Well...

Kalifireth should be interested, me hopes...

I have a pof version, but I'm still optimizing and editting it. What do you think so far? It's not meant to be exactly the same, so don't say it's not the same. :p

Post by: StratComm on October 28, 2003, 08:26:52 pm: I don't see why the front view's so square. It's a cool design but the front profile seems out of place.

EDIT: And Raa, can you make a good fighter map?

Post by: Knight Templar on October 28, 2003, 09:04:11 pm: yea, like I said, play with the top/front/bottom a bit, so it doesn't look so much like a rectangle. :)
Title: Fighter roughly based on the F/A-38 Mustang Concept (Deep Angel)
Post by: Taristin on October 28, 2003, 09:08:23 pm: Already changed.

It's at 327 polies, and I can even whack off more, without any detail loss. :)

Gonna put uns on the wings maybe...

Edit: yes, the bottom one does show a part of one wing that's not the same as the other, but I fixed it. :p

Post by: Flaser on October 29, 2003, 10:05:48 am: Do a detailed version.

HT&L should be able to handle it.

BTW looking sweet.
Reminds me of the X-29.

Post by: Taristin on October 29, 2003, 05:07:01 pm: I'm no good with detailed models... I'm rther surprised at how well this came out. Besides, it'll be too fast for high detail to be seen, so it'll be unesessary. :)

Post by: Sheepy on October 29, 2003, 05:36:41 pm: that on the other hand could be a problem, but you will never learn if you dont try, just save a copy of what you got the start playing with it :nod:

I can attempt to, but I'm not sure how to make it look FS-y

Post by: Setekh on October 30, 2003, 02:22:57 am: It's meant to be a fighter, and a fast fighter. If you only want this for in-game, don't bother with the additional detail. At least, not yet. ;)

Post by: Taristin on October 30, 2003, 01:02:37 pm: Editted, with slightly more detail. 450 something polies, but it's heavily triangulated. I can, and will knock it down to less. :)

Title: Fighter roughly based on the F/A-38 Mustang Concept (Deep Angel)
Post by: Flipside on October 30, 2003, 01:18:34 pm: I think it might be a good idea to keep fighters moderately low poly anyway, as Raa points out, it's going too fast to be able to see anyway, and besides, the less polies we use for the small fast ships, the more polys we have to play with for the bigger, slower ships.

Looks good that fighter Raa, kind of like the outcome of a confused evening between a Mara and a Perseus, which adds up to an interceptor from Hell ;)

Flipside :D

-variable wing geometry XF-19 style?

Sorry, I missed this...

Dunno. I can say, perhaps, it's a ship from the FS-2 era, used as a planetary atmospheric defense vessel, but also can enter space for a limited amount of time?

If that made sense...
