Re: Horus? Now with added Poll Goodness!
Guestimate it.  Upper body and head should come to slightly over one meter, IIRC.  You'll never get the chance to scrutinize the pilot for .1 meter scale deviations anyway.
who needs a signature? ;)

By the way, rather than sticks, I might use the whole "organic button finger pad" thing, where the Vasudans control with a pad for each of their fingers.
Also, the head anis generally show Vasudans sitting up and in armor, you should take that into account as well. :)

Could have sworn that I wrote this once, but:

My laptop is in for repairs and Uni starts again on Monday, so I won't have the chance to work on this... at all. So If someone wants to look at my shoddy geometry they can PM me and I'll send it, but otherwise it's going to be on hiatus until... possibly spring break.

Did anything ever come of this? I dont recall if I sent it to anyone, or if I didn't. I have the scene on my computer and found it while looking for something I owed to SoL.

Very nifty.  Certainly worth polishing off!  :yes:
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

Re: HTL Horus (Old thread. New Title. With an actual image now!)
I was beginning to get a little concerned; there hasn't been any action in here for a few months as far as new models go.  Damned real life...  At any rate, that's one hell of a Horus. :)

Re: HTL Horus (Old thread. New Title. With an actual image now!)
That is purely awesome :)
I really like the front end of the vessel, it was done like perfectly, and the outer ridges are really cool too, and not overdone either i might add. After that the guns and the outer wings are really nice, and the greebling on the top center of the ship is cool. Maybe a little something can be done to the part that's inbetween the center ass end thing and the outer wings, that's the only part that seems a little plain.
then again, i might be completely wrong about my tiniest gripe which may not matter when the damn thing is textured with a hi res texture :D It's the nicest looking work in progress untextured htl model i've ever seen.
After that second place for an untextured model goes to the hecate :D
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

Re: HTL Horus (Old thread. New Title. With an actual image now!)
Its actually already textured. I've just been tweaking things as I go along, to make parts look more coherent, and overall more pretty. Though, I cannot say for sure when I'll finish this completely. I just today purchased a new computer ( :D :D :D ) with a conroe e6300 and the rest of that good BS, so I'll likely use that for the rest of my work on the model.

So in about a week or so (as Im also quite busy with school)

Last I recall, you got stalled while trying to figure out how to model the cockpit.

Ah. Right.

Well. Fick the cockpit. Im not going to go out of my way to make a strange Vasudany cockpit. Especially one that would (though likely not) set the precedent for other Vasudan cockpits...

Here's what I think as far as Vasudan cockpits are concerned. The only way that we would get a glimpse at a true Vasudan cockpit is if FS3 was ever made(don't kill me for saying that). And since it won't, let's just go with our own community.

We should have a concept art/model concept submission thread, and then have another thread with a poll.
