Wevil asked me to help him with high poly models. I don't really have time to help people usually, but hell, I didn't work on any high poly model for a long time now, so I was happy to help, for once. So I'm working on a manticore. Please keep in mind it's a work in progress pic, the mapping is not the final one, and even the modelling part isn't finished. Anyway, I also want to point out that I decided to base my model on the concept pic ( http://www.geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/concept.html  shivan section, 3rd pic ) , but I'll add things like the 2 fins that are only on the ingame model.
ok, now, the pics:

Now that looks nice. The glowing bits on it are a bit unclear.

[NegspectahDek]

glowy parts are cool.  din't the manticore in the fs1 intro movie glow like that?

[Pegasus V]

Unbelievable. How do you do it Venom (ritorical question - praise)? Great stuff.

[Setekh]

Whoa... that's... really cool.  

[Fineus]

Very nice! Might want to play with the glows a little (more of a deep red and less of a white) but it looks Hella Cool™

? Can you be more clear? lol I dunno what to modify if I don't understand what you mean  

[wEvil]

very smooth

I beleive he's talking about the glow intensity- the FS cutscene versions have a very deep strong red glow about them

Id also recommend replacing the bump maps with geometry - it gives a far cleaner look (specially if you want it on a hangar bay deck   )

With my great thread necromancing abilities I ressurect this thread....Could I get this moved to the Freespace Upgrade Project Forum please?

[CP5670]

man, this is so old that I was still at the VBB at the time.

[StratComm]

Necroposting doesn't even come close.  This entire thread predates both you and I as members by almost a year.

[Night Hammer]

i think i remember this from back in the day

[WMCoolmon]

It's like the stuff in the suitcase in pulp fiction...nobody knows what it looks like, but everybody wants it badly.

[Rictor]

red X's for me

[Black Wolf]

It's nearly a 5 year old post. The building which held the server that hosted the images probably isn't even still there.

[WMCoolmon]

Very true. But I don't think there's any point in keeping this open anymore.
