- Introduction:
-
- **********************************
-
-
-
- Well, here I am and I have no idea what to write, so I'll just get to the
-
- point.
-
- Babylon 5 is by far my favourite TV show, and so it's only a logical choice
-
- that I decieded to recreate some of the ships from the show in the form of
-
- 3D Models. I did this before with a few released 3DStudio models (e.g. the
-
- Raider Fighter), and a new bunch of models is soon to be finished. The reason
-
- for this is simple, I bought LightWave 3D, and its modeling tools are exactly
-
- what I needed to get a little more creative.
-
- Here is the result of some of my modeling activities, the Narn's Frazi Class
-
- Heavy Fighter from Babylon 5, as seen in "Revelations". It is the second
-
- LightWave model I built, so it's far from perfect, but I still think it's
-
- good enough to be released.
-
- I hope you will like it. :)

-
- The object should be placed in the "Newtek/Objects/Babylon5/Narn" folder,
-
- the maps in the "Newtek/Images/Babylon5/Narn" folder and the scene into
-
- "Newtek/Scenes/Babylon5/Narn".

-
- About the model:
-
- **********************************
-
-
-
- The model took me only about one afternoon to complete, plus a little extra
-
- time for the texturemaps. First of all I want to credit Mateen Greenway, his
-
- 3DS model was a valuable reference during the first phase of construction.
-
- Secondly I need to thank my VCR, through constant slow-mo winding and
-
- rewinding it enabled me to figure out many of the details and "nurnies" of
-
- the ship, which are now pretty accurate in my model. Last but not least I
-
- want to thank all the people who sent me some pics when I had none, thanks
-
- folks, you know who you are! :)
-
-
-
- I think it's sufficiently accurate and detailed, if you have any ideas how I
-
- could improve the model then feel free to contact me. I don't mind if you
-
- modify the model, as long as you don't distribute that version. Other than
-
- that you are free to use it, and if you use it in pictures or animations I'd
-
- really like to see what you did with it. :)
