Sir_Pro_View · 01-04-2004, 02:30 PM

I asked him the same question Voices. Its not lightwaves layout its a skin for Windows XP I found it but I can't seem to get it to work on my system.

voices3d · 01-04-2004, 03:58 PM

a friend told me some hour ago, you can use the StyleXP program.

Sir_Pro_View · 01-04-2004, 05:35 PM

is that a program you download or is it build into xp that I don't know about?

simple · 01-04-2004, 07:44 PM

Well all i can say is thats totally impressive, am kinda new to lightwave and that tells me what its capable of.

Although i think i`ll wait till my computers a bit better, hehe.

I HATE to crit an awsome peice of work but its just a little one. It looks like you have paint chips on the bare metal surfaces of the ship. I dont think the SF,s were really painted except for striping and numbers. Also the Earthforce logo is turquise or a sort of green with a yellow boarder. I have one in my display case. Yours is just beautiful!

Thanks guys, I have two of the plastic SF kits myself. The logo you are correct about, all you see at the moment is the alpha for the logo, I haven't painted it on the colour map (I forgot actually and realised the other day too!).

As for the paintedness of them, well I don't know, I kind of follow the theory and principles of fighter jets, where they are painted grey or what have you (I assume?!), and there for make the claim that SF's would also be painted for some kind of protective purpose. Dunno for sure though heh.

Cheers!

Yeah it really hard to say in the world of SF vehicles of what its textures or colours were suppost to be compared to what we interpit them as, only the creators have the answers. Are you using Photoshop for the surfacing? Ive never tried it yet.

these are awesome! Great job!

I'm going through the entire B5 saga on netflix right now. these images are not far from the real thing.

It seems like every LW user pays homage to B5 at some point.

I'm working on a model that requires chipped, peeling paint... how did you get the chipping on the hull? Or suggestions from anyone would be helpful...

Nice model...liked the redesign to your site. Loved the LAAT/i model, probably my favourite from SW. Don't suppose you would do a tute on that one
