Vesta-Class
 

I was wondering if anyone was working on the Vesta-Class from the latest ships of the line?
I was hoping to include it in my new mod, but i have 0 modelling skills, apart from the odd kitbash

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Images would be helpful.

This video is also very detailed in terms of shape:

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I must say I find the ship very appealing, a few parts I am not fond of. I may at a later date when I get around to doing a Federation side of COE, make my own model and take on the Vesta class.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

When you have the model and textures done, will I be able to use it in my Uncertain Future Mod? All credits will be given of course

Re: Vesta-Class
 

The only in progress that I know of is here. http://bc-central.com/forums/index.p...,6330.460.html

It will have to be poly reduced though ofcourse.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I like the design of that ship the U.S.S. Aventine. I don't know where she's from? Which is her reference on the web?

Re: Vesta-Class
 

The Vesta class starship USS Aventine is captained by Ezri Dax in the DS9 relaunch novels. That's the origin of the design.

:cool:

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Of course! Feel free!

Re: Vesta-Class
 

thanks :)

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I have no doubt it will be awesome Majest.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I realize this is a bit of an older thread, but I am releasing a Vesta class mod for Legacy. I don't do anything for A or A2 but if there are any porters out there who want to bring it to your side of FF, just contact me. It was a lot of work but I am pleased with how it came out. Poly count is reasonable, less than 25k I think.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Magnificent work, Kophjaeger! Thanks for the offer. I can't do much to be of assistance but I'm sure someone would be more than happy to assist with the port. Lovely ship.

:cool:

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Yeah, really nice job. And very nice of you to offer it to us.
I'll let others speak first, as I'm sure someone will snap it up to do the port.
Great job:)

Edit: the poly count will most likely be a problem, however

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Thanks guys. There are probably some easy ways to cut it down.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Yes, a great looking job and done in Milkshape no less. Kudos for a job well done.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

See. I'm not the only one who's worked with higher-than-average poly counts in Milkshape :)

A fine piece of work to say the least.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Hmm... Been a while since I've touched on poly reduction (or much of anything to be honest) but I wouldn't mind seeing what I can get this reduced too if the offer is still standing?

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I've always been a big fan of this class of ship, outstanding work Kophjaeger and thank you for sharing this with the rest of us! :thumbsup:

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I have started my attempt at the reduction. After mostly reconstruction of one of the groups, It has went from 22662 poly to 16816 poly.

If I can have the same success on the rest of the model, she will be great.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Good luck with the poly reductions SciFiFan in the mean time I took a snapshot of how she looks in fleet op's(I have yet to add the glows) :p

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Gimme that ship, I'm sure I can reduce it somehow :D Seriously, if someone would be so kind and send me the MS3D file and textures, I would start to work on with high priority.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I now have her shaved down to 10124 poly.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

I think if someone can get her down to like 2500-3000 that would be an fantastic effort. Well worth a spot in anyone TNG A2 install.

The funny thing is I would do a total rebuild if I was working on it, using the one here as a guide to get proportions and size correct. However if I did that I would want to do new textures to match Aad's however since I can't make textures would be a waste for me like all my other post-TNG models I have done.

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Nice sci-fi fan and dejavu. There were alot of easy vertices to merge I'm sure. If it were any other design, a rebuild would work, but I'm sure these guys can appreciate, she is a strange shaped craft. I've never spent so much time vertex nitpicking. 10k was about the size of the basic model if I recall

Re: Vesta-Class
 

Thanks again kophjaeger(yup she's a beauty alright). ;)
