Nobody cares bout the ency biddy Valiant

More textures added....some refinement done....still workin them

I see no pics. I assume something is broken. :)

However, I'm sure it's up to your usual extremely high standards, as always.

Alrighty then………….. this looks like the last update for a few days as I have an ass of homework to do for school
I am about 98% complete with the textures to the top portion but have some minor tweaking to do. Plus I am waiting to be in contact with Nico to sort out a few errors and adjustments
Relax concerning the colors I will sort them out soon…..these are just some w-n-p images NOT the final ship

So then any suggestions other than saturation?

Very well then the updated image...

By the way YES I also hate the blue color and need to adjust this to taste


PROX it must be your system they look fine to me on 3 different computers/internet connections?

Looking damned good so far...

Who Dat?

I have fine tuned the textures to this point. I need to adjust the registry to taste and most likely place the NCC-76809 under the USS Valiant...see it?

Do you think I should change the NCC to NX?

Any suggestions? I am perty happy to this point

Unless you're actually having it as an experimental ship, just leave it as ncc. :) Looks good. :D

Outstanding job! I'd go with NX on the registry if it is to be a competitve design against the Defiant.

Okay I turned off the shadows so you can see the textures better
I have fined tuned the textures to taste....re-adjusted the registry settings (no colors added yet) so I am complete to this point

Sweet! Alright after a slight setback a huge leap forward! I am complete to this point with the exception of the actual registry colors. Just the masks are complete [the blue is so I can see how they look]

Yeah I think I am going to have to re-do all my previous meshes with this new most excellent Nico taught way to texture

A few words on the lights. Developed better efeects? I would say a learning process but the light dome is a light blue the textures are actually grey

Thoughts?

What's with the blue markings on that?

The two above images.....

Are you refering to the blue registry color vs black? I am currently working on the placement of the registry and strips thus the color [not actual colors placed yet]

Or are you refering to the blue-gray light kicker I am using?

I think he was referring to the brilliant-blue registry - I wondered why the colors were so extreme for a while, too, until you explained it above. :)

Alrighty then

I started the pre-liminary run on the wing nacelles [Not to too happy with them as of yet] I am considering re-doing some of the stripes
I just noticed I am missing a most crucial peice of missing detail and am unable to locate it [the rear phaser array] should not take me long to replace

Another freaking setback and I know for a fact the solution is simple

I have a item visible on the left and right the plane looks great on one side yet backwards on the other and unable to correct

HELP

Managed to fix it then?
