But seriously, I haven't forgotten about the tutorial. Users of TrueSpace 3D can rest easy. Some more of the tutorial will be posted on Saturday! Are the warp domes next or Engineering? Read more this weekend to find out! Don't give up! Starships await those who prevail!
And the award for innovation in the use of the word "bussards" goes to Eric. :devil:
okay, incredably stupid question, but how the heck to you inset images? I tried in my tut, and all I got where links. Did it once, can't seem to do it again.

I post the images on my website and then note the URL. Over here, you just click the image icon in the Advanced version of the reply box and type in the URL (or paste it) and you have an inset image!

How long did you stay up thinking (bussards) this one through? (bussards)
Well, I wasn't awake the whole time, but about from the time I read Eric's post with the BUSSARDS to when I posted. Even then, I was still making it up as I went. :devil:

Lamentably, my evil powers mostly lean towards world domination, weapons of mass destruction, torture methodology, small arms combat and the likes. So, for simple stuff like this, I usually have to think a little. :devil:
Do you guys remember when this thread was about Eric showing all us humble peon's (geniuses included:D ) how to build the Constiturion class Starship? I wonder whatever happened to that, hmmmm Eric?

Eric? Who's Eric? Boy, you guys sure like them shiny lights ...
This seems like a reasonable place to ask. Does anyone have the correct RGB values for the hull color of the TOS Connies?
Seems like I read somewhere that the original studio model was painted with GM automotive primer. I don't know how many different shades of gray are available, but I bet if you looked up the RGB values for that paint it would come pretty close.
The model I'm making in Cinema 4D actually has a white hull, but with the specularity map and lighting it looks more like 127-127-127 Gray (50%).
OK, I know I'm skipping ahead here, but I'm a little stuck in my own build. The part I have circled on these pics has a little indentation into the hull that smoothes out into the engineering section. However, every time I try to accomplish this, I wind up with mesh distortions out the butt. How did you do this part on your model without said errors? Or did you do it differently?
I'm about to do something that's different than Alan's plans. It's more in line with the prints by Franz Joseph and the ones in Star Trek: The Magazine where there is no indentation. On the 3D model and plans in Star Trek: The Magazine, that part is flat but flush with the hull. I might just save myself a headache and do it that way, unless you have any sage-like advice on how to do this indentation nicely.

You can probably also do it with PHP tags.
Damn, son, that's pretty funny!

:flippy:
That depends on whether said genius realizes that it's not so much the tools but rather how one uses them. :devil:

LOL!
Not when it comes to TS is doesn't.
Seriously though we should stop the bs'ing and wait for an update.
bs'ing? Is that short for Bussarding?
*Sorry. Couldn't help myself. I'm under the control of some genius who is Evil.*
I've started writing the Busssards tutorial.
Could it be true? Oh joyous day...:runs:

It's even got a JPEG of some color chips of what matches over spray on old drawings of the ship used by the builders.
