I've had some extra time lately so I pulled this ship off of the shelf and have finished texturing most of the stardrive; I am still dissatisfied with the sides of the stardrive towards the tail section, and I will probably just fill these in with small detailed hull plating (you can't go wrong with little "L" and "l" shapes, etc.).
-
Hey there Russell! How ya been? Im glad to see that u have the extra time to pull this off the shelf. Its looking great.
-
Nice to see this project back up.
I really like this concept.
-
Im so glad that you started working on her again.
-
Long time no see! Glad to see ya picking this up again!
-
Long time no see! Glad to see ya picking this up again!
Agreed!!
Welcome back Russell, glad to see you posting again here at BCC. :D
Those textures on the secondary hull are coming on nicely, keep it up I can't wait to see more!! :D
-
Nice to see you back on this Cap. Russell, was hoping this would see the light of day eventually. It's a quality model.
-
That looks great. :) I personally am getting rather font of the post-nemesis designs. The sovereign, now the Luna, they appear to be of a whole new generation of ships. I think as far as the designs no longer fitting under the title TNG, being of a whole new lineage. Ablative armour, trading the grey slates for black/grey/white patterns. I love it!
-
I'm also glad that you're back again, Capt. Russel.
Great work.
May I recommend Ftech, if you wanna use enhanced techs?
-
A little more done - decided to add some windows.
-
Looking good indeed, the aztecing on the hull looks vey detailed. My only "minor" criticism is that the row of windows you've added doesn't look quite straight as it goes down the side of the ship. Perhaps altering the texture mapping would help!?.
In any case, you probably know this already lol. Keep up the good work!! 8)
-
Thats gonna be a keeper.
Excellent job. Welcome back by the way.
-
Indeed, Im looking forward to taking her for a spin :)
-
Im looking forward to seeing how many holes i can put in her, hehe.
-
This already is starting to look good....a good mesh reallyhelps. Soon, there will probably be a video called "Battle of the Titans" involving this version, LC's Titan, and even WickedZomie's Titan. Can I do a terran version when this ship is finshed......wait, that requires a different model. Oh, well :).
-
I will be adding more to this ship over thanksgiving - hopefully I will have much more of it done by then - I have an exam in a really stupid class on Tuesday that I must give attention to, but after that I will have a few days off to work on this ship.
I also would like for some one to add some blinkers to this ship for me - would any of you be willing to do this? This ship is already fully-hardpointed, so all that needs to be done is for blinkers to be added to the hardpoint that I have.
-CR
-
I love doing blinkers--- I can help! You have to send me the ship though.... :D.
-
you could always add a phaser strip down the midship line and have it stop short of curving around the tail.
Ship is looking great and I hope it gets done soon.
-
Damn, can't wait for its release
-
Wow...this is really awesome! Great work!
-
Those pix look good, though, given the size of the ship, you might want to remove some of the windows, it seems like they go on too continuously.
Just to illustrate what I mean
This is what you've got for those windows...
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
I'd suggest...
l l l l l l l l l l l l
Just a suggestion.
-
Looking at the windows i tend to agree with our resident DJ/ship builder the windows are too cluttered together and they do look a little crooked other than that shes gonna be a sight to behold once shes done. Off topic: I think its going to be between Asylum and Russell for modder of the month for November
-
Maybe I will lessen the number of windows - they are randomly spaced (look closely) - I put a lot of windows so that I would not have to draw so much annoying aztecing LOL.
Hope to have much more for you all tommorow.
-CR
-

I think DJ means "even more spaced".
even the Galaxy windows were irregular in the saucer, except around Ten Forward, but that's because it was a big room.
and as for the aztecing, it's supposed to be a background. do a big aztecing and then cut the holes for the windows, not at the inverse.
-
im looking forward to seeing more pics!, its about time we had a version of her in bc, (i dont think there is any others?)
-
i agree, its looking good
-
Nice work on the Luna Class, CR.
I thought you became one with FarCry modding, lol. Nice to see you back. :)
-
Anotehr little update; I've started the intimidating task of texturing the top of the saucer section - I think that the aztecing on the saucer top may be too faint - what do you all think?
-CR
-
looking great but i can hardly see any aztec on the saucer its too faint
-
I can see it pretty clearly. I think it looks good if it's faint, just with a strong specular to pick it up.
-

Yeah it's there believe me, but I think it could either use a higher-contrast specular or maybe be darkened with the contrast increased, which I will definitely do.
-CR
-
This is looking better and better each time I see it. Speculars should help this ship out. Good work. :D
-
hey CR...can't wait for the Luna...but I have a different question. I wanna port your borg ships to armada..and I know you said i could do what I want as long as credit is given...I have ported the Cube and sphere..and i used the texture to retexture the Transwarp Portal...But I need the ms3d for the Tactical Cube..as when i try to import the nif..it says too many chunks in nif. Do you have the original?
-
such things are meant for a PM, and not really relevant to this thread... ;)
-
Yeah you only need to PM me about that; I'll try to get you and some other guy those MS3Ds of the Borg ships - I sure hope that I can still find my Tactical Cube MS3D LOL.
-CR
-
This is looking great CR. Wish I had the modeling abilities that you have :).
Roger
-
Nice work. This is going to be one of the mods I'll download when it comes out.
-
The windows on the saucer look a little too squarish to me. I know the diagram with the latest Titan paperback suggests this, but that's a bit inconsistant with other Federation designs. Otherwise, this model looks great!
-
While I'm glad that someone is finally tackling the Titan, a few things seem off...maybe these views of a 3d model of the Titan(the model itself is probably far too poly-heavy for BC) will help.

Luna Class, huh? Looks a great deal like my Mithra Class, though my Mithra was obviously conceived after this. Maybe I'll make it a part of the Luna's future design lineage? Hmm... Anyways, I love this. A strong specular would be totally awesome, and would compliment her beautifully. :D She's a gorgeous ship, you ought to be proud.
-Aeries.
-
To clarify what I said earlier, I wasn't criticizing you CR, I was only offering up a little advice. As has been said, it's still a good looking model, especially since the Luna class has no representation in BC as of yet.
-
Not a bad start on my design. keep up the good work.

Nice to see you on the boards here at BCC Sean, It's Captain Elgy from the SCN forums here. I'm a big fan of your Titan design, congrats on your recently built 6" model for Star Trek: the tour, hopefully if the tour comes to the UK I'll get to see her for myself lol. 8)
-
Wow, the Titan's designer himself. Well CR, you can't get better approval for your work than from the man himself.
-
Here are some pictures of the U.S.S. Titan Model
that is on display in the Star Trek Tour That opens this
weekend.
In accordance with Mr. Rizzardi's wishes I am limited in
the amount of pics shown. Hopefully these will be enough
to wet you appetite to go see her in person.
I wish I could post more, but I don't want to offend Mr. Rizzardi.
These are some of my favorite out of the 193 pictures that he
Sent during the build.
Enjoy
Hopefully these will help in your build.

WOW! This is a treat beautiful model ya got there and welcome to BCC
-
Wow...Art Asylum should get that and produce a toy based on it! ;) Either that, or it should be a Christmas ornament.
-
U mean a Hallmark keepsake ornament. Hope it lights up at least
-
Not a bad start on my design. keep up the good work.
Many compliments on your beautiful design Sean.
Of all the submitted ships for the Luna class, yours' was not only by far the best IMHO but also the most canon.

Eww, you used the C word.
Looking pretty good. And it's always nice to have the model designer praising your work.
-
Nhopefully if the tour comes to the UK I'll get to see her for myself lol. 8)
:shock: :shock:You're in the UK? Where abouts?
And I agree, that is a great looking model.
-
great work on the textures.. they look spot on...
if i may... why not add detail to the windows? it would add to this ship greatly, and the specular maps peeps have been suggesting, a quality addition also.
great model.. i look forward to seeing the end release 8)
And im in the UK also... so if ya fancy going for a pint . . . and chatting about modelling, it would be a first for me lol :P (everyone is invited obviously :arms:)
-
Wow, BEAUTIFUL model!! :D Gives me a lot of inspiration for my Mithra!! *runs home with newfound inspiration*
-
Thanks for the compliments guys. It is nice to be here.
-
I also love the design... cannot wait to see it in BC!
-
Definitely a great design. At first, like most, I was skeptical, but after seeing her beautifully rendered I knew that I was seeing the ship that finally pulled Riker away from the Enterprise. And quite frankly, it's a better design than the one I came up with, mine was almost a direct rip-off of the Sovvie. :P
-
You lucky dog having the ship made into a model. the BC version is going to be hot.
-
nice! im also in the UK btw
-
I apologize to all of you for having not been around lately; I haven't been able to do any work on this ship for quite sometime due to school. I am doing very well in school and am advancing closer towards getting my doctorate, but at the cost of my inability to commit to any serious or time-consuming hobbies as of late.
And Sean, my model and textures probably do not fully match your model, as I did not have these when I made it, but I believe that they will be very close to your studio model - the main differences between mine and yours are my Sovereign-like textures, and the bottom of my ship towards the aft section along with the shuttle bay, which is a traditional "garage" style bay instead of the Sovereign-style dome that's on the Luna that I've seen in pictures.
There's still a plethora of work to be done on this ship, as I have only completed about 1/3 of the dorsal side of the saucer along with my large stardrive texture. Everything is on 2048x2048 textures with the exception of the registry information, which I will map to a 1024x1024 as with most SDT-type starships. I hope that I will get some more time to work on this ship soon.
Nice to hear from all of you.
-CR
-
Good to hear from you too CR.
Doctorate huh? Doctorate in what may I ask?
Very much look forward to this great ship... you're rendition is looking awesome so far.
-
Damn mean we have to call you Dr. instead of Captain? Shame :P lol. Good to hear from you Russell :). And I know how you feel about going to school. It's taking up some of my time with the Hawkeye Sovereign Pack I'm working on. But it'll all work out I'm sure :)
-
DoctorRussell....nope, just doesn't have the same ring. And we can't really call ya "Bones" cause that's taken... :P
-
Yo folks the rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated!
Liking the model CR can't wait to take her out of space dock in game, i had a go at modeling the Luna class at one point but decided it was far beyond my basic 3DM skills :P
Has anyone sort of drawn up a list of her basic hardpoints yet since Titan has one of the most advanced sensor nets in starfleet?
-
Hi there.
I just ran a search on BCC for one of my most-wanted ships, the Luna Class USS Titan, and found this thread.
Is this ship still in dry-dock? I really am looking forward to fly a Luna in BC since we've got one in our Star Trek RPG.
Hope you are planning on finishing this gem ;)

Since your new around these parts, i'll let you in on a little secret:
Modders generally don't like people bumping topics, simply for asking for an update. When/If the modder in question has an update to show us, he/she will update the topic themselves.
Welcome to BC Central :P
-
CR comes and goes here and there... when he has something to report, he'll post about it :)
alot of people are interested in this ship, but until CR has something to tell us, we'll all have to sit back and have patience... :)
-
Waiting is not something I do best, this ship is going to bee soo awesome, CR made a lot of HQ ships for BC, and this ship is an excelent addition for his Supermod series.

Then perhaps it's best that you exercise that value a little more? :]

As I said in another thread in the downloads section, I still have a lot of work to do for school for the next month, along with a lot of outside work at my job, but I should be freed up in the next few months. I also need to dump the hard drive of my old HP (or get it working again) so that I can get to the other textures for that ship (I have the models and one completed texture so nobody freak out).
I should also get back on MSN and catch up with a few people; it's been a while.
A lot of people also seem to be having balancing issues with the supermod 3.0 - I need to play this off my new Vista rig and see if it's as impossible as everyone is saying, because I blew through it dozens of times on my old XP rig with no balancing issues; as I've said before, the modification is designed to be like the series - really fast battles that end nasty really quick (though I know that there were some ridiculous Voyager episodes where an Intrepid-class would get hit by just about everything and still manage to fly away).

Well, I for one am looking forward to a high end Luna-class. Good luck with the rest of your schoolwork for the month! :D

And good to hear from you... been a while.
-
Yes, can't wait to see some updates on the Luna. good luck with your schoolwork...
-
Alllllllright, nice to see you around here!
As for balancing issues...
The two warbirds that attack when you exit the Vesuvi dust cloud... they kill me. Every time. I think perhaps you should tone them down a bit.

Eh? Wrong thread?
-
i think he is referring to BC Supermod...
anyway, im gonna put a temp lock on this thread for now so as to avoid it being spammed or dragged offtopic... it could be a few weeks until CR is ready to pick the Luna Class back up, at which time the thread can be reopened...
CR - please let me know whenever youd like your thread reopened, when you get to that point (after youre done with schoolwork and can rescue the Luna from your other HD); and then the thread can go from there... and it is good to see ya back around again! :)
