Things look great on the interior.

She is coming out very nicely so far.

She's looking really good.

At last, all the textures are now finished!

All the basics, details and windows are all textured in - and I'm definately happy with the results. My time is being spent, now, putting alphas in and converting to TGAs.
Have a look at some pictures of it:

Was there a release date for this or still in working progress? BTW This is the best Spacedock inside and out.

Oh! oh! Can I do it?!

Awesome Space Dock Unknown. I think I'll finally be swapping out this one for yours once it's released.

HOLY KAJIGGERS! That's incredible! I'm in awe of the specular work!

Nebula · « **Reply #675 on:** February 25, 2011, 05:40:46 PM »

This is simply stunning O.O

Argh, you beat me to it

. But seriously, it shouldn't be too long before it's released as there's just the matter of getting it running in BC, the model's in NIF format now, so it could just be weeks away.

Well, thy will be done - here's some pictures (NFX doen't show up the specs as well as Blender does, I think):

Darkthunder · « **Reply #678 on:** February 26, 2011, 04:53:22 PM »

You might not have the speculars active. If your textures are named according to BC standards (i.e _glow on the diffuse maps), then all specular maps in NanoFX Model Viewer would have to be named _glow_spec to appear properly. I've often recommended to people porting ships/stations to the viewer, to remove the _glow suffix in the filenames, as it most often causes problems.

In short: A NanoFX-ified station will require that you rename the textures so that they don't have _glow in the filenames. For the rest, these are the required file-suffixes:

_spec = speculars
_norm / _normal = normal/bump maps

Station still looks great, but I think you might be currently seeing the viewer default "speculars", and not the model-specific specs.

EDIT: In your second image, it appears to be a straight line running straight through the mushroom-section of the station. The line covers the slanted "roof" area, all the way down to the edge of the mushroom. On the lefthand side of the image, near the blue windows. Unwelded vertices possibly, or NanoFX issue?

I notice in these pictures the lights on the lower sphere look a bit bigger than the rest and it throws it off just a little bit.
I recommend smaller and more of them maintain the sense of size.
