Baz1701's Trek XI Enterprise - The Dalek is standing down
« on: November 19, 2008, 04:22:06 PM »
Right, I've begun designing my phaser idea and I just want recommendations, any supporting ideas and that kind of stuff. The phaser wont be that thick but its just to make the details more obvious. And it may not be to that exact design idea since nothing is perfect.

Do you want the phaser emiters moved? Your beam is higher than the emitter. I can move them if you like?

Well the ship is done. I'm turning this thread over to Dalekanium2 to keep us up dated as he finishes her off for you guys to get her shot up in the game.

I'm giving him a free hand to change what ever he wants as it is his project now.

Can't wait to take her out and give it a try when he is done.

That's an old pic baz, I'll have a better look at the more recent pics. The whole idea is to show off the phasers themselves, not where they are.

Now, you know the Ori ships? In BC, they fire one "pulse" of energy at the enemy target. I want to do a similar thing except make it 2 or 3 "pulses" of phaser fire.

well, you could make a disruptor projectile and make it fire as a phaser, or you could make a phaser texture that looks somewhat like the TMP phasers, but with a large space below the actual pulse, kinda like this:

Na, thats not it. I've done it with MPE while messing around with ZZ's Planet Killer. I created this slow moving pulse but I can only remeber the specs for a huge powerful blast, not a small phaser like pulse movement.

well, start off with the huge product, then scale everything down by a factor of 10.  and if its too big, scale it down by a factor of 10 again and again until its the right size.

Well Download , the planet read the scripts, it may jog your memory, as to how it's done.

What I did with the planet kill er was copy over the Ori ships specs.

I'll do what Cappin April said, and start a new thread for since people will look at this and might think that nothings going on. Even though there is :D.

make sure you get permission from Dave, if those are his Ori ships...
unless, of course, if you mean youre using his phaser values as a template for yours... 
either way, it would be best to be safe, and let him know just the same (assuming it is from the SG Ship Pack)...

Yeah, just a template. Nothing's perfect since I want 3 pulsey things instead of 1. There will be other things that need changing just in case to keep a uniqueness about it. :D

Kirk says make the tga's file names shorter, to something like JJHull1, JJSpec1, JJGrill, JJDelfector. Do you get the idea?

Are the textures proportional like 256, 512, 1024, 2048 pixels?

I should have thought of that. Thanks WIley.
