resizing models is the easiest thing in the frakking world

    Okay, it's basically finished. Not too fantastic, but it's only my first model so what the hell.
    Now I just need to figure out UV Mapping, texturing and LODing and POFing or whatever else there is. I've UV mapped/textured before but it was just a cube (dice). So, this is obviously a bit tougher. I tried to get some more pics with the simple lighting setup but Maya crashed two times in a row so I thought screw it.

Again, this looks really good.  Reminds me of BengalTiger's ships.  It really seems to have the Vasudan fell, which is sometimes difficult to achieve.  keep up the good work.

For me it's a mix of Cylon Raider and GVF Serapis

Great work. You solved the cockpit problem really well

An interesteing and well made model from what I see. Now slam some textures on it ^_^

    Yeah, soon as I figure out how. Might start looking into that today after my class.
    Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I apologize for the massive bump, but I'm looking for something I could use as a medium Vasudan fighter and this would fit the bill magnificently.

I'm just curious as to whether or not any progress has been made on it? It's a really wondrous design, one of the few player-made Vasudan fightercraft I really adore.

Hmmn. It's done except for the debris LOD which I never quite finished.
Maybe I'll look at finally getting this thing done . . .

Here's an image of the textured model btw: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/GVF_Anouke

I'm sure quite a few people noticed that, scrolled down to the bottom of the page and were disappointed at the complete and utter dearth of any download links.

To me, the nose/head/whatever looks awefully like that on the Nahema...

Edit: haha you said "dearth"

[Akalabeth Angel]

Yeah. Well I intended to have it done quite quickly and in addition work on some other Vasudan fighter models but that never materialised due to lack of interest on my part. I'll see if I can't get this debris thing finished by the end of the week.

That was probably intentional on my part. The challenge of any modeller is to create a design which is both unique and is an aesthetic fit with existing designs.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Ok, question:

I thought I had this bookmarked somewhere, but regarding damage and debris: I am supposed to copy the original texture, probably reduce size 50% and then add a "damaged" texture like damage.pcx to that and reference all appropriate faces to that part of the map while I scour and mark up the remaining texture for the other debris pieces, is that correct???

[blowfish]

More or less ... ideally though, you can find an empty chunk of the original UVmap to place the damage texture into.

Hey finally finished the fighter:

Model and all Game/POF data by Akalabeth Angel
Textures by Freespaceking

Model Includes:
All LODs, Debris and game information that I am aware of. Textures have glowmaps, shinemaps, normal maps etcetera. Thruster points, weapon points, eyepoints, gas trails, docking points, etcetera and so on . . .

One odd thing though is that when I was fixing the docking point, apparently I have the support ship dock nose to nose, or, it faces the opposite direction of the fighter rather than the same direction. I'm not 100% sure how to fix this and I'm busy with other matters like finding a job so I'll leave it. It's a bit odd but it works so whatever.

[Rodo]

a new model to play with, excelent!
