It looks pretty good, I love it even as it's not yet finished.

But you know what this...



...reminds me of?

This!

THAT'S IT. . . THE SHIVANS ARE ANONYMOUS

[Kolgena]

Just to be sure, the Sathanas isn't actually going to be copper red, right? That's just the lighting?

[Rga_Noris]

Kolgena, yes, that's lighting. It is a metallic dark gray.

[TomJeffersonJones]

You took on the Sathanas and made it yours.  Diving under this thing is going straight to the top-shelf of my Fs2 memory banks.  I will ramble about it in the dementia ward 60 years hence. 

[Bobboau]

I don't suppose the armor plating on the arms could be made more jagged and irregular, could it?

[Belisarius]

It's his way of smoothing up the old model. If you don't like it and think you could do better, please go ahead. The bigger the choice, the better for the community.

@Bobboau:

I'm going to add some irregularity using the texture, but for the most part the mesh will remain as is.

I'm glad this is coming out in the same release as the Colossus; or High Noon would look very sad and one sided graphically. As it is, it will really feel like an epic battle between two Juggernauts and less like a couple of clumps of polygons beaming each other.

I honestly cannot wait to see this in game.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I watched your video, RgaNoris. Sweet, sweet stuff you have there.

[Rga_Noris]

Fenris = Snack.



That being said, I am taking a quick break from the rest of the texture to complete the turrets and begin in-game beta testing (internally with the FSU... sorry folks, not yet!), but it shouldn't be too much longer before it hits your HD.

(That shot gives a fantastic sense of scale.)

[Shivan Hunter]

OMFG, that is epic.

[Snail]

That is utterly amazingness, you can really feel the size there!

[T-LoW]

Will the glow be animated to go torwards the arms? Love that shiny metal texture (like the Cain and Lilith have, too)

I can see the love you spent on your model

[Rodo]

yes

Someone I showed this to said the glow seemed to be senselessly slapped together, I can kind of feel that same vibe, but with so much going on I can't really pick out specific spots. The black hull texturing on the other hand is superb, it looks the kind of "Death-Black ship" that Gamma 3-9 would describe had he said it in FS2.

[T-LoW]

I'm sure it isn't all finalized, yet. This man knows what he's doing - I mean look at that friggin' thing! It's so awesome!

There are some issues with the glow map towards the front. If you notice the UV is not perfectly lined up near the arms, so it just drops off. Aside from that though, I am not sure what you mean. As for 'senselessly' I am not sure exactly what sense has been applied to other glow maps for Shivans. Can you provide an example of a glow map with more 'sense'? These glows match the metal texture underneath. The diffuse has specific parts to make it appear as though there is a mechanical/electrical feature creating it, which is somewhat lost in that screen due to the lighting.

And thanks for the polite feedback
