My Work Thread

[Starfox1701]

First off I want to blame Jetfreak and Majestic for everything you are about to see; They sicked a TMP bug on me with their recent work

 

[Adm_Z]

Woah, can you post more pics of that last one? It looks very strange. I like it already.

 

[CptBenSisko]

Waiting on a couple of permisions on some parts used on the Reliant, Saratoga, and Soyuz models

Hello:
You have done a lot of good models, they all look very good. Can I ask their poly-counts? or an average count?

Keep it up!

My Bad!

Personally I never like the gibbles that are on the Centaur, they just didn't fit in my view.

However very nice work mate, you got a nice fleet there.

 

[thunderfoot]

Very nice fleet, Bro! Very nice indeed. Any plans to release a TMP era Full Race mod.

Thanks I thought about it and figured that space was at a massive premium onboard.

Thanks man. No Race plans just ship packs as I get them done. Was getting burnt out on fighters for the ISD so I dusted off some unfinised ships to tryout jets textures and well 1 week later here we are

 

[Jetfreak]

Holy bleep! I was just thinking of the other TMP variants that I missed. Awesome to see how you managed to nail the details which I wanted to see. Excelsior looks the part and those Connie and Miranda sub-types are ace! Serious props on the Centaur too!

Thanks for using my textures as well, but will my current sets work with the new models? Or did you edit them too?

They are not really new models. With the exceptions of the 2 Lord Schtupps TOS style conis The rest are basicly P81 models with the occasional new part so yea they worked just fine. Had to Add some stuff for the new coni refit ans miranda veriants but the set made it very simple
The only major change I made is on the Excelsiors where I used the mesh I sent you and completely reworked the textues to get it down to 6 512s. When I'm done she will be down to 2 1024s to save processing power and all the ships will have LODs too.
I will include copies of all the named versions you did for these meshes so people can use them for pics. Might be a few ither surprises depending on what else is close to release ready from this timeframe and howlong it takes to get the premistions straight on som of the parts I used.

 

[Jetfreak]

Sounds cool, just give me a call if you need some extra texture work to be done.

 

[Starfox1701]

K I'll let you know if I need anything

 

[Hellkite]

real top notch work you have going on here Starfox1701

 

[Jetfreak]

A follow up question Starfox, are you planning to add the Akula Class too?

 

[Starfox1701]

Thanks man

A follow up question Starfox, are you planning to add the Akula Class too?

It is on the todo list but I have yet to find a model worthy of the update. most of them just look like coni parts slaped together. I want her to have a more KA look with new P81 style textures.

 

[Starfox1701]

Ok Jet per your request we have Akula 2 for the price of 1

 

[Jetfreak]

Right on! Can I also have the Akyazi variant without the extra hull protrusion too?

 

[Starfox1701]

And the Arbiter with the extra stern torp and shield generator

 

[Jetfreak]

Hey starfox, a friend of mine from DA, captshade has a very nice collection of TMP designs. Maybe you can try to make one of his ships.

Kitbashing done right, and with good reason.
captshade's deviantART gallery

 

[Starfox1701]

Hold on there Jet I already have around 30 distict ships or veriations not counting any of the hero"named" versions in the pack. Lets not bite of more then a whole mod team could chew on K

 

[Jetfreak]

No problem, with that much WIP ships, I can wait.

 

[Majestic]

Personally I never liked the Akyazi with the low hanging protrusion. I also didn't like Legacy calling it the Akula. Many call that class the Apollo, I honestly don't know what it's name is but my version is following the same lines as WickedZombies version of the ship, in fact his model helped me to get mine looking right.

But yeap I look forward to you boost the MSFC TMP fleet Starfox, you've done a lot of work here and it would be good to see a new TMP season come to MSFC soon.

 

[Starfox1701]

She is called the Akyazi perimeter action ship. She was constructed in 3 blocks with minor equipment veriations noted by the lead ships Akyazi, Arbiter, and Akula. The massive pritrution on the Akulas is called a shield spar and in therory is supise to draw a dispapotionate amount of incoming fire to itself to be disapated on a speically renforced section of shields. I'm thinking some short runing veriation of the corbomite reflector might work to simulated it.

 

[Starfox1701]

More pics this time of 2 of my favs from the SFM with an early TMP refit of course. I present the starships Avenger and Predator

 

[Jetfreak]

Kick butt man, Masao sure played his cards right with those designs.

 

[Starfox1701]

Yea and thanks to Dino and Terradhyne we have these awsome models. Now lest all the other guys get pouty lips thinking the Feds are going to get all the love hers a few other things I have dreged up from the deapths of my HD for the pack, the E6, E9, and E12. 3 SFM inspired destroyers. I'll let you all figure out who gets to use them

 

[thunderfoot]

... I'll let you all figure out who gets to use them

Ummm...Rihannsu? Because of the treaty obligations? lol They almost look like Chibis(j/k!)

 

[Starfox1701]

Theres a thought Romulan E12 and D12 You think they will look good next to this

 

[thunderfoot]

Oh Gawd! I remember that one from the PnP game, Star Fleet Battles. Still gives me nightmares.

 

[Starfox1701]

Muwah ha ha ha ha more to come
