P81/Rick Knox Enterprise-A

in Freelancer the model is irrelevant for the appearance of maps on it. every model supports light maps. if you have issues most probably these are because you didn’t edit the .mat file as should be. have a look at the archive, at eoa or at digital brilliance for complete tutorials and explanations.

Yes you need to add some channels to your .mat file textures.

Please do a search or Gisteron’s going to take my carrots away if I tell you how.

And… Would you please resize your images smaller, they are way off my screen. Thanks.

Thanks, I can see them now!

Here’s a complete tutorial i wrote years ago about adding lightmaps

if your interested i have a large library if Rick’s star trek models in 3ds format (some also in lwo format)

i have these ones all done by Mr Knox:

Akira
Alita
AMbassador
Araxes
D7
Dauntless
Defiant
Excalibur
Excelsior
Galaxy
Galaxy-X
George W Bush
Intrepid
K17
KBB
KI24
Kvort
Miranda
Nebula
New Orleans
Soveriegn
Star League

Let me know and i can pack em up or something.

can you do some preview images of them? already thinkin about the excalibur or sovereign but would like to know some infos more than what the shape is built after.

ok you asked for it, so here you go (ships not show: dauntless, Galaxy, KI24) :

Star Trek Ships By Rick Knox:

USS Alita:

USS Thunderchild (Akira Class):

USS Ambassador:

USS Araxes:

USS Defiant:

USS Excalibur:

USS Excelsior:

USS Challenger(Galaxy-X Class):

USS George W Bush:

USS Reliant (Miranda Class):

USS Farragut (Nebula Class):

USS Kyushu (New Orleans Class):

USS Enterprise E (Sovereign Class):

USS Star League:

Klingon D7:

here is a couple i did a bit kitbashing to:

USS Thunderchild (Akira Upgrade):

USS Enterprise E (Sovereign X Class):

for some reason a couple of them are not showing properly so here is links to them:

Sovereign X:

do we see modeled plating on the sovereign class or are the one-side shaders textured like that? if that’s really modeled i’m interested (tried to do it based on a different model, turned out pretty non-cannon)

no the plating is not modeled, that is just some great texture work by Rick.

Also just to note that they all have all of the glow maps as well, they are not rendered in the pics because Ray Tracing and HDR rendering makes them major bright and hard to see the underlying textures.

That is the reason i actually have these models. We were working on a FL TC of star trek back in the day Called: Star Trek Legacy. But one thing after another and it never got done.
