Title: Permission to come aboard???
Post by: coolguyli27 on February 22, 2008, 10:45:49 PM
After the events of the past day or so I have decided that I shall due dual releases of most of my stuff for Legacy and BC....To be honest the only reason I never released any of my stuff for BC was that I forgot how to mod BC...But after a long night of reading posts,experimentation and a few brain clusters sparking back to life it think it will be possible....My stuff isn't the greatest but my skills are improving...So with that said I hope you guys don't mind if I pop in now and then to ask some n00b questions if I get stuck....

Starforce if you are still willing to help let me know...I have 15 or so ships currently ready to get converted with a few others in various stages of construction....

I have started with The U.S.S. Sentinel...

I will take as many as I can, but the main problem is their ms3d formatt and disecting which parts I need to keep on the meshes and which I need to deleted. I hope someone here can help you improve your ships because while your models are decent desgins and fairly detailed, you're textured are very bland, and your ships would be 100% better if you just keep doing what you're doing with better textures.

On a side note, if you could provide the models with the extra legacy stuff (damage and such) removed it'd be easier. Also, I know people who can release for sfc if you'd like me to turn over the ships to them as well.

Thanks Starforce...I know I need to work on my texturing  :D but also remember that the stuff I sent you is almost 10 months old...some of the stuff i did some updating to when I joined the Ultimate Universe Mod....And If I'm going to Re-release this stuff for BC I plan to do some further Updating to some of my older stuff...

I have already begun doing some model alterations..IE removing stuff that pertains to legacy.
That is actually an easy thing because I save The model at diffrent points of construction..and since i create the Logo meshes and Damage mesh last i should have 3dmax files somewhere without them...Just got to find them  :D...

I am currently working on some TOS era Cardassians that I was going to release soon and will be part of the next U.U. release..I like to think of them as TOS versions of the Galor and Kelden...like putting a Constitution next to a Sov..when I get a chance I will send you some modified files and you can see what you can do with them...

You've got some interesting stuff here. I agree with Starforce that the only thing you really need are better textures... otherwise, this is pretty good stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing these in BC.
