Anyways, school has started and my time for working on BC models has decreased. When I get time, I'll post a wip pic of some saucer texturing for the Phase II Enterprise.

As promised, a quick render of some texturing for the Phase II Enterprise. You got to love max when making spotlights. This will help with the JJprise v4.

Wow, that is fantastic work there Wiley!

Hmm...okay, now that you're even including the conjectural refit Enterprise with this pack, I'm halfway expecting a Koerner-Prise to appear out of the woodwork. Surely you're not that crazy Wiley.

Either way dude, your work exudes pure awesomeness, and while it's a shame that school is going to be cutting into your free time, you can't help that any more than Spock can help the fact that he has pointed ears. As I have said in many other threads in reference to many other projects, true masterpieces take time to complete, and your TMP pack and JJ-Prise v4 are certain to be fine examples of that.

Thats awsome work, those spotlights are quality, are they actuall lights? or have you render baked them on ? ether way love it, I will need to learn that method. Sheer quality. +cookie

Would be great to know how you did them as spotlights one of my weak points

WileyCoyote · « **Reply #1605 on:** August 25, 2009, 01:16:41 PM »

What I did:
-Create a LARGE plane in max and color it white(no textures)
-Grab a spotlight and make the cone of the spotlight go just above the plane (this should make a small angle and the triangular effect)
-you can tweak the hotspot/beam, and Falloff/Field effects of the spotlight
-render a top view, it should be overall black and a little white spotlight, then save it
-open up Photoshop and select the newly rendered image
-paste the image into the alpha channel in your texture, and stretch/enlarge to desired size.
-That's it.

Here's some more texturing- underside saucer, saucer rim and neck.

It's basically a TOS Connie with aztecs.

Good stuff

Yep, pretty much. I'm just adding various TOS details that look cool on the ship, even if they are not on the schematics I'm using. It's an easy TOS/TMP hybrid. I'm also experimenting with different types of window lighting- not all of the windows are evenly lit. I might even make a few multicolored to see what it would look like.

Hehe, with a red, romantic light, you'll know someone will get lucky. ;)

Usually Kirk or Spock (depending on the year). I'll start working on the secondary hull.

Looking great Wiley. 8)

Here's some more work on the engineering hull.

Very nice mate.

I really like the Gold deflector dish in front of the Blue one. Kinda like its almost ready for the 2nd refit in 2 years.

Or perhaps this is like the Decatur, the Belknap-class prototype (I'm a Ships of the Star Fleet buff, lol) - they did all the testing in a certain configuration on a certain ship before going full-bore.
