There will probably be newer versions available at some latter date if needed

Link doesn't seem to work :/

My old thunderbolt was completely useless... way too low detail to recover. I was building a model from the concept shot of what the Thud and just renamed it to the thunderbolt.

Wow.  :jaw: Doesn't really look much like the old 'bolt, but that doesn't matter. :) This is great.

Remember about some detailboxing or something like this. I'm not sure if FSO engine is able to run with dozens of fighters each one with almost 100k polys and multiple textures, no matter how good looking they are :P.

Does detailboxing even worth it on fighters, due to their small size?  Also is it possible to "disable" subsystems, not disabled but temporarily removed from the game?  Removing landing wheels when they're retracted would definitely remove about 12K polys from the game.

It is a hack, but a separate model that doesn't have them could be used, and then 1 second before the animation is triggered, the model could be switched in fred.  So switch models, trigger animation.  or for take off, trigger animation, switch models once the gear is up.  Like I said, it's a hack.
You can't take the sky from me.  Can't take that from me.

Don't bother, such hacks will introduce more problems than they solve. Just give it a small LOD distance for LOD1, and make that LOD more akin to other fighters. That would ensure that the extra detail only appear when you can see them.

Yup that's what I'm basically doing, or at least I think I'm doing.  All that excess detail gets deleted at lod 1.

This looks great. It feels like it could fit into the timeframe of "Arena" and "Collateral Damage". :)

Thunderbolt's wings have been changed.


Also I've been playing around with the textures some more...
Now with a lot less scripting involved and more done with just bevelling and glow layer profiles.  Changes I make to one can easily be applied to others, without having to rerun the entire script. 

The base metal has more of a metal shine, plus is a lot more detailed (thanks due to using a very very large repeatable pattern brush (4000*4000)) and better contrast.

The panel rivets are much smaller and more repeated.  It's easier to apply them and now they're no longer the size of a hand.

Only big thing it really needs now is baked ambient occlusion.

I liked previous Thunderbolt's wings much more. They were far more unique then the blocky ones.
