Re: Moldy Crow, Is it worth it?
maybe, I wouldn't reckon it's a priority ship though, and as such would be suited to a later release.

I've always wanted to do the Raven's Claw.

Re: Moldy Crow, Is it worth it?
Never liked those ships myself to be honest. Should've gone with new YT-series designs instead.. I particularly never understood the Raven's Claw size. Whoever scaled it must have been on drugs, it's way too small to be anything but a short range fighter.

Is it worth it? 

In short, no.

In long, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Re: Moldy Crow, Is it worth it?
I don't like their designs, either. Especially the Raven's. The Moldy Crow is a bit better, but we don't need either of them for FotG.

Something like this before the Falcon?  Dark Forces was good and all, but that's just sacrilegious :D

Both ships look quite nice, but I don't think that FoTG needs them.

Re: Moldy Crow, Is it worth it?
Well, it's simple enough, and the SW universe is populated by who-knows-how-many types, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be included if someone takes the time out to model it. Of course, that's if someone takes the time to model it.

There you go, Dekker. It can be your summer project: making the Moldy Crow

Shape should be a piece of cake. But UV. . . . . . That's just not my specialty. I seem to take days or even weeks. That's not a normal time is it.

Re: Moldy Crow, Is it worth it?
It is, Esarai is still UVing a very large ship, despite having stated loooong ago.
It took at least a month to get it to 60%.

Re: Moldy Crow, Is it worth it?
I've never even done a serious texture job. But, if you can model it and model it well, there's no reason for not going to an experienced mapper/texture artist and getting some assistance. If you make a nice asset, someone is bound to pitch in to finish it up.

About 10 years of untextured, unconverted, un-UV'd assets say otherwise.

I noticed that someone did a version of the Moldy Crow over at Turbosquid.  Doesn't look to bad with the advanced modeling.

Well...

If you want to purchase it for the team of FotG, go right ahead.

 :lol:
Yeah sure, of course considering the 30 hours of time it would take for me to do it myself, $25 doesn't seem that bad.  But I don't want to steal Dekker's thunder.

The renderings do give one a better understanding of the ship's detail.

Re: Moldy Crow, Is it worth it?
Yeah- $25 bucks is a prtty good deal, dunno how well the model would work in FS though - it's very high poly and probably multiple textured, and likely not solid.

I never understood how one was supposed to see straight ahead with this ship.
