Post by: DragonClaw on August 12, 2002, 09:41:54 am: Wow... great detail...

And this is in FS Modding because??? It looks a bit too high poly to be put into FS imo.
Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: tomcat on August 12, 2002, 09:49:51 am: it is a FS2 model...and has just 1494 polygons ...
Title: Narn Battleship off the Port Bow!
Post by: Star Dragon on August 12, 2002, 10:02:39 am: Lock all weapons, prepare to fire.

Eh? What's that? They left spacedock without a tractor beam!? ROTFL.

Let them go for now, but tell them to come back on Tuesday for their but-kicking... ;)

Seriously GREAT job on that model, from that angle looks good! But is it ready for DL yet? The Alliance is making it way to Zhadum so if the Narn want a piece of the action come aboard!

I ripped a lot of stuff out of the demo VP (Earth Minbari war) did you know they have all the planets and icons in there for the whole project? I even used the Shadows Nebula (blown up 5 times) as the background we warp into... COOL...

Screenshots of the latest raid against the shivans (er I mean shadows) will be posted when I figure out how... Never done it before sorry!

BTW Tomcat I have in Lightwave format I think The Shadow BattleCrab, Scout Ship and Fighter. Also yes The White Star!!!!

Can you (or anyone else seeing this) use/convert them to FS2???
Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: tomcat on August 12, 2002, 10:15:39 am: we could have them converted ..but we found that is better to make the entire ship from start

Its slated for Release 3 unfortunately. But the good news is that with a major ship like this already done for Release 3 and others in testing....and a small list of ships to do....it will take less time to get out.

Post by: IPAndrews on August 15, 2002, 03:03:00 am: Yes, I was kind of expecting more of a reaction when I posted those screen shots. I'll post a couple more. Maybe that'll wake them up.

Another great pic of the G'Quan

Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: StratComm on August 15, 2002, 07:32:32 am: I like the new muzzel glows as much as anything else. I did notice the screens, but seeing how few of those ships are really visable, I didn't say anything.

Post by: Star Dragon on August 15, 2002, 07:47:37 pm: 1 on 1 SDF-1 "owns" Minbari... :(

Tonight we will see if the Borg "owns" SDF-1!
Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: IceFire on August 15, 2002, 08:31:20 pm: MMM....SDF-1 vs Shadow Death cloud :D
Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: KARMA on August 15, 2002, 08:57:22 pm: but the last pics refers to the engines of the same ship?
(and i can hardly believe its only 1500 polys, untriangulized i presume)
btw what you mean when you say that the textures are 100% hand made?
that you draw them by hand and the used a scanner????
in case...:eek: :eek: :eek: my compliments(well compliments anyway:))
Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: tomcat on August 16, 2002, 01:36:13 am: Yes ..triangles used only where absoluttly needed..and textures are DRAW in photoshop 5.5

Yes, where can I get those glows from? And how was the beam rendered?
Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: IceFire on August 16, 2002, 09:10:45 am: The beam is rendered in FS2 using a couple of shades of red beams that I made from scratch. The glow is also a custom creation with some assistance from that shareware Sun making software...umm forget the name.

Not made with MAX, then. Shame.
Title: BattleStars & more
Post by: Star Dragon on August 19, 2002, 01:53:41 am: A simulation was held to see what would happen if 7 Borg cubes and 3 Spheres attacked MSF Xanadu (Mobile Space Fortress). They were engaged by 6 BattleStars, The SDF-1, The Xanthus Class Carrier (modified with a Macross cannon), and one wing each of X-wings, Star Furies, Vipers, and Veritechs. One Nike Cruiser (The Glory) joined in. Screenshots at:

Ian check out the shots of the Battlestars, I'm blocking the bay so no one can launch :lol:

IP- HOLY s**t!! GIMMY!!
Title: SDF-1 Pics
Post by: Star Dragon on August 22, 2002, 11:02:27 am: you got it! How many do you need? From different angles I presume?

The ship was done by the RT mod team. BTW a proposed look for the transformed SDF-1 is on either my WANTED page or MISC. It is combining like 8 Orions and some cruisers, it actually looks cool!!!
Title: Narn Rulez
Post by: Anaz on August 22, 2002, 06:12:42 pm: yeah, good pics from different angles would be very good. I think I might be able to do the transformed too. I read all of the books, and I want the mod to do them justice...
