Don't worry Wiley. Some things do take time.

YES!

For downloadable ship versions, it is version 2 (when it is actually the version 3 buildup). I could add some nacelle grille details, since I am below 15k polys.

I think we are both on the same amount of JJprises. Both have one that never made it to release, our V2's released and as for the V3's mine just released and yours about to be launched makes the grand total of 6 JJprises started,and two released between us.
Whatever knocks us back, can only make us stronger.

And both of your releases are fantastic! :)

You nearly made me think that the v3 was released! :lol:

Now to sit and twiddle my thumbs, waiting to download the JJPrise version Awesome3!

I use both JJPrises in battle.
If I could, I would mix both of your interpretations.  I would take Wiley's saucer, secondary hull, nacelles, phasers, and textures, and Baz's impulse engines with a small texture edit, torpedoes, torpedo launcher, pylons, shuttlebay, and nacelle fins.

I posted the JJprise V3 on BCfiles last night, and it hasn't been posted on the main site. I guess we will all have to be patient.

All done.

Oh Wiley...she is FRAKKIN AWESOME! I see you took up on the idea I mentioned and the rest of the hardpoint...is just stunning.

Phasers: Look and sound awesome
Torpedoes: Fabulous
Model: My poor computer could barely handle the speculars! :P

100000000000/10 from me.

no doubt this thread will go onto the next project...

Galaxy and Ambassador escape pods aren't that interesting. Maybe you could make a mix with your own creative flair?

Well if it's a Proto-Ambassador I would do something where the Escape pods are hidden in hull than showing on deck?

I'm sorry for the lack of updates or responses. I am still in school getting ready for finals. I am really happy that everyone is enjoying the new JJ Enterprise. :D So I am locking the thread until I am out of school (less than 2 weeks).

If your textures were any more better, I think you could actually hop in and pilot it.

What about posts 42, 47, and 327?

Pretty neat!  I like the Ambassador colors toned down like that. :)

I do like the colors myself. We could alll thank Adonis for posting the website that has the color charts are navy and airforce. You can't fail with those colors.

In the tutorials section. The website also provided RGB as well as hex code for accurate coloring.

NP mate :) I found that site originally in search of swatches for WW2 planes. And since the studio models use the FS (Federal Standard) chart, I posted it here too to make u younglings lives easier :P :)

Oh, and use the hex chart, it's more accurate than the RGB values ;)
