I took a short hiatus, but I am going to get back into it. Just about ready to release an alpha test of a bunch of ships.

Check out the other ships, here:

Umm u can't just take a model (i recognize it) and convert it for use in a game without the creator's permission... *waves finger* naughty naughty illegalness!

I direct you to the image below...

@ LogicSequence Settle down there Skippy. If you would refer to one of Brian’s other posts you would have known that he is using other people’s models. He stated it already. As far as getting the creators permission, the mod hasn't been released yet. So it’s a little premature to be waving a finger. I’m sure Brian will get all the necessary permission before it is released.

as the creator of models that have been used without permission be4, i tend to look out for artists rights. It's just wrong if u don't have permission. that's it.

Out of curiosity, does the game use any kind of LOD filtering to reduce the quality of models when you zoom further out?

LogicSequence, actually I do have permission to use that model.

castun, nope. that is why I need to get that model down in polysize.

Ion, I dont see a problem with that. Hopefully the mod gets finished though! God things got busy all of a sudden.

and that's fine, as long as you have permission from the creator, more power to you.

Spleeze! Have you ever been to the Starfleet Command forums? That game was easy to build ships for. Many folks built many ships for it. I even built a few. The forum for the models is Link

This might give you some ideas for what can be done. I personally built one of the old FASA designs a Romulan Nova Z1 that was quite involved and it only had about 3600 polys. The trick is that the detail is done with textures and a little bit of the poly model. I have seen some exquisitely done models with under 5000 polys. Here is a pic I built up from one of those models. This is one of the lower poly ones but as a ship in game it really looked quite impressive. That is the whole point after all.



This was a composite image made from several layers using wireframe up to a full render. If I was going to do this ship I would probably only add a few more polys around the dish edge to give it a smoother curve. This pic does give some idea as to the polygon layout.
Note: I used this pic as the cover for a 3D Studio Max texturing tutorial PDF I made about 6 years ago. I was given permission by the modeller to use his model for this image. (Sorry I no longer remember who it was) This is just an example to give an idea.

Heavens Eagle yep I have been there actaully.

There are my ships thus far. Many of them are built on existing SFC3 ships. A very good resource! Hopefully, once things calm down a bit, I can get some ships out to the community.

Nice work, now that you have your self warmed up, how about some Real ships.

ROMULAN (Rihannsu for those who know what they are talking about)

All the graceful aesthetic ships in ST are Rihanha, id love to see those

Great work!

Yours in Plasma,

I have to second that request. Would be really cool to blow up the enemy with a squadron of Warbirds.

He will make it available for download as soon as he is ready.
Last I heard, the ships were ready, but he was still figuring out how to go about making a nice installer.

Hey Spleeze,

Fantastic work. Only question I have is have you considered a cargo style hull? I don't recall anyone mentioning it in the thread (maybe coz we're all too excited!!!)

By the way, a small recommendation regarding the ship sizes. The Prometheus is not a Huge ship. In fact, it's closer to Medium than anything. A ship that would be classified as "Huge" would be the Excalibur.

Just a friendly recommendation
