Oh wow, I absolutely love the mollusk-like bio-look. And the colors work with it too. Could this work for a Rlaan base?

I was just joking :P Of course, suggestions are always good, but you made it sound like you tried to place the ship somewhere ;D

Its still an excellent base. I think it should go in right away. It would look wonderful and mix up the current bases a little bit.

Its a great idea. Is it ready Fendorin?

Beautifull

I think that with other textures it could be a tlaan base, however it fits shapers very well too.

Are there officially approved graphics/artwork/heraldry for the various factions? When I looked in the obvious places, like the Wiki section on the factions, I found nothing.

absolutely awesome. the only thing i can think to add would be docking rings/ports somewere. are they supposed to be at the end of the spike type bowl things? i think at least one or two docking rings maybe for small ships would fit well inside the giant hole area thing?

I just ask cuz for being a luxury-city-station thing parking looks to be a nightmare. lol. But then parking it cities is supposed to be a nightmare isn't it?

mmmmhhhhhh


i thought the docking point ( because is a game not a reality) should be just in a central point between the hole .

is not a station for very big unit

A bio adaptation/spa/relax center needn't a huge terminal

for exemple at the moment Paris (my city) is full of tourist and you haven't a bulk terminal for ULCC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ULCC)

because is not a purpose of this city...........
i m not living in Rotterdam......

also for the bio mod adaptation (shaper) station =no utility to have a big docking point just one point could be fine( is a game not a reality)

The model went into the svn data set with 1449.2 m diameter (scale factor 80). This seems rather small when approaching with the Llama.

Unfortunately, i have completely overlooked the canon name and instead of naming the unit "Shaper_Bio_Adaptation", I have named it "Flower_Station" in the first commit. The renaming was done immediately and should be no issue as hopefully nobody was that fast to have the station in their saved system files.

Also added the station landing background.

cooooollll!!! the first place for have a rest and massage (DNA massage maybe.....)

well it's great

i hope i can see soon but i never heard units converter write the master-part-list...

another thing : i tryed to convert the Mk32 (i finish all placement and shield i miss the dmg map ): but how i can crab the position of the marker in unit converter this step is totally under shadow, in fact for the moment and with my level of english i could understood just the setting (config) it's already a great walk for humanity (sorry for me..)

and is not possible to have a button for browse all marker (and other like shield mesh) i place and choose the one i want? (maybe is to much asking no?)

thank

hello i rework the Shaper station clean the mesh and remove some bad triangle around the landing area
in my Game version this station appear with the normal inside. then i did the Chuck trick (ctrl+[n]) used for the uln station.

And yes in game is little bit small Station maybe it will be better to increase the size by 100% (the stage/level/floor/ building seems to be a student-flat)

DivShare File - Shaper_bio_stationV2.blend

the texture are already in masters svn then just the mesh ( "artisticly speaking" i prefer use the shield-sphere default mesh for this station)

missed the spec texture and Ao ( no repetitive mesh on this models) the tex map is 4096widht. i can't bake it (need one week maybe)( i already can't work on it with Ps!!)

For Radiosity i have a question : could it possible to use the Glow map for set the source of light and not select a surface mesh?

Then @Chuck : if you want use it for testing or for PU, WC, Vegatrek or what ou want is free .


Edit: i think this Thread should be moove in content Developement sector. (i don't know if i can, anyway i don't know how)

OK. I can update the mesh, no issue.
As for the size, the station is already 1.5km in diameter. It is indeed very strange that it seems to be so tiny.
With the current shaders you do not require the AO texture.
I don't seem to be able move this thread to another forum.

Thanks, loki. Seems I have not been adventurous enough to dig that deep. :(
