Do you have MSN? If so, add me (address is on my profile). I also have AIM, but I don't use it as much. While I have moved to Max 9 now, I can probably still help with Milkshape ;).

With all due respect, i was impatient to help you to become a better artist and more confident.


as for you issue, you need to research how to Uv map in Milkshape.

[FekLeyr Targ]

In wich way do you want to help me? As I said ANY help will be apreciated.

[JimmyB76]

any updates? remember to post frequent (but not too frequent) updates, so you can get feedback!

as others have said this earlier, never ask for updates ok?  and, updates will be posted when they are ready, at the author's discretion...  please do not tell others how often they should post...


anyway, back ontopic...

Update: More Textures have been applied. (I'm actually not satisfied with the sphere)

[Glenn]

Keep at it mate, it's getting better with every update!!  8)

Thanks.

edit: Update: Main Body fully Textured and stretched Textures fixed.

[rengers]

very nice work you have done so far, keep it up!

[FekLeyr Targ]

About 4 months have passed since the last update. Time for a new one.
What do you think about the scaling?
PS: I didn't change the textures.

The ship looks good, as for the ship knocking out power to other vessels, I would use a modified version of the Engine overload to make it reach out farther.

I'm planning to do something similar. But it's a good idea.
I'll ask USS Sovereign to make a modifed version, but I doubt that he has time for it and I don't think he would give permission to someone else to do so.

Bad news. My external HDD has been destroyed. The Whale Probe model has been lost. And I don't know if I'll rebuild it from scratch.

[Lionus]

Damn.. Sorry to hear that. What happened?

[FekLeyr Targ]

The casing of my external HDD caused too much heat and overheated the HDD. My P Expert told me that this has happened to many of this customers. So he told me, and I'm going to tell you that, too: Always use a 3.5" SATA + IDE BOX with FAN if you want to prevent overheating of your External HDD. (And no, this isn't supposed to be advertisement)
And back up your work, photos etc on DVDs.

@Lionus: Thanks for your consolation. Btw: Send my regards to Prince Trakath, ok

[Lionus]

Prince Trakath? ummm.. who is he?

[King Class Scout]

Lionus: probably another character from the Icon your using.

Fek: he wouldn't have gotten the refrence, I think.  oh, you needed a whole new set of colours on that thing (Probe)  from what I remember the rod was more or less Black Marble, and the sensor ball had large blue veins in it.  book cannon says that Doomsday was actually the prototype of Probe by the same species, so a similar skin to doomsday would have worked.

[FekLeyr Targ]

Prince Trakath? ummm.. who is he?

@Lionus: Prince Thrakhath nar Kiranka is the guy on your user picture (he's a Kilrathi). He appears in the PC-Games "Wing Commander 2: Vengeance of the Kilrathi" and "Wing Commander 3: The Heart of the Tiger" (Malcolm McDowell appears in it) (this is also not supposed to be advertisement)

Since he's on your picture, I've assumed that you play Wing Commander and know him.

@King Class Scout: Thanks.
