GVD Hedetet vs. GTD Titan:

GAWDDAMN GIVE ME THAT ARCADIA SKIN IT'S GOING STRAIGHT TO MY MEDIAVPS

Arcadia skin is sex, do want.

So anything on where I can get those blue ship textures?

Again, the blue textures used on the Arcadia and whatever that long ship was called (Which uses Orion skins), where can I get them? Can someone please host them?

I made them and for now they're exclusive. Maybe I'll change my mind, maybe not. If you really want them, low-res retail-quality versions appear in the 158th dump (my textures are hi-res versions of them).

[Colonol Dekker]

Is there some sort of multi-blob turret mod that i missed out on?

I loves the Hedetet by the way. Because it means i can shoot more Zods in one go.

[Commander Zane]

Why would I want Retail graphics?

[Snail]

I'm not a large fan of the TrashManized Hedetet though. I despise those square blocks and those trims make me sick.

[Droid803]

Well, it has more polies than StratComm's old retail model, but that's all it really has going for it. (Well, and an alternate turret setup if you prefer that).

I don't mind it that much. I mean, it's not perfect, but it ain't terrible.

[Commander Zane]

I think overall the Hedetet is just an ugly ship period.

I think my retexture job works wonders with it:




Also, you find a better Vasudan destroyer model (the Typhon and Hatshepsut don't count).

Is there some sort of multi-blob turret mod that i missed out on?

Those turrets are for my 2393 mod and I made them myself. Similar turrets will appear in later chapters of Twist of Fate. Unlike the old blob turrets, these work. If you linger near them, capital ships will rape you.

(Twist of Fate's version is slightly less rapey because it doesn't use Fury's new AI)

Why would I want Retail graphics?

So you can remake them yourself, of course.

[Hades]

The original Hedetet is a much better model, so here.

[Droid803]

No it's not a much better model. It has less detail.
For one, it doesn't have the nice dual-barrel multiparts.

[Hades]

Less details/polies does not mean it is a better model. There can be an elegant model with a great profile and design but no detail, does not make it worse than a model with a bad design with a huge amount of detail.

[Woolie Wool]

Well, I prefer the HTL Hedetet, and it's staying, so there.

And here is the Hedetet blazing away with its point defense turrets, including the new Vasudan energy flak:



EDIT: How does the fancy glow effect on the mediavp flak work? I've dug through the tables twice and haven't figured it out.

[Droid803]

Less details/polies does not mean it is a better model. There can be an elegant model with a great profile and design but no detail, does not make it worse than a model with a bad design with a huge amount of detail.

The profile and design doesn't change between non-HTL one and the HTL one.
Stuff like the trim Snail is talking about is most definitely part of details.

[Commander Zane]

I just realized I've wanted these blue textures since Feburary, about 90 pages back.
Not sure where this dump is with the textures though.

[Droid803]

I'll see if I can replicate some of them.

EDIT:


It'd probably look like the other one if you turn off a few key glowmaps.

[Woolie Wool]

You used the wrong textures as a base.

Check that Raynor, it uses largely the same textures as the Arcadia.

[ShadowGorrath]

[Commander Zane]

Nice Beast ships.

I'll see if I can replicate some of them.

EDIT:

Nice, I like how that looks more.
The biggest one for me is the Hecate around page 122 or around that. My last attempt failed at changing textures.

[Snail]

(is assuming this is for Abyss) I'd recommend more glowiness rather than spec or diffuse for the reddish bits. Right now it looks more like rust.

[Droid803]

You used the wrong textures as a base.

Check that Raynor, it uses largely the same textures as the Arcadia.

So you just used Raytile1 and Colortile instead for most of it? (Or improved versions of those, I guess)

Since I realized I didn't have a use for it: Here's the Arcadia I did for anyone who wants it:

needs a texture from the darkened orion textures pack (here)

The biggest one for me is the Hecate around page 122 or around that. My last attempt failed at changing textures.

The one on page 124 just looks like he's using default MediaVPs textures + a single custom light texture.

EDIT:
yep. basically perfectly duplicated. (excuse the lack of AA)

Nah, these are for myself Unless someone wants them.

Better?
