The Definitive Typhon
I'll let these speak for themselves.













Model by RagingLoli, POF and textures by yours truly.

Re: The Definitive Typhon
Awesome. When you putting it on the SVN so I can test/go over the pof/etc? :D

Also, are you making an up-gunned version for mods? There's at least two prominent mods I know of that'd be using it.

Holy crap that's good. This ship just went from "ugly amorphous blobby thing" to "sexiest vasudan ship".

(Small gripe about low-res texturing on the orange/purple spotty texture on the rudders)

The quick-and-dirty test POF I made seems to work well, so, quite soon. You'll be glad to hear that detail boxing, turrets, LODs, and new debris are all up and running. All that needs doing is the textures, and I'm working on those myself.

I'll need a copy of the up-gunned Typhon POF you're referring to to be certain, but it looks like RagingLoli modeled in about a dozen more little blisters on the hull that I'm sure are meant to be those turrets. I'll be happy to make the up-gunned model the MediaVPs standard and just leave those turrets tabled out, much like the claw beams on the sides of the Lucifer POF.

There's a lot of work left on the textures; many places still need shaping on the tilemaps to help them hug the curves of the hull better, and there's weathering effects and unique details I'd like to implement in places. Then there's shine and normal maps to worry about, so expect this to be done about the same time as the Colossus and Sathanas.

Re: The Definitive Typhon
The Typhon was always one of my favorite designs. This model looks really awesome.

But I don't like the vasudan turtle-plating textures on it. It looks more like a refit version (e.g. with better armor) with these textures plugged on.

But all the rest is just :yes: :yes: :yes:

Re: The Definitive Typhon
There is a minor problem.  It existed in the retail model and it exists in this gawgeos one as well.  The ends of the "arms" just sort of stop, like the rest of the "arm" was cut off and it's just FLAT.  IMO, this needs to be addressed.

As it stands it is pretty, but the arms are glaring at me all the time.
So as through a glass, and darkly

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Re: The Definitive Typhon
Amazing, finally a proper HTL Typhon.
After two failed attempts (Trashman's was just bad and Esarai's got way off the original design) this one is one of the best HTL Vasudan ships.
Scales don't look good on it though. They're a strictly FS2 Vasudan design element and I'd prefer them to stay that way.
Arms seem flat at the end, but in fact, they're recessed.

They are? Then what about the Aten then? :p

Re: The Definitive Typhon
And the Thoth?

Only problem I got with the awesome thing is the grey. Is that one of the things you mentioned that are left to do with the texture?

Re: The Definitive Typhon
Oh, right, so not strictly.
But these scales still seem FS2-ish. In FS1, ships were very diverse and scales were exclusive to the Aten. On Thoth, you don't really see them that much (and they're of different style).
