babylon 5 mod WIP (BIG PICTURES)

No, Crusade being axed had nothing to do with Trek. I don't believe UPN and TNT are owned by the same guys. See my previous post for the reason Crusade was canceled.

Eh. There's a lot of Trek I don't like. But don't write off post-TNG completely. There was some REALLY good DS9. I don't mean 'oh, that was a really cool battle'... i mean 'wow, that episode had fantastic acting and writing'.

*sigh*... a Babylon 5 mod would be so cool.

ok guys, what's your feeling about this baby?

peteyg · Post by **peteyg** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 5:34 pm

I think the texture is too bright. It could be a bit more faded... metallic... flawed. You know?

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 5:36 pm

I know, but when yoiu load it in vs, it becomes rellay dark, that's why I did it like that

peteyg · Post by **peteyg** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 5:39 pm

Oh, okay.

Carry on then! : )

When done Right the First time there is no reason to redo it

Everyone should take notes by this example. only 1962 polygons. On the High side, but well worth it.

Pontiac did the export, how can I say, it's really a nice ship, I think a nova will come soon, not to let this ship alone

Smooth!

957 polys, the EAS triton:

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Mon Aug 11, 2003 12:46 am

I'm looking for story writers, pleeaaase!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can do something like a ship each 2 days, but as far as I'm working on some other models for rilix, and I hope I will finish my race for 0.5, I really need help

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Tue Aug 12, 2003 10:02 pm

1205 polys

peteyg · Post by **peteyg** » Tue Aug 12, 2003 10:04 pm

It could use some more colorization. Like blue trim, dark grey areas, and such.

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Tue Aug 12, 2003 10:06 pm

and for the people who think I "found" my meshes on the web I should send some models, they were designed for gaming, with basic shapes and details layers

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Wed Aug 13, 2003 5:04 pm

and the b5 station, 1976 polygons. I don't know how can I texture such a monster, even a 4096*4096 look really awful in a close view, I think this one won't go in game before I find a nice idea, maybe loading it in many parts, I don't really know, it's far from the max ship size loadable in vs. The problem is that the main part is a single tube, mapped with a cylindrical map:

peteyg · Post by **peteyg** » Wed Aug 13, 2003 5:50 pm

Maybe cut the cylinder in half, then duplicate and flip it?

I did a similar technique (but with very small slices) for a starbase in the trek mod. It looks okay, except for the god-awful seams which show up very easily in Vega Strike. yeck.

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Wed Aug 13, 2003 6:31 pm

I will try your way, I think, with 1024*1024 maps

FlyingAce · Post by **FlyingAce** » Wed Aug 13, 2003 9:32 pm

you can fix the seams by bridging the two faces that make up the edges.
