ALT-Trek

UPDATE...
While fixing the textures on my U.S.S. Swiften I thought up a new picture but with a shuttle. So I went back and decided to modify the one I had a make a slightly larger Tactical shuttle for this new image. Ignore the textures because they went to crap but I’ll need to paint new ones for this anyway.

Here it is side by side with my original shuttle.

they look good so far

B.J. · December 14 2011, 04:42 PM

Nice! Looks like one of Eaves' concepts from Trek 2009.

XFozzboute · December 15 2011, 04:10 AM

Yeah I borrowed a few ideas because I liked them.

UPDATE...
I was gonna try and keep this simple and get it doen fast. Well, so much for that.
I added a few more bits to make it look more armored and I increased the size of the armor on the back.

Decided to add some ladning gear.

Here’s a good look at the landing gear.

Very sturdy.

XFozzboute · December 17 2011, 10:59 PM

UPDATE...
Started to work on textures for the engine cowl and finished up some of the detail on the back of the warp engines. Still a little bit to go.

publiusr · December 19 2011, 09:09 PM

Are you going to put any detail into the top-most structure connecting the nacelles? Some vents or some beveling maybe?

No. No more detail. it has some bevels but it's not meant to be seen in great detail.

UPDATE...
I finished the textures for the engine cowl and just need to add a few final touches to the wing textures.
I also started the textures for the side. Still need to add a few things to finish it up. The colored strip will be different depending on the role the shuttle will fill.

I also finished the textures for the back of the shuttle.

looks fantastic.
The texture really gives it some "weight".

baxart · December 21 2011, 11:04 PM

Very cool, will you be releasing this for poser?

XFozzboute · December 23 2011, 12:03 AM

No. I suck at conversions.
UPDATE...
Not much more to do. I just have to do the bottom and the other side of the shuttles hull. Then I can get to work on the warp engine textures.

baxart · December 23 2011, 03:31 AM

You could just export .objs...

XFozzboute · December 24 2011, 05:30 PM

Max doesn't export to obj.

Hey Rob, if interested, you have options:
http://www.facegen.com/mesh_max.htm

This one is my personal choise, but appears it won´t work under max 6... You´ll need to try and see.

And here goes an interesting tool, usefull when importing: http://www.deep-shadows.com/hax/3DRipperDX.htm

XFozzboute · December 27 2011, 03:52 AM

Cool I might take a look at those. Thanks.

UPDATE...
Well I’m just about done. I finished the bottom of the shuttle. All I have left now are parts that connect the engines to the ship and the landing skids. I don’t really need to finish building the landing skids yet because I don’t need them in the picture I plan to do.

Well, what do you know a christmas miracle. I actually figured out how to unwrap an object and that’s how I textured the warp engine.
