Dislike how thin the engine flap things are. Otherwise, good.

[Commander Zane]

I agree, the progress you have so far is beast.

[Snail]

Looks awesome.

[CommanderDJ]

I'm really looking forward to this. Great work so far.

[T-LoW]

Will they move when you engage thrusters? I mean the Medusa isn't very fast but it would make it look faster if they nestle to the Medusa

[Hades]

Dislike how thin the engine flap things are. Otherwise, good.

They're not even close to be final, just there for representation on the model.

And yes, the idea was for them to move like the flaps on the Horus do, they'd normally be sticking 'up' (more like near a 45 degree angle) and move down when it hits the afterburner.

[Commander Zane]

That would be pretty cool.

[Hades]

Alright, so I broke up the two parts of the engine in the back, should I go for something more like


Or like



Also, the body's likely going to be completely redone as well because frankly I don't like it

[MatthTheGeek]

Looks good to me.

[Hades]

Looks good to me.

Look at the engine, specifically the back, there's a bit of a difference, which one of the two do you think is better?

[MatthTheGeek]

I'd say the first one, but either looks good to me

[Vasudan Admiral]

Hmm, first one - with moar pipes Igor!

Specifically more details in the area of the texture that shows a recessed mechanical region in about the middle of the engines (viewed from top) - model in those mechanical bits at least to some degree and you shall win!

[Rodo]

Voting for the first as well, seems to make the target profile of the Medusa smaller which might be better when making the shield mesh.

[Commander Zane]

I'd go with the first one as well, your work is turning out real well.

[T-LoW]

Yup. The engines seem to stick better together in the first one. And the challenge of aircraft-creation was always keeping the final design as compact as possible without loss in effectivity (to give you a reason here )

[Kolgena]

+1 for first variation.

Looking fantastic.

[Hades]

Went with the first variation also I put some pipes (VA loves his pipes, man) and it's H for Hades. ;0

That hexagonal thing which is sticking out is to represent the connector, not done yet.

[Snail]

Not a modeller but don't you think that could be done better with normal mappen?


Is looks good anyway.

[Vasudan Admiral]

It's close yeah but nah I'd say that detail is best done with geometry because it looks quite different from different angles. Normal maps would make it too rounded and non-specific in this case.

[Snail]

Cool then. Looks very awesome.
