Title: [RELEASE] TF Proton
Post by: Shivan Hunter on May 16, 2011, 08:26:22 pm
[EDIT] It's finished! Damn, this thing got done way faster than the Prominence. This was really epic. :D

I altered the tbl a bit to work with FS, since I use custom weapons and an armor.tbl, but it should work. Well, except for one thing but I'll leave that as a surprise. :7

Are you making a whole fleet or something ?

Looks nice btw.

Looks like another faction/(species?) is slowly coming to life...
Looks nice so far.

Well, my ships so far have all been from the same manufacturer. Sometime I'll develop a new style and naming conventions for another manufacturer.

Then I'll start doing some new species ;)

I'll be honest.. not really digging the brown on those.

Looks like... wood. Mesh is nice though.

if you stretch the nose to a point does anyone else seeing SW:Dark Forces, (something or other crow?) ?

I think brown fits just fine. I really like your designs.

I agree with headdie, if you stretch the nose bit, it does share a ressemblance with the Raven.

Well, if you don't like the brown, retexture it yourself when it's released. Problem solved.

Dogfighter this time. A bit smaller and slower than the Ion but much more maneuverable (about as much as a Persie). Of course this is a table thing that anyone can change.

Do you two mean the Moldy Crow?

Never heard of the Moldy Crow (I'm not much of a SW nerd although FotG looks epic). Reference pics show a huge and somewhat ugly fuselage though- the Proton is a bit more streamlined. Most of my inspiration comes from ships on the Infinity: The Quest For Earth forums and the Concept Ships blag (an awesome site).

There's not much color near the paint on any of my diffuse maps so recoloring the lot of them shouldn't be that difficult. :) Also, it looks a bit better once it has a shine and normal map.

Also, UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE, damn texturing goes so much faster when I have free time and no exams, woot

It's the player characters ship (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Moldy_Crow) in DF1 and 2 though iirc it gets toasted during 2 and replaced by the sleeker though similar designed Raven's Claw.

On the Proton, It's looking good, the block style is a little against how I normally envisage a fighter but it works well all the same.

Where are all your other ships? I heard tale of you making a fleet? If it all looks similar, i endorse and encourage you to make MOAR.

Post by: Nighteyes on May 22, 2011, 12:42:07 pm
may I suggest a small color change? I just played a bit with the hue, saturation and curves... IMO it will look better that way and will take it out of the slightly cartoony look it has right now...

As I said, the color scheme is not difficult to change. I may change it on my end, maybe not, I dunno.

Dekker: these are the only 3 so far (the Prominence and teh TF Ion (along with a bunch of random stuff) are both available in my sig).

I jotted down a light carrier that houses about one squadron last night, probably going to be my next model :)

:bump:

THIS THREAD IS FALLING INTO OBLIVION (well off the first page lol)

I MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN

THEREFORE I MOST MAKE AN UPDATE

(http://i.imgur.com/Jh3nB.png)

That normal map is in its very early stages... it's ripped directly from the shinemap, not even resized to get a good 5x5 sample, and weighted way too much, the end result will be more subtle. Shinemap will probably be changed up a bit too

I love the style you're establishing here. Looks almost industrial or something. Like... it's built to destroy. I dunno why, but I don't get that feeling with other FS ships.

And I kinda like the hugely non-subtle normal map, but that's just me. :D

I think on IRC I expressed my ****ing love of this ship. The normal and glow maps are both excellent.

:yes: The whole thing is great, but the glowmaps caught my eye.

Post by: headdie on May 27, 2011, 03:59:59 am
Loving the blue glows

Post by: Luis Dias on May 27, 2011, 05:05:25 am
I love it all. And specially the brown, since it was the object of silly hatred the last page.

It's not wood, for christ sake. It's Cor-Ten steel! (because naval ships' steel is always a badass choice to go for in spaceships!)

Quality. Sheer freaking quality.

Thanks. You guys are awesome. :D

In return for your appreciation I am releasing it! I just tweaked the normal maps and compressed everything to DDS. I altered the tbl a bit to work with FS, since I use custom weapons and an armor.tbl, but it should work. Well, except for one thing but I'll leave that as a surprise. :7

Yeah, definitely seeing the Moldy Crow/Raven's Claw in there.

Like this. Looks solid and chunky without looking like it's made out of legos.
