Title: SNS Galaxy Class - Update 1st May
Post by: Jb06 on April 24, 2009, 11:51:12 AM
Just one thing i worked on last week when i was bored. Completely new textures for the SNS Galaxy. Still waiting for permission off scotchy, but i'd thought I show you all anyways ;) It's a bit of a hybrid in terms of season wise & the look of the textures, but all in all, it doesn't look too bad :P

Anyways opinions welcomed :D

thanks

in the future - please establish full permissions before making a new thread...
if he denies permission (which i doubt he will do) then this thread is pointless...

thx :)

@JB06

the original is great, but you have done it so much justice in the retexture, awsome job, cookie !!

simply fantastic work...I doubt that Scotchy will deny permission..I got permission to port the Galaxy over to Armada...so a simple retexture should be approved of LOL

WOW that is one mighty fine reskin. It almost looks bumpmapped. Some very clever specular usage here.

It almost looks bumpmapped.

Thats because the textures themselves have been bumpmapped. Unfortunately, BC cannot support model bump maps. :(

I'm still not quite convinced by the colour of the deflector. The blue seems to washed out and the actual deflector array looks a bit dark.

But seeing the back end of that Galaxy gets me excited big time. :)

Hm well, I think the biggest change is the windows. not that blue anymore. the aztec pattern stands out much better and is now darker gray. nice.

looking great but I still prefer the original SNS one over any other released Galaxy class.

Gorgeous, the hull is lovely. I think the bussards and the deflector need a little work, but aside from that, she's a real looker!

imo the bussards are a little too red, apart from that, nice work!

Edit:

Just noticed that the escape pods are grey aswell. might want to fix that.

They're supposed to be.

Post by: JamesTiberiusKirk on May 01, 2009, 11:36:43 AM
they do look like part of the hull plating, but still like escape pods, couldnt you just brush them away with the clone stamp?
Title: Re: SNS Galaxy Class
Post by: Jb06 on May 01, 2009, 11:59:34 AM
Clone stamps a no no a very messy tool. I was thinking of making them a little more browner, but again i'll see what it looks like.

Reason the bussards were bright was because i forgot to do a alpha for them, so they were just white. All fixed now

I believe the point Jimmy was trying to make, is that it's always prudent to ask permissions BEFORE starting the work, and making a thread about it. If the permission gets denied, then what happens is that you've built up a bunch of anticipation of a project which ultimately will never be released.
Title: Re: SNS Galaxy Class
Post by: SilentCD on September 23, 2009, 10:08:35 PM
I anticipate the bigger change is the windows. not that dejected anymore. the aztec arrangement stands out abundant bigger and is now darker gray.
