Looking good mate.

I've managed to get a bit done. I've textured the front part of the secondary hull and have given it a slight green tint. I still need to retexture the nacelles and map both the impulse and bridge sections.

Edit: I've just added some glows to behind the deflector. I thought it looked too plain and i've tried to make it remenisant of the glows around the dish on the Refit Connie.

Yeah, those lights behind the deflector dish makes her scream more advanced than the TOS Connie IMHO.

If it were designated as a "Phase 2" era ship, it would look just right. In between the stages of the TOS Connie, and the TMP Connie.

Which just so happens to be the Era i'm aiming for

I've started work on the nacelle textures. After doing the aztecs on them i've decided i'm going to go back and redo the ones on the secondary hull, they seem to cluttered in comparison.

Billz · « **Reply #46 on:** September 14, 2009, 06:51:07 PM »

I love this. Can't wait.

I would suggest that you lighten those hull lines a little bit near the deflector. The lines with the windows in them I mean.

genty · « **Reply #47 on:** September 14, 2009, 06:53:57 PM »

I've actually already done that. I recoloured them while redoing the panelling for the hull. I'll have some new pics tomorrow.

lookin good. tho TOS ships have no place on my install (not enough room and my performance sux as it is), i still like the look of this

keep it up

NeoKaede · « **Reply #49 on:** September 15, 2009, 05:17:22 AM »

This ship is way cool and I love the little lights behind the dish. You'll have another download here

Thanks for the comments, this is actually the best a model i've done has tuned out. I generally only get to the making stage and never get around to texturing.
I've started on the registries on the saucer, i'll be adding more to the textures later on.

Dalek · « **Reply #51 on:** September 15, 2009, 11:03:54 AM »

That is a beauty.

Nuff said.

Adonis · « **Reply #52 on:** September 15, 2009, 11:03:59 AM »

Dude, I'm attaching the most cannon TOS fonts known to me to this post.

Dalek · « **Reply #53 on:** September 15, 2009, 11:07:49 AM »

Just thinking...cos this is more phase 2 than TOS, the fonts might be a bit more...advanced?

I am actually using the Airborne font

It's probably just the angle of the pic's which is making them look different..
I prefer the TOS font style for the early ships. I could always do another ship with a newer font style later on.

Zephram · « **Reply #55 on:** September 15, 2009, 12:42:35 PM »

looks real nice, although I would place the font az an aztec of its own, so it has not got panels running through the reg.

I'm going to be finalising the spec maps once the main texture is done. It saves having to redo it every time I make a change.
I decided to test it out in game today. The textures aren't finished and there are a couple of parts using the wrong texture (mapping is done just no texture made yet) at the moment but I wanted to see how it was in game. Here are some test shots of it in game.

Dalek · « **Reply #57 on:** September 18, 2009, 05:23:45 PM »

Is it me or does it look a bit pale ingame?

genty · « **Reply #58 on:** September 18, 2009, 05:27:22 PM »

I took them in the Banzai 1 map so as to get the specs showing up. I've not tried it in other systems yet. The textures though where deliberately light and probably seemed darker in the maps due to the lighting.

You get better specular lighting while in warp.

Also, Omega Draconis 2 is good if you want to see speculars in-game.

Anyway, this ship is pretty. I look forward to playing with it.
