Re: Shivan Strikecraft Upgrade Status
Four "nays" and no "yays".  We're going to change it to conform to the demands of FSU.

But since the Astaroth doesn't have a concept art we can work from and the :v: model is not much to look at, we will be taking our own creative tastes into account when designing HTL models.  And unfortunately this will upset some people...

Re: Shivan Strikecraft Upgrade Status
Well, just make sure it looks aggressive, fast, sleek-ish, and fragile.
Cause that's what it is in game.

Making it look too sturdy isn't in line with the actual experience :P

Re: Shivan Strikecraft Upgrade Status
Yeah, these are the fighters that die from a double-Harpoon strike.  They have to look the part. :p

Re: Shivan Strikecraft Upgrade Status
Indeed, the one shown in WiP is too thick for such fast, fragile fighter.

There was already an HTL Astaroth mesh lying around somewhere, wasn't there?

Yes; Bobboau made one several years back, but it seems to be lost in the ancient archives of HLP history.  If you have it, please post it here and we'll take a look.

Re: Shivan Strikecraft Upgrade Status
Definitely keeps the fragile look - it almost reminds me of a shard of brittle glass. Very nice.
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

Re: Shivan Strikecraft Upgrade Status
Looks much much better. Like, much much better. (Edit: er, shouldn't really say that, since Brotherbryne!=Rampage. Whoops, sorry)

Could we get the tail spikes on the wings/side pods to flow better into the rest of the pod? Right now they kind of look tacked on rather than integral.

(Could we get a shot directly head on, directly behind, and directly to the side? I have a hard time grasping exactly what it looks like because of the strange angles, and am getting an impression that its profiles are like twice as thick as they are in retail.)

BrotherByron and the Inferno Team bring you the Astaroth, now in its HTL glory.  Attached herein is the HTL Astaroth POF for rendering purposes.  Normal map is software-generated.  No shine/env map included.
