i didnt know where to put this, so i just start a new topic for all of my wips

i am currently working on the textures of my ISA Victory Class, i started to paint them from scratch, i hope you like it though.

[Slasher]

Incredible!  We'll be cure-hunting and Drakh-busting in style!

Now I need to start practicing beamfree-ing turrets close together so I can get the ripple effect of the forward guns right...

[I_E_Maverick]

so, a last update for today, it goes pretty well i think

[karajorma]

Looks great. Can't wait to see it in action

Super !
Just one question about its armament. If my memory serves me right, the victory has some gatling-style pulse cannons with rotating barrels.

So, are you planning to implement these rotating weapons into its arsenal, or do you plan to "update" it later ?

As always, Victory rocks !

Wow you've been busy. It's truly looking spectacular so far. You may want to think about adding some turrets to it so they can be included in the uv and texture maps. Or you might end up with no room for them. I'm not entirely sure what aramaments it has. Best check some episodes of Crusade and the Call to Arms movie.

[I_E_Maverick]

thx guys!

about the turets, i know where they are, at the front end of the wings, those little structures that stand out of each wing, 3 from the upper one and 1 for each on the lower ones. there are several anti fighter guns, look here:


anyway, there is enough room on the textures for those little turrets it has 2 1024 textures btw

I_E_Maverick,do you have access to our private forum? Link should be visible to you just above the public beta testing forum link.

[I_E_Maverick]

but why are you asking?

[Fury]

Don't be afraid to post ideas and feedback on the internal.

And don't worry, once you learn the basics Freespace modding is quite easy.

Just.....unbelievable, can't say much more.
Umm. what's the polycount of Victory excatly ?

[I_E_Maverick]

with all turrets it is at 2117 polys

[IPAndrews]

The turrets always pose an interesting problem. You have two types. Simple turrets (which don't move, they just sit there and fire), and multi-part turrets (where the base and the barrel move seprately on two different axis). With multi-parts the barrel part of the turret must start pointing either straight up or straight down. Those turrets shown above may look okay as multi-parts. It's worth giving it a shot I think.

Have a look at karajorma's turreting tutorial to get a feel for how to set up groups and axis for multi-part turrets or speak to me over ICQ.

[karajorma]

It's part of my FAQ in case you needed the link.

[IPAndrews]

Yeah I would have posted the link but I'm a lazy Brit.

Looks bloody awesome.
