Could have accidentally bumped a key without realizing it while the cursor was there.  I do that all the damn time.

Re: My own little tribute to the line of the battlestars
I have been playing around a bit more with this.  I have been trying to do a better texture job (you don't want to see the results).  But I am working on a more GTVA style one as well.  More of a replacement to the Colie.  Big scary and lots of guns.  Anyone want to help with the textures yet?

Re: My own little tribute to the line of the battlestars
Have you tried existing sources? (particularly BSG oriented ones).

Also when you texture (from my noob non-texturing POV) don't worry about the actualy texture. Worry more abou tplacement, how you envision it looking. In these spots is tiled hull, that a bridge window of some sort, and then later make the textures fit.

Since I run into that all the time I adapted.

Taking a texture and rotating it or cropping a section of it can often make a stop-gap texture that does what you want it to do in the meantime.

BTW great job!

Note taken.  I'll keep trying.  but you should know that as a male...  I have a greater understanding of the opposite sex more than I understand texturing.

Re: My own little tribute to the line of the battlestars
Truth be told.  I am having can't seem to apply more than one tiled texture in truespace 5.2, and I don't have any other mapping program at my disposal.  What is simple to use yet still relatively free that I can use to apply textures?

LithUnwrap?  I honestly don't know if that does what you need but I believe it was useful at one point in time around here.
