Title: How to make an Original Connie look like the Kelvin with GIMP
Post by: Dalek on November 28, 2008, 02:21:14 PM

Heres a nutty little project I want to do. Make an orignal series Connie look like the Kelvin from the new filum. What I've discovered:

The Kelvin has a dirty look to it on the edges of the plating.
Theres a lot of "raised" plating.

Of course, I'm a GIMP user (why oh why does Adobe have to be so expensive??!!) and I do believe it is capable of creating effects like those above.

So, task is:
1) Make a TOS connie look like the Kelvin.
2) Not screw up

This is just a little project but if I find that it is possible as a mod, then I will start a WIP in the Modding thread. So, advice?

It would be easier to just build a new ship instead of chooping verious images of a connie together so that it looks like the kelvin. but hey, what do I know? I'm just a professional graphics artist :P
