Hey Stress, you snuck in a picture while I was writing...

VERY cool.  But I can't see from that angle what you mean by the lighting being weird.  From what I can see the color scheme is got that weird Klingon Green to it just right. 

Redundant posting? Try editing post next time

Anyways i figured it out it was a tangent problem. I made the mistake of remapping the duplicate set of UV's (the tangents) top down instead of leaving them alone. Left alone model works fine.

Normal maps dont really show on this model cause the textures arent exactly "high res". Tho the whole sheet is 1500(something)x1024. I didnt make the model and i dont know who did, but they use a ton of low res textures. I just merged them onto one sheet and re-mapped the model.

I am not the only one who noticed that lately even the vanilla sins ships dont show normals that well since the 1.15/1.02 update.

Heres a shot of the fixed model

damn looks so cool., thats the trading station yes? its perfect!

can u post also the starbase? will it look like in armada 2?

Whats with the fascination of the armada series? Both A1, and 2 were crap imo in art, design, and gameplay. Some of the worst trek artwork i have seen is in armada, and SFC 3. Dont get me started on Legacy. Between cardassians that are nothing more than scaled up, or down galors, or lets bolt on another nacelle, and call it a new class of ship. To the idiotic "bird beak" romulan starbase of sfc 3. The "professional" games non canon art is uninspired, boring, and in some cases like the SFC 3 rommie starbase outright stupid. Its any wonder the people that made those games could be called professionals. I an amateur, and i do better work. My past models speak for themselves. Even the 3rd party work in the mod has a little of me in it through mesh corrections, optimizations, and some re-texturing. I demand better. Sure the tygokor station i posted above is not up to my standard, but it is a canon station (DS-9 Apocalypse Rising). It will be re-built later after the gameplay work is finished. As will all of the other models.

I have said b4 i wont use anything from armada except maybe borg, but Loki is becoming an experienced modeler in his own right. So we will soon have original borg works.

Our rommie starbase will be unique. Atra made an outstanding design that is both inspired, and veers from the traditional "everything romulan must be shaped like a bird" nonsense. Dont expect bird shaped tankers and civilian craft ether.

The Klingon SB is a 3rd party original work (i think. shimmer picked the model out). I havent seen it in any sfc series. It is kinda sfc 3 style. I personally dont like it, but shimmer does.

Yea the forums are screwing up yet again.

Its a conversion from KA Stress.

Beta testers, online beta test coming real soon, all must attend! details to follow soon. start clearing out your weekend schedule!

Pretty....

yaaaaaah multiplayer online test,    btw nice station

WOOOOT

KA FTW.

KickAss ?

Have you been living in a cave?!

KA= Klingon Academy. One of the "few" Professional trek games that is actually worth something. Way ahead of its time in 2000's standards. Pity new hardware doesnt run it that well. KA, and SFC 1, and 2 were designed by taldren. IMO the only "professionals" that got it right. While "technically" Taldren had a hand in SFC 3. It was Activision calling the shots, and pulling the strings. Since they were the publishers of Armada, and Armada 2 no wonder SFC 3 was a polished turd.

The SoA 2 Klingon starbase was made by a 3rd party author for KA, and is an original work.

Right now the forums gotten much more better, I remember June 2, when they update it, post won't show up even if people had already posted to them, had to even post 'post to see other response' rofl

I was barely even 5 when KA was launched in 2000, no wonder I haven't heard of it

you really........... really.......................................................... , just really,............................. have no idea!!!!
