Well, here it is.. my first work-in-progress posting ever. Not as exciting as I'd hoped, but hey.

All right. Got something in the works here, a project that's finally small enough in scale that I'll be likely to finish it, while being large enough in concept to teach me something. Shown here is the bridge of a Republic Cruiser. (Same as the Radiant VII shown at the beginning of Episode 1.)

As for what I'd like to know, my main question is with the texturing. I'm using only three different control panel textures here and on most of the ship in an effort to get more milage out of them, and I'm wondering if I'm getting away with it so far. As for the lighting, I'm still working on it. Why I'm showing the dark image is because this is probably going to be the extent of lighting on the finished project, as the ship will actually be wrecked.

Aside from that, if there's anything else you'd like to tell me, please go ahead. I'll accept as much criticism as you can dish out, really.

Not much.

Good to see there's finally someone that uses the shaders instead of only the lightimages on consoles, though.

You're getting there ont he attention to detail, but that cubey monitor on the top right of pic 1 needs some definite reconsideration.

Thanks, folks.

Glad to see someone else likes non-lightmap consoles. Only problem is having a bunch of lit consoles all over the ship might undermind the concept of it being wrecked and otherwise out of order. I'm pretty sure there's a way to allow the player to turn them on and off at will, (which is what I really want) I just need to find it...

As for the upper console, yeah.. I don't like it much either. I have plans for it...

Oh yes, and here's an updated shot of the proper lights I added after finishing the upper deck.


By the way... If any of you out there are roleplayers and might be interested in having a pristine copy of this ship available for future games, let me know in advance and I'll do my best to provide.
