I'd like you to give me an idea of what should be changed to make it more what you want, is the line pattern Ok? would to like it to be more detailed? Like I said, the textures you see are only templates. They don't have the bump maps or lighting the final textures will.

EDIT-I'm afraid that the picture I put up is already outdated. I have begun to add details to the basic model. There are now reproductions of the Light blasters on each of the lower wings, and windscreens where the cabin is. I've run into a problem here. The wraith graviton beam isn't a visible weapon. It is just a progection that comes from the wraith's arms/wings? It would look dumb if I put wraith arms/wings? on the bottom of the ship don't you think? What do you want me to do about it?

Can you render that model again? Everything is black and I can barely tell that it's not one shape.

Are you sure? It looked Ok for me. The light is at its maximum intensity. Make sure the light on your monitor is not turned down. I'll go try adding some extra lights.

Perhaps if you gave it some specular.

I've replaced the old pict with a lighter one, I hope. It also includes the windscreens and guns.

(blackhole will keep editing Zaku's posts until Zaku either learns to write properly or gets karma-slapped to Polaris and back)

Okay, the center cannon should be longer, and I thought of a thing for the sides; They should be the V-shape of the manta on the end of the wings. I think that you should make another copy of the bio-relay laser to come out of those side cannons.
I think that will be better than the stupid old ones.

The cannon that looks like it is in the middle is a light blaster reproduction, It is actually on the wing. I guess I put those to high. What exactly do you mean by "manta V-shape on the wing tips?" I'm afraid that the bio-relay laser is also a projection that comes from poloris ships. It has no real look of its own. I think I'll leave the side cannons as they are, only a little bit lower. If you want the light blasters to fire bio-relay lasers, talk to zhouj, He is doing the plug.

What I really want to know, is what you would like done to the green glowing lines (they aren't glowing in the pic I gave.) could you please give me an idea what you want there?

Plazma cannon?

I see what you mean by manta front now. That will devinently be divicult. But I'll try anyway. It might not look good so consider yourself warned. You still haven't told me what you think of the green lines. I need to know how to impliment those in the final texture map.

I'm a little confused. Take your time in answering and try to read everything.
Do you like the line arangement as it is now? I need to know that so I can add ambient lighting and finnal textures. What do you mean by plasma cannon. If you mean medium blaster, no problem, but I need to know what you really want first.

I'm also sending this through email to you.
Edit-I forgot, my email might not be working, don't be surprised if the email never reaches you.

How about a medium blaster, I can't make a wraith beam, I't doesn't exist. I'm going to Imagine what a bio relay laser looks like and model that for the sides. The middle will be a wraithi cannon. Those are cool looking. The I can add the glow, but the flashing part will be up to Zhouj, unless some-one can explain to me how to do it.

Captain Phillips: For undertaking this task for Zaku, I praise you with great praise.

Have you looked at this ship in the 3/4 top-down view that it will have as a sprite, though? Perhaps you should post such a view, or send it to Zaku. I'm concerned that the ship's shape might be hard to make out, especially when such a dark ship is reduced to fighter size and placed against the blackness of space.

Zaku: Glowing lines might be possible for Phillips and Zhouj to do, if they want to put in that much effort. Be careful not to ask for too many more little changes, though -- you don't want to frustrate these nice people who are helping you!

Thanks

I understand that problem, that is one of my concerns. My computer is giving me problems so I can't play Nova right now, could somebody give me an idea how ATMOS kept that from happening with the mata? If they used the glowing lines it won't be hard, There's enough of those on the wings. My primary concern right now is the cockpit windows. Those are a pain in the neck to place, and from the top 3/4 view, both of them need to look exactly alike, otherwise I'll ruin a pretty good ship.

My guess is that Zaku wants the beam itself to be purple (if I'm right, in effect he's asking Zhouj to make a custom weapon resource). I think Phillips can probably make the "adult wraith beam gun" -- the thing that fires the purple beam -- look any way he wants. Is that right, Zaku?

I thought Nova already had an adult wraith beam?

I can't guarantee that I'm interpreting him correctly, of course.... I have no special calling to be Speaker for the Zaku. The Zaku must speak for Himself.
