That's the Apothess, right? It looks exquisite!
Do the Vasudans still have a superdestroyer?

Somewhere in our files...

But it's extremely ugly and needs to be reworked.

They have a Nemesis/Bastion equivalent, or will eventually.

These tons of awesome details :eek:
Did you add this subspace coil yet? Or is that gone?

And btw, the how manyth model of the Odin is that? I think there must've been several since INFR1...

I will never understand how you have the time (and the speed) to make so many so cool models so quickly!

There's something about this one that I'm particularly liking. It looks like a prototype or experimental tested chassis or something. Which is probably a good thing. :)

I redesigned whole middle section to add more mass to it. It was quite skeletal in the original so I reworked it to get rid off obvious structural weakness. Coils are not that visible, but they are still there. I never get rid a ship I'm reworking off of it's signature features :P
Each coil ring is rotating, and she has three clusters of them. Each one contains three sets of coils.
...and it's third version of Odin. First was low-poly released with INFR1, second one is actually very old upgrade [4,7k polys]. My revision is the third. 49k polys so far.

Just finished big commercial project, so currently I have time to rework some things for pure passion before I take another request. Non-commercial projects are my breaks. This way I never loose the flow :P.

Odin is known as "the great experiment". After doing some planning and research, I decided to go for "big, flying machine" feel for it to highlight it's experimental nature and unique design. This ship was designed around oversized reactor [inside the hull actually], subspace coils and enormous beam cannon. I pust great emphasis on those features, as those make Odin so unique. By covering the coils with other sections and reworking middle section, I guess I found good compromise between "experimental look" and actual superheavy warship capable of engaging shivan juggernauts.
It has 10 beam cannons. I replanned it's main beam layout to give it more versatility. No matter which side it's opponent is [except the back], Odin may project firepower of four of it's cannons.

Rampage may not be well-known 3D artist here... I honestly have no bloody clue why o___O. He is awesome!

So we joined forces, and managed to rework old and tilemapped Kyrios-class escort corvette of the EA. He remodelled it and did most of texturing work, than I took his textures, mixed few things and finally converted it. Kyrios is now first PBR model done by Inferno Team :D.

Prettyyyy :)

But reworking the entire mod pack to PBR will take even you and Rampage some time :D

The Kyrios is my favorite Terran ship from INF, what is a a quite prominent position given the amount of ships. :)

I think the reason he isn't that known as artist is because Rampage is mostly working on INF AFAIK, which hasn't released anything for a long time and is also a mod pack without credits list so independent effort isn't that visible - for example Raven has also probably made some cool things, he just never released them by himself (if at all).

Astute observation, as the concept for the EACv Kyrios is indeed partially inspired by the Taiidan Heavy Cruiser.

Looks awesome, and the taiidan influence is pretty clear. Love it!

I'm pretty sure it's a copy paste of that one fan made Homeworld model seen in Complex and TFS. If not a copy, then it definitely has some pretty glaring similarities. Still excellent regardless.

It's a copy but not exactly a paste, Rampage remodelled it anew using the original as a base and concept I think given the information in credits.tbl: EACv Kyrios - Rampage [model copied de novo]; Concept: Homeworld Taiidan Heavy Cruiser and Homeworld 2 Complex Mod by Beghins, Vaygr Al Khalid

AFAIK, Rampage got permission to use all of HWish models we use. This one is probably modelled from cube anyway.

There’s a bit of history with how HWesque models got into the modpack.  When the project was pretty much dead back in 2010 and 2011, I returned to HLP to jumpstart the project on my own accord by massively upgrading the EA ships (they were mostly unchanged INFR1 models at that point).  I was pretty active in the HW community at that time on the old Relic forums (before they changed focus from HW to DOW and then did away with the community there as a whole).  By doing so, I ported several HW ships to Inferno starting with the Kyrios from the Vaygr Al Khalid (actually from the Point Defence Mod, not Complex).  Needless to say, I got some stiff opposition from the HW community.  As a compromise, I still used the ships but I made them (1) from scratch and (2) somewhat different from the original model.  So yes, the Kyrios was made in Wings3D from a cube based on how the original model looked.  When I was done, I even superimposed the old model onto the one I made and saw that it was completely different (where the vertices, edges, etc. were).  The only model I did not make myself was the Basileus, which was gifted to me by a Viper from Relic Forums along with a bunch of his other models.

Oh and just a note that these ships look that way as they aren't standard Earth built designs like the Eclipse/Lindos/Tereus etc and these ships are still around as well.
