    The survival/revival of this thread amazes me. :)

    Well some of us are just getting in from the last mission. Hey, very nice job!!

    Is there any way I could get hi-res orthos of your Valkyrie to put on my professional CGI Blueprints. See what I mean below...

    All the interest and responses recently have spured me to do an unwrap of my Valkyrie. The Girl needed a new paint job.:D

    Um.... It looks like it was left out in the rain for 10 years while birds shat on it. I think the paint is a bit, noisy? is the term. the colours look great, but the whole mesh now looks far too busy.

    I kind of thought so too, most of my textures are pritty bleh so I wanted a little more punch. Guesse a little too much though.

    i rather like it.

    also, thats how a battlestar thats been in a few minor fights would probably look.
    great job infinity.

    now, how about some orthos for the loyal fans of this ship?

    Render it up in a proper scene and it may look perfect. :)

    Infinity, since you're on my team for the Galactica video if you'd like you can toss your unwraps my way and I can see if I cant throw together a primer base map for you so it doesnt look so busy.

    It might also have been the lighting I used.

    Wow Justin, that looks great. Almost like the TV episode, except the sun is yellower (who gives a frak, the model looks perfect! )

    I know i asked before, but nobody replied.

    I know the Valkyrie is a much newer battlestar, but is it smaller or bigger than Galactica?
  • JustinDixonJustinDixon0 Posts: 0Member
    Smaller. Quite a bit smaller actually.
  • JDRJDR0 Posts: 0Member
    About half as big in fact.

    technically her size is conjectural, but general consensus is that she's much smaller than Pegasus, and a bit smaller than Galactica. This is based mainly around her flight pod design, smaller CIC, and the number/arrangements of her engine pods. The guns could also be a tip, but since they seem to be missile turrets or some sort of hybrid, as opposed to the other Battlestars' dedicated KEWS, we can't really use them for sizing. All we know "officially" is that she's more modern and a more "prestigious" command than the much older Galactica in the modern Colonial Navy.

    trust me, its half as long as Galactica. Its a very small battlestar.
  • JustinDixonJustinDixon0 Posts: 0Member
    Yeah; JDR is correct. if you look at screencaps from the show; the KEW weapons that the ship has are much smaller; you can base them mainly from the missile pods on their sides versus the size of the missile themselves; then roughly estimate that compared to galacticas via the "cockpit" that the guns on Galactica have then subtract that versus the size of galactica estimated by ratio.

    I think I just confused myself.

    smaller CIC

    that isn't right, the valkyrie CIC set was just a repaint of the pegasus CIC

    It was a repaint with the walls reconfigured to make it a bit smaller.
