The head is somewhat lacking though. And the smoothing is bad.

I like the one to port more than the one to starboard. It looks more detailed.

That's the point. It's the exact same ship (Is it still designated Warlock?).

Yup.

I didn't think it needed to be said, but these are development pics of Moonred HTLing the GTCa Warlock.

The textures are also rather uninspired, to be honest.  :rolleyes:

Sorry, I was trying to skip right to the humorous misunderstanding.

Kidding aside, it's great looking work.

That is looking darn good. Moonred is a skilled modeller it's gotta be said. Nice to see one of the older ship models getting a facelift too.

nice ship!

goober? do you have any pics of the viraj vasudan installation?

Yes.

Post by: Nyctaeus on February 18, 2012, 06:13:26 pm
Could you show us this installation? I remember it from artwork, but I've never seen Viraj modelled. Concept was awesome, so unique. I'm very interested, how this model look like.

That new science ship looks awesome! You probably have a name for it already, no doubt. . . . . .

If not, i would name it "von Braun".

I think this is one of Scroll's signature models, so we'll probably keep it under wraps for now.

The working name is GTSC Faustus Mk II.  It will probably be changed. :)

Moonred sent me .3ds and .obj files, so that's all I have.  And I'll only hand them out if I get a promise of uv mapping in return. :D

Depends on your threshold for "active".  I had to harass him intermittently for two years to get this much. :P
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: Black Wolf on April 22, 2013, 12:15:41 am
Err... Goob, I think they mean an upload to p3d (http://p3d.in). Obj will do (in fact they insist on it) and AFAIK, all you can do with the model once it's uploaded is look at it on the website.
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: Goober5000 on April 22, 2013, 12:31:16 am
OIC.  Well, I don't have an account there, and I don't really want to sign up for one.  But if someone does have an account, I can send them the model to upload.

Welcome back!  Why don't you post in the modding forum to ask for some modeling tips? :)  (Especially for optimizing models. :nervous:)
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: Goober5000 on April 28, 2013, 06:07:40 pm
Hades was kind enough to upload the model to p3d.  Here you go. (http://p3d.in/RiBnb).

It's been a while since the last update. Time to change that :).
Moonred's fancy science ship is mapped, ao baked and awaiting for textures!

Cool looking Faustus  :yes:
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: Galemp on December 15, 2015, 11:05:24 am
This does look terrific. :yes: I love the detailed greebling on the side panels! However it needs a docking bay for escape pods/probe deployment... unless that's going to be in the front recess?
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: Goober5000 on December 16, 2015, 02:22:21 am
The front recess sounds like a good spot, same as the current Faustus.  Note that the Faustus doesn't have a modeled fighterbay or even a fighterbay subsystem; just having a bay path is enough for it to work.

Props to anyone who was involved in getting this model this far. The original was so incredibly badly modelled it almost broke me when I tried to work on it. Having looked at it in p3d, it looks like it's basically been rebuilt into something approaching a clean, usable mesh - I'm suitably impressed. :yes:

Thanks. I had to remake a lot of sections due to terryfic geometry, doubled faces and numerous other stuff. Yeah, it's was a pain but it's worth it :). Hades probably did a lot of work before, and I don't exactly know how bad this model was before he did his part. Anyway after a really big amount of work, it's ready for texturing.

Is the ventral surface of the forward section intended to be so ... barren?
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: Nyctaeus on January 06, 2016, 07:21:41 am
A whole ship cannot be covered by some specific science equipment. Some places are just covered with armor plates and ventral front part it one of this places.

I don't suppose you'd be open to installing a multipart turret there for experimental weapons testing?
Title: Re: Development pics

Depends on Goober :P
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: Goober5000 on January 08, 2016, 12:30:30 am
I think it looks fine as-is, especially since the hangar will go in the front recess.

But Galemp brings up a good point about turrets - there aren't any!  Betrayal, you mentioned that you handed it off to be textured.  Can turrets be added after texturing, or do you need to add them now?
Title: Re: Development pics
Post by: The Dagger on January 08, 2016, 08:27:45 am
They can be added after.

I guess this belong here :P. PBR power!

As for previous posts, it has 11 turrets. I had to strip them down for texturing process. Also it has a small hangarbay, on the bottom of front section. I added it later, so it's not present on p3d model.
