No, it's pretty good. The lighting is a bit messy and some of the textures just look... wrong.

Post by: Artimus on March 06, 2001, 02:36:00 pm: The proportions look right, but the lower wing textures need help. The lower nose texture needs major help.

That ain't right.

Is this the model for the B5 MOD?

And anyway... just a quick render with more or less correct textures:

Dude, a tip for you - check out the actual page of The Babylon Project ("http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/babylon/") and look under the Model Status ("http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/babylon/status.shtml") page. Happy? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Post by: Artimus on March 09, 2001, 07:00:00 pm: Actually, is Whitestar, or WhiteStar, or White Star...

The secong one looks much better. Can you render it any larger by any chance?

Well what's the BlueStar that's two items below the WhiteStar on theTBP Model page ("http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/babylon/status.shtml"), hmm? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: Jabu on March 10, 2001, 09:03:00 am: I couldn't find any info in English about it, but here's a pic anyway:
(http://gamma.nic.fi/~mpetays/b5/bluestar_lg.jpg)

It was only seen in the very last episode. It's a personal transport, much smaller than a Whitestar, pilotable by one person. It has a jumpdrive, which is a big thing for a ship that size.

It doesn't even have an official name, but as it looks like a Whitestar, and it's blue, so it's been dubbed "Bluestar" (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

[B5 stupidity]
So if that thing is for one pilot - how big is a WhiteStar?

Post by: Jabu on March 10, 2001, 06:31:00 pm: A Whitestar is either 470 or 270 meters long. The official info is 470m, so that's a pretty good bet. But it's been calculated to be 270m.

A Bluestar is much smaller.

Post by: Fineus on March 11, 2001, 03:27:00 am: It would be nice of there were a few more lights on it... the texture looks kinda- plain compared to others...
