    Another update, I am still working on the crew and the starship before I go back to modifying the bridge. I am still working on the effects for the lighting on Khambatta and even using parts from Greywolf's models to make some Phase II variants of some Starships.  Not to mention the antagonist's bridge (I am still trying to do modifications for that since it is supposed to be an older ship but also more powerful than the Khambatta and other Starfleet ships). Uniforms are Nvent3D's Trailblazer, 2270 and Yorktown uniforms which I think are awesome to use.

    I really like the look and style for this.

    There are several things in the works right now in connection with my next- and last- Nova Trek. This is one of them. The viewports and room dividers of the 1701-E and different from the "D"'s. So I'm building a set for crew and guests.

    It'll be welcome I am sure, Madison.

    You say however this will be your last, any plans for a new series?

    I do have stories written concerning a totally new series. But I haven't decided yet if they'll be graphic novels or just prose. They're sci-fi, but non-Trek though.

    Nova Trek was always designed with a definate beginning and a definate end and we've reached that point.

    Thanks Cath, Gruaro made the model because I asked for it.  :)

     

    As for these forums, please do not get me started... or the word filter that has been incorporated will be doing overtime...

    I had to unsubscribe from all but this thread, as my inbox suddenly exploded... 45 mails for 28 posts in two threads, talk about 'bleeding' ridiculous.

    Gee is that all you got? I got something like 148 of them in a second! Found that subscribe section and unchecked everything. I am not sure I want to check emails today.

    Have to find a way to joke about all this ... maybe not today though.

    My thanks to Gruaro as well ... can never have enough K ships wink

     

    ......................

    Apparently "all" first posts cannot be edited. Apparently there was a notice somewhere.

    There is a way to get some of the old links to normal forum threads fixed by changing a few words in the url.

    Sometimes I do things 'cause of some weird feeling which I know is right but don't know why obviously, feelings don't talk ... which is good right now ... but just as a "whatever" I did happen to save those pages for the last forum's link lists. But in looking over the pages they were really odd ... while I had been viewing the previous forum's page when saving them, what was saved was half and half ... had the new "longer" names on people's avatars and the page colour etc was new forum.

    Think I'm getting a headache again.

    Madison I'll see if I can find my DVD for First Contact ... in the other movie, just watched E get driven into an exploding mess ... the only corridor scene was so bad that it's hard to tell which ship it was.

     

     

    Patience, this is the corridor I'm talking about. These screencaps are from "First Contact" by way of Trek Core: As you can see, there's a definate shape to it that the Voyager corridor doesn't have.

    ? I got the images [and also from my DVD] but did you take them off because right now today they are not showing at all with your post.

    ? I've also noticed that many attached images on various posts have these HUGE numbers as "names" ...

    So if pics are going to be going awol and numbered uncontrollably, we'll have to be taking this into consideration when posting.

    Can you link to a post where there is a huge number on it, so we know what you mean please?

    There is an announcement at the top of the forum explaining the images which were attached to posts since the new site launched, IE 7th July, have gone awol and will need to be replaced.. Those from the old forum, or which were inserted as images should be showing now.

    I did not remove them. Someone else must have for probably no reason whatsoever.

    Edit: Just did a quick check and it looks like all the pictures posted since this new forum nightmare went into effect have disappeeared except for the ones posted last night and this morning. Has Daz imposed somekind of time-limit on the picture posts without telling us?

    Not that I'm aware of ... some photos appear to still be around [or perhaps were replaced already] BUT the site DID crash last night. Was getting funky messages about their M server and/or Cloud service ... and even those pages were not loading correctly, plastered on top of what was already showing in my browser ... did notice some greyed text about "how to fix this" [like I know?!] .... nightmare good word. Was in the middle of link editing ...

    Weren't the Ent-E quarters just redress of the Voyager crew quarters as well?  So you could use them for both.

    So not quite then. They must have done more to them than redress them like Memory Alpha says.

    Memory Alpha has a lot of info- a lot of good info- but some times, they do get it wrong- or at least incomplete.

    Even ex-astris gets it wrong at times, nobody is perfect and there's a lot of rumors going around still.

  • patience55patience55 Posts: 7,006

    Okay Chohole.

  • mdbruffymdbruffy Posts: 2,345

    This is true. Even Paramount doesn't get it right all the time.

    Okay, another update and a slight problem. I'm sure everyone will notice the gold colored insert in the room divider. That is my second insert. The first one was one of those pieces that comes out streaked when it renders- and only when it renders. This did the same thing. Walls, floor, support beams- I sampled screencaps for the colors.

    Looks good, madison. Streaks, those occur when there's too many tri's gathering in one place, isn't it? I often see those on windows of car models, especially since DS likes tri's even less.

    I think so, but in this case, there aren't any. This is the UV map for the insert:

    Okay ... it is not finished but it is basically set up with a place for everything.

    I can manage having ST in 2 places if everybody wants to.

    The link list which is editable is Here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/58973/star-trek-builders-unite-7-cm-re-booted-link-list

    I realize that some have undergone name changes ... IF you want a name change made on the list that is no problem.

    If you start to make a post, then change your mind before you type anything, how  do you close the window?  I tried 5 times to close this  thing and finally had to type something to close it.

    You're right! The "cancel" button is missing! It is there when editing a post. Could erase the whole thing I guess and just type something else altogether.

    If you start to make a post, then change your mind before you type anything, how  do you close the window?  I tried 5 times to close this  thing and finally had to type something to close it.

    Okay ... it is not finished but it is basically set up with a place for everything.

    I can manage having ST in 2 places if everybody wants to.

    The link list which is editable is Here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/58973/star-trek-builders-unite-7-cm-re-booted-link-list

    I realize that some have undergone name changes ... IF you want a name change made on the list that is no problem.

    No need. I assume they'll get it untangled someday...

    The problem is fixed. I still don't know what caused it. I had to break the insert into two sections in order to get an obj that wasn't messed up. At least now, I can move on to the rest of it.
