Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
These are the last remaining Shivan assets that never got HTLs. I'm hoping to get them all done for the next MVPs. Here is the list.

  • Azrael needs UVs and Textures THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
  • Asmodeus with SAC 2 needs a new model THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
  • Mephisto with SC5 needs a new model THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
  • Shivan Comm Node needs a new model
  • SSG Trident needs a new model
  • SSG Belial needs a new model THIS IS BEING WORKED ON
  • SSG Rahu is still retail, but honestly, it still looks rather nice. Could be upgraded, but not necessary.

This topic will serve as a place to discuss these models.

Do we have an HTL Demon?  I know several were thrown out there but don't recall if any of them were accepted.

Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
The new model looks fantastic, looking forward to seeing it in action!

 
Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
Wow, things are only getting better. I greatly look forward to see these assets released, as well as the fighters and later on, INFR2's Shivan stuff. Then I'll finally have enough variation to make Shivan fleets and formations look the way I want them to - big, imposing, diverse. Keep up the great work as usual.
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."

Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
I have a suggestion for this model as an upgraded version.  I'm sure that there are more than one campaign designer out there that would appreciate a version of this model with a simple button turret on top of the red light at the center, and possibly another on the opposite side.

That's really simple to add with PCS2 and probably something that should be left to mods who need it.

Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
If it was, we don't have a mesh.

We will HTL these things based on how terribly they look now. The Rahu, while still retail, holds up quite nicely next to other more recent models.

If we get around to it before the next MVPs release, it will be done after the others are finished.

Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
Since you're discussing "Miscellaneous Shivan Assets", I reckon I might as well remind you guys that at one point I made a Shivan countermeasure which uses the existing Shivan missiles texture. It would be neat to see it in the next mediavps.

Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
It will be considered. I've added it to our WIPs folder.

 :bump:

There are still a few Shivans I'd love to get a work over. Most notably the Comm Node and Trident. Rahu if someone is up to it.

Oh crap, I forgot I was working on the trident a while back. I was having a problem working out the angles on the arms but I solved that tonight and here it is.




Also, were you able to finish UV mapping the Belial?

Re: Miscellaneous Shivan Assets Upgrade
I don't know about this model. It's very odd. The sharp angles and the prisms don't look too great. It seems like it can't decide whether it's supposed to be mechanical or insectoid. The compromise is unpromising.
