I'm with you on that buddy.

thirded!

really great work the DJ... any tips on how to split the ships for textureing, uv mapping?
i mean looking at yours its all so crisp and clean while i find i have (not on the NX266 or NovaConcept though lol) streached sections. my Griffin Class has that issue. pointers would be great.

great work again sir.

Go to the tutorials section under modding. Watch the tutorials I recorded a few years ago. You might find them helpful. I find it's all about picking the right initial UVW angle and then just fine tuning.

Really loving it.  The attention to mapping the phaser strips well is paying off.

Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

I may slightly hate you for one thing though - those torpedo launchers' placements.  I've sketched so many ships over the years with torpedo launchers in that area, but I've never finished any of them.  Beat me to the punch, you have.  :P

I am attempting to revive KM with a team of modders. So far we have a scripter who can do part time work, a dedicated hardpointer/modeler, and me. I can edit and test scripts and also do graphics. The goal right now for KM 2015 is to rebalance all the ship stats and canon hardpoints, and get Silent Running into multiplayer (yes, multiplayer works now that we've fixed the master server ;) )

tethys I know you are doing well on getting KM back up and running but I think you should stick to a singular thread about it. k ;)

Textures are nearly complete.  Just a few small areas yet to do.

Just a heads up guys.  i will be converting this ship, but due to a flood we had in our basement several months, ago, my BC disc is in a sea can in a box somewhere in my driveway.  Until then, I won't be able to do the HP etc.  But I promise I will!

You could just hand it off to someone else.  I don't mind though.  I'll just use it for renderings and such.
