not only is this shaping up nicely, i finally got someone to give a plain English explanation on how to get the modern looking decoration on hulls... from someone for whom English is a second language!

now I know what to do with the "d'arc" 's new hide.

okay, bones, get your butt over here. I'm gonna want advice once I got it kicked over around here...

Yup. Bones is a very skilled texturer who can always explain very well to someone

And finally, finished. Still I have to finish some adjustments on some places's alpha channel.

Wooooooooooooow guys, in NifSkope looks awesome :eek
EDIT:
Guys, can i expand the taskbar and on the second monitor?

Hey Vladko, just a suggestion, but darken the phaser arrays, thy being that light make it a pain to HP them.

You are definitly improving with every ship.

One suggestion...the rollbar looks a bit flimsy, maybe thicken it some?

...not sure about typ 1's fins on nacelles tho, but if you get rid of them it will look cooler ;)

Definitly the rollbar.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll see what i can do, but not today. I want some rest ;)

Been working on a practice map!
Hope it looks nice!
Also there is a aztek pattern i made, but it is not polarized so it isn't really applicable to a model.
Just practicing, and i hope to get better.
Made in Paint.net!

I had an inspiration from Dalek's render, and I made this, but the rings are buggy

Please, help to fix it

metalnick · « **Reply #911 on:** January 01, 2011, 11:30:50 AM »

I would offer only one suggestion. Maybe make the greys a bit closer to the same shade? Still looks pretty good to me. As for the rings, good luck with that one.

This may be harsh but here I go and i apologise in advance...

Spend more time on the ships mapping and textures and less on the renders!!!!

These guys here need to see good quality models and high quality textures, not cheap renders with glows.. hence the lack of replies

You are doing good work mate, keep it going, but concentrate on those core skills

Vladko1 · « **Reply #913 on:** January 05, 2011, 04:22:11 PM »

Thanks Markyd! All of this can be explained with lazziness from my side

I have the skills needed to create high poly models and detailed textures, but i'm too lazy to work soo long

But i can say, with every new ship, i'm slowly going through this. With every new ship i'm spending more time to imagine the design and more time to work in 3ds max and photoshop

And when i make for the first time the thing that i'm too lazy to do, after that i know that it's not so hard

MarkyD · « **Reply #914 on:** January 05, 2011, 04:48:06 PM »

Belive me mate, I understand that frustration..

Try to tune that into perfecting your textures, so far ur mapping looks ok, just those details etc etc etc etc... Its a harsh critic, but since DJ raised the bar and Wiley jumped at the bit its been a tough place this.

But you will learn, so keep with it

Baz 1701 it grabbing and shaking to show he knows his stuff, there are guys in there with them too that shw the good, there are too many to mention and they are all around you.. absorb all you can

Actually, I'd say Scotchy and Chronocidal Guy raised the bar out of sight, then wandered away from the community, and it took almost everyone else about 5 years to catch up :p

sovereign001 · « **Reply #916 on:** January 05, 2011, 06:13:03 PM »

Do anyone knows a place with tutorials, how to start building or texturing a ship? Easy stuff, no brainkilling stuff..

Thats your opinion.

The problem is that people download a copy of 3ds max then they think they can follow a few tutorials and make a ship, you see countless people trying as they pop in and out of the forums, the lesson is!! We all learnt the hard way, go in to the readme and read the tuts, there are hundeds, build the chess set first etc.. and one you have a basic understanding, learn some mapping and go from there.

If not then PM and ask your questions.. ?

Textures are easier... not easy, but easier. The require Paint.net for easy curves, and are very easy to map out, but then you have details, and those are hard.
