Woah so sexy

There will be a layer of faces over top of an area

I read that so wrong. >.<  I need to go to bed.

  Sexy. I really like it. We need pinups of sexy Earth chicks. No Vasudan "babes".

Well what I'm planning to have it work the same way as any other nameplate being used. There will be a layer of faces over top of an area and by default it'll be a transparent texture. Anyone can make their own nameplate and use texture replacement in FRED to add it in.

Okay, that's perfect. Keep up the good work.

I swear there was one like that on the original Nike.

Yeah, there was... but ugly

I sense a mod project I must embark on...

Ok, I'm pretty much done with the model.




And the model file in wings, obj and 3ds file formats so anyone can mess around with it (and maybe UV map + texture?  )

Of course if no one else does, I may do it... one day. But don't count on that being anytime soon...

[Jadehawk]

If I can get a UV map of it and a POF file, I'll give it a spin texture wise and I promise NOT to use any of the Shivan textures I created that plenty seems to not like with my Ravana re-texture! 

Honestly I would love to texture this one. 

[Galemp]

Well, we trust you, Jadehawk. Looking forward to it.

Bump before it slides off into page 2 

[Stormkeeper]

So the model just needs a UV Map and a texture?

Yeah...

Easier said than done.

Here's hoping the turret positions for the fancy big guns aren't aimed in odd directions... lol XD

I'm so glad we have Jadehawk around. It seems like textures are amongst the hardest things to get.

Thanks for the complements!  I just love making something look nice and sometimes not so nice is you see my Ravana thread   
It's an extension of something I somewhat I do for a living the past 20 plus odd years. But this time, it's for a hobby I love to do so I get a good bang out of this stuff. I just hope someday I too can make some 3D modeling because I do got plenty of ideas for ship designs.

One of my goals is to make a Destroyer that has fighter-bomber bays you can really use for taking off and landing and even a transport bay for small cargo and larger support ships to land in. When you start a mission, you will come out the "launch" area of the fighter-bomber bay that's somewhat like Battlestar Galactica has. When I mean launch, I really do mean you get launched like you do on a US Carrier and hope to gather some fellas willing to create such an effect for fighter and bomber ship launching.

As for landing, you will pilot your craft into the receiving end of the fighter-bomber bay, land  and even park it in a stall before your mission is over. So anyway, I'll quit blabbing off.

Necroing this somewhat, but just noticed this lovely thing

IMO you should leave those front plates as they are, and then in texture itself have the painting there, as it was on the original. Tridimensionally speaking it should look interesting having that huge painting "broken"

[Axem]

An even zanier idea would be to have the plates actually open/close up due to some trigger.
