Post your new models here

[the_mask]

Glad you like 'em

How could I ever stop before we don't have all the lovely models for Rebellion from all the various eras ?

 

Btw, I had uploaded the YT-3000 on my site too, but that was the version, that had a bug, so when I could finally add the download here, I had to upload a fixed version on swr and wasn't in the mood to spend all the time again, to upload it to my site with my snail-like connection at home.

But on Monday I'm back at the uni, so ...

[the_mask]

Woo, time to dust off this thread again.

 

I've uploaded another tutorial today, which shows an easier and faster way to texturing. Thanks to Zeelich for showing it to me earlier.

[Mad78]

Where is it. All i see are the normal three tutorials

[the_mask]

It has been updated.

 

Thanks, Scath

[Floros]

Hey Mask, I just finished a 3d model of the "Arc-Hammer", care to upload it on the site? I think it's quite good..

[Mad78]

You too

I have one who is in the process of being textured.

[Floros]

What do you mean? Have you made a model of the Arc-Hammer?

[Krytos]

Not textured yet, though here's my Defender class Star Destroyer, which with different textures and possibly a modified model will be an Endurance class Fleet Carrier:

EDIT:

Hey Mad and Floros, can you guys post pics of your Arc-Hammers? I'd love to see them!

[the_mask]

Holy cow

 

Now just imagine this one with textures and you'll start drooling as I do

[Trejiuvanat]

WOW!!!

 

It does look GREAT!!!

 

[Floros]

I am having difficulties with applying textures to my 3d models, so I use them naked or simply painted. Have a look at my Arc-Hammer and tell me your opinion. It's abit crude, needs some work, but the "Rebellion" game doesn't handle details so good anyway..

[the_mask]

Cool, did you read the new texturing tutorial, that I recently added to the downloads section ?

It might help ya

[Floros]

I read all the tutorials, but I still can't manage to apply textures. I use gmax, LithUnwrap, Amapi 3D and Milkshape. When I run a 3d program, I can apply textures and then preview my model WITH textures. The problems start when I try to save it. If I save it in .3ds or .ms3d format, and then try to convert them to .x, the textures are lost in the .x file. Do I save the textures seperately to another format? (e.g .bmp) In the tutorials, when you say "save the model", in what format do you mean?

 

Moreover, I have a different LithUnwrap 1.3 version, and it doesn't have the options you show in your tutorial (it doesn't have the Tools--UV unwrapping option)

[Krytos]

Woo Floros!!!

 

Nice model, looks great.

[the_mask]

Yes, the textures need to be in the bmp format, then they need to have the same palette applied, that I explained in the fighters tutorial, for example.

The model needs to be saved in the 3ds format, so that conv3ds can convert it to .x

 

Did you select any vertices/objects, before trying to unwrap the model in Lith ?

[Floros]

Mask, can you please explain to me briefly what "template picture" and "palette" means? I don't quite understand the terms...

 

When I read your tutorials I don't understand the fraze "If you don't already have a template picture for the palette used in tactical, you can used the picture I've put into this tutorial's archive. If your graphics program supports it, I suggest you open the template and save it's palette with your program. This way you apply the palette later to any other picture. Alternatively you can also copy your image into the template picture and it will be automatically converted to the right palette (I advise against that, though)."

 

Can you explain it to me abit differently? I would greatly appreciate it..

[the_mask]

-3 ... thrust at one hundred percent ....

 

 

Ookay

First of all, the palette is the amount of colors, that are used in a picture. For example a 256 color palette, like with Rebellion, means, that your picture will also have 256 colors. With many graphic programs you got the option to look at the palette of the current picture, so you're also able to see which colors can be in it. Most of these programs also let you save it then, so you can apply it later to other images.

Alternatively, you could also take your image, that uses more/different colors and paste it into a picture with the apropriate palette, thus converting your picture to the other's palette.

The template pic I meant is one, that is in the same .zip file, as that tutorial. Template means something like "blue-print", a basic framework, that helps you construct your picture.

This black picture I included (for example: "fighters template 128.bmp") already has the palette of Rebellion's textures, so you can either extract the palette from it, or copy your images into this one. That last method is just not as accurate, that's why I don't encourage it.

[Mad78]

This is my Arc Hammer. I still need to correct a few faces.

[the_mask]

Ho, ho, ho !

 

Here are your christmas presents from me.

 

Textured versions of the:

 

-ISD

-VSD

-Golan III

 

and a completely new model, the Liberator cruiser.

All downloadable from my site, link's under the www button of this post.

 

Merry christmas.

[Floros]

Great work Mask, I particularly liked the new Golan III. I allways used it in my games, but without the textures it looked too simple. Now it looks wonderful.

[driftwood]

wicked work Mask

now I'm off to crush the Reb.... err... load the new textures.

[Floros]

Hey Mad78, how can I put pictures in my posts? I mean real pics, not links to other sites with pics..

[Krytos]

Ok, rather long post.

 

Well first off . . .

 

Hey Mad78, how can I put pictures in my posts? I mean real pics, not links to other sites with pics..

 

If you use imageshack to host your images, they have a link to a thumbnail view -> Generic tag, though with a generated image for the thumbnail

Ok, first off my Endurance class Fleet Carrier. I've added to the bridge and put in two towers - ie. control towers for a Republic Wing each (3 fighter squadrons)

http://img134.exs.cx/img134/4088/endurace046bz.jpg

 

Next is a New Republic Assault Transport that I got from the back of Star by Star . . . so it could be anything, though I made it into an AT

http://www.starwars.com/eu/news/2001/04/news20010417_sbs2.html (The ships down the bottom, near the X-Wing)

 

Next is the Sacheen Escort Cruiser - which will have the hangars removed and become the Hajeen Fleet Tender

http://img134.exs.cx/img134/1821/sacheen084fh.jpg

 

Next is the Warrior Gunship, I slightly modified this design by making it symetrical

http://img134.exs.cx/img134/998/warriorgunship064gs.jpg

 

This is followed by the Agave Picketship, which uses the same body as the Warrior, though without the second arm and a 3rd radar dish.

http://img134.exs.cx/img134/4739/agavepicketship061ug.jpg

 

Now for my own designs, with the NJO era there are only a few new designs around - Bothan Assault Crusier, Mediator Battlecruiser, Viscount and Strident Star Defender and Ranger Gunship. So I decided to make my own as well

First is a ship that I'm yet to think up full stats for except that it's a War Cruiser based on the Alderaan War Frigate, which means it's fast and moderately armed.

http://img152.exs.cx/img152/8687/warcruiser081gd.jpg

 

And finally, here's a ship I made from extruding and bevelling a single cube and eventually made it into a Bothan Frigate of some kind

Woo, that's all for today

 

 

 

Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting

[Floros]

The models look excellent Krytos. You must have a good 3d program, they look nicely shiny and smooth Don't they have a very large polygon number? Where did you find their designs? Are they suppose to be later-era ships?

 

I'm just finishing my Firespray (Slave-1) model, check it out and tell me your opinion.. It still needs some work on the back-engine-floor..

Thanks guys and Woo !

 

If I would've known that publishing a few new models would start such an avalanche, I would've done that sooner

 

Great stuff people and Floros, you should insert a "plate" at the back of the Firespray to cover what's below.

What is the model's polycount, btw ?
