Hello again,
I have not been here for a while, but whilst playing SFCII OP I got a drive to build this..
A Centaur class reimagined.. To say its how I would have done it. I amhappy with the model so I am going to start work on the textures now.
-
Very nice, it almost has a refit feel to it. :)
-
Nice to see a new take on a great looking ship! :D
-
Looks good. :thumbsup:
-
Thanks Nick...
ok thanks to GotAFarmYet, on Dynaverse, Torpy is in place, in a dual formation. The structure underneath, is the main shuttle housing. Somewhat like the Capt yacht, but not just for him. Fighters and shuttles come out the rear, but the bottom houses a bigger diplomatic craft, suitable for it's needs.

An interesting take on a canon design. I look forward to seeing how you texture it. Given that the Centaur was in use during 2370s, perhaps a texture-style pushing it up towards 2390s-2400s ?
-
lol, awesome ship, good job :thumbsup: Im waiting to see her in action in game :P
-
nice
-
Good job
-
Here is where I am at with the textures. I would like a plated look, so it looks tough :evil:
suggestons welcome
-
Nice work mate :thumbsup: Looks clean, look forward to seeing your texture job :)
-
Looks like your on the right track. Take your time with the texturing, and make sure you cram as much detailing as possible into them. Many people either model in too many details when texturing can suffice, or they end up making textures with very few details. The plated look suits this design. Keep up the good work.

Nice job! :thumbsup: though I think this ship deserves it's own class name don't you think? The naccelles alone are shouting that out. She seems to have more of a TNG feel to her design rather than that named from an older TMP class. Either way looking forward to seeing how this looks when she's done, keep up the great work. :)

The TOS Constitution Class was upgraded to it's TMP appearance, without having a class name change (officially) :)

Suddenly, your avatar makes so much sense. :funny j/k

A very nice upgrade look for the Centaur class. Looks like it would make a nice Post Dominion war refit for the class. Glad to see someone do it.
I would only suggest that you sleek up the engines a bit, they look a bit boxy on the ends to me for the design, Elongate the bussards maybe, more like the bussards on the Ambassador, If you get what I mean. Like I said, just a suggestion. :)
Besides that, everything looks great to me so far, love it. :thumbsup:
-
I agree, the nacceles need to be refined, otherwise I like it
*cookied*
-
wow i like her :bow:
how do you do it all my ships look mediocre to say the least and as for your textures... how do you do them? i cant even do that lol
awesome!
love the new centaur :bow:

The key is smoothing, Alot of bc's best ships look horrible when unsmoothed. In gmax, you select everything, then use the auto-smooth feature at a value around 23.1 or so. Basically just keep messing with that value until you get it the way you want.
-
actually i use smoothing groups allows for some finesse.... i guess i will just have to persevere and practice
by the way: COOOOOKIE to you :D
-
Engines look fine to me. I say wait till the textures are done and then determine whether or not they need altering. If it's one thing I've learned the hard way from personal experience, is that it's not always easy to understand or see what the creator has in mind until the texture phase is done. What may look out of place or just wrong actually work in the end when textures are done.

Interesting. Someone needed to redo the Centaur. The original was one ugly critter.

you never seen Wiley's Centaur?

I think he was referring to the design of the ship overall.
