Okay:-)

Sulu's Viewer has found a home!

:-)

Few more found homes tonight too.

These are all 're-ups' so far. I may have added a few promo pics into the zips, and a readme or two ... but the actual files are all the same.

Great looking image Paul, and why can't it ever be Klingon's or Tholian's or even those evil Vulcans?

madd, now that i think about it archie sent me a file that had the tholian model in it . at the time he told me if i change or improve it in any way i could share the results if credit for the base model were given to him as is his due

That works for me. You know I have no problem giving credit where it's due. I'd gladly give you both credit.

Can you send a zip my way?

Ummm Bluto.....?

bluto said:

ok, sorry madd , i will send it to you tomorrow. i just want to make sure i have all the textures i the same file

Okay. I understand.

Steam Pirate for M4 is on sale ... and in going through the purchase process there may be a further discount given. [didn't get the email so don't know the particulars]

You know, after all these years, I still don't know what font to use for the hull IDs on the TOS 1701!

I've been working on a favor for a friend; I downloaded Mattymanx's conversion of Raul Mamoru's 1701 model which has the ID modeled as 'decals,' but he's wanting to use other IDs. Since the model is already UV-mapped, I've split up the existing dozen or so materials into 67 (so far), so there's a lot more flexibility, and nothing overlaps anything any more. But now to make IDs, I don't know what font to use ...

Incidentally, I've moved all the bump maps over to use as the specular maps, instead - the ones included with the model are too 'TMP' for my taste ;). And I made a grid bump map for the saucer ....

Ghastly made this dress, and he's tossing the Geometries into the public domain... might be something useful to make a TOS outfit...

I use airborne:

Perfect! Thanks, man! :coolsmile:

i use the actual font - Federation Starfleet Hull 23rd

http://www.dafont.com/federation-starflee.font

and the Tal Shiar has a ton of star trek fonts

http://www.talshiar.org/Fonts/

or download all the fonts at tal shier in one zip - http://www.talshiar.org/Fonts/Fonts.zip

This is for Matty, or anyone who has had this issue,

I seem to be having a weird rendering issue with the MM JJ-USS Federation.

When it is pre-rendered, everything looks okay and nice, but when you try and render it, somehow, the top saucer image changes to that of the USS Enterprise-reimagined texture, but turned 180 degrees.
Tried it in Poser 9 and Poser Pro 2012, and it keeps happening.
I go into materials, and set it to the correct image texture, yet somehow in the rendering, it reverts to the incorrect texture.

Any idea what is causing this?

Also, my first render, messing with Daz Studio 4 and Matty's NX-01 Enterprise conversion, with a few little light tweaks in Photoshop CS6.

Finally got around to trying BlueBeetle's Spock face pose (.FC2).

I must say it is, by far, the best likeness of Nimoy for Mike 4 I've encountered, easily rivaling the one Werts created.

For the ears, I used the DAZ creature morphs. there's one labeled "EarElfIn" that looks like it was modeled on the iconic Fred Phillips makeup sculpt. I applied Mylochka's M4 Vulcan textures and gave the skin's base color channel an RGB setting of 225,255,225.

I always thought Nimoy looked better when he wore a higher collar (and his costume varied slightly throughout the series), so I made the collar material zone of the Valiant tunic visible by giving it a velvet shader. I would reduce the black band in the existing tunic texture to a thin line with a subtle point at the front, but I'd just botch the beautiful fabric effect of the existing design.

Anyway, I just wanted to praise BlueBeetle's efforts.

I hope you do more of the "classic" crew.

Sincerely,

Bill

And blubeetle3 thanks you for the praise.

It's well deserved!

And today I turned some rocks into a .cr2 file. [MotoTsume's asteroid field]

And I figured out how to turn a .duf pose into a .dsf pose that works :-)

Catherine,
I just posted your three other freebies to the list. bowl, chin guard, and flag to the list. Sorry it took so long.

Beetle thank you for the Spock morph...you've caused me to go back and rewrite a future issue of the mirror trek issues to include our beloved 'Emperor or traitorous Vulcan' how ever you see him...in a pending plot twist. thank you!

Render drop.

I was working on another project when I saw that the WoolOneP for A3 dress by Tentman would make a great uniform.
That led to this render on the most excellent ST:TOS bridge by Ptrope.

Yukinojo's new bridge.

When the Kimba girls found out that Tennyo's new ship could easily reconfigure itself into different forms, and since it has a full load of fuel, they wanted to enlarge the control room. What better than a ST:TOS bridge? With new uniforms, of course.

We got Cpt. Tennyo, with yeoman Jade.
Nicki & Toni on Nav & Weapons.
Bunny on Science & Ayla on Comms. (Though Ayla hates wearing a skirt.)
And look, Hank got stuck as a 'Red Shirt'.

Now most of the buttons don't actually work, they just beep when you push them.
The ship's AI is controlled from the Cpt.’s chair.

:) :)

Yes this is another joke render of the Kimba girls of Whateley Academy. http://www.crystalhall.org/

Ok, now for some shameless, gratuitous fan service :D
