No problem, I'm glad to be able to help

Snazzy ship you have there. Good work.

Bones · « **Reply #103 on:** March 23, 2008, 03:30:17 PM »

Here's a pic of the ship in-game without errors at last

now I have only wait for phasers from Lint and improve HP so this ship is going to be released preety soon (if there will be no complications ;) )

I'm thinking about making warp grills lit more blue rather than sky blue...

Nice, i'm loving those naccelles.

Aeries · « **Reply #105 on:** March 23, 2008, 04:32:38 PM »

The post-nemesis sovvy had some very nice warp grilles. maybe take a peak there for comparison. ;)

Actually since post-nem sovvy is my mod why shouldn't I use warp grills from it ? :lol: excellent idea

Is it just me, or does it look like the smoothing has been screwed up somewhere along the way at least around the dorsal saucer?

Aeries · « **Reply #109 on:** March 23, 2008, 07:36:25 PM »

Hmm... yeah, you might be right...

I'm pretty sure the models always been like that. Wickedzombie has some great designs but his early meshes had quite a bit of smoothing errors that are visible in BC.

Bones · « **Reply #111 on:** March 24, 2008, 05:50:50 AM »

Yeah I was also bothered by these smoothing errors but how can I fix it ??? is it possible to fix it with milkshape ?

Aeries · « **Reply #112 on:** March 24, 2008, 12:56:34 PM »

Get somebody with Max to fix it?

Edit: Or attempt to, anyways?

Bones · « **Reply #113 on:** March 24, 2008, 04:35:43 PM »

Huh so much for messing with model by myself I guess

I've finished bottom saucer and added thrusters also I've redid textures on nacelles especially platings, warp grills and bussards. HP has been tested in game and it's working except for phasers on saucer which fires through it (ventral phaser is working as dorsal and vice versa :S ) I'll post some ingame shots tomorrow, hopefully with modeled phasers strips ;)
for now have some ms3d shots

p.s. I will be making ID_maps for this one so I'll release it as a pack of some ships, post some names for these, let's say 5 names

Looks great bones, the only thing i recommend is to tone down the opacity of the highlight and shadow on the escape pods and sensor array, maybe also decrease the structue size down to about 2/3, other than that, its looks awesome.

The Sorcerer is hardly one of his early meshes. More than likely the smoothing error occured during the porting process. It tends to happen.

Why don't you release it in two versions?

With the nacelles you designed first and the Sovy-like.

Please...there are still some TMP fans over here......

Yeah this ship was meant to have slight fake bump maping but I've abandoned this idea so yeah they'll be decreased

Thanks for cookie !

This ship was released in TMP version by Wicked Zombie some time ago, I just replaced nacelles and textures to fit this ship into ST NEM era mainly because there is no excelsior refit in such era ;)
