A quick update on my texturing efforts on the Icarus. I'm sort of a bit lost with it to be honest but here is where I am with it at the moment. C&C and any tips are always welcome (please!!)

can barely keep up with this thread - had a lot to go thru after a weekend away from a pc heh.

i think its looking great, if a little bland.

Well that particular render was an even lighting render so there's no specular. I've been working on getting some decent spec and it's proving incredibly difficult to get it just right, I think I'm getting there though. I'll post updates when I have something better.

Oh well...back to texturing then

Really, they have? Then does anyone want a version of their ship on my carrier? It would be nice to see more then the 304's and 303's that I have on it right now even though scootes ship is cool. Oh and I need some type of class name for my carrier. I've looked through some Canadian ship class names and so far I've noticed they all start with HMCS, so any ideas anyone?

[scorpius]

Well my 2 suggestions are either Majestic or Colossus, 2 classes of aircraft carrier that the Canadian military has used. Personally I think, due to the size and function of the ship, Colossus seems to fit the best.

Here's an update on my texturing efforts. I think I'm getting closer to "good" looking, but I want to try and increase the contrast and spec areas. Just thought I'd post for opinions anyway

EDIT: While I'm thinking about it, if anybody would like their own ships to be featured in the joint project in some way please reply here or send me a PM. I'm trying to outline the basic scene now and I want to make a list of ships at our disposal to refer to while we go through the writing process. So anybody who wants ships to be featured if you could let me know the name of the ship or ships and it's purpose (auxilliary craft, cruiser, carrier etc). Any other information you want to include would be useful and an image of the ship for reference purposes as well would help a lot.

Looks great scorpius. I guess I'll have Colossus as the name of the first ship but I was thinking along the lines of what the Daedalus class is known as BC-304(well some say this). Thats basically what I want first, then I'll think of the name it self which will probably be Colossus unless I find another synonym for that word. Also about my ship, I have added another access way for ships to enter and leave the hanger area below the bridges on the main deck. And are there any suggestions on my turret design or what? Oh and thanks for the help so far as well(well for what was actually given but),thank-you.

I can't work out exactly what it is i'm doing wrong, the surfaces it's appearing on are single square polygons not two triangle poly's making a square.

What do i do to remove this? is it, as i am beginning to suspect, just a vertice problem or is it a bigger problem?

move the verticies that i have circled down on the "z" axis, that should solve your problem

and scorp to be honest with you. I havnt been home to retrieve the latest file for the Hammond for you althou I believe that you already have an older version of it. if I am right the only things that would be differnt from the latest version is the main hull and the con tower. I will be home on wendsday night will retrieve it then for you.

and nice work on that ship boberth. am liking the guns you put on the sides i can see that this ship is progressing quite nicely

Angelus. you are also progressing nicely good job on your ship

Regards Jesh

It's ok mate I was only joking anyway lol. There's no rush I'm enjoying working on the JSP (Joint Stargate Project) at the moment and (sort of) enjoying working on the texturing of the Icarus.

And speaking of the Icarus I do have an update. It's scary but I'm actually getting close to finishing it I think! Today I added some beam cannons and some point defense turrets. Currently all I need to do is play around with the hangar doors and also the secondary hangar on the top platform used for other auxilliary craft as I'm not sure about the size (has anybody got a scale ortho of the Daedalus with a Jumper?). Anyway, C&C as always!
