Jesus christ this is just a fantastically great looking model. I love the level of detail that makes it look rugged and combat-ready while completely emphasizing everything that makes a Vasudan ship Vasudan. I'd love to put these things to use in a mission!

Those cannon turrets and beam emitters are also fantastic. And is that thing on the lower front a fusion mortar turret?

 
Seeing you popping up lately, I was thinking about bring that ship up.

Glad to see it hasn't been forgotten :)

 
It is gorgeously Vasudan and well made. First time I've seen a fully textured model on P3D. One oddity, and this may be something I did that caused it on my end, it doesn't seem to be rotating around its center in P3D for some reason.

P3D lets you set the local origin by right clicking (once), I believe. The menu on the side shows you the other controls -- it's actually really flexible! So you may have just clicked on it as it was loaded and set the view origin elsewhere.

 
But I reloaded the page and it still did it. Unless there's a cookie that remembers that, it should have reset the local origin.

Thanks for the comments!

Yus, it is also could double for a beam turret. Or maybe a torpedo launcher.

I'm glad to see this model being worked on, I've seen it in your p3d a few times and was wondering how come it wasn't released yet. Looking forward to see it completed!

What I like about designs like these is that I could make multiple types or versions of the ship this way, with different loadouts and/or resizing the model. One could have the fusion mortar, the other a beam turret, or torpedo launcher and so on.
I'm all about getting the most out of games, so whenever I discover something very strange or push the limits, I upload them here:

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress to more pain."

Another update!

Been working on the shading of the panels and switching around on markings and general colours of the main armour panels.
Normal mapping is about 80% done mostly detailing left on the areas between stuff..
And then theres adding some wear and tear to the red markings, adding some more vasudan swearwords and rude suggestions to someones behind.   :D

Nice. Bookmarked for later reference.

What about them :? P3d does not have proper PBR support to my knowledge, regardless that will be solved during the conversion stage.

Gotta give you kudos for this Oddgrim it's looking excellent :yes:. I quite like how the design feels unique compared to other Vasudan ships, yet at the same time when you look at it you can see parts that remind you of the others enough for them to go together (the front prongs reminds me of the Aten, hull scales of the Mentu, greens of the Nephthys etc). Nice one!
