Post by: karajorma on November 02, 2004, 04:24:31 pm: I've already said I like this one on SectorGame. Have you fixed the floating turrets yet though?

Post by: Taristin on November 02, 2004, 04:30:22 pm: I fixed them in MAX, but I have had a little difficulty getting it to convert correctly. I'll take another stab at it tomorrow or more likely Thursday, when I don't have work. :nod:

Post by: Taristin on November 02, 2004, 09:40:46 pm: Anyway, I'm not here to impress anyone. I made it how I wanted it, and if other like it too, then it's just gravy. Once I get the turret fixes done, and re-re-release it, I'm not going to touch it anymore.

That's what I thought when I saw the pics. It's a completely different matter when you get the pof running in FS2_Open.

Besides apart from rounding it some more there really isn't that much you can do to the Sobek.

yeah, you really need to look at it in Model View to appreciate how different the mesh is.

Post by: Taristin on November 14, 2004, 06:06:19 pm: Well, sorry, 'Mr. Every ship has to be grebled beyond recognition. '

This is how the ship should have been. Perhaps more detailed engines, but that'll be a project for a later date. There isn't alot you could have done to this model...

Post by: Bobboau on November 14, 2004, 06:24:49 pm: you could have modeled in the scales :)

Post by: Corhellion on November 14, 2004, 06:55:56 pm: that's what bump maps are for! :D
Title: High poly Sobek WIP
Post by: Taristin on November 14, 2004, 07:41:55 pm: Yeah... I'll keep that in mind for next time... :fake smile:

Anyway, I did bump out the armored parts, and recess the red parts. Once I get it to convert with the turrets in the correct postions, It'll be done, and over with.

Post by: GT-Keravnos on November 18, 2004, 07:49:30 am: I think it looks a lot better right now. I imagine once it is turreted, Lightspeed will have a taylor made cloth for it.

Let's see...

Post by: Lightspeed on November 18, 2004, 09:08:09 am: Modelling the scales would be kind of messy with the tiled texture and without antialiasing, though.
