This is my first ever SFC model from total scratch. Usually I just do kitbashes, but I've been practicing with 3D Max and I've started making some of Raven's Conceptual ships from the Nightsoft website. This WIP is not finished yet, it still lacks a bunch of little details, but it's coming along so nicely I thought I would share it with you.

As soon as I finish it and get Raven's approval, I'll do an SFC3 conversion.

Sweeeeeeet!

'nuff said!

SPQR Renegade001 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 30, 2003, 02:35:29 pm »

WOW!

This ship has some serious potential. Talk about looking EVIL.

Any chance of an alternate Rommie skin? This would make an awsome replacement for that K9R were blessed with.

Nice to see someone take a crack at one of mine again

Great Job so far man!!!

Captain Ron · « **Reply #4 on:** June 30, 2003, 06:54:57 pm »

It is a very good looking ship so far. The textures you apply to it can make or break most though

James Formo · « **Reply #5 on:** June 30, 2003, 08:20:27 pm »

Good design and mesh. Seeing so many new ships coming out or wip is giving me an itch to make one from scratch. Though I am more of a basher myself. Just takes me way too long from scratch.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #6 on:** June 30, 2003, 09:04:54 pm »

Alright! About time we see another non-Federation design on these forums.

I can't wait to see her textured.

Qapla!

Hello Raven Night,

Impeccable work,
Just outstanding!!

This Klingon starship is shaping up nicely indeed,
Way to go eh,

Take care,

GeneralWolfe

Well m8... Isn't it finished already

j/k I'm just anxious. I feel like will smith in some movie i don't recall anymore (don't even remember if it was a comment about a ride) "I've got to get me one of these!"

ps.: Sorry for any errors with the quote

Marauth · « **Reply #12 on:** July 06, 2003, 06:05:33 pm »

I think it's the alien ship in Independence Day, may be wrong though.

On topic the ship looks great though I'd expend a few more polys making the command hull thingy more rounded, it looks like a diamond at the mo', also the 'bulb' on the underside of the command hull is in the same boat, a few more polygons wont hurt.

Love the sec hull esp those fins that stick out forwards and the nacelles, very nice dude.

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #14 on:** July 07, 2003, 01:47:06 am »

I might need some help with the textures on this one if anyone wants to volunteer...

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2003, 06:51:03 am »

I could help with the textures,

as long as you make a Rom battlecriuser next

Reverend · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2003, 08:19:06 am »

agreed with the Romulan request- I sure fancied a lot of those designs on the Nightsoft concepts there, especially the Romulan and even the Klingon ones... good work Cap'n Korah!

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #17 on:** July 07, 2003, 10:21:03 am »

personally I love the romulan designs at the feral yards and have replaced the firebird and condor models in TNZ mod for the ones there

http://www.feralyards.co.uk/

Reverend · « **Reply #18 on:** July 07, 2003, 10:24:56 am »

True, those are great as well... the trouble I had is that they have been made... many on Nightsoft haven't been... wish I could model so I could contribute more than just praises...

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2003, 02:46:59 pm »

Cheese, I'll send you the model so you can try and texture it. My next Nightsoft model is going to be the Romulan D'Xorac class warbird.

Reverend · « **Reply #20 on:** July 07, 2003, 03:55:29 pm »

That'll be a great one- I was wishing there were some newer, cruiser-size plus Romulan ships.... would you be inclined to look into making a few more or Nightsoft's Romulan and/or Klingon ships later on, Captain Korah? You always seem to pump out good ones whenever you make one.

Hey Cheese, I hope you'll be done by tomorrow, I'm already getting hate email from people about the campaign being down, and it's been less than 24 hours! I need to feed these people some TNZ or they may come after me!

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #40 on:** July 18, 2003, 07:26:12 pm »

The prototype I sent will have to suffice for now , I will be doing more work on the model on sunday because I am tied up till then

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #41 on:** July 21, 2003, 03:00:23 pm »

Just in case anyone is interested, the BaQ will be making it's first appearance in SFC trappings in the latest version of the TNZ mod, available soon from Battleclinic.com. Cheese was thoughtful enough to provide me with a preliminary SFC-friendly textured model for us to play with while he continues work on the final product. I'll wait to post a download for this ship on my Nightsoft webpage until the final release version is ready for your gaming pleasure. Thanks go to Raven of Nightsoft for the great ship design, TheBigCheese for the excellent textures, and to all of you fans who make me want to make models.

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #42 on:** July 21, 2003, 03:54:08 pm »

Yes its just a prototype I rushed through for the TNZ mod, I shall be fine tuning the engines and doing sea trials within the next couple of weeks but at the mo I am up to my eyeballs in real life issues

so I will get back to working on it soon

Raven Night · « **Reply #43 on:** August 15, 2003, 06:28:12 am »

Looking forward to seeing progress on this one.

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #44 on:** August 15, 2003, 07:08:26 am »

its in the TNZ mod raven

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #45 on:** August 15, 2003, 09:24:47 am »

I think Raven means the final texture version you were going to do. I realize that you probably won't do one now, but earlier you said that the current one was just until you had a chance to redo it. I have since taken the liberty of doing a touch-up job on the textures myself, just for the TNZ mod, but I want to keep those just for myself.

FYI Raven, I think this ship is as done as it's going to get. I know the textures are not what you had hoped for, but they are still better than I could have delivered. Much thanks to you Cheese, for your outstanding job!

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #46 on:** August 15, 2003, 10:59:20 am »

I plan to do a final version but not at the moment as I have all these models to do for TNZ mod and texturing takes a long time to do compared to making meshes I have found.

Raven Night · « **Reply #47 on:** August 15, 2003, 01:29:09 pm »

Ok, well, you can send the model to me in mod format with the current textures, and I can tweak them. This way I can purchase the model and get you guys paid.

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #48 on:** August 16, 2003, 07:26:40 am »

paid????

I did not ask to be paid???

what do you mean Raven?

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #49 on:** August 16, 2003, 11:29:35 am »

I made those ships for him under contract. If he likes the ship, then he has the option of paying me for the rights to the model. The same is true of the textures, and since you did them, you would be eligible if you decide to accept his offer, although I'm sure you don't have to accept any payment if you don't want to. Personally, I rather dislike the idea of "selling" these models, but I have been without a job for several months and really really need the income. I draw the line at altering my artistic vision of the end product, especially when there is so little referance material to work from. Raven is coming along nicely in his meshing skills though and can almost make whatever nitpicky changes he wants himself. No offence intended Raven

Anyhow, that's the story.

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #50 on:** August 16, 2003, 02:40:28 pm »

perhaps you and Raven should email me about this?
so we can discuss this further

Raven Night · « **Reply #51 on:** August 17, 2003, 06:01:53 am »

The details can be found on the concept page on our site. All of the conditions and payment levels are listed there. We have been known to pay more, and we do not pay much, but we release the ship for free, and you retain all artist rights to the model unless we release it commercially, in which case you get 10 percent of the profit margin for the life of the model plus full credits. The more work that is done on the model or textures, the higher the payment or percentage. For certain special models (like the Infinity) we will pay more, as we would need both high poly high detail and game versions of the model.

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #52 on:** August 17, 2003, 07:40:05 am »

OK understood,

I dont require paying for the textures as I do it for fun.

Game work is game work though and I would need to speak on this privatly as I have worked in development before on an amateur level.

Raven Night · « **Reply #53 on:** August 22, 2003, 09:13:43 pm »

Can someone provide me with a mod copy of this ship with the current textures?

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #54 on:** August 23, 2003, 02:59:55 am »

Sending it you now,

meant to send it sooner, sorry

I have been up to my eyeballs in work lately thanks to these damn viruses

it's suprising how many people who own as PC dont have a clue how to maintain it.

Raven Night · « **Reply #55 on:** August 23, 2003, 09:48:40 pm »

I know what you mean.........our IT has been working for three days trying to fix our systems.

Raven Night · « **Reply #56 on:** August 24, 2003, 07:04:19 am »

Excellent work........I would like to do two things.

I am not sure if this is the modified mesh I sent, as it looks a little tall. I would like to import it into max and reduce it's height a bit, maybe widen the wings just a touch.

Second, I would like to ask if you would be willing to make three maps for this model instead of just one. You can just make the others blanks, but I need three maps so I can remake and apply the new textures I am planning on making. You guys can use the new set or not, or just use them as a template for your own, as I can tell you make good texures (these are pretty good for a single map and 256). I would need the other two maps to have at least one poly assigned to it. I suggest one for the dorsal hull, one for the ventral hull, and one for details (bridge, front face, etc.).

If you are ok with the first, and willing to do the second, let me know.

Raven Night · « **Reply #57 on:** September 29, 2003, 11:35:23 am »

Any progress on sending me the three maps? I have a set of textures ready.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #58 on:** September 29, 2003, 12:36:18 pm »

I'm very interested to know as well.

In the last couple of WIPs she looked nearly complete. And those were in-game shots with texturing so I'd think she's VERY close to being done.

I've been looking forward to this ship since the first WIP!

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #59 on:** September 29, 2003, 06:27:21 pm »

I think TheBigCheese has dropped off the face of the earth. I would have to start from scratch to make the maps, and I don't have time for that ATM.

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #60 on:** September 30, 2003, 01:43:34 am »

No I am still here, I just have no time at the moment.
I did most of the work when I was off work with a bad back

At the moment I seem to have my work cut out for me at work with all these viruses.

TheBigCheese · « **Reply #62 on:** September 30, 2003, 05:27:04 am »

No I own a small computer maintenance business.

I think you need to look in start/control panel/administrative tools/component services/services local/ and disable messenger there

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #63 on:** September 30, 2003, 09:58:25 pm »

You can also get there, in xp anyway, start->run and typing in services.msc you can disable it from there.
