Sovie/Saber Crossover

How time goes by

Put a lot of work in my Kelvin/JJ Oberth:





Still not satisfied with the registry glows as the jjprise has several small lights not only a big one. It not even had one on nacelle regs...

[hobbs]

nice!
well done on the ship... ive never figured out how to do reg glows as for my texture efforts... you surpass me sir

[baz1701]

Lights are not to bad but needs more fall off. Below are the reg lights for my JJprise and the Excelsior. The old primeverse ships have a single reg source light were as the JJverse has multiple lights.

The other thing I would look at is the windows. Try adding some shadows and something to break up the large white boxes. I general use a picture of the interior or can add a pattern like Wiley, this will help with the scale and break up the large white boxes.

Hope this helps.

Wiley has a reg spot tutorial in here, somewhere.  that should also help.

HOBBS: graduated reg spots are hard to pull off with paintshop, and utterly impossible with 7 due to how the spot effect is scripted.

bashir: if I remember right, nacelle reg spots in the JJverse are downcast instead of backcast.

agreed but there MUST be a way

[King Class Scout]

you can use the paintshop spotlight macro, but it automatically blacks out the background completely, and auto deletes any selections that could have been used for alphas.  I believe baz once explained to pre make the spots, then paste over the selection/Alpha

[007bashir]

I'll keep it, as it is now. No more changes. At least on this model...





I need someone who can export and HP my Oberth Class Kelvin/JJ Style. Alternatively, is there a tutorial?

[KrrKs]

I thought there was a HP tutorial either here or at the Filefront forums, but I can't find it anymore.
-If you want to HP it yourself, the 'modelpropertyeditor.html' file that comes with the SDK has an overview->the Q&A is important.

Alternatively, I could try to HP the ship (but Hobbs is likely better at that than I am). I have some free time in august.

she is ingame and being hardpointed by Hobbs:



Oh, and much earned cookie for Hoobs

[moed]

Pretty nice Bashir!

[007bashir]

thanks.

The ship is in pre-betatest. I will call out for testers i a couple of days.
Meanwhile:

Sovereign/saber hybrid

[hobbs]

oooo.... i like that

[007bashir]

some progress:

[007bashir]

She stands now at 26k polys. Need to reduce that furder till finished. What do you guys think of it?







The bottom pod serves as a torpedo pod and a third impulse drive but can be refited or replaced with other modules.

[hobbs]

she is looking great 007Bashir very nice little ship i want to fly her

[007bashir]

thanks hobbs. Now, update:





She stands just under 11'000 Polys. Is that good enough for BC?

[King Class Scout]

c'mon, I could handle Baz's 54k JJprise refit with a texture reduction on a crappy stock graphics card.  it's fine.

[baz1701]

Agreed with KSC anything under 20K with 1024 textures will run fine.

[007bashir]

I am looking for two or three testers for my JJ/TOS Oberth Class ship? Please PM
