Vessel Finishing what stevecast Started

[gattispilot]

Ok fixed that gap I extended those torpedo panels the length of the ship and removed the extra missile?
Been looking at the pipes along the top and bottom. Been adjusting them. And I wonder on bottom the pipes just seem to end on the top there is a part that the pipes go thru near the aft. Also on the aft one side has a wing but the other side doesn't. should both sides have that wing?

 

[Luke Reichelt]

should both sides have that wing?

I would assume so, yes.

 

[Buck Rogers]

I'm a little tied up at the moment, looks like it's in good hands

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. Here is a resized eanova

 

[gattispilot]

I redid the sc4 for thrust. Where should the docking ports be?

There are supposed to be two docking ports located in the main hangar, in a similar manner to stevecast's Omega-class destroyer which I previously linked.

 

[gattispilot]

Oh. I think this will work. It is using my eanova3 mesh

Anything else?

Not that I know of. At this point, we've pretty much got all the bugs sorted out.

On a related note, Buck Rogers has indicated he seems to be having a few problems with the Babylon 4 mesh, particularly with regards to the textures.

 

[gattispilot]

Oh. I am more a mesh person. I am willing to take a look though. Not sure if I can help though. Where is the mesh? what texture issues?

 

[Luke Reichelt]

Buck Rogers, if you are reading this, you need to provide gattispilot with a link to the Babylon 4 mesh so that he can work out the issues you seem to be having with it.

 

[Buck Rogers]

I didn't get very far with the Bab4 and hadn't exported it, it's probably easier to import the .3ds directly.
Which also leads me to a question:
When I import ,3ds into Blender 2 main things are missing, smoothing and material texture links, UVs, materials are fine. Maybe someone knows how to import these? Importing from Anim8tor they are intact?
@gattispilot: When you import .3ds into Anim8tor do you have smoothing and tex. links?

 

[gattispilot]

No texture links. No smoothing. I usually have to rebuild it. Not sure if opening obj in blender and then convert to 3ds for animator

 

[Buck Rogers]

No texture links. No smoothing. I usually have to rebuild it.

OK, same here
Unfortuneatrly I think all the original files are .3ds.

 

[gattispilot]

Oh. Will blender open them

 

[Buck Rogers]

Only older versions.
But the Bab4 files are .obj, and .lwo!
Maybe you have more luck, the textures don't match the pictures!
This is what I have so far.

 

[Luke Reichelt]

On the plus side, now that the mesh and configuration files for the Nova-class dreadnought are completed, said vessel is pretty much ready for release.

 

[gattispilot]

Only older versions.

Where are the files

 

[Buck Rogers]

Link is on the first page, Celestia Motherlode. Hopefully the textures fit, if it doesn't work out I can supply the mesh as is?

Nice work on the Nova, look forward to the release

I think he meant the link for the Babylon 4 mesh, which was one of the few models not available from Celestia Motherlode. Here's the link to it, by the way: https://open3dmodel.com/3d-models/babylon-space-station_480398.html

Also, when I talked about releasing it, I assumed you would be the one doing so. Sorry if I was a bit unclear there.

Linked below are the completed mesh and configuration files:

 

[gattispilot]

I don't care who releases it.

Also I am at the link the space station. But can't figure out how to download the 3ds or obj
