Those turrets don't look very good with smoothing. Would you consider using Flat Shading on them?

Other than that, another quality mesh/textures of an absolutly terrible design. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice work.

w0000000000t!

Here's some pics of my own from a quick test run this morning...

Cloaked:

Decloaking:

Attacking:

Victorious:

Beauty pass:

All that's left for TW 0.22 now is some mex tweaking; once I can find some time to do that, we can release that baby and get on to full-time IAW work...

Hmmmm Zeelich maybe yer right. it is 1 texture that covers all the turrets/antenna, and very small part of the aft area anyway (its just a generic hull texture since u dont zoom in close enough to see details that small anyway) Ill give it a test flat shaded and see how it goes.

The generic texture on the turrets doesnt look very good, are you sure you couldnt just make up a texture for them instead of making them plain white?

Lots of wasted polys on the saucer, too

Overall quite nice, though I again despise the design [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Stress didn't make the saucer. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And, if you look at the picture in the other thread, the sensor arrays aren't particularly detailed. "Plain white" is pretty much all they are...

I know they dont actually, but I'm saying that as they are at the moment they look bad, this is one instance where making it slightly less canon would make a far better result.

I was trying to avoid adding more texture sheets than the stock SoA Miranda came with. Yes your right about the wasted polys too the current SoA/TW Miranda, and saratoga use the same base mesh. as does the Soyuz maybe when i get some time ill go over the base mesh and do some of my tricks and nonsense on it

or maybe ill just mesh a new miranda just for TW (shouldnt take that long to do)

It wont make a difference if i detail texture the antennas or not. ill do some details on it anyway to show you HW1/Cat is pretty unforgiving when it comes to minor things. especially working with textures as low res as HW lifs
