ok, I'll try to see what I can do with those. But first I want to finish high poly-ing the Danaus. I might even finish it today.

Woomeister:create a list with the models that could be HTL;

SLICK2K6:The Danaus,uh? Please post a link when you have completed it(obvious reasons)!

[Dysko]

I have Google SketchUp too, but I can't model spaceships

Woomeister:create a list with the models that could be HTL

Well there is already a list for INF:A
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,40690.0.html

There's over 150 ships for INF SCP, so I'm not doing a list for that now.

[Mobius]

New modellers of the team should know which models have to be re-made or they could waste their time with something already done or scrapped.

[Woomeister]

Well usually the modellers are interested in doing specific ships, they tell me what ones, and I say if it's done or isn't used anymore. If we need it then they make it.

If SlickWhatever makes a completely new Herc3, will it replace the old one? I REALLY LIKED THE OLD ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you make it the same as the lo-poly one...

[Woomeister]

If it's too different it can't be used.

[Mobius]

Actually I don't think he will create new design, he will just make HTL versions of models we can see.

[Snail]

Here is a list of Inferno ships I plan to re-model:

GTF Vesuvius*
GTB Danaus
GTF Hercules III*
GTF Alves
EAB Gagana
GTB Ursa II
GTB Notus*
GTB Jotun

*COMPLETE redesign…

EDIT: a couple of the above ships weren't even in R1, but I saw them in the "Glory shots" thread.

Since the Vesuvius is scrapped, that's no problem, but even if it was I'd be happy since the design and everything was horrible. The Herc III is one of my favourite ships, plus, it does actually have a sort of resemblance to the older three (Ares) designs. The original and second generation Hercs had a little spike on the underside, the Herc III has that. You can see the Herc III's resemblance to the Ares, which is good. The Herc III, in my opinion, is a great next-gen Hercules. Redesigning the Notus is a very bad idea since it was in the Volition concept art, making it more... 'authentic' than any other fan-made design. However, redesigning the Notus' maps would also be a good idea IMO since they look a bit weird currently.

[Mobius]

Uh why you don't add more turrets to the Notus?

The Vesuvius has been scrapped? When?

[SLICK2K6]

Ok, dont worry I'm not going to go crazy and re-design anything without permission, I was just making a suggestion, and I had no Idea that the Vesuvius had been scrapped anyway. So... Im guessing that the Ezechiel will replace it? I hope so, because that ship is awesome! it looks great, and I dont even think a higher poly version is needed. Im about 90% done with the Danaus, I will post a picture and the file soon. Rather than modeling it from scratch, (which I wish I had done) I imported the old pof to as a cob, then exported it to 3DS, then imported it to sketchup, and I am trying to add details, armor plating, etc, without affecting it too much. but its hard because  few of the faces are actually true rectangles, the entire model seems to be a collection of jumbled triangles. But I will post it as soon as Im done.

[Woomeister]

Uh why you don't add more turrets to the Notus?

The Vesuvius has been scrapped? When?

That would be counted as breaking the model, as I would have to scrap the non HTL one and change the tables

It was scrapped early after R1.5


Snail I already changed the Notus maps when I last redid the model. They're far better quality than the original Notus maps


The Ezechiel is a HTL model, so it would be pointless to redo it. The Mihos replaces the Vesuvius as the primary fighter you start with.

[Mobius]

With the Vesuvius scrapped, Inferno is less 'Italian'.

The Ezechiel is a better design, without a doubt. Its HTL must be even better!

[SLICK2K6]

Here is my HTL Danaus:


Comments? Questions? Suggestions?

Also, here is the RAR file containing it in sketchup and 3ds format.

That 3ds seems to be perfect, TS seems to have no issues with it, good job

[Woomeister]

Danaus test version

[SLICK2K6]

Looks good! Maybe you could change the maps to show the armored and set-in places a little more, (and of course add that cockpit) but other than that it looks great. Could someone upload the cockpit model? then I could add it while modeling and save you some trouble. BTW, I just started working on the Tyr.

[Woomeister]

I can't change the maps, I'm not good with textures
I'll do the cockpit once it's done, I have to customise the cockpit for each ship anyway and then I have to attach it to the final mesh.

[SLICK2K6]

I know I'm probably modeling ships faster than you can convert and edit them... but... Here is the htl Tyr:


As always, any feedback is appreciated.
