    I've looked everywhere for the 3D&D Klingon on ShareGC, but have come up empty handed. Was it taken down? Thanks!

    Aha! Different name, that's why I couldn't find it! Thank you!

    For the record it's a trend that has been on the rise over the last year or so. Several people in my circle have been using a retopology software called Wrap3 to convert game characters to the G8 figure. I mainly decided to focus my efforts on the Star Trek characters since the others were doing Star Wars.

    Yes, I've just discovered Wrap3 models this week. I only know you and one other using it though. Is it difficult to learn? Do you need to own the game you're aquiring the models from? (I assume so). I'd love to have a go at it myself!

    I think I can best describe Wrap3 as "Better-FaceGen" as it transfers shapes and textures from model to model. And there is no limit to how many points you can select for accuracy. I normally do 100 to 115, hence why my G8 conversions look exactly like the original game model. Most game developers are generally okay with fanartists using the game's models. One in particular that I've used models from in the past outright said they see it as free publicity.

    Well, seeing as how Dodger has also done races and characters from other universes than Star Trek....  has he done Sleestacks (Land of the Lost)?

  • DodgerDodger Posts: 304

    Er... there's Silurians. Same thing right?

  • nomad-ads_8ecd56922enomad-ads_8ecd56922e Posts: 1,951

    Uhm..... not exactly.  :D :D

    Close enough! I mean. How many lizard people can be lurking in the past after all?

    Does this count as Star Trek? I mean, I've heard many people (including George Takei) say that Galaxy Quest was one of the best Star Trek films of all time!

    Wow, that's amazing. I love Galaxy Quest.

     

  • FleetAdmiral01FleetAdmiral01 Posts: 111

    That looks fantastic.

     

    Reminds me of the Xindi Reptillian.

    Sorry for the Bump: Anyone know where i can find this warpsled?  I've looked on Trekmeshes, and all they have is the shuttle. not sled.

    The Kenny Mitchel one should be fine for that! Here is a render showing it

    Looking at the details of the shuttlecraft, I see you've just used the textures exactly as they apply. I've discovered that the UVMapping of (I think) all the surfaces is offset — I fixed them by shifting the tiling offset values for each surface until I'd guesstimated the proper positions.

    What's really annoying me about this model, though, is the lack of textures for the warp sled. I've found photos of the original movie prop, and it has the same kind of purple-ish colour scheme as the shuttlecraft, plus Vulcan text along the sides.

    Speaking of which, I got that to work on the shuttle by using the Alpha and Decal maps and the Diffuse Overlay parameters (must be in Metallicity/Roughness mode to use this). Put the Alpha maps into Diffuse Overlay Weight (set the value to 1), and the Decal maps into Diffuse Overlay Color. You won't see the overlay until you render, but don't worry about everything matching with the offsets, all the maps are moved at the same time.

    There's one as a 3DS file* on The Celestia Motherlode. You'll need to scale it, of course.

    * I think. If not, it's as a CMOD, which will require writing a script to convert to something you can otherwise read. But hey, the specs for the file format are partly publlished on the Celestia download site!

    There's no Babylon 5 thread, which is a shame, but it means I'm gonna plug this here Minbari in here. Go have him invade Deep Space 9 or debate a Vulcan or something maybe.

    And yet it is, at the same time, also just the Three Amigos in space.

  • DodgerDodger Posts: 304

    But Three Amigos is just a comedic Magnificent Seven, so would that make it a comedic Battle Beyond the Stars?

  • GordigGordig Posts: 10,056

    Magnificent Seven is just cowboy Seven Samurai, and Battle Beyond the Stars is plenty comedic, whether intentionally or not.

    I should probably make one, plus uniform. I already have the season 1 sash (in the TOS) but it would need reversed.

    Looking good, I'll have to pick it up. Thanks for the mini-preview.

    That would be amazing.  Your morphs are out of this world.

    Just in case anyone was curious this is meant to be our variation of the Klingon uniform there will also be an additional set of textures I'm not sure whether we will include it with the suit or if it will be an extra add-on so stay tuned

The add-on pack will include the sash and several different decorations to declare which house the particular warrior comes from so stay tuned

    Indeed it has. I'm new but it would seem I've already established myself.

    I think if/when you make these available for download, they're going to be the default, go-to option for many people.
