Very nice.  I should have yet another model up by tonite (local time GMT-6, USA).  Anyway, go ahead and surprise me on the heavy fighter.  I like surprises.

Yay! creative freedom, anyway the first paint job is only at about 5%, a friend of mine came over for a couple beers, and now it's time for me to go to bed (i have work in 10 hours), after work tomorrow i should be able to post the first paint job within a couple hours

All right, well let me know when the first ship is finished.  It doesn't need a shield mesh, i figured out those just recently.  have fun at work...and a beer sounds nice right bout now........

Due to my insomnia i've got the first paint job for the heavy fighter at about 50%. as for the first ship, the normal map is done, glows and shines will take a while since i havent done them before. I can give you the normal mapped version, i just have to export it (after removing the shield mesh) and hope it works after the conversion process.

Re: My new fighter (IN GAME!!! Textures nearly complete, help found)
Also to anyone else who reads this....i have a turret question for a mod i'm working on now.  The barrels stick straight up in modelview and pcs2.  How do i get them to lie down like them should?
There is a way to do it via a small bit of script work. Script gurus live here http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=145.0

@Twaysan
A glow map is just a black texture map. Anything painted on it doesn't get affected by lighting/shade which gives the appearance of glowing.

Due to slightly excessive drinking, this paint job took longer than originally planned...

Well, i must say you'll find no complaints here.  So how goes the other one?

Re: My new fighter (IN GAME!!! Textures nearly complete, help found)
the other ship? or the other paint job? the other ship's glows are annoying me, but im finally starting to grasp the concept... the texture is currently in about 7 pieces so i might want to pack it into one image. I'm toying with a third paint job for this fighter, but so far it's not anything noteworthy.

That's cool.  I'll tell you one thing tho, once you get the hang of glows and the like, you'll be beating mod teams off with a bat.

Re: My new fighter (IN GAME!!! Textures nearly complete, help found)
Hey, sorry I haven't updated anything in a while, I've been pretty busy as of late, and now I'm in Ohio, spending time with my uncle and grandmother. When I get any downtime I'll work on updates, but for the next couple weeks they'll come few and far between. The good news is that on the 9 hour flight from Frankfurt Intl to Chicago O'hare I figured out a way to become more efficient, the results of which will be seen in my next update. Last but certainly not least, I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping out with a mod Idea I've been thinking about. It's basically a Sol system mod from the early days of space combat, before jump nodes, shields, vasudans, any of that. I've actually put together a couple basic models designed to look like they were flown in the late 21st - early 22nd century.

I don't mind.  Let me know when you want to start.  I am still learning my modeling skills :P

Sorry this one took so long, It's only in the basic coloring phase, but it's an update so you know I'm still alive:

Re: My new fighter (IN GAME!!! Textures nearly complete, help found)
This new one is actually a single texture, and will be repackage-able soon, the first ship's texture is in many pieces and will take a while to merge together before it's ready to upload

Re: My new fighter (IN GAME!!! Textures nearly complete, help found)
thats cool, my computer decided to take a crap this week.  Needed a new HDD and everything.  So i've lost pretty much everything.  As it stands, i have to start over on both my ships as well as redownload the data files for the mod i'm working on.  I sincerely hope i don't burn through another HDD.

Re: My new fighter (IN GAME!!! Textures nearly complete, help found)
Next week I begin the process of upgrading my laptop (new HDD, more RAM, new video card, new case) so I'm gonna have to begin backing up crucial data. Since the last update I posted I've almost finished a new model for my mod. I fly to Minnesota tomorrow evening, and I'm not sure if I'll have internet access where I'm staying, so I may disappear for a while. Minnesota is pretty boring so I should have more time to work on texturing while I'm there.
