Near Canon NCC-1701 STTMP Retexture of Khaliban FCA (My First BC Mod)

[Bones]

O.o quite good ???????

these textures are stunning man, really the best panelling work on connie ever...
You made them from scratch or are they improvement of existing maps ???

[Khaliban]

That's always been my one issue with this model, there are smoothing errors all over the place.  The detail is nearly perfect, it just needs the smoothing groups tweaked to remove the oddly shaded parts.

If anyone has access to the original model, it'd be a pretty fast process to clean that up.

I updated the model for Dr_McCoy1701A and fixed some of the smoothing errors.  I've posted it in 3ds format for anyone who wants to play with it.

Thanks Khaliban.
And welcome back.

Well I'll be damned. Are you back modding too?

I don't do starships anymore.  They take too much time.  I do lightsabers sometimes.  The last one is a Wookie saber.

 :shock: :shock: :shock: these sabers are amazing, could you port them to KOTOR and KOTOR 2 please ???

I'm going to play KOTOR 2 after the restoration project is done.  I usually mod games I'm playing.  The first two are out for Jedi Academy if you want to convert them.

It's been some time since my last post and I have been working with Khaliban's modified model to see if I could put it to use and modified the textures some more to see how the effect would work. I made some minor changes to the model to make her look like the TMP and put her in game and took some screen shots.

Nice work there ;) -BR32

[Billz]

Nice. 2 pointers

1. Decrease the intensity of the reg lights. They look way too bright
2. The deflector was more of a goldish yellow. You have made it very bright orange there.

Looking forward to seeing more.

I like what i see! Khalibans baby is the best Connie IMO; It was time for her to get a face-lift! Keep up with the mojo! :spartasanta:

Decker if u really want this as near canon as possible I'd suggest using the engine warmup script.

It's already been face lifted

As for hte retex, I'm with Billz on it, lights are way to bright (just like on my retex ) and deflector should look more like this:

If you mean the MVAM, that is what I have been wanting to use for making this near canon where you have the Enterprise as she is powering up, and then her at Warp Power. I am still trying to learn how to totally modify it so there is also a off/sitting in drydock  version and full impulse power version without the warp nacelles on.

I am still messing with the deflector lights and I think it is getting closer to the TMP version. I am still thinking of tweaking the main textures  or making an alt. But here are some more pics of progress.

[Bones]

That's better but next you should consider changing saturation on windows and bussards. Windows should be light blue (beginnig of the movie) or beige (near the end of the movie) bussards should be more golden and dimmer

[Dawg81]

no Decker the MVAM power up is old news im talking about a new plugin which was just created last month it allows the powerup ofthe nacelles just prior to her jumping to warp. Can someone please explain this nacelle warmup script better to Decker

[limey BSc.]

Its part of FTech. It basically makes the warp nacelles glow before jumping to warp. Me and jb have put it on our re-texture of the connie. If you add me on MSN, I can talk you through setting it up.

[WillDecker]

Just a small update with something extra added.

[Aeries]

Simply put: O_O

[WillDecker]

I did an 1701-A texture as well. I am thinking that this is going to be more of a megapack if anything. With the refit and the A. That way if there are some people who want textures of the "A", they have them
