Section 31 Scarlet Class ENT ERA
« on: September 09, 2009, 11:19:44 AM »
Hi everyone,

MarkyD and Cyandie both agreed in the art forum that I should now post this ship here, I want to make this in BC but will need help converting and that.

The "Scarlet" was commissioned in 2147.  Starfleet rejected the design as a long range explorer under guidance from the Vulcan Advisory Committee in 2145. However, Admiral Luther Sloan of Earth Intelligence saw this ship as a necessity and was granted funding through the government to build one of these vessels. The ship was never publicly announced and because of the secrecy against the wishes of the Vulcan Advisory Committee, it remained a state secret.
 
Earths first long-range vessel with a length of 180m and a top speed of warp 4.1 It was advanced for its time. The Scarlet was fitted with 2 forward type 3 phase cannons which were extremely experimental and also with 1 x spatial torpedo aft launcher. It also came equipped with a duranium hull; again this technology was extremely advanced and experimental.

The ship had a secondary hull design that incorporated a "deflector" that protects the ship from space dust and other particles that would otherwise cause significant damage at faster-than-light speeds.

Because of the importance of the Earth / Vulcan alliance this ship created an organisation in order to fund and man it, this organisation was only known as "Section 31!?

some wip's so far..

I like the design...
but... I hate to be all "you need to change this, this, and this. *pushes up taped glasses*", however, I think that since it's a single nacelle, it should be double sized, since it's only one doing the work of two.

^I blame the Kelvin for that opinion.

Anyway, I still like the design, always love an ENT styled ship, hope to see more designs from you Zephram.

if you could pull it off i could see you getting away with 3 maps, one for the dorsal saucer, one for the ventral, and one for the nacelle, pylons, engineering section and the "extras"

Yes, I could make the maps less to be honest, and i may modify the mapping for 3 x maps.

I have started the saucer section, but still need to add in port holes to the section already textured, there will not be many. Also I have not started on specular maps yet but will be including these to finish the Scarlet off  :)

Also

The U.S.S Cloak is the next S31 ENT era ship I will be creating using the scarlet as a base, this will have 2 nacelles, for those that are not a fan of singular necelle design.

The textures look kind of cartooney...doesn't the NX style ships have aztecing on the hull?

yea they do

your best bet would be to download the NX pack and look at the azteching on the ship, its not embarrasing, trust me, i did it with my galaxy refit and the results from the inspiration were better than i anticipated
dont get me wrong, tho, the textures you have right now look pretty good, and i see what your trying to go for, but i have to agree with dalek, they DO look cartooney. if your working in photoshop, mess around with some of the filters to make more realistic paneling, like the armor plating on my arsenal class is simply grey boxes with accented edges, than i applied a light film grain over it, and finished it off with the plastic wrap.
experiment some to find what looks good to you, you can be amazed at what those filters can put out if layered right :)

as for your specs. dont worry bout those till your 100% happy with the main textures

They do look a little cartooney, but that will be helped when the aztecs and speculars are in, either way this is how i do my textures but thanks.

The design grows on you.  Any chance we could get a view of the underside of the ship?
