Another question? Are you going to release the FC/INS along with the NEM/Sentinel Sov in one pack? or release the FC/INS as one pack and then the Sentinel/NEM as a separate pack? Also even though the ship isn't rigged for the skinning and damaging tool..Id like to have a blank just for a run of the mill production Sov.

Beautiful.

Great work!

Judging by his WIP list on Page 1, I'd say that they're going to be separate, with the NEM/Sentinel headlining the Star Trek Invasion pack. I might be wrong, but that's what I'd assume.

Wylie, could you give a quick explanation of how you get the window textures to have such realistic depth (with an apparent interior)? Or would that be better as a live tutorial?

Meteorafallen · « **Reply #3064 on:** May 12, 2011, 08:00:18 PM »

Well the Sentinel will be exclusive to the Invasion Pack, but I'm sure that Wiley will want to release a Nemesis version of the Sovereign oh his own.

Good idea- keep the ships only for ST Invasion Pack in one pack. Many people probably just want to play with the Enterprise and not the other ships. I'll make the changes to my WIP list. CptBenSisko assumed correct. Both or all 3 Enterprise-E variants could be in a single pack.

No tutorial for the windows. Just have all of the lit windows in a single layer- use the layer properties/palette and add a color overlay (the bluish tint). Then add a pattern overlay (and use multiply, overlay, etc, so the color shows through) and change the scale to that most of the windows look uniquely detailed.

Thanks! That's pretty similar to how I created the windows for my Vesta pack, but I just didn't get the same realistic quality you achieved here. I'll play around with it and see what I can do on the Prometheus textures.

That's how I learn.

I'm a little confused... will WC be releasing 4 ships in one pack or just the INS model? I don't really care either way as I probably will use the FC/INS model anyways...

Depending on the final texture sizes for the ships, I could release each ship individually instead of together. It would reduce download size.

I'm gonna guess that the Sentinel is exclusive to the Invasion pack, so that leaves three Enterprise-E variants...either pack or individually, I'm gonna get them all!

Too bad DJ didn't get his released...the two style Sovvies together would make for epic screenies.

moed · « **Reply #3071 on:** May 13, 2011, 02:47:50 PM »

Speaking of DJ... I hope he comes back and does release his Sovvy. Both of these are fantastic and would obviously be awesome additions to BC.

Hope DJ's doing well.

What will the USS Sentinal feature exactly?

The ship will be a Post-Nemesis variant featuring darker hull coloring similar to ST: Invasion, extra set of saucer impulse engines and altered nacelles (they won't be big like the original game). Meteorafallen's website has the same information and pics of the original ship used in the game.

wiley if you have done this yet could we see some shots of the captains yacht ingame? im just curious on how it will look....

also, will you be doing black no registry textures?

FarShot · « **Reply #3075 on:** May 13, 2011, 06:23:13 PM »

It looks great. ;) I hope it's not too late for nitpicks, though. I think the smoothing groups on the secondary hull/saucer interface, just aft of the impulse engines, are a bit wonky.

To quote the good Doctor again:
"Oh WOW!"

(there seems to be some mip-mapping going on in your renders from the aft viewpoint - spoils the warp field grills a little - just FYI)

My thought was more of the line of

"Sweet Jesus!"

Excellent Work as usual

Check back a couple of pages; we already did that one . . . ;)

I'm currently making the Nemesis version, and I am taking my time with it to ensure all of the coloring matches the movie.
