The ships we can get permission for, the ships we have time to build and what we would really like to see in the game.... Other than that never explain a joke. It will only get you in more trouble.

You can do better but here is what is in the Klingon Starbase II folder for now.





Sorry

I like it, is it based on a model seen on screen? What programs do you use btw?

It takes three programs for me to do this.
MilkShape: I paid for this one online. It builds the mesh but is not good for applying textures
Ultimate Unwrap 3D: It does OK applying the texture. I may be able to get you a copy if you need one.
GIMP 2.2: It is a free download to build textures.

A lot of the models are converted downloads from sits like this.
http://www.battleclinic.com/docks/dock. ... 0&r=pirate

We need to check the readme files for permission on downloads. Using these models helped me build up a library of texture items that can be reused
on other ships.

Here is an outline on mesh 3D programs that Skeeter put together.

I can not recall seeing a Klingon Starbase in other than games so felt free to make it up on my own. The bases in BOTF were very low poly. It made them
look very odd to me.

Great stuff Ken!

More good news. Models Please is back. In honor of his safe return I will work up a list of Major race ships and bases that still need work.
Work on that list means putting my work on the Cardassian Starbase II (DS9) on hold for now.

Welcome back to the collective MP ....

Cool, the pace of things is picking up

Major Race Ships and bases no yet under construction - as far as I know:
(This list does not include models needing texture, reworking or replacement. It does not include the minor races.
Refer to the Shiplist for the class name that goes with the ship type.)

Borg:
Completed (well not really a major race as such but it still feels good to say completed.)

Cardassian:
( Jigalypuff is building all the Cardassian ships while some others are working on stations and bases for the cards)

Colonyship I
Colonyship II
Colonyship III
Cruiser I
Cruiser II
Cruiser III

Destroyer IV
Science Station
Transport I

Romulan:

Destroyer I

Somewhere on sharepoint should be .rar file with all original Botf meshes in 3ds... maybe they can help you!

Thanks and I will find that again. (as soon as it comes back online.)

? Comes back online, Kenneth? Has there been problems with Sharepoint? It's working at the moment...

If there are any problems let Mike know about them. I had trouble logging on a few weeks ago, but I haven't noticed any problems with error messages or the like...

@ MOE: Very now and then SharePoint will be down for a few minutes.

@ Zeleni: Thanks again. Most of the old BOTF stuff is very low poly but with a little work we could adapt it.



Like bashing new nacelles onto an old Romulan ship to make a medical frigate. It will take some more work to finish but
that will come.

hm, I accidentally stepped over a nice trek model for the oberth while requesting permission to use another artist's work for our new content, here it is: http://www.mattwood3d.com/downloads/index.htm resp. http://mattwood3d.com/gallery/STI2.htm. Can we use that one?

and here's the message I got from him today:

Fireball has already made a BEAUTIFUL model of the Oberth - he made it quite a while ago actually. If the files aren't on sharepoint, send him a PM or email. I'll kill him if he hasn't still got it.

We have this one on SharePoint. The one above looks great. Why not kill Fireball anyway.

We also have the Cardassian outpost II

and an old BOTF transport

Great Tranport Ken!!

I hate you Zeleni

Regards Wolfe

ps On a side note how boring is it going to be now with no England in the Euros, someone like Greece will win again and nobody will really care

The Greek might care

(no offence meant Wolfe )

DS9 -



You can't play Star Trek without one. It still needs a lot of work but it is taking shape. (Thanks to Zeleni for finding the model used in the TV series - helps a lot)

awesome!

hey ken, did you say you could get me a copy of ultimate unwrap? I just tried out the demo and it rocks!

Send me your email address in a PM. There are online tutorials.

I got this Vulcan ship off SharePoint for a quick peek, but I think the textures are slightly too red, lol.



Edit: So I rehued the textures...


now looking much better

Thats cool, finally someone is taking care about our poor textures! I have lots o minor ships which need new texturing. Could you do some?

Dido, Please


Also this is for the Romulan Shipyard II (until someone comes along and fixes it)

Sure I can do some, the art part is quite fun, its a nice break from coding.

:O you're churning out models every day, and they look pretty good!

Great job Ken, but Ultimate Unwrap can t do proper job when comes to rendering, so we can t see full beauty of your models. You can download Max Studio 7 Trial just for rendeing

LOL
I can't believe I went and made this. If I could just do the same effects in XNA...

I'm gonna play with the rest of the Vulcans ships now

Excellent!!

Here is our Minor Ship Database (so you can see what we need): http://www.botf2.com/Shared%20Documents ... tabase.xls

Can you render ship in this position? 270x225 and fully transparent like this?

Looks nice. It would be nice to make a video for the game once we have the combat engine.
