Title: Benevolant Class WIP **Update** 5/19
Post by: Victory on May 10, 2005, 09:18:10 pm
My first real attempt at a Kitbash. Soveriegn Varrient

I like the concept alot, just not the stock SFC3 sovie to use in the bash.

first attempt, sue me. I searched through a few other Sovs I could find, and didn't find one with the texture detail I was looking for. I'm not an artist by any stretch, so I kept the original. I may retexture later, but I dunno.

A retexture is definately needed if you're going to use the stock model.  I agree with MP.  Another model is needed for the bash.  But this is a great concept.  I for one want to see how she looks when she's finished.

Ok mr Picky Pants.. hehe.. Try this one on for size. I re-worked the struts a bit, what you think of this?

you can see, especially in the front picture, a bit of mis-alignment, but I corrected that. Glad you like it.. hehe

I do love the ship, but I get this weird feeling that this particular configuration has been done before.

Yeah the second config has been done before. It also resembles the Prometheus. As for Sovie models.....why not use Redragon's ? Personally I really like the first config better, looks very sleek. There are a few sovie varients I wouldn't mind seeing that can be found here..........

Great job on the bashing Victory.

Dammit people, make up your minds.. lmao. THis is a first attempt, so sue me. If anyone can find a version of this that's been done already, lemme know. I don't wanna step on any toes. MP, you got a place I can download that version you're refering to? I'll take a look at it, who knows.

what a surprise. that's actually the one I used to make the second version. The textures are fubared on it, and I don't know what to do to fix it.

It's a matter of texture resizing. Didn't take me long at all to fix it. Only thing I couldn't fix was getting the name under the shuttlebay. But you're gonna change the name a reg anyway so no worries.

Just as a refference, what size did you make the textures?

That's kinda vague, you know how many textures are on that thing. Tell me which ones on your model aren't working right and I'll post the corrected dimensions for each.

simple answer, none of them. The saucer, the nacells, the secondary hull. the under side of the saucer. None of it. As a test, I took the saucer texture and resized it, doubled it actually, and to no effect.

BOO YAAA!!!! SHE's ALIVE! Thank you, that helped. My only question is why would he release the model if the textures were that far off? I only had one file that was the correct size. That doesn't make any sence to me.

It's cause it worked perfectly fine when he tested it in Volume II.  I asked Red to fix it and he posted it in their forums (In their FORUMS, he hasn't uploaded it to Trekmods).  F_W is working with Mani to fix the small bugs.

Post by: Victory on May 18, 2005, 06:05:16 pm
oh well. I've done some more tweeking with it making it a more unique ship and not just another Sov varriant.

I think I've got the mesh about where I want it, just going to work on a few retextures.
Title: Re: Benevolant Class WIP
Post by: Victory on May 19, 2005, 07:31:52 pm
Here's the new textures I've worked on. whatdaya think?
Title: Re: Benevolant Class WIP **Update** 5/19
Post by: Greenvalv on May 20, 2005, 09:14:55 am
Looking good, but the nacelle textures look out of place.  Perhaps darker would be better?
Title: Re: Benevolant Class WIP **Update** 5/19

Well, I wasn't finished with it, geez.

So this is what you were up to.  Looks good.  I've never been a fan of sticking extra nacelles on a ship and calling it badass, but this one's starting to look really good.
Title: Re: Benevolant Class WIP **Update** 5/19
Post by: Victory on May 20, 2005, 11:59:41 am
Hehehe.. Thank ye. I think she's almost done. Since I'm Co-Lead modder at AU, she will be available first in our next campaign, then I'll release her to Battleclinic. If you want to be the first to fly her, you'll have to join our next camp. (Ain't I a stinker?)

What's the insignia on the back of the nacelle?

Starfleet Tactical Command

Post by: Mr_Tricorder on May 20, 2005, 06:24:26 pm
I like it, but what exactly is Tactical Command?
Title: Re: Benevolant Class WIP **Update** 5/19
Post by: Victory on May 20, 2005, 06:54:08 pm
Actually, it's Tactical Operations Command. Well, the name says it all. Command fleet for tactical operations in Starfleet.

Those look the Kreeargh's Solarium textures.
Title: Re: Benevolant Class WIP **Update** 5/19
Post by: Victory on May 22, 2005, 11:35:04 am
That's where I got the idea. we had the Solarium in last mod and people really liked it.
