Ok, she's ingame, can't say she's ready but still it's more than nothing... at first sight everything is fine but then when you look closer things doesn't look too well

model has some missing parts, there are some mapping errors like distorsions or even whole areas haveing completely messed UVWs I could fix mapping in Milkshape (don't have Max anymore) but that will ruin smoothing completely so I would be back in starting point...

I'll pack her so you can take a look at her tomorrow ;)

Missing parts?

nacelle fins, connections between hull and torpedo tubes, few triangles on nacelles and saucer rim, few more maybe.

If issues such as these continue to creep up, the BC release may have to be scrapped completely, and just a general release will have to do.

Oh, Bones, install the registries that I had sent.

I guess sine this ship started with me (mapping) it will end with me.

I am currently tweaking the textures and exporting the ship so it is BC capable. You wanted USS Resurrection NCC-1796 for your ship?

Also, Bones could you PM me with a link to the hardpointed version of the Resurrection?

defiantly see some weirdness in 007 pic long the bottom rear nacelle seam. Hope you guys can solve this it looks really good otherwise.

Yep. Not sure if you have the registries I had made or not. If not, let me know and I'll send them along.

I got the textures, but the curved registries were warped. I tweaked them so they looked "proper."

I'll deal with the registries later because I just noticed with spots that could use additional glows ;)

here's the link to scripted ship, please note there are no sounds ATM and the icon is Sobieski's, I have a render of Resurrection ready just need to make it an icon

...and here's the mesh only with high res textures and models in MAX

Never give up! Never Surrender!

The Resurrection is now scaled down to the TMP Enterprise, and exported fine. I also added a new ship icon. The saucer was remapped (assigned the impulse area to the correct texture). There was a minor hiccup when I exported it (shuttlebay door texture looks as if it is cracked open a bit), and I still have yet to add the registries.

Other than that, it needs a hardpoint and it is ready for release.

Could you send me updated ship, I can take care of registries if you want, anyways I need to fit hardpoint to the new scale.

Its a bit too thick for my liking in the saucer and bridge but I will definitly give it a try.

Dawg81 · « **Reply #198 on:** December 28, 2011, 12:52:06 PM »

Wiley u are da man!!!!!!!!

and that never give never surrender was part of my old 9th fleet sig. great minds think alike

Centurus · « **Reply #199 on:** December 28, 2011, 02:44:13 PM »

Just registries then. Whoever makes the new set of registries, could you do me 2 favors? One, add them where I had them originally, cause I liked the placement and also the blue outline color, and 2, send me PSDs of them, so I can use the templates for other ship registries?

I can't believe after almost 2 years, this ship is finally gonna be released. Gotta update the readme.
