Ah, nevermind then. Keep up the good work, etc.

Best of all, all the textures are on a single 2048x2048 map. Hooray for no slideshows!

Gotta say, your mapping skills are impressive. What does the unwrap look like?

Here's a shot of the unwrapped texture.

Cute ship.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #84 on:** April 17, 2010, 11:33:57 PM »

All right, kids. Last chance to provide suggestions on the textures as I'll be preparing to export in a little while.

I'll let the pics do the talking.

hmm... all looks good except for the top of the bridge... seems like it's missing something.

Thanks, that explains some neat shortcuts to save on texture memory.

Just to see how you get so much from so little. I wanted to see what you cut out, what/where you mirrored textures, etc.

How small is she compared to the Eclipse?

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #91 on:** April 18, 2010, 10:13:47 AM »

A fairly small ship. Maybe 250 meters.

Nebula · « **Reply #92 on:** April 18, 2010, 10:18:24 AM »

hmm I wonder if you should get Cord to experiment with the Nif... get those extra glows working.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #93 on:** April 18, 2010, 12:07:57 PM »

extra glows?

i have enhanced glows turned off, if that's what you mean.

Nebula · « **Reply #94 on:** April 18, 2010, 12:25:24 PM »

no that's not it....

here is a pic showing what I mean.

they aren't baked on..

cordanilus · « **Reply #95 on:** April 18, 2010, 03:14:23 PM »

I would like to try it. All the glows would have to be on a separate texture and it can be in in any variation of color that you choose. No Alpha channels needed in the textures. I used a MultiTexture node in the Nif file to add the glows on the ship, no "_glow" needed.

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #96 on:** May 05, 2010, 12:08:52 PM »

Looks good, I like it they way it is right now, I think that if you added more glows, you might ruin the subtle-ness of the ship. The only thing I don't like is the dual white spots on the impulse engines. It would probably look better if it was set up with one spot and that spot being a slightly lighter shade of red, In my opinion anyway. Also, The saucer looks like it could get elongated a little bit that might be better as it might give the ship a more stealthy look

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #97 on:** June 15, 2011, 10:52:54 AM »

Hey guys, I'll have this ship packed up and released soon.

086gf · « **Reply #98 on:** June 15, 2011, 02:22:49 PM »

Oh I almost forgot about this one very nice ship.

Awesome!

I asked this question in another thread but your new Sovereign won't overwrite anything right?
