Any plans for more hi-poly?
I just downloaded the new hi-poly karnak and it looks great. It made me think though, are there any plans for hi-polying some of the FS1 exclusive ships like the Valkyrie and the Anubis? I thought I saw a pretty awesome hi-poly Valkyrie floating around that was slated for release in a project (might have actually been ST:R, I can't remember).

EDIT: thread title typo corrected...more...not my..

Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
The HTL Valk is still WIP by VA. Hades tried making an Anubis but failed. There's a HTL Centaur, a HTL Apollo, and a HTL Athena (which is IMO meh).

HTL Athena isn't bad.

I must confess I was hoping to see a Valkyrie and an Anubis sometime. I was sure I saw a Valk by Nico at some point...

 
Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
Any pics of the valk? that's one of my all-time favorite ships, i used it long after i got the herc.
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

I'll try to dig it up.

Same here though. I missed the Herc's firepower, but I loved the speed and the perfect bomb intercepting second primary bank placement.

EDIT: No, I think I was wrong. Just VA's. Nico made the original lo-poly Angel way back when, so that's where I got his name mixed in from.

Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
I believe that's being done by the Silent Threat: Reborn people; unlikely they'd release anything before the main release, though (in my reckoning).

Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
I think there was a re-textured Valk floating around somewhere. That improved it's look somewhat, it wasn't to make it look different, just more detail. Does need hi-polying though.

Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
High-res and normal maps are in the works for the Valkyrie, as is the Hades. The only enhanced Valkyrie mesh has an added cockpit; it needs more significant work.

Suprisingly I haven't seen either the Athena or the Centaur yet. Where are they?

And why is there no love for the Amun... :(

Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
Galemp, don't bother doing any map work for the Valk - though it's currently on hold while I'm working on the Hades, I've already got a 25% coloured new texture for the HTL one. I wouldn't be able to use anything from the original.

Centaur is somewhere in the Inferno forum. It may be lost now since it was attached though. Pity. If Woo allows me then I can upload the one I have in INFA.

The Athena was on HC. I'll try find it.

It looks like a well textured squashed brick. :p

Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
I have the HTL Athena, complete with cockpit (as in you look through it when you're at your hud) and stuff, want me to upload the VP?

Re: Any plans for more hi-poly?
I remember I had an uber HTL Loki on my old installation of FS2.

Does anyone know where to get it?
