Very nice.
of course modeling is the easy part  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

the escort fighter looks more like a heavy assault fighter or even a light Gunship.

the alien ships look nice. how come all alien ships are weird and pointy? has anyone ever made a race with functional basic looking ships like the terrans, but more so?

I like the cargo ship and the Griffin. They look cool, but we need to see them texturated (sp)

Nice work  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

That fighter looks very similar to one of the french ships in Starlancer, the Mirage and the cargo hauler looks sorta like a melted Goliath from the same game  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Those are really, really nice! Even more so considering you did all those meshes in 24 hours. Top work.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

With good textures, those will be very, very fine ships.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I like the cargo ship a lot. With some more work on the upper deck (?), that will be a top notch model. The fighter looks conventionnal, but cool anyway  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

The cargo ship and the Griffin are indeed pretty gorgeous.

Post by: jonskowitz on August 21, 2001, 01:19:00 pm

The cargo ship is cool.  Given the timeframe all of it was done in a very nice job indeed.

(SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT!)
I'm working on my own TC at the moment.  Check it out at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JSKGames-public/files/ ("http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JSKGames-public/files/")

(sorry, only have the FS1 version at the moment, planning to have both types evtually)

sorry for replaying so late - connection probs

Any way the wing tips for griffin and the gennral design for the Hippo (under bit etc) (cargo) were shamlesy stolen from Starlancer, I admit.
The alien race are actually living, like the leviathan out o' Farscape - they have been merged with tecnology and thus spikes are beams turrets are mounted on metal strust sticking out of there body and becasue the propulsion of the large 'vessals' is VERY slow engines have been bolted on to the back...

on a side note do you know how hard it is to glue 29 objects together for a cargo ship? with out LODs! arrrhhhhhrrrrrhhhrrrh,.

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: LAW ENFORCER on August 24, 2001, 06:03:00 pm

ok, here is the rendered textured version of the hippo, I carn't do all ships quickly, I just counted and I have 52 ships 3 cargo containers and a doszen or so 'extras'(turrets etc). Textureing them all at this time would mean not very good maps on most of them.
This has some areas I want to clean up top part and strut's light dark devide for example...

Ill take that as I just wanna see it blow up! not with badly done JPEG comppression!

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Stryke 9 on August 27, 2001, 06:46:00 pm

It's pretty cool. I like the station quite a bit. The Hippo's the only one that's really making me drool, but keep up the good work!

PS: Yes, I would like to see you blow it up.

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: LAW ENFORCER on August 28, 2001, 03:38:00 pm

its making you drool, mabey I should put a health warnning sticker on the MOD then - this was one of the mediocre models I have done - I personaly love my cruiser - hunter class if I can remember, my frigate - huricane class and many many more! just finishing (read starting to texture) off the bandit fleet today

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Anaz on August 28, 2001, 07:15:00 pm

I have a mental problem with making models. I can't seem to be able to make a ship with more than about 200 polys. I am somewhat ranting about this. The figter I made with about that is kind of cool (even if relitivly simple) does anyone want me to post a pic?

needs more detail on cockpit! and fins! and err... em.... err...
part from that it seems to be good er... what is it?

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Anaz on August 30, 2001, 07:33:00 pm

It is supposed to be an interceptor, I have the 'curse' of making incredebly low poly models (this one is 'bout 200), and it DOES have fins!

just extrude more I have 1000 poly fighters that have so much detail that I have to remove 'features' to get them down!
you carn't call them fins! their pathetic you need BIG fins! put some wings on with bent back tips, mabye on side only???

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Anaz on August 31, 2001, 04:37:00 pm

I make some new pics to show you, ok? I don't think that having 200 polys is all that bad! I mean cumon, now I can have HUGE space battles, at least twice as many as fs2 had.

Yeah but mine look better... (prob)!!!
and the LOD is were you can get massive space battles on slow machines just have numerous ships spread out arccross a large area.

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Bishop Gantry on September 01, 2001, 07:18:00 am

the cockpit is to small in comparison to the body of the ship, it looks unatural ME thinks

Title: What do YOU think of these?

Did Analazon get a new pic?
What do you model with Anala?

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Anaz on September 01, 2001, 09:19:00 pm

I use TS4 for modeling, and yes I getta new pic, this one looks better than the old one:

Yeah, tis much better than youst old one!
It is actually a good design - It looked like a TIE fighter before (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif), oh yes!

Here is what I think it needs
A (more???) rased cockpit, make it darker and greyer at the least.
Put something on the front of those cycilders.
put same 'fins' on underneath (if not already) and extrude them down abit to ward engine
get better at texturing (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Thats what I think anyway! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Post by: YodaSean on September 02, 2001, 09:21:00 pm

cool.  missle banks would be good on the cylinders.  Make the cockpit more than just solid blue

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Setekh on September 03, 2001, 07:36:00 am

Whoa... that's really cool  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Title: What do YOU think of these?
Post by: Anaz on September 03, 2001, 09:15:00 am

Ok, thanx for all of the input. The lack of missile banks is due to a strange reason in my campaign. It is a short-range interceptor that is stationed on Patrol Cruisers or at space stations. Ah, I remember the reason now, The cylenders contain the weapons and sensors in them, so that is why there are no missile banks. This is about a LOD2 model, I suppose if I get around to making a LOD1, it will have more detail on the subsystems. Oh, and I am working on becoming a better texturer.
