The textures are still in progress

[Snail]

Anudder one? Or is this VA's one? Err, me is confused.

[NGTM-1R]

Looks a little stubby.

[Water]

Looks a little stubby.

Ortho mode rather than perspective.

The nose on VA's one is more polygonal

[Snail]

But why do we need to make another one?

[Vasudan Admiral]

Well it looks very nice, but errm....why a Valkyrie when there are loads of other untouched ships?

Or was it just one of those 'I wanna do the X!' moments?

[ShadowGorrath]

Scorpion please

[Snail]

Scorpion please

Yeah, the Scorpion ruled.

[Mars]

Is anyone actually sure that VA's working on one... the only place I've seen where anyone mentions VA working on a Valkyrie is that thread that Goober locked. "Is there an HTL..."

I'm sure he is. If he wasn't he would've said so by now.

[Vasudan Admiral]

I am, yeah. It got put on hold for media VP things when the FSU team was formed, and has remained on hold due to subsequent projects. I'm around 1/3 of the way through texturing.

[Galemp]

Why does nobody want to round off those corners? We've had what, four iterations now, and still the same low-poly engine blocks with accents and greebles. *sulks*

On the plus side, the ambient occlusion maps look wonderful. The seams on the armor are a bit too high contrast with the rest of the hull, however.

[Topgun]

can we see a perspective view? it looks nice but va's looks more like an interceptor, this looks too "heavy". good for a valk spin-of tho.

[Hellstryker]

Scorpion please

Yeah, the Scorpion ruled.

But not as much as the shaitan

It's on the BWO list and has no htl version

That has been bugging me, but was hoping to get away with it. Looks like it needs more work. Is it just the engine block? as I'm mostly happy with the rest.

[Hellstryker]

It could use a few more greebles, but other than that and the engine blocks it's great

[Solatar]

It's torture...so many unfinished Valkyries, not one released. It should be a race.

....GO!

I shall post an image to illustrate.



Basically what you did to the neck and the cockpit, but to the rest of the hull as well.

It's at 5k now excluding pilot. So that may add a bit extra. I'll give it a shot.

Not necessarily so simple...



Where's all the smooth!

Some of the "blockyness" could be interpreted as design feature and/or overall shape of the ship, some not so much.

I would say the real trick is in determining what's supposed to be there and what should be changed from angled to curved, from blocky to smooth, adding small detail in overall, and retain the overall look of the original so that it's instantly recognizeable as a new version of the old one (and there isn't too great a change between LOD's).
