Retextures of Coxxon's BSG Models - Scifi-Meshes.com

I was sick a few days ago, and in my semi-delerious state, I decided to play with the textures for Coxxon's BSG models.
I discovered that within the JPEGs the vectors paths are left intact, so I made use of them.
My basic thinking for the Galactica and the Pegasus is this: The older mk II vipers had a white and red theme, while the older galactica had a gunblue thing going. the newer Mark VII vipers had the gunblue thing goin, while the newer Pegasus had a white and red theme. I thought this a little flip-flopped, so I reversed it. ^_^

The other thing that could be done is this:

Reverse the scheme from the other direction. Just for kicks.

Have pity on the Rusted mkII

WOW!!! The different Viper textures are especially awesome.

I discovered the same thing doing work for the BSG HW2 team, but I only used it for better glow and spec maps.

If you can snag Coxxon's permission, I'd love to see these retextures released. Perhaps new schemes for the Civvy liners besides just the little blimps, like the Cloud 9 and Spacepark, if they're still intact?

It can be tricky given the psychotic amount of overlaid maps on some models, but AO bakes can do some nice things for the models too.

Funnily enough, the white and red Viper Mk VII was done by the Hasbro guys on their Titanium line of diecast toys. Black Mk II's with blue stripes, as well.

I really like the look of Galactica with the Blue and White color scheme. Part of me wants to see how the Pegasus would look with the same colors. Nice work and if you have orthos of the Galactica with the new colors I would love to see them.

ooooh, that's sweet. I'd like to see the textures released.

So do I, it looks great.

The mark VII with the retro-texture actually looks quite fitting, well done!

I'd like to see more ships get this treatment, very, very nice stuff.
