Post by: Nico on August 21, 2003, 08:38:52 am: it has a nive tough military feeling to it. nice model :)

Post by: mikhael on August 21, 2003, 09:18:02 am: I'm with Venom. Excellent work.
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: IceFire on August 21, 2003, 09:28:40 am: Very good work. Looks like a functioning military installation.
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: FreeTerran on August 21, 2003, 11:52:02 am: Hehe right guys its an military installation

Mesh by TrashMan textured by Me
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: Knight Templar on August 21, 2003, 01:23:50 pm: I've always liked the mesh, but the monotone textures that seem to come with it each time are hard on the eyes.

Post by: TopAce on August 21, 2003, 03:13:21 pm: Nice one. Let me guess: Textured by Lithunwrap. :)
Far better than any models Renegade Ressurgence will be using.

Post by: redsniper on August 21, 2003, 05:04:40 pm: What was it modelled with? I like it.
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: Solatar on August 21, 2003, 05:12:14 pm: Model is awesome, personally I think the textures could use work. It's too boring. Sking it with Arcadia textures.
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: Nico on August 21, 2003, 05:30:39 pm: I think the maps fit well with the model, I wouldn't change a thing. No need to go overboard with lights and windows, etc.

Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about. Military stations wouldn't have lots over external windows or crazy lights. The textures are perfect right now.

Post by: Hellbender on August 21, 2003, 09:17:39 pm: Has a nice forbidding fortess feel to it - something to feel safe about inhabitting and intimidating to attack.

Good job.
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: Flipside on August 21, 2003, 09:23:22 pm: Agreed, it's looks very imposing and unmoveable :D

Very very nice work indeed! I'm jealous ;)

Flipside :D

I suppose if I'm pushed for a suggestion, I would say add some twiddly bits (Radar etc) on the lower sections. Just to break up that panel texture :)

Post by: phreak on August 21, 2003, 09:23:41 pm: it looks nice. i never liked the aeolus tile though. great work though.

Yeeeeaaaaah! At least a man who doesn't spend month to texture his models! :p
What are the sizes? Height, Width, Length?
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: FreeTerran on August 22, 2003, 06:29:27 am: Its about 6 km in lenth and can carry cruisers
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: TopAce on August 22, 2003, 06:35:48 am: So it is a Colossus without engines?

Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: TrashMan on August 22, 2003, 07:05:36 am: No, Terran, I modeld it with Truespace 5.1.

Yes, it is 6km long, it's heavily armed.
8 anti-cap missile launchers
12 beam cannons
several Medium Ion Cannon Turrets
a score of flak/aaf and laser turrets

It has 4 fighterbays (easily seen sticking out on the bottom part), and 2 repairbays for freighters (due to their size even cruisers can dock and reapir there)
Bigger ship dock on the end of it's "arms"

I'll add radars and texture the turrets..perhaps we'll change texture or two... I do think that install01-03a would look better as the window section..

Oh well...we'll see

Just don't forget next time. There are only a few of us TS modellers around as it is without you bumping down the numbers :D
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: TrashMan on August 22, 2003, 04:30:36 pm: Actually I use both MAX and TS....
They work excellent together...
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: J.F.K. on August 23, 2003, 06:43:37 am: Damn, that's one good fortress. :)
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: Bobboau on August 23, 2003, 07:03:37 am: looks prety good, though there needs to be some more variation in the textures, just a diferent armor on diferent sections,
and one minor sugestion would be if it isn't too dificult maybe give the two long flat sideways thingys a slight angle to them, so rather than being totaly flat they have something to them, flat and strait lines are easier for people to proces to it makes it look smaller and less complex than it could
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: TrashMan on August 23, 2003, 03:56:51 pm: I could do that...

But as far as textures go, look at toady warship.... they are never too colorfull...they have 2-3 similar colors MAx (gray, dark grey, even darker gray):D
Making it too colorfull only makes it look less realistic in my oppinion. Alltough using several different textures (but of the same colour) is a good thing.

Post by: FreeTerran on August 25, 2003, 06:21:57 am: New version textured by TrashMan
(http://www.cold-space.com/TrashMan/Screens/VanguartdNew.JPG)
I like my one more
Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: Sigma on August 25, 2003, 06:36:57 am: TrashMan's version isn't bad but the first one looks better.

It will be publical once the Dawn of the Apocalypse project will be ready. It would take quite a time until DOTA gets out.(Sorry, FreeTerran)

Hey, Freespace has made it for 5 years already, and 4 of those were before the source code release. I somehow think it'll hang around for a bit longer.

I know you didn't mention me, I simply asked what your point was with multiple FreeTerrans running around.

I am not paranoid, just curious :)

No, that was the starfields thread in the SCP forum, i needed you for upload, but i resurected my old AHTW storage...

Great model, but it is sort of too grey... I can't suggest how to fix that though...

Title: [DOTA] GTI Vanguard
Post by: TrashMan on September 04, 2003, 03:51:05 am: I want to make it look BIG. While my re-texturing does that, it losta bit of cool-effect. Maby if I darken some textures a bit....and replace one or two....
