DJ Galaxy Class Now Available @ BCFiles

[NanoByte]

Thanx for the warm welcome guys.  It's possible.......... I do have the SNS Galaxy etched into my head so I'm not used to seeing the variant Season 3+ Model.

The perspective may be off too... depending on the aspect ratio of the renderer in his screenshots, it could be making it appear off to me.  Hard to say... 

OK OK... I just looked at some Season 3 Screens and it is quite a bit different... DJ you are doing a great job on it so far!

Sorry I can be a little anal with the Galaxy, only because it's my favorite ship

HAHA, Nano you've been here less than 24 hours and got more cookies than posts

[DJ Curtis]

In terms of the actual shape, I built the ship precisely to the schematics found in the ST:TNG technical manual, so it should be fairly accurate in that regard.  If the secondary hull's too thin, it's by a hair.  But I think I know what you mean, it's very different from the SNS.

HAHA, Nano you've been here less than 24 hours and got more cookies than posts

because Nano is a legend as far as BC is concerned

[DJ Curtis]

The man's collecting cookies faster than a frat boy collects std's.

[NanoByte]

LMAO.... mmmm cookies good....  STD's bad....

Holy do I feel like a noob... what are the cookies for on this forum and how do you give them??

Anyways... so I don't get off topic and banned in this thread, I have the TNG Technical Manual, but it's been years since I've looked at, but the more I look at the pics you've posted DJ, you are pretty close!

If by a hair you mean because of the big thick lines they used for the outline in the schematics.... I could see how that might happen!

I don't think I realized the shape differences between the Season one Galaxy and Season 3.  I just thought it was a smaller version, yet more detailed (that's what they said at least)

[lint]

i thought the same,
I have TNG Enterprise D blueprints, and in the little booklet that comes with it they go into deep detail about designing the Ent D, down the the phaser strips, and out of the 3 models they built the only difference was minor details like escape pods etc, and the actual physical size of all 3,
But DJ's still looks awesome, none the less

[DJ Curtis]

there were definite differences.  the 4ft model had raised panels, a different deflector, shape changes to the neckm and the spine was different.  the color also became greyish hues rather than green and blue.  Also, the secondary hull was a bit narrower and taller.  Overall, the ship just had a more staunch look to it.  Oh yeah, and the port nacelle was pointed a bit down, but i took some artistic license and fixed that. lol

no worries - you have to have a certain amount of posts (200 i think?) before you are able to give cookies to people...  so hurry up and get posting
*runs*

But be sure to not delete your cookies! Then you have to start all over.

Thanks Judge King for the ship names!

I thought the galaxy class crew compliment was 1,025?

[Darkthunder]

In 2366 the Enterprise-D had a crew compliment of 1,014 (officers, crewmembers and family members). I'm sure the number varies depending on the amount of family members on board the ship. And if i'm not mistaken, in the "Yesterdays Enterprise" episode, Tasha mentioned the ship was capable of transporting at least 6,000 troops. So we know the Galaxy class can hold alot of people

Back on topic mee-sa thinks.

[DJ Curtis]

I've got the ST:TNG tech manual.  I know everything there is to know about a Galaxy Class starship. lol

[cordanilus]

Hey DJ...I was wondering about page 128.  Is the Saucer Module launcher going to be there?, and where does it go exactly since there's no side view from what I can see.

Is there a way you can make that bumpmap part of the texture.  Like fake-bump-mapping.  I think it would be awesome, even if it's just for me.  That's my only request.

[DJ Curtis]

The saucer module will have the aft torpedo launcher when it separates.

I'm gonna see about the bump mapping.  Fake bump mapping usually looks like hell, if you ask me, but I'll see.

Your both wrong...  :spartasanta:

The Enterprise-D had a crew complement of 1,014 personnel.

I'm gonna see about the bump mapping.

Just give the word DJ!!

[NanoByte]

Don't fret, we'll have real bump maps in NanoFX GE!

[DJ Curtis]

which will be great for taking pix, no doubt.

[cordanilus]

Hey cool, I can give cookie's now.  Turns out, it's 250 posts before you can give cookies.
DJ, you're getting my first cookie.  Now, It took me a while to bake them so you better enjoy it, lol.
I think we're going to make you nice and plump so you can't go anywhere

Ok, enough spamming.

Fake bump mapping usually looks like hell, if you ask me, but I'll see.

I'm hoping that the texture size will make it viewable.  I figure smaller size textures may obscure the look.
I'm just looking to make an awesome video here.
