hey guys. impressive updates all around.
i’m still here ok. just a little distracted at the moment.
Wow, great work 33! Just thought I’d check in, got back from Vancouver earlier this week, still have much sorting to do after getting married 
Also, I’m building a faster system, might be finished this weekend, which would be great. My wife’s laptop died so I’m giving her my existing system.
I’ve got some good updates, I finished the front crew deck windows, and the main flak turret batteries in the midsection. I’d say I’m about 70% finished detailing at this point, tonight or tomorrow I will work on the RTS thrusters in the front cowling, the launch tubes, and possibly finish the dradus area.

Having some probs with imageshack, give me a few minutes to post the other two pics!
This thing is sweet!
Is there any news on the space station that someone was building?
Texture update.
Also started smoothing out alot of the geomety and adding alot more depth in detail.


I know, it’s been a very long time… sorry about that. But, I’m back now, and have started texturing the viper - I hope it will be done soon. Sorry about the long delay, hope this project is still on…


Viper is looking great Nighttrain,
I love the scratch effects on the red stripe. It might be worth moving some of those bullet holes around, they seem far to uniform and close for a glancing hit.
Also, gotta wonder (even dispite how great it looks) wasn’t this battlegroup supposed to be with new ships on their test flights… so wouldn’t there a be a new paint job to match?
still looks great, hope to see more from the others. Been checking Titan and Vanguard over on 3DSM progress over all looks great!
To get the wear&tear effects - the scratches, the dirt, the paint chips - I’m actually using several materials with masks between them. Getting a “clean” viper is a ludicrously simple task with such a system - a simple matter of clicking a few checkboxes. So, if the clean viper is needed, it won’t present a problem. Still, at the timeframe of this animation, the mkII is old - we do have mkVIIs in it. But it does seem logical they’d clean it and give it a new paint job…
As for the “bulletholes”, they’re a recent addition, and I’m still contemplating on tweaking them or losing them alltogether. It’s more of an experiment at this stage…
glad to hear. Again, i’m really impressed regardless. Any idea how the rest is getting on?
I am in continued Awe and Bitter Envy at 1of33’s Titan and Vanguard seems to be nearing done.
Not seen much of Sirius or the shipyard lately. Did gonkdroid ever finish his?
Just noticed this thread seemed to slow lately. Would hate to see such an awsome project die. Mebby i’m just being the impatient fan… spoiled for quality by work so far.
good to see we’re back on this. I was forced to sell my pc hence the lack of updates, however I am buying a new one in a few weeks so expect this to be in full swing again.
Looking great, Michael. I have to recover my HDD with the Sirius before I can continue… Also I need a new PC. I dont have a PC anymore
I had to sell it due to some MAJOR financial issues. Cash gifts are always welcome
(Wishful thinking?)
