Originally made in mid 2008 by limey98, i have decided to completely redo the textures on the Equinox as my texturing skills have improved + I've got more reference pics than when I first attempted it.

The saucer is almost complete, just got a few things to finish off. Thanks to lurok I was able to make a screenshot of his Nova Bridge from the top view to make the bridge dome more realistc ;)

Anyways here's some comparison pics between version 1 and 2.

Cheers

Holy cow! That looks fantastic! Will we get an updated clean version as well as the battle damaged one for the Delta Quadrant Pack?

Had some more time to do more on the Nova.

Pics below & hopefully a bit more feedback than my last post considering the amount of viewings the pics had.

What more can I say than that is a definite improvement.

Looks great. Question: is the hull color really suppost to be so brown-greyish?

Considering that there are no speculars applied as of yet, i'd say the texturing looks spot-on so far.

Amazing work and to my surprise the colouring on version 2 is correct, wheras V1 Colour would have been used on the rhode island. The only reason the spine of the ship looks like v1 in the tv show is actually because of the massive glow coming from the warp nacelles. so u r spot on jb grats !!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's because I haven't changed them yet

They're from the V1 , i'll get round to them eventually.

That explains it. Looking forward to the completed version!

Groovy! I like where you're going with this. Something I would do if I were making this: on the hull plating lines, give the impression that there is depth there. A darker stripe down the center of each line, and a blur. That will show that there is a curve down to the center of the line, fooling the eye into thinking there is depth where there actually is none.

EDIT: Also, a subtle but perceptible set of "plate" backgrounds would do nicely. Something that would sit underneath the more visible aspects and give them depth. Then, when you do speculars, you can "raise" certain areas by making them a bit brighter or duller than their surrounding "plates".

Are you going the texture the afformentioned glow from the warp engines onto the spine of the ship? She looks crisp! However, compared to the V1, she seems to lack texture, are you planning to underlay a hull plating pattern in the specular, or is there an aztec in the works?

Right the clean and damaged versions of the Nova are complete. I did add a slight texture to the hull, similar to Voyager's as I want to keep this one canon.

Here's the pics

Enjoy
