Post by: Setekh on October 07, 2003, 04:36:56 am: A few hours ago? Dude, she is sweet. :) Only thing is, the name "Belial" is already taken by one of Volition's original ships, a sentry gun.

How long have you been Freespace modding, dude? That's some pretty tight work for so little time spent. :yes:

Oh, and welcome to HLP. :)

:welcome:

Post by: Raptor on October 07, 2003, 04:45:02 am: Baby Sathanas! aawwww.....

Looks good, but it seems a little unblanced because of the arm, but as it's Shivan, it can get away with it. I assume that there would be a major beam on the end of the arm.

We (HLP in general) need more Shivan ships.

ahhhhhh crap!, lol, how did i miss that, must be too much coffee. lol.

Oh well i'll have to change the name n the screenshot then.

I've only just started making ships for my homeworld 2 freespace mod. But ive played fs2 and fs for ages.

Post by: Setekh on October 07, 2003, 05:01:55 am: Ishtar's free, as far as I know. Just don't pick "Chimera". :D

Plan on converting her to POF?
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: karajorma on October 07, 2003, 05:25:10 am: That's a pretty nice ship. :) Although it does look a little like you join 4 together to make a sathanas :D

BTW shouldn't this be in the modding section?

BTW you made this within a few hours?! Man, that's fast. Even textured!
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 07, 2003, 08:29:42 am: Yeh, the idea came to me, i scetched a basic outline then started mak'in it in 3dsmax. Took me a while to get the rear part of it made after that i just improvised the details. Texturin was the easyest part, i had all the textures allready converted.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: TrashMan on October 07, 2003, 08:49:00 am: Hey, Devils Hitman...are you free? Are you working for any mod?
DOTA could use a modeler/texturer.

And that sweet ship too.....:D

http://www.angelfire.com/droid/devils_hitman/freepacefc.htm

i posted it in the mod forum. ....ummm somewhere.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: karajorma on October 07, 2003, 09:18:58 am: I had to save it and whack the gamma up for the picture to see it but it does prove my point a little :)

I'm hoping we'll see this in FS2 itself and not just in the HW2 port.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: TrashMan on October 07, 2003, 09:22:07 am: Homworld 2 mod... Sound promising...

I work on...let's see.....4 FS2 mods...+ my own War3 campaign (I allso used to make my own NWN campaign and several ST stuff, but I put them on ice).
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 07, 2003, 09:50:45 am: Lol, well ok, im working on the Dragonball u mod for unreal 2003. Ardan nights mod for nwn. My homeworld 2 mod. And helpin out a number of ppl in modding stuff.....:ha:

i suggest that you apply for a swooh account to host your site/images, so you don't have any pop-ups, banners, or bandwith problems.

Swooh?
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: kasperl on October 07, 2003, 10:31:35 am: www.swooh.com

i think

it's a hosting thing from a member here, he offers 100MB free, no popups, banners, or other stuff.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Styxx on October 07, 2003, 11:32:04 am: Best luck with the mod, let us know when you have some actual screenshots.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Woolie Wool on October 07, 2003, 11:32:37 am: Release your model file for the Ishtar and someone could probably do something with it. Is the big arm a BFRed?
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Hellbender on October 07, 2003, 12:08:59 pm: Hmm, looks great, but says "light cruiser" or "frigate" to me more than "destroyer".

Nice work!

Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Charlotte on October 07, 2003, 12:32:51 pm: Whoa, looks VERY nice :D
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: mikhael on October 07, 2003, 01:15:26 pm: Not bad. I'd have put the lone arm underneath, but that's a mere aesthetic concern. Your poly usage is excellent. You get a lot of detail even before you add the texture. Good job.

If no one else has recruited you, I need some help with Shivan models for the 158th. ;)
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Raven2001 on October 07, 2003, 03:42:43 pm: Very nice ship dude!! Since it is for HW, the 500 polys are just good, but if you want to make it for FS2 (and I sure hope you do... good designs are always welcome, specially shivan), highen the poly count :)

Welcome to the HLP!!!
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 07, 2003, 05:02:37 pm: Another one. It started as a builder unit of sorts, but i got fed up so i messed around with the ishtar and made arms outta it then i added them to this model.

http://www.angelfire.com/droid/devils_hitman/Pics/scarab.jpg

thanks 4 all the wikid comments :yes:
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: mikhael on October 07, 2003, 06:14:05 pm: Very nice. You've certainly got a way with Shivan models.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Galemp on October 07, 2003, 07:28:38 pm: Very cool! What you might want to do, though, is to mount the arm on the rear right quadrant instead of in the middle. Asymmetry=good. It would also balance it out a bit, so it's not so lopsided and awkward.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Black Wolf on October 07, 2003, 09:09:44 pm: Damned fine, both of them, though I would suggest changing the name from scarab, as that's a more egyptian (ie. Vasudan) reference.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: StratComm on October 07, 2003, 09:18:29 pm: The Scarab looks a bit like it ran into something bigger than itself... what happens if you stretch the claws and nose out to 1.5x or 2x length?

EDIT: Actually, all the nose really needs is to have the height of the red area reduced I think... and the claws should go a little past the front rather than hanging behind. But very cool :yes:
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Bobboau on October 07, 2003, 09:39:28 pm: yes, up the poly count for new stuff, were going to get HT&L soon so it realy isn't an issue any more,

that first ship is prety good, needs some spikes or something to balence the one arm though, the second one you made is just good all around, in the wire frame the arms look a bit too dence compared to the rest of the ship, but on the textured model this isn't notisable, only recomendation for it would be some spikes comeing out from the bottom, but it doesn't need them, it is very shivanish as it is (FS1 shivanish, the better of the two), in fact the only problem I have is (:)) the name, Scarab is egyption, that is for Vasudan ships, you need something demonic
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Charmande on October 07, 2003, 11:37:16 pm: the Ishtar looks like a fighter to me.... and the scarab (PVS Scarab fs1 vasudan support ship?) looks like a shivan bomber to me.... maybe i'm just insane or crazy.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Ulala on October 08, 2003, 02:03:50 am: :yes: :yes: :yes: The Scarab looks especially menacing. :nod:

I don't agree, it's fine as it is.
would make a cool transport.

Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 08, 2003, 05:09:27 am: Thanks for the comments.
Im trying to move away from other shivan designs, (just put some spikes on it n paint it black n red) :nod: I could put in some jagged bits tho.

The reason why the arms are so dence is coz there actually made from the ishtar ship, i just added a symetry modifier to it n it came out with a cool shape. Then i just added it to this model.

The back has a nice texture to it, its sort of a lumpy carapace.

I gotta think of a new name, i sorta just added scarab coz it looks like one.... Mabye Agares, Barbatos , Abigor ,Malaphar , Byleth . ect........

thanks again.:cool:

Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Flipside on October 08, 2003, 02:46:55 pm: Very very nice model! I think the Scarab (Though Kraken tends to leap to mind when I see it) looks Very nasty, sort of like a mini-Sath :D

Flipside :)
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: kasperl on October 08, 2003, 02:48:36 pm: dude, you shouldn'tstop modeling, ever.

normally, we only do this to our programmers, but this is a special case.

*brings out chains and electrowire*

*chains Devils_Hitman to his desk, and administers shocks if modeling stops*

now, make us more of these aw-inspiring models!
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Nico on October 08, 2003, 03:56:54 pm: btw, if you know what's good for you ( :p ), you'll make the ishtar a cruiser and the scarab ( I suggest ogre as a name, btw ) as a transport/dropship/whatever of that size. Would be more original and useful than yet another destroyer :)

I wish I could do that.....

I thought at first the second one (scarab) was a heavy fighter, but turned out it's a destroyer. :wtf:

And your Homeword 2 mod might actually be the thing that pushes me to buy that game. Commanding the Freespace capital ships is something I wanted to do for a while.

Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 10, 2003, 09:06:36 pm: here's another one,

http://www.angelfire.com/droid/devils_hitman/Pics/unknown.jpg

dunno what im gonna do with it. mabye make it part of another ship, or keep building on to it.

Dont worry about the classifications, any of them could be fighters, cruisers, destroyers, anything. Havnt worked it out yet.

Models first > explanations later. :ha:

It's a Shivan 'Thing'! (as in, that silly hand with no body in those 'Adams Family' shows):lol:

Suggestion: Build out the back, put turrets on the tips of each arm, and you could have a Hunter-Killer cruiser, only good at killing big ships. Kind of a cruiser version of the Sathanas!

Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 11, 2003, 10:21:14 am: The textures are just tiled, probaly the easyest type of textur'in.

the models only took about 3 - 4 hours each to make, texturein included. takes a lil bit of scetchin to make up a design, or i just make it up as i go along.

Good to be contributin' to the community, my models are 4 my homeworld2 mod, but i dont see why i cant release them as 3ds, cob, files so u guys can convert them to pof's n get them ingame.

Best release them in 3ds format, so everyone can open them. Cobs are good for those use TS, but there are others who hate TS with a passion.

BTW, I can't seem to get the whole pic of the last one. It seems to stop at about 3/4 down. Even refreshing dosn't work.:doubt:

aside from that, i love the page design.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Nico on October 16, 2003, 02:09:28 pm: yeah, but that doesn't prevent them from being cyborgs ;)
actually, V only stated that the hallfight shivans ARE the shivans, not some minions, remote guided bots or exo-armors hosting a smaller creature. But you can be sure the... her... lightning claws and the shoulder beam are not biological stuff ;)

But they are all very good.

What program did you make them in?

Post by: StratComm on October 17, 2003, 03:55:31 pm: We really need some new tiling textures, for all of the races. The one's we have now are just SO overused.

That Anark-linked ship may be the best-looking user-made Shivan ship I've ever seen. The other one sort of like it is very cool too.

Anyway... Yes. You're incredibly talented. It took me forever to get my Crimion and Kurruk into FS, or to look right for that matter. And you whip them out in 4 hours? Meh.

I need to learn 3dmax...

Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 18, 2003, 12:15:35 am: sorry about the new site errors. I'm still making the page and working out all the links.

I do agree that the textures are over-used, i'll map the ships out better later on, the tex's i got on there now are just placeholders.

Do u think i should do one more shivan ship, then make a few terran ones?, also i could start making fighters.

im going to try to make the little construction ship (u know, the ones that are building the colossus in the movie?) So i can use that as a builder unit.

Post by: StratComm on October 18, 2003, 12:31:06 am: I'm sure you'd be good at terran and vasudan ship designs too, but you're good at shivan modeling. You are the first. There are a couple of us around here that can model Vasudan ships decently well, and you can find all of the Terran stuff you want around here (much of which is quite good) but we'd all benefit more if you kept making Shivan models.

And about the textures; you actually have them applied very well. I wasn't complaining in the slightest about the way you used them. However, if you make a new Shivan tiling texture, we would all be extremely interested.

That is one sweet ship. Remember those old fashioned can openers? I could imagine it doing that sort of thing to a Colossus.:D

The poly usage is a bit weird, its about 420 at the moment. I like the textures tho, i might make it a carrier.

Post by: Black Wolf on October 28, 2003, 02:00:51 am: Hmm... different anyway. I'm not sure If I like this one as much as the others...
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Knight Templar on October 28, 2003, 02:19:19 am: t's really nice, but you aren't really building on the sides of it at all, so it makes it look wierd. That and there isn't much ship, although that'd be okay if it was built on the sides more.

Post by: Devils_Hitman on October 28, 2003, 02:38:46 am: you know its not near finished yet?, im not half way through.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Trivial Psychic on October 28, 2003, 02:42:09 am: I suggest lenthening the main hull (the section with the fighterbays), and adding some kind of spike wings onto it, shoulder mounted with a di-hedrall or an-hedrall, kind of like what GalEMP said, and maybe make the lower two spikes on the forward upper segment, point a bit more forward than down.

Later!

Post by: Galemp on November 06, 2003, 11:04:44 am: I think the huge arm on the bottom is too much; scale it way down, so it's about as big as the one behind it.

Otherwise, it looks great. :) Like a cross between a Demon and a Ravana, with some Shiamak mixed in. Keep it up.

FT is not the only one who wants to use your great ships! Please let us play a little bit with them! :D

Post by: kasperl on November 06, 2003, 01:21:35 pm: please?

that way you could let Lightspeed make Shinemaps for them, and we could include them even in the SCP vp as special bonus thingy's.

but shine and glow maps on these things would make them great.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: Devils_Hitman on November 06, 2003, 02:50:14 pm: I could make my own shine/glow maps , myself. I would just need to know how i have to do them to fit the fs engine.
Title: Shivan Ship
Post by: StratComm on November 06, 2003, 03:30:06 pm: Actually, you are iusing stock FS2 textures are you not? Most of those are already done (Lightspeed is tearing them up left and right) so you actually wouldn't have to do anything at all.
