This is my second attempt at recreating the Brakiri ship from the
excellent sci-fi show Babylon 5. This model took me many hours of work to
perfect, but "Metaform" did most of the work for me. :) In creating this
object, I used several movies available on the Internet from "Shadow
Dancing." I am told that it also made an appearance in "Ship of Tears,"
although I didn't have any of those scenes to work from. Also of great
help was a frame that Foundation Imaging made available on their ftp site.
We must all thank them for a job well done!
Files that should be in this archive:
BRAKIRI.TXT This text file
BC-Fin_Map.IFF Imagemap for fin
BC-Spec_Map.IFF Specularity & Diffusion map for model
The following files will differ depending on the distribution you get:
Brakiri_Cruiser.LWO Lightwave object file
Brakiri_Cruiser.LWS Lightwave scene file
Brakiri_Cruiser.3DS 3D Studio object file
Brakiri_Cruiser.DXF Autocad ASCII DXF file
What has changed in this version of the model:
Although the original model had few details, I have strived to make
this one more accurate than the last. First off, the "struts" joining the
front and the rear of the model have been resized along half of their
length. The merging of those same struts into the bridge has been adjusted
to reflect the real model's appearance. The upper and lower wings have
been resized, as have the yellow stripes across them. The guns have been
resized and redesigned to look like the model in the series. Finally, I
have recreated the symbol from the top fin of the Brakiri vessel, and
applied it to my own model. This settles most of my problems with the
model - if there are more you think I should address, contact me.
Feel free to make changes to the object but please do not distribute
the modified model. If you think your changes would improve the model as a
whole, please e-mail me and tell me what you've done. You may also use
this object in your own scenes, but tell me if you make them publicly
available. Thank you.
I would like to thank Evelio Perez-Albuerne, who pointed out the name of
this ship, when I was unaware of it. I would also like to thank Dean Scott
for giving advice, allowing me to use his disclaimers, and generally
inspiring many Babylon 5 fans to create models of our own.
