Title: TOS Re-imagined Part 1: Romulan Bird-of-Prey
Post by: blaXXer on May 07, 2008, 11:51:44 AM
After a fairly long time something from me, A TOS Roulan BoP, textured ENT-style ;)
Currently standing at 5022 polies and shaping up very nicely texture-wise :)

Now, for the pics:

Only thing that seems kinda weird is the Nemesis-style Bird-of-Prey emblem(although I think it's cooler than the others lol).  Still, looks much more realistic.  Good job!

Well, Shadowknight1 if I am not entirely mistaken, this was the very same romulan emblem that showed up in the ENT two-parter 'The Aenar'. If it didn't, meh it looks much cooler anyways ;)

Currently texturing the fin and the front torpedo launchers aswell as the back exhaust post...

LOVE IT!  The bird on the underside looks fantastic.  Did you draw it or find a good shot?

Will you animate the bussards?

Incredible work Blaxxer, love the model and textures especially the giant bird of prey on the ships underside (which is very accurate to the original).  :)

Great job, good to see you modding for BC again!!.  8)

I don't think so, because then I'd have to remap the entire nacelles or include several 2048x2048px textures ;)
Title: Re: Romulan Bird-of-Prey ENT-Style...
Post by: Aeries on May 07, 2008, 04:44:40 PM
Aww man! And i thought animated bussards were in style these days. :P Awh well. Nice work, though, BlaXXer! very nice, indeed. :)

I'm not exactly sure about this, but I don't remember the bussards on Rom BoP's being animated :-??

It looks very Early Romlan, what do you need hardpointed, there are several good one here, by no means am I the best, but I will offer my service. :assimilate :hide
Title: Re: Romulan Bird-of-Prey ENT-Style...HARDPOINTER WANTED!!!
Post by: blaXXer on May 08, 2008, 08:35:53 AM
okay, uploading the RAR file right now. It contains two meshes, one for BC use and one for Legacy use (with normal maps). prospective hardpointers can contact me via PM to sort things out ;) But, no resizing of the maps and no editing them (conversion to other filetypes is, of course, permitted) ;)

Finally, a decent Romulan BoP. Okay, so the textures arn't based on the TOS BoP, but in my opinion, its the models that count. And this one looks pretty awesome.
Title: Re: Romulan Bird-of-Prey ENT-Style...HARDPOINTER WANTED!!!
Post by: blaXXer on May 08, 2008, 09:12:41 AM
Oh they're based upon it alright, just as DS9 was based upon TOS ;)

I myself am not the best, but I've done a few here and there for personal use. I'd be glad to give it a shot, but I'm not all that sure I could make it up to standard.  :?

Post by: Shadowknight1 on May 08, 2008, 01:39:47 PM
Gorgeous.  Absolutely gorgeous.  Looks more Romulan than the actual bird-of-prey.  I want!  Too bad I can't HP. :p

Where?
I see nothing for download, well

did you want a shuttle launch plug-in [if so it needs a new shuttle] that would be very nice[ a new shuttle]

Post by: blaXXer on May 08, 2008, 01:55:33 PM
Yeah well, I'll make it available via PM, once I got a hold of a hardpointer. Can't have everybody running around with my birdy, right? ;)
