I'll see if I have the model; if I do, I can try to update the UV mapping and send you the UVS, which you can import into the OBJ using UV Mapper, then save the OBJ under a new name, and then update a copy of the CR2 with the new filename ;). All of that is very easy.

( with eyes crossed) Yeah....:ohh:

Almost there! Thought I'd show off a preview of the Time Ship - it's in 'beta testing' right now, but all the hard stuff is done :). I should be posting it to ShareCG on Friday (the 13th!)

Looking forward to this

"Open the .CR2 in a text editor and replace the name of the OBJ in it with the name of the new one you just saved. Save the .CR2."

I don't have a text editor- at least, not that I'm aware of.

If you are on Windows, you have Notepad. (There's a nice freebie called Notepad2 that I prefer to use.) Or you can go all over-kill by getting the free OpenOffice and use the word-processor, saving in Text format. (Watch to make certain it doesn't change the extension automatically to .txt when you save.)

If you're on a Mac, I'm stuck.

Windows 7 still has it. So I will try. Don't know how soon, though. I'm in the process of moving my "Command center". After almost 6 years in the basem*nt- at the time there was no where else to set it up- It's gotten claustrophobic. So I'm moving it upstairs into the light.

The Mac version of Notepad is Textedit says the Mac using tuna :-)

Thanks this is great. Did a little render with it already

Thanks

Having a bit of fun "modding" Ptrope's "Lazarus' TimeShip" into a kind of StarFleet one man shuttle-pod.

I salvaged the impulse engine from the MantyManx TOS Enterprise and scaled it to fit the area where the fins had been.

Sincerely,

Bill

Looks good! I'm glad it helped - looks like you got through the 'under the hood' stuff just fine ;).

Fear of the unknown. I just followed your instructions in your e-mail.

Nothing special, just piling a few characters into Rduda's Klingon chambers.

Given the others' glancing glares, Spock appears to be saying, "My apologies. The plomeek soup is not digesting well."

Sincerely,

Bill

Funny thing about the boots.

Those are not the ones supplied with Oshikai's "Retro Dress" collection. They have no morph to reduce the thickness of the soles. These are the ones from the A3 Clothing collection. Those have dials for all sorts of heel and sole fashions, from stiletos to platform "stompers" Had the things for years and never bothered using them until I tried assembling an Aiko based Vampirella (using SamTherapy's material node based Vampi' costume).

Sincerely,

Bill

Hi hi.

Need a hand picking a ship for my own Trek comic, a bit stumped at the moment, so need some suggestions, please.

Happens 10 years after Nemesis,
Deep Space Exploration Mission,
Older Ship (for a first time captain)
Not a battleship, but having enough to fight with to protect itself if need be,
Preferably one who's numbers equal to 9 (it's a thing I have)

Thank for any help. :D

How large a ship are you talking about? Defiant size or 1701-E?

If by "numbers equal to 9" is the crew complement, my pick would be the absolutely beautiful Archer Class Scout:

I would love to be able to de-Trek it a bit and use it commercially as a non-Trek ship, it's gorgeous.

A full complement is 14, but it could no doubt run with 9. Has phasers, photon torpedoes and shields, capable of Warp 8.

that Galaxy Class would be an older ship that is still in operation and designed for exploration

that Galaxy Class would be an older ship that is still in operation and designed for explorationOnly you'd need more than 9 people to run it--unless you dusted off Daystrom's old M-5 unit....& you'd probably still want to keep Data close by and handy..... ;)

If Ryuu only wants a crew of 9, then I don't think you can go much larger than an Antares class - and that would be pushing it.

Actually, a few rather large ships have been automated to work with crews in the single digits--Enterprise (1701A) modified by Scott & the Stargazer, modified by Daimon Bok quickly pop into mind.

You're probably right, though. Antares might be the size she'd have to be is you don't expect anything to go wrong...thus the caveat I had mentioned about M-5 & Data ;)

Looks good. This is the USS Pasteur from the final ST:TNG episode, isn't it?
