Title: Terran/Vasudan Hybrid Destroyer
Post by: untouchable on October 08, 2002, 06:22:01 pm: I got an inspiration today to model something that... well.... stands out in the crowd of models. So..... I opened up MAX and embarked on a journey that few complete. 2 and 1/2 hours later, I finally create a design that I was satisfied with.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Terran/Vasuadan Hybrid destroyer the GTVA Titan:

Post by: Alikchi on October 09, 2002, 07:04:44 am: One suggestion - make the engine block more Vasudan-ish. :nod:

I tend to agree, but then look at the Colossus. It was supposed to be T-V hybrid and it's engines were extremely terran. What would be cool is to have the main engine block Vasudan (w/ yellow thruster glows) and then have the scattered engines terran (blue glows) as that would give a real impression of mixed technology. Doubt that's possible though.

Post by: Sandwich on October 09, 2002, 06:02:36 pm: Looks sweet, but honestly you should show it off from better angles and with improved lighting - it's kinda hard to tell what's what.
Title: Terran/Vasudan Hybrid Destroyer
Post by: StratComm on October 09, 2002, 06:05:08 pm: I don't know why, but I saw those big sweeping wings as Vasudan in design. Otherwise, it looks sharp.

Then tone down the lights in that second textured pic. There's a model screaming "Get that harsh light off my face!" if every I saw one :D
