Title: Shivan Fighter - SF Asherah
Post by: Rampage on July 31, 2003, 04:22:12 pm: I have "created" a new Shivan fighter! [NOTE: I, besides the SF Nyx, I never create new models from scratch.]

Without further ado, here's some MODELVIEW32 shots:

Post any opinions/complaints below.

PS: If you know where I stole this, needless to say, excellent model from, then by all means specify the source, its original name, and/or a picture of the original.

One thing I would say is make it a bit more organic - those spiky bits on the back are too straight, make them a bit more wavy and tendril-like. :)

Post by: Solatar on July 31, 2003, 04:30:34 pm: Kickass model, but I hate the textures. They just don't look like they "fit" the model.

EDIT: OT - 2500 posts!! woohoo.....
Title: cool fighter!
Post by: Star Dragon on July 31, 2003, 04:36:07 pm: I have yet to run across its progenitor... SO where did it come from?

Post by: Unknown Target on July 31, 2003, 04:53:55 pm: great model, but a bit low poly. and the textures = bleh.

And, yea, from the side, it does look a bit like the Lucifer :D

Mostly because it has the Lucifer texture on it. ;)

You know what, I agree! It is very low poly (Approx. 140). I also agree with the textures, to an extent. I personally like the body textures, but not the wing textures (too much red).

I may decrease the number of red on the fighter.

Post by: Galemp on July 31, 2003, 11:30:38 pm: I like it, a lot, but a little asymmetry would be nice... and it badly needs its own UVmap. Not to mention that if you have the super-hi-res Lucifer map installed these things will take up a lot of memory.

Post by: Charmande on August 01, 2003, 01:36:27 am: Nice model, even if it is low poly.

But i think it'd be better as a bomber than a fighter, no?

But red makes it Shivan!

Post by: Knight Templar on August 01, 2003, 05:02:06 am: red and black (or a dark grey) make it shivan. :p
Title: Shivan Fighter - SF Asherah
Post by: TopAce on August 01, 2003, 03:44:42 pm: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I meant red that it is a main color for Shivans. I meant only red can make it look like a Shivan one, not for example green or blue.

Title: Ficticiuos poll...
Post by: Star Dragon on August 01, 2003, 10:40:59 pm: THAT'S RIGHT: Step right up and make your choice for the next color of shivan fleet to terrorize the galaxy!

(Choose One please...)

Orange
Yellow
Blue (beat out aqua and purple)
Indigo
Ultra-Violet (requires black light equipted monitors)
Infra-red (requires Infra-Red goggles)
Millitary Camo (forest Green/Desert/Winter/or digital versions of previous three)
Tie-dye (kalidescopic)
and finally Transparent Aluminum (Cause like Scotty said, "How do we know they didn't invent the bloddy thing?") :lol:

This post is a humorous parody, all responses will have no impact on any mod that I am aware of (unless someone gets ideas)

L8tr! :lol:

Post by: J.F.K. on August 02, 2003, 02:00:03 am: Design good, but yeah, it would be improved greatly if you worked on the textures some more. :)
Title: Shivan Fighter - SF Asherah
Post by: Sigma on August 02, 2003, 07:02:21 am: Yes, the design is good. Looks like a nice new shivan heavy fighter! :yes:
Title: Shivan Fighter - SF Asherah
Post by: Thor on August 02, 2003, 10:32:16 am: How about Teal Shivans? Mauve? Neon Pink?

OT: Excellent ship design.

LithUnwrap.

I have a proposition for you guys. I am willing to give the mesh to someone who can do a better texture job. If you're interested, PM me and I'll give you the mesh. Then you can post your work here. Whichever one looks the best will be published and used in Attempted Suicides!

Is it at POF stage? I'm willing to have a stab, but I work best with existing pcx maps, and working from there....
