This is an untextured model I recently started working on. It's about 700 metres long, and tentatively named Boreas.

Much, much weirder than anything we've ever seen in Freespace. If it has to be a spaceship at ALL I would make it an Ancients one.

Keep in mind, there is a Cruiser class named the Boreas already.  :)

It looks like a cuttlefish, which is a definite plus.

Honestly I really think people should be able to name their ships whatever they want. Even if the name is already being used.

Nice - keep it up, bobbtmann

It looks very organic - but ancient? I don't know...

With a different texture job, it'd look nice as an ancient ship.

With such an amorphous shape, it would need a seamless UV map with textures blending into each other. I would recommend generating something procedurally with Voroni maps, then unwrapping it.

For some reason, when I saw it I thought 'Owa' (read: Star Control 3). Maybe because I'm listening to the Daktaklakpak again. :nervous:

New species? Looks pretty much the opposite of the Tiigran-Merisst.

I guess it's a member of the same species as the Notus.

I gather that UV mapping would be the way to go then for this model? I had briefly considered doing a tiled, or a mixture of tiled and non tiled, but I suppose the larger, empty areas don't need the resolutuion of the detailed spots...

This is why I suggested procedural mapping--there's no other way to get seamless texture wrapping. Additionally there's no real distinction between parts of the model--if you texture mapped it, it would have to be all one texture. Hence, the blending.
