My first original SF ship model...

...make what you want of it, modify the texture, use it in your mods, whatever!

A spinning top

Not bad, not bad at all

Just to note, its TINY

I had to enlarge it by x100 just so it was a reasonable size, and its still tiny

Yeah, the modeller I'm using (Wings) creates small models, and I could scale them up when I export - but why bother, each program that reads them has its own scaling standards!

You think it looks like a top? Hmm,I was intending for the point to face forward... though it does look like the Planet Destroyer from ST:TOS if you make the point face backwards...

The Escort through Battleship would have 3 through 9 facets, by the way, as the Dreadnought has 10. But this one was so much trouble to texture (and it STILL looks bad!) that I don't think I'll be making a full SE4 set! (Unless I just go with solid colors and forget the UV stuff...)

Easiest way to do things

Do the model yourself, and if you are crap at textures, get someone else to do it for you

[Ed Kolis]

Well I've got this Ultimate Unwrap 3D program pretty much figured out, so no sense in not using that to at least generate the UV template... I've actually got more models, they're so easy for me to make with Wings (great program BTW) that I can just play around randomly with a cone or something and get something that looks vaguely like a fighter or something, I just can't paint the textures on them the way I want!

But if there are any volunteers for texturing ship models, I'll gladly make more... Wings is fun

My friend also makes models with Wings. If he someday would remember to convert the models into 3ds format and bring the files to me I could add them to the People's mod.
