Title: ITF Benkei
Post by: Nico on September 17, 2001, 06:46:00 pm

Well, I anounced I made it, so why not posting a pic of it? here's the benkei, based on a volition design:

Probably not my best model, but I still like it. It's about the definitive model, just needs some marks, like red stripes and identification marks.

Well, I think this one will please all the regular looking FS2 ships that were not fond of the NGTA ships I made  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
All Tau fighters/bombers will be based on that design ( antennas -which are, in fact, shield generators-, side vertical wings, and a large underneath pod -here it's an engine pod, on the second fighter, the ITF Anan (my own design), it will be a missile pod, and a thin central body)

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

I'm glad to see that title wasn't an understatement.

Actually  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) j/k wit ya


OK, for constructive criticism...


The cockpit is a bit "thin". How can you expect someone to fit in there  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif), especially those fat police dudes that eat donuts  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Again, I need a better view  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

I like the way you textured the intakes.. it almost fooled me into believing they were actually modeled  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Where are the guns?

maaaaah, it's not my fault, volition drew it that way lol (I changed sole parts tho). I dunno, I may make the cockpit wider (his taller, but there's shadows on the bottom  part). What the other people think?
lol, darkage didn't like my intakes  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
the guns? well, two are on the back of the ship (the blue prongs), and the others are... well don't ask where the others are for now (I'll tell you when I know lol)

I'm pretty good at making shield icons, so if you want to send me your ships to [email protected], then I'll get started straight away...

I was expecting a figure like that, it seems very detailed. What about the textures? What res are you using?

Title: ITF Benkei
Post by: Nico on September 19, 2001, 10:32:00 am

it's just one 256*256 map
edit: plus one 64*64 map, the generic yellow thruster exaust map, used on about all my ships.

Looks great! I can't think of any improvements.

Venom, I'll get started on those shield icons as soon as possible (I'm at work now, but as soon as I get home...).
