Well in the same vein as my NuTIE series that I started, I figured I'd swing the other way and get us a new X-Wing going.  So here we go:



Still WIP at the moment

[Snail]

How many polies in comparison to the old one?

(looks sweet BTW)

[StarSlayer]

Purdy

[brandx0]

The old one was roughly 6K polies.  This one is 4800

[Angelus]

That ship looks awesome.

[On_Your_Six]

Now that is some very pretty work right there.  Excellent

[Galemp]

You're uploading/backing up everything you're doing now, I hope?

[brandx0]

No, I'm actually saving it on my most dodgy hard drive that makes a strange whirring sound and sometimes sparks.

=P

[Flipside]

No, I'm actually saving it on my most dodgy hard drive that makes a strange whirring sound and sometimes sparks.

=P

It's like me, I just shout vector co-ordinates into an old gramophone horn and etch it into a soft-wax disc

Seriously though, looking very nice indeed!

[aRaven]

mmmh like this one much more than the first one!

Rock and chisel.  That way it's pretty much permanent for a few thousand years. 

[brandx0]

What about erosion?

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Like I said a few thousand years.  Of course like any other media you can go fore the cheap stuff like sandstone that doesn't last too long or for something like granite that lasts a lot longer. 

[aRaven]

u want to store things on granite?

oook....

[Angelus]

yeah, will be tough to get all that stuff on there bit by bit

[EtherShock]

That X-wing looks great, even better than the first! Although I think the R2 unit should contrast the flight group colors for each scheme, it just looks better. How many markings are you going to go with on the wings? Looks like you're debating between 3 and 5, unless the SCP supports multiple markings, which I doubt.

[brandx0]

The variable markings simply came from someone requesting the R2 unit be R2-D2, and therefore I figured I'd go with Luke's X-wing (Which was Red 5 in the original movie, and the original had individual markings for each fighter, from reds 1-5 (red 6+ were never shown)

Are you going to make different astromech textures, so we don't always have to fly with an R2 unit?

[Scourge of Ages]

Pffff, R-5s were totally overrated. Everybody knows that R-2s were the pinnacle of astromech technology, duh.
Maybe an R-7 could work, but that would probably be too much trouble.

Seriously though Brand, that is one hot X-Wing. Are you sure you didn't nuke your own HD for an excuse to start over?

[aRaven]

I'm glad he nuked his HDD
