I definitely like what I'm seeing so far.

[AndrewofDoom]

So, the king of all lolicons Droid803 has handed the new Tethys for me to texture. I've been working on and off on it for a while. Here's what I have so far. You may want to note that most of the middle to the rear of the ship isn't really complete.

[Rodo]

so... is there a way to activate the texture view? I'm kinda lost here.

[AndrewofDoom]

If you're probably having the problem I am, go to the shader selection on the middle left of the screen and select Shadeless underneath it.

[Rodo]

Ahh, now I see.

The texture looks well on track. I like the selection of colors there, nice blue/grey combo.

[SypheDMar]

I see textures on both the top and the shadeless section. However, the textures look much better shadeless because the shaded one is too shiny and too metallic. I'm gonna assume the shaded one is not gonna be in-game.

That renderer is completely different from the one FSO uses (not to mention not very good overall).

[Droid803]

The Shaded version has all the smoothgroups missing or something, I guess it borked during conversion.

meanwhile, I've been working on the pre-refit version that doesn't have the heavy armor or artillery-type weapons (and is a carrier-type ship), figured to go a bit more closely with the original for this.

[Dragon]

Will it have working bay doors? Also, what's inside the frontal armor?

[Droid803]

Nothing, just a flat deck as a launch catapult, pretty much.

[MatthTheGeek]

This one might actually make a good pre-refit Narayana for the BP universe, ironically.

[An4ximandros]

You'd probably have to change the engine block and rotators to the original Nara's though since the refit was to change it from "heavy" Frigate to "Artillery" Frigate.

On a topical remark, ship's looking well.

That'd be an interesting twist.

[Aesaar]

How'd I miss this?  That thing brilliant.  It still feels like a Narayana, but you've put your own twist on it and it just plain works.  Well done.

Shameful creature! How can you not see this? I mean this is right below the BP board!

It sure won't be textured to fit in with what the UEF has though.

Though, I think I'm pretty much done now with the block 2.

[mobcdmoc3]

The blue adds a really nice touch to it.

[MatthTheGeek]

Why did you put windows on armor plates I don't even.

[An4ximandros]

Because the aggressor destroyer had them (The cannons were built into a "block" of the hull) on this new model it looks strange because there's no "Hull" for the crew quarters to be, and gives the impression that the crew must be made of dwarfs or those guns are multi-kilometers in length.

I know.  I don't know what to say. *hangs head in shame*

Actually, I'm thinking it looks more like a GTVA-ified version of the Narayana design. Heavier Armor, less bits sticking out, that kind of stuff.

Must. Stop. Making up Canon....
