Title: After a long trip...
Post by: Raven2001 on October 15, 2003, 04:52:34 pm
... here they are! Some more ships.

1st, is the GTD Phaeton, a GTVA attack destroyer. This model is still a WIP (only 2500 polys), and is due to changes, but the main design is this one... btw, ideas for this one are welcome

Last, but not the least the Vasudan destroyer, a 5200 polys behemoth... no texturing yet on this one (just got TS6, and still trying to figure out how to UV map correctly with it...)

I've said it before but I'll say it again :yes: Just watch the angularity around the front sections. :)

Post by: Raven2001 on October 15, 2003, 05:01:07 pm
of which one?? you know, much of that angularity is not visible with smooth shading :)

First one.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD AND CHUNKY - Increase the compression on the other images!

Um, like teh Sol Cruiser.

Incredibly impressed with the Vasudan beast.

Wow, that Vasudan thing is awesome... I'm not crazy about the front (fine in itself but makes the rest of the ship look freaking HUGE) The cruiser is cool too, but the destroyer is my favorite.  What the Hecate SHOULD have looked like :yes:

I really want this one!  (http://nodewar.penguinbomb.com/aotd/Raven/CIMShipPics/Phaeton%202.jpg)

It's got to be one of the only terran designs by Fans that I like! :D

Title: Opinions as requested
Post by: GT-Keravnos on October 15, 2003, 07:46:52 pm
First one, yep some models have that indefinite "classic" quality.

Phaethon has that in spades.

Second one, from the sol dominion, looks like a small brother to the Phaethon, but that is a good thing, since it offers some linearity and familiarity that ALL modern navies have.

Keep it as is. It looks "ordinary" like all destroyers or frigates finally look. They are not supposed to be quite pretty just good old utalitarian ships. Their "beauty" is in the way they fit in, become part of the picture. That's why I really like it.

Vasudan, hmm, I don't like it, too weird for me. But then that is just MY opinion. I 'm honest about it. :)

the first one looks great, but a lit view would at least flesh out all the polys since the colors seem to be blending with the background

Excellentwork Rav. I personally think the Vasudan one is a bit husky, but it still ro)(0rz

The Vassie destroyer is really nice! I like it!

Very nice. :) vyper's right about the compression dude, those pictures can be at least a quarter their current file size. :p Anyway, the meshes are fantastic - slap some textures on them, baby!

Ok, a renewed version of the Phaeton, which one do you like the most??

Also, I'll put the Sol cruiser for DL in a week or so... I'm not quite happy with the design...

I dunno Raven, this one looks a little spindly.  The first one seemed more filled-out to me.

I said it before and I'll say it again

f*ck

top notch man, top notch. I seems you already have a Hecate-like fleet going on. On one hand, the first version of the Phaeton looks more bulky and more closely resembles the proportions of the Hecate (and any other Terran destroyer) but on the other hand the new version looks much more like a Drednaught (ala Collussus) due to its length (asuming the width is the same).

I suggest you make the first one a destroyer and the second one a Drednaught or a super Destroyer, maybe even a Carrier.

Don't stop making models man, you are very good at it.

c'mon now, we need some texturers for these babies. Seriously...Aldo? Wootmeister? Anyone? These models are just too good to pass up.

When will you be releasing these as pofs Raven? That might improve the chances of them getting textured, though you seem to be pretty good at that yourself (the textures ship in the other thread)

I would take away the front fines or put them closer to the hull and put the second fines a little bit lower...cause at the moment it always reminds me of a fish ^_^

I would also say make the middle part a little bit broader, just looks very hungry to me as it is now..

Try how it looks if you place the engine part under the upperline of the ship...

For everything else...realy good work, may I ask how many polys at the moment?

Post by: Raven2001 on October 19, 2003, 08:21:53 am
about 3000 Polys...

Rictor, I won't put these ships out for DL before the release of CIM...
