TOS/TAS Shuttles

Zoxesyr · July 14th, 2001, 11:04 PM

I am looking for a TOS shuttle, and TAS Aquashuttle and Heavy Shuttle. I only need the outside of the shuttles, not the interiors.

I have heard people talking about them, but I haven't found the files yet. I want to use them in a scene I am putting together.

The only place I can find a TOS shuttle is on 3dCafe, and it is pretty low quality.

I apologize if this is not the right place to post this question.

I have a TOS shuttle, LW format.

thomas7g has the aqua shuttle, Max format.

TAS Aquashuttle has a proportion error. If you look carefully at the animation and compare it to the galileo you will notice that the crew compartment on the aquashuttle is bigger than the galileo's. But the cabin area is only about a third of the width of the Aqua shuttles fuselage. This thing should be HUGE next to the galileo.

If you take the proportions of the Galileo to the hangerbay as canon, than the Aqua shuttle should take up the whole dang hanger, IF it fits!

I have Max, but I have a plug in to load LW files.

I know about the aquashuttle size problem. I remember that there was a scale problem with the TAS Enterprise. There are a couple of shuttle bay scenes that show an aquashuttle just a little larger than the galileo, but the interior shots show the aquashuttle to be much larger.

Also the TAS shuttle bay clearly shows it holding 5-7 shuttles with a lot of room left over, but the TOS shuttle bay couldn't possibly have that much room.

Maybe it has an experimental dimentional module stolen from the Tardis...

Where do I find these meshes?

Darrellhas mine. You are welcome to use it

Zoxesyr · July 20th, 2001, 04:09 PM

O.k. forgive me for being a little dense, but I am a newbie on this board. Is there a place that I go to HTTP or FTP the meshes? Or does someone post them here, as an attachment to a message?

I will need a little hand holding to get through this...

I'll have to upload them for you.

Zoxesyr · July 20th, 2001, 04:17 PM

Thank you WDL! When they are uploaded, tell me what to do!

Zoxesyr · August 18th, 2001, 11:52 PM

Did I do something or say something wrong? I wasn't expecting total silence for a month.

Darrell Lawrence · August 19th, 2001, 01:13 PM

No. Sorry. It's called getting sidetracked then the server going whacky, etc. I'll get it uploaded. Promise.

Old thread bump.

Any chance you're going to upload those shuttles any time soon?

I noticed you re-posted a while back to keep this thread alive, so I'm assuming you have plans to do this. The only reason I'm asking is because I used to have a TOS shuttle that I made but it got lost when my old hard drive died and I haven't made a new one yet.

Darrell Lawrence · April 25th, 2006, 10:58 PM

Yeah, I bumped this to remind myself about making my shuttle available after I tweak it.

I also am going to release MY version of the aqua shuttle. Not gonna deal with Toms.

evil_genius_180 · April 25th, 2006, 11:07 PM

You'll be my hero if you do this. The aquashuttle was one of the best vessels from TAS. You haven't by chance done the grain ships from More Tribbles, More Troubles, have you?

Darrell Lawrence · April 25th, 2006, 11:18 PM

Yes, I have the cargo ship as well as the Bonaventure (which was THE best thing out of TAS!)

The Bonaventure is already available in the Downloads

evil_genius_180 · April 25th, 2006, 11:23 PM

I know. I already downloade the Bonaventure. I just haven't downloaded the texture pack yet. I agree that it is indeed the best, but the cargo ships and the aquashuttle were up there too.

I created my own version of the freighter, based on the (now known to be spurious) Independence blueprints.

I'd love to have a more accurate version of the Huron, and I never got around to creating my own aquashuttle.
