I don't think it matters how hard it is, because he already plans on doing it regardless.

Well, if you put a box around it, the insides aren't visible, and so, aren't rendered, right?  Or no?  How about just make the insides an invisible subsystem thingy?  IDK.    noob>jr2<noob

I'll be doing the smaller armoured version, not that big bubble one, that's just rediculous

[brandx0]

New render, now with a cockpit!


You asked for it, now you've got it.

[haloboy100]

Oooh. She's purdy

One thing, you can see the polies on the ends of the engine pods, maybe make a few more subdivisions.

I've got a better idea. Make the external panels destroyable subsystems (one panel per subsystem) and call it explosive reactive armour. Then you could actually justify it, in addition to the normal armour of an Y-Wing (which is formidable without any fancy additional panels as it is).

Then find some way to prevent all those destroyed subsystems from showing on the damage report on HUD.

...yeah I know it would be a heck of a job to do. But man would it be sweet...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the panels were removed for maintenance access. They're not armor.

But man oh man, that looks sweet. Keep it up!

Though that looks suspiciously like a Terran cockpit...

This thing's quite the poly monster already, and remember that when it's zipping around you'll be spending more time trying to kill it than staring at the polies.  I did have to make sacrifices to get that detail in there and I decided that the greebles would draw more attention than the outline of it and used my spare polies for that instead.

Which Terran cockpit?  I made that one from scratch

[Galemp]

It looks a lot like a Freespace-standard green HUD and a red flightsuit in there. But it could just be the angle.

[brandx0]

I dunno about how you can tell what the HUD looks like from that angle, but as for the flightsuit, it's actually just a standard MAX Biped with orange and white coloured to look like a rebel pilot.  Haven't done a pilot mesh yet.

I have to nitpick on that a bit.  Yes, they were removed for maintenance access, but it does seem like any panels that were originally in place should be armored panels, as they formed the original exterior of the hull.

See, now THAT's what a Y-wing is supposed to look like Amazing work

One very tiny nitpick that I just noticed, though: The texture on the cockpit roof doesn't show the seams where the cockpit opens up to allow the pilot access, effectively leaving the pilot sealed in (or out) until someone gets a welding torch.

[brandx0]

good call, had forgot about those.

[brandx0]

Here we go, got those cockpit panels in now, and a bit more weathering around the panel lines.  I think I'm gonna call it quits with this one, otherwise I'll end up with a big smudge of dirt hehe.

[Shade]

It's perfect

[colecampbell666]

You get Galemp's sig quote. "You're a god amongst men".

[GT-Keravnos]

Y-Wing. Possibly the most awesomest fighter/bomber to ever exist.

 
Exactly.

[brandx0]

Why thank you very much.

[jr2]

Hmm... /wonders if the Y-Wing has ever had a problem with the turrets on the top of the cockpit discharging at a most inopportune time.
