Title: First (finished) attempt at a Vasudan ship
Post by: aldo_14 on January 09, 2002, 03:03:00 pm: (no name yet, i'm considering the GVF Ramses)

The textures need a bit of detail added IMO, I've also since recoloured the light blue exhaust 'pipes' to be a sort of brownish - yellow - more in keeping with the rest of ths ship.

Any suggestions on how to improve it are welcome... (I was possibly going to enter this into the model contest once I've improved the maps a bit. Or I might just enter it as it is... not sure)

(stats)
8 primaries, 2 secondary banks, comparable to Erinyes (equivalent class).

Dimensions - 20-13-20 (width-length-height)

renders

Note: forgot to turn on smoothing in 3dex for these renders, although the model is smoothed in FS

In game

If someone would do the interface art for me, I could probably releas it now.

For the massive amount of surface area on this model, there's practically no internal volume.

I don't deny that. I just assert that it's an illogical design (which, from above, looks more Shadow than Vasudan).

I also assume it's remote-controlled, since the engine clearly occupies the cockpit.

I can just see the trailing pylons flexing in and out in response to the boosters firing...

Um... Can we have larger renders for wallpaper? Hell, Setekh! Can you render a tech report on this pretty please? I'll buy you some Haight's truffles? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I don't deny that. I just assert that it's an illogical design (which, from above, looks more Shadow than Vasudan).
I also assume it's remote-controlled, since the engine clearly occupies the cockpit.

I think it's from a concept I did during a Professional Issues lecture, of all things.... no idea where the actual design comes from....it is suppossed to look odd though (alien, heehee (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) )

and there is pilot space I think, because the pilot can stand more or less upright in the cockpit (bit like a Starfury in that way - all the subsystems are grouped in the 'arms', which kind of protect the engine.

It's about 700 polys (LOD0), which is a bit highg... unfortunately, one of the textures seems to have become doublesided, so I can't boolean weld it in TS5. So LOD1 is the untriangulated LOD1, and LOD2 was collapsed in 3d Max, and does look a bit odd in modelview (but not long range, thank god).

but it was a nightmare to UV Map, and some of it is a bit buggy (nothing major you can really see if you didn't make it though - just 1 or 2 planes).

Setekh and Aldo, I can help with the tech database write-up, if you like. My English education and FRED Zone experience is a big boost in writing up this stuff (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Aldo, I also have a couple of new tech database write-ups for some of your old MODs (namely, the GTF Vesuvius, GTB Peregrine and GTCa Warlock) that I'd like you to see. There were a couple of grammar errors that I saw in these MODs, so I took it on my own initiative to make some new write-ups for you to examine. (I also e-mailed you about this, but I don't know if you got my e-mail yet.)

Post by: Anaz on January 23, 2002, 03:44:00 pm: funny idea...give the vasudan ship a f***** huge engine glow (so that it almost fills the prongs). I think that would look cool.

Geeze...I cannot think straight today...

Gmax, AND it is FREE

Gmax download page ("http://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/gmax_index.html")
--------Added since--------
I just installed the dam thing and found out that Gmax want let you export objects. thus it is useless. Sorry.

and use this to convert the models into COB

3d exploration download page ("http://www.us.righthemisphere.com/products/3dexplore/downloads/index.htm")

But u still need truespace to set up linking.

I believe that Sandwich has found a way to get useful models out of Gmax and into Freespace. Do a search for recent threads started by him (or just ask him).
