Yea, when I flipped the image, I flipped it on the wrong axis. haven't gotton around to correcting it.

The Boron Orca (TL) definitely has its own model. I own two of them, and they seem to have significantly wider back ends (and skinnier front ends) than the other two Boron capital ships.

Amazing work!!!, reminds me of the Startrek charts which finally showed me how enormous a Romulan Warbird was compared to a Galaxy-class.

I've moved the rest of my reply to it's own topic, otherwise there could be treathhijacking or 'here we go again' feelings.

Thumbs up for this effort!

Why is one of the teladi ships blurry compared to the others? cant you just take the pic at the same distance then no correction would be necessary

szuur · Post by **szuur** » Wed, 7. Dec 05, 12:52

i think that schip is to big to get that picture from the same distance like the other teladi carrier.
maybee someone with a wide screen can take the picture.

since u are working perspective u can't just take a pic of teh front end and strafe to the backsie and take a sec pic

It would be nice if you could make 2 pictures. One as the one you making now, and a second with another scale and put maybe M6 as biggest ship to compare with, and then all the M3's, M4's and M5's. Just a suggestion.

That's a good idea.

The intentions are to have 3 pages of ships. Cap ships page, which is almost complete. this page will also have an M3, M4 M5 and the M6's for size comparison.

A fighter page, with M3-M6.

And a TS/TP page showing the scales of the freighters.

As for the Teladi Phoenix, I am either going to rescale the ships and use her as the main, that way I can keep it the same reolution, and get rid of the crap look it has now since I had to blow it up so much to match, or, try and take 2 shots of it, and merge them. However, this may present some perspective problems. X3 has a fisheye view, which is noticable when looking at planets at the edge of the screen...they turn into eggs, and ships tend to warp as well.

As it stand right now, the scale is such, the ship size you see is as if it were being viewed at 1.6km. If I rescale everything to make the Phoenix as the main, the distance will be as if they were 2.53km. Which may result in loss of detail on the smaller caps. That's not what I want.

Going to do some research tonight and find out the best way to tackle this, and keep the ships looking good, while still remaining accurate.

Your current image looks fantastic, but your JPG compression has started to cause artifacts.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think people would care if the image turned out to be a few megabytes to download, because it's that good

Totally agree with that. I would love an uncompresses TIFF or similar for poster printing.

Sounds great. And it is already great work you have done so far.

The image on the first page is just a quick "reference" if you will. Updated whenever I make a change. There is also a rar file, hosted by NZ-Wanderer, which has the "Hi-Res" image and is about a 2.5 meg rar, 3+ uncompressed. The rar just may not be as up to date as the lower quality image on page 1. The rar can be found on his website http://www.nzscenery.com/x3-reunion.html

Edit: Correction, it is a rar file

Getting a 404 on that page scoochy.

Fascinating, as I am looking at it right now

Fixed link, there was a lone period at the end.

The sixe of the cargoes is way out of proportion. A super freighter can carry roughly 20% of a TLs load, while appearing to be 1/1000th of the size.
