MKF's Random Trek Crap!

[Freak]

I agree with Eric, and your windows always look great!

[scifidude79]

That looks outstanding.

[Road Warrior]

Looks great, Dan!!!

[MadKoifish]

More holes and some details to the hull.

[scifieric]

Excellent!

[scifidude79]

That's looking really sweet. I like the landing pad for a docked shuttle or pod.

[Freak]

This is really Cool!

[MadKoifish]

Adding on more panel details and detaching bits here and there to create unique UVWs. Really need to revise my materials though.

[scifieric]

It looks excellent to me!  Beautiful work!

[scifidude79]

Yeah, what Eric said.

[Road Warrior]

You plan on any more Disco ship conversions?

[Freak]

Looking Good!

No real plans too, this one itself was a whim anyhow. I cannot really make much use of these short of a few renders for the web. (cannot really submit them for SOTL)

Forgive my ignorance, but why not?  This is better than most of what gets in SOTL!

Conflict of interest remember Doug is effectively my boss on that. Also CBS is the parent company effectively. I do not think they would welcome such visual conflict with existing work.

Teh Update,

Spent most of the rest of the night arguing with lights. The raised deck next to the pennant keeps getting in the way so a side light typical of TMP era gets lit up along with the pennant. Which I disliked, tuning them to avoid that means they cannot project far enough along to light the lettering. So various attempts later I have a multi lamp arrangement. Ignore the color tone as I will likely tone all ship gizmos to a warmer light. ATM it is just white, I wish I could adjust by temperature vs RGB color. I am using MR gizmos as photometric just obliterate render times and are much harder to avoid unwanted effects near the gizmo itself. I suppose I could use a hidden LUM object but those are generally ambient vs a projected light and do not reach too far without odd blowout or bleed through. There is suppose to be a projection map on these but I am not seeing it so I might have to swap the bitmap.




Example I use LUM lights on markers, interior lighting and any glow element on or in the ships.

AND RRRRRRR at the blotchiness in my materials. I cannot figure out where the heck the noisemap like grime is coming from. Maybe something in scene is broken or referencing a file that is not there. Max 2013 often does not try root directories before returning to old references when saving files. never had much issue with 2010.
