Title: GVD Kephir - in DEV
Post by: TrashMan on June 22, 2003, 06:32:18 am

Here's a pic of a Vasudan destroyer currently in DEV - model done by Challenger and me.
Now I just slapped on some crappy textures - IGNORE THEM, they will be completely replaced. And the model is still not done so any good suggestions are welecome

nice :nod:

But it looks more like a bomber then a capital ship. :blah:

Yep, like an oversized bomber. Why not extending a rear section out of it to make it more cap-ship like?

It's a tad on the Blocky side.  Maybe add some more curves and such.  Also very thin looking, but I guess that's what your going for.

I would add some extrusions to it. Break up the flatness, you know.

Surely khepri?  (made a fighter with that name, don;t remeber seeing any other Egyptian name spelled Kephir).

Looks a bit blocky, iMO - I definately think you need to make it more curved and try to remove the flat planar edges (with sloped ones)

It's definitely too blocky for a Vasudan ship.

Hey wait a minute... Somebody go get Diamondgeezer! This thing looks like one of Space: Above and Beyond's Hammerhead fighters!:p :D

I thought it was just a reskin (of the hammer head). Doesn't really look vasudan too me, waaay too thin.

I will use extrusons to make it some smoother. I'll add more detail and stuff, and with better textures it will look large.

b.t.w. - we're making a figter/bomber using the same design - the GTF(or B) Mantis

Title: Looks good!

Eventually any original ship will look like something else (There are a limited number of set shapes for major things like nose,cockpits,wing tails.. So look is not an issue... I argee needs to be more noisy, too smooth. Eager to see another version.

   However if you want to pimp something as a ripoff, here you go! bab5 beat you to it here is the EA Icarus! I can't wait to see these go head to head with DG's Hammers! :lol:

  DG wanna help me out?these are 2479 pollies as one object (damn heavy fighter!). looks good though huh (I love any ship with the bab5 engine fins!)..

GeezerSoft company policy, I don't touch B5 with a ten foot clown pole. 'Sides, my computer's spread all over my room right now (I'm having to sleep on the sofa for fear of squashing stuff)

Reminds me of a Klingon Bird of Prey. A bit blocky though.

Needs some superstructure, and make it more curvy. Rake the wings back (or forward) a bit, and possibly angle them down slightly. Nice concept, though. :yes:

We'll I could angle the wing down a bit...

Rake them bak? Which ones? The main wings or the smaller ones?
