Now this is what I call:"From paper to reality"! I can see the stars, there behind! :love: :orion: Wonderful Captain B!

Most welcome!
You and Kenneth, really, you've got talent boys!

Sexy UV texturing with lightwave Captain B. Check the radiosity again when you change to the red left green right running lights.

UV texturing - I used to dread it, now I love it... :love: (thanks to Luke)

Do you mean check the box? Or double check on the radiosity...? Anyway, I forgot to change those light colors and had it in miind. Technically, those two lights should be enlarged. Canonically speaking, that is.

Just make sure the amount that the light is showing up on the hull next to the lamp still looks right once you change color. I think making it smaller helps give scale. They were that size on the old physical model based on the size of lights they could find back in the day. I think the radiosity check box in global illumination is only for luminous objects and not for lights. You used a light.

BTW, I'm feeling motivated to surface texture the freighter Fortunate. First have a couple of things to finish up.

Great work Captain! Do you also by any chance feel motivated to share this in the Facebook site? :love: :love: :love:

So do you mean the "Fortunate," or the "Grissom" (above) or both? No matter. I am not on Facebook, so someone else would have to do it for me. You may show them there if you like. I assume it is for keeping people updated on the progress of the BOTF II project.

I'm also going to paint and texture the Enterprise and Reliant and a few shuttles and workerbees.

This may help with your station Captain B.

Interesting. Am I seeing shipyard-like structures around the station as if they are used to build stations too?

The Grissom Oberth class has been scrutinized numerous times as to how the crew gets to the lower section. The pylons are too thin for a turbo-lift, given the size of the ship. For fun I envisioned a telescoping turbo-lift tube that rises from the bottom section and docks with the top, for those rare times the crew goes down to the lower section to get supplies and / or check on the fuel storage there. I think of it like an add-on storage compartment. They live and work in the upper section.

That Oberth is an FLS anyway. (Funny Looking Ship)

Here is an explanation from stogeek.com about that.
"The warp drive system, one of the most difficult parts of any starship to fabricate, sacrificed a large degree of speed and acceleration in return for simplicity and reliability. These factors enabled no less than eight Oberth class vessels to be built for the same resources as a single Constitution class starship. In service the Oberth's were just as easy to run as they were to build; the engineering plant was almost wholly automated, with the engineering hull unmanned in normal operation;17 the entire engineering crew consisted of one officer and four enlisted personnel, less than a tenth of the number normal for a vessel of this size."

Yes, I think the Federation is building a station at that worm hole. This must be lifted from a game of Supremacy. We should as for credit.

There's your answer up there Capt B, thanks to Kenneth! So, what I write down here then loses it's sense.
But..
If ever there should be a turbolift..,
To my opinion, it looks more like a piston of some kind than a turbolift. The idea is good but I believe it should be surrounded with panels to make it look more aesthetic. Or put it somewhere else...
They could also be using the end of the wings to move down and up. Let's imagine a turbolift moving sideways, or in an oblique movement, sort of 45° degree. In those days, all sides movements should have been (I should say 'will' be) made possible, and the thickness of the side wings panels would permit a stand up position. I guess the technology of that time should permit any fantasy. Or use Jeffry's tubes...for emergency :smile:

To say the truth, I preferred this empty middle part between the top and the bottom. To me it looks nicer.
My two cents...

I like it better empty too. The tube retracts into the lower hull and this is how it usually appears. The crew rarely goes down there. :cool:

It could be like in Harry Potter. You stand in a toilet, flush and next thing you know you are in the lower section.

Now why didn't I think of that! :romulan: The flushporter...

:mischief: Seems like it is better for going down than coming back up.

Anyway, I just had to try something that makes the lower and upper ship design feasible. Such a turbo-lift extension could have existed and we just never saw it.
