Who wants some battlestar stuff?
« on: January 09, 2009, 01:17:46 PM »
Just playing around with some of Coxxon's models, as well as my own.

If anyone would like to have these MAX files in order to convert to BC, let me know :-). (btw, i use Max9-32). I can provide Diffuse, Spec, Illumination, and Bump maps, plus basically any other map you might need.


A sister ship to the peg.

A sister ship to the bucket.

A Star Wars dreadnought converted for BSG usage as a Strikestar.

anyone interested?

I have a 38k versino of the BSG that i retextured, but I think that it might be too heavy for the game.

Right now I'm working on a low poly of a ship designed by a member of SciFiMeshes. The Erebus

It'd definately be worth releasing that as well!

What's the maximum texture resolution you guys tend to work with? I tend to have the Battlestars at 4096, Medium-Sized ships (like the Manticore) at 2048 and the smallest ships (I haven't posted some others) at 1024.

most people use 1024, i think 2048 is acceptable as well.

2048 is becoming a norm among some of the [in my own opinion, not necessarily shared by everyone...] best mods. I'd *love* to see the 38k models released; it'd be about time we got some fresh, new BSG content for BC. :)

Terran Battlecruiser from Starcraft reslated into BSG duty.

Still needs some details.

Ever thought of turning wz's orion pirate vessel (the christmas one) into a bsg destroyer?
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

I have considered doing a retexture of WZ's orion ship, but I want to finish his Chrysaor retexture, and then I want to convert his "Spanish Castle Magic" over to BSG duty, then I'll see about the orion ship.

Btw, folks, I've hit a snag. I've got some detailing work done on the Hecatoncles, but I'm looking for ideas of what to do on the hammerhead. Suggestions are welcome.

I'm trying, but I want to do something more solid for the top, bottom, and front without letting it be all empty.

Polycount = 5,307
Tricount = 9,719 (this is prolly what you want).

I'm looking to replace the cannons on the wings and on the spine. This may cut down poly count some. Still looking to add some details, so I'll see where it takes me.
