Making Federation Ship Set (STM)
 

My first atempt at Federation STNG ships. Note I said first attempt.

I have updated a few of the images and added new ones over at the Mods Offical Forum. Come by and see whats new.

They look cool. Very stylized. I like ship sets that have a consistent feel to them. "realistic" ship sets get boring after a while. And they're definitely identifyable TNG Trek.

Galaxy, Nebula, Galaxy Refit, Enterprise C (Constellation?), Intrepid, Sovereign

Kwok's ships were like that too, but he has his own style.

Bravo. Well done. Can't wait to see the rest of the set.




P.S. Is there a way to up the poly count on those saucer sections? I feel they should be smoother.

Re: I Don\'t Know About This
 

I guess AT is making his models with se5 in mind now. se5 wouldn't like high poly count.

Re: I Don\'t Know About This
 

Thanks guys. The ploy count on the sources is already pretty high. I have looked at a lot of models over the Last few hours and many share the same rounded look as these.

I need a really good texture for the hulls though. I honestly do not know if I can get the detail that CK had with his models, but I will try to get close.

Also I am not sure if I will ever use these models or not. I would like to as they are my creations, but given the choice between my models and the current ones, I think the current ones win hands down.

Look for updates and two other ships at the STM Forum over on www.spaceempires.net

I like them, it seems every day you get further past the limitations of curves in Doga. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

My only complaint are the yellow windows, a tad bit too bright. But other than that the model detail is excellent.

The're good.

Re: I Don\'t Know About This
 

Quite good, actually. The 'angles' on the saucer sections are just barely perceptible. Don't reduce the poly count on those. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I don't know if it's because of the background color of this bb or not, but the color seems slightly off. Maybe they'd look better in a black background like they should appear in SE IV. I hope there are enough 'official' ship designs to make a complete set. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thanks guys.

I have a put up a couple more ships (Akira type and Defiant type) over at SE.net forums in the Star Trek Mod thread. (Link to in above post.)
