Now with baked glows!



3D preview:

Awesome texturing by Oddgrim. Modeling and conversion by me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original post:

Well, I finally got some time and my PC working. :nod:
I have concluded that I should retexture de Ptah... but I am sick of texturing and I'm not good at it, so I'll put that on hold for now.  :nono:
So I've started this:



It's only a start, but I wanted to show I'm working on it.

Yes, no complaints, I imagine it will look awesomer with textures.

[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

Looking great!

My only comment would be to not forget the ribbing of the spikes, that is implied on the original's texture. Think that those ribs are what make the connection between Vasudan and Shivan :)
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

I always took those "ribs" as you say to be scales as in rest of vasudan small craft. The Rahu, Rakshasa and Moloch have ribs, but those are a lot bigger. I think spikes are giving this ship the shivan-y look.

Good start! While for teh spiky buts I'd reccomend making them a tiny bit more rounded at the end to lessen the potensial shivany look.

We probably, on the contrary, want to accentuate the Shivan look rather than reducing it. The texture will already do a large amount of Zod feel, so the Shivan feel should be proeminent in the mesh.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

Some progress, now in 3D http://p3d.in/DpCK9

I don't know what went wrong in the conversion process, but I have a displaced edge over the left engine pod. :wtf:
But I don't care since the work to put the AO bake and the original models texture together was long, and I won't do it again just for that.

PS: I love this p3d thing...

I'm certain the new Sekhmet looks stunning, but I can't see it because I'm using a smartphone.

Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I have a selfish request.  p3d is a great way to show off your mesh, but for those of us who use our smartphones to access HLP, many of us we can't use p3d.  So if it's not too much trouble, please post a few pictures alongside your (pronoun refers to all who use the p3d client exclusively) p3d presentation.

Never thought of that... there you go.







Should I lvlshot those? 'Cause lvlshot would stretch it for me, but I may shrink to fit for you.

Nah, use lvlshot only for the convenience of desktop resolutions. Since we can't please everybody, let's please the most.

This. You're gonna want to rib up those spikes.

Well, I'm a little unsure of what those black and brown alternating lines under the engine pods should be, so here's what I got so far:





I think it's not bad but I don't think it's great either. I could do smaller sections, but the more subdivision I put, the smaller they are, the less impact they make. Suggestions? Remember that an image is worth a thousand words... :)

Can we see the p3d version? Its easier to judge if I can rotate it around.

If you visit the p3d link, it will show you a warning, but it will also show you a screenshot automatically on browsers (or devices) that can't run p3d. That includes smartphones.

It shows a perspective shot of the mesh for a split second and then disappears and becomes unresponsive; running Safari on iPhone 4 with newest OS.  I'm also having the same problem on my Macbook, whose hardware and OS I confess are a bit dated.

Nevertheless, I still think it's good to offer some back-compatibility to users who cannot use p3d, even though we are in the minority.
