Title: Livestream tutorials- Registries on Sat May 7 (see time)
Post by: WileyCoyote on May 04, 2011, 06:25:15 PM
I have said to many people that this summer I will be doing some more Livestream tutorials. I would like to know what people would want to see. I do not plan on doing more whole-ship builds- it would rather be sections, and bits of modeling. For the tutorials, I now use Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, and 3ds Max 2010.

How to make Ship Registries- TOS, TMP, TNG

***Saturday May 7th, 6pm Central-Time*** Completed
http://www.livestream.com/wileycoyote?t=428435

My list so far:
UV mapping--
TOS Constitution from last tutorial

Texturing (eras?)
Aztec
TNG Texture

Creating correct registries- visual version of existing tutorial

Specific modeling---
Galaxy Class Secondary Hull
Sovereign/Prometheus nacelle
Sovereign-style secondary hull
Prometheus Saucer

Any other ideas? Once I have a good list, I can make myself a schedule of tutorials to do weekly (depending on my work schedule).

Would love to see a tutorial on how to build a Galaxy Class secondary hull or Galaxy-like secondary hull, and a Sovereign or Sovereign-like warp engine.  :-)

Speaking of tutorials, how goes it on that new ship design you were working on? The "Achilles" refit-type ship?

I was going to re-map it. I have also updated my WIP list on Page 1 in my WIP thread.

yes please  :D
while i know a bit about scripting, i have less-than-noob skills with modeling, let alone creating custom registries for a ship...
i have tried (for years) valiantly to follow the current tutorials for creating ship registries, but it always is a mess for me...   :doh:
i always have to resort to begging a modder to do so for me for my own install for my own ships...
even if creating a new ship registry upon one on a ship that is already there, if at all possible :)

question (might be a stupid one lol) - will these tuts be recorded, so people who arent available when they are live?
if so, they will be very effective in the Tutorials forum here...

They will be recorded live and able to be viewed after recording is finished.

Yeah that is the way I do them but the first method looks like it could be more crisp?

I'll try both as soon as I'm done with some exams but indeed, the first method seems to be slower but leaves better effect
