I could have used ID map swapping for the Kelvin ships, but due to issues I was not able to. I'll do what I can for the Excelsior. The Excelsior is the "ultimate test" to see if I can do ID map swapping.

as I said if you need any help on that end let me know
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
-Pulp Fiction

*Whistles*

It's amazing what you can do while still keeping a low poly count.

After I saw today's POTD of my Kelvin going against the Planet Killer, I quickly noticed how "low quality" the planet killer was. So last night, in about 45 minutes time, I built a 3.6k poly Planet Killer and textured it. Enjoy! :D

Just think of it- the overall shape is 4 cylindrical objects, with the largest one having a large round cut in it. I made a cylinder with 40 sides and 10 height segments and moved the points around to make a rocky shape. I cloned the section and slightly tweaked each section.

I was a part of Excal for a little bit- they gave me the McKinley Drydock. I still have no clue how to bump map. The drydock was not very fun because of the lack of reference images. Ships are more fun and I do not have a deadline. I work on my own time. Plus, they are probably happier that they have us making an effort for modding BC.

A new planet killer?

Goody.

I love how you have given a TOS-R feel to it. I like the TOS version but I think, given the choice, that the remastered version is much better then the 60s version, even if it does have only slight changes to the 60s one.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.
