    After modeling the Brakiri Cruiser from Babylon 5, I decided to try my

hand at yet another ship that hasn't been modeled, until now, the Centauri

Fighter.  This ship is the single most beautiful fighter craft I've seen to

date in the show.  This model took me several tries to get "correct."  I

never would have completed the model were it not for some excellent

pictures that Foundation Imaging released onto the internet.



Files that should be in this archive:



    Centauri_Fighter.TXT        This text file

    Centauri_Fighter.JPG        A rendered frame from the included scene

    Centauri_Fighter_Wing.IFF   Image map for the wing surface



The following files will differ depending on the distribution you get:


    Centauri_Fighter.LWO        Lightwave model

    Centauri_Fighter.LWS        Lightwave scene file

    Centauri_Fighter.3DS        3D Studio model

    Centauri_Fighter.DXF        Autocad DXF model

    Centauri_Fighter.REF        Reflections model




    I've included as many details and fiddled with the proportions of the

model until it looked nice.  The length of the wing, from front to back, is

a little out of proportion.  In addition, the cockpit is a little tall and

wide, out of proportion of the original ship.  If anyone has additional

pictures of the fighter from the rear or bottom, I would appreciate the use

of those pictures to tweak the model further.



    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 e-mail me if you make them publicly

available.  Thank you.
