Desperately Need Help with:

* SKINS/LIVERIES FOR VARIANTS OF VARIOUS SHIPS (or let's implement a "coat of arms" subunit)

* ANY SMALL SHIP YOU FEEL LIKE DOING EXCEPT THE DRAGON

* CUSTOM SMALL CAPSHIP FOR RIVAL STORYLINE

* CUSTOM FIGHTER FOR RIVAL STORYLINE

* CUSTOM SMALL CAPSHIP FOR THE PLAYER (Scarab II?)

* KILRATHI CIVILIAN CRAFT

* STAR BASES

* IN-BASE DOCKING SCREENS!!!! Also good for capships.
Kilrathi strippers yay!

* TEXTURES FOR THE VINDICATOR, DURANGO AND SORTHAK


Stuff that I would rather not put in:

* Dragon

* Behemoth / Sivar / Any of the one-off ships

* Custard pie launchers

* Too much Neph stuff, this is 2669 -- a little is good to put on the
far kilrathi border

* Privateer II stuff, unless we decide that your rival works for what will eventually become the Kindred. However, most of the ships look nice, so if anyone has models...

* WC3 kilrathi capships as they look nothing like the other stuff, seriously

Code: Select all

Sounds great! There's hardly anything I can help you with, but I know that texturing is in high demand, so I'm willing to give it a try, what would you like done?

[chuck_starchaser]

Allright, I got a texture generation program installed, called Planet Genesis, though it could be used for anything.
Between that, paint and Gimp I can probably make snazzy ship textures.
But from what I've seen, ship textures have to have a shape that wraps onto the ship; I'm not sure how that's done.

[spiritplumber]

Ships that need textures: Just about any really A couple are downright screwed up:

Sorthak
Vindicator
Durango

[Halleck]

The layout of the texture depends on how the modeller assigned UV coordinates. Some mappings "wrap" textures around a model, while others do simple projection.

If it's just a simple pattern texture though, I don't think it will make much difference.

[mkruer]

Halleck if, if you are up to it i can add you to the Model Trust, and you can play texture consistancy manager, just dont let Brad get you down, hes a perfectionist

[Halleck]

Model trust?

Err... what does that entail?

Just so you know, here are some highly accurate samples of my skill in texturing:

EDIT: Hey look, I'm a venturer!

[chuck_starchaser]

How come nobody though of wood textures for ships before?

[Halleck]

Lol, gimp has a wood brush. What can I say?

[mkruer]

How come nobody though of wood textures for ships before?

Rip off of Tenchi Muyo Juri ships i guess

[chuck_starchaser]

Cobble-stones would look nice on cap-ships...
