Title: Bullfrog - Heavy Fighter Model
Post by: Fractux on November 17, 2003, 01:48:41 pm: OK, well so far this is the result of my work on my first fighter. It has turned out decent, and right now I'm just learning the ropes of texturing using the GIMP.

I'm not planning on putting this to use, but I am releasing it here for anyone who may want it.

It's going to take me a long time to draw the textures, and they are not going to be top notch since it's my first attept.

Here is everything I've done so far.

The download links are after the pics.

Cheers!

I have to ask Fractux, are you working on a campaign at the moment? Cause MG could use a good modder and if this is what you can do on your first attempt I'm impressed :D

Post by: Alan Bolte on November 17, 2003, 04:33:23 pm: I like the front part, I like the top view, and I like your ideas for texturing. However, that double hull is a bad concept to begin with, is modeled a bit awkwardly, and looks out of place with the rest of the fighter. I'd suggest just eliminating the lower part and thickening the upper wing. I'd suggest messing around with the downward wing curve and the gun shape too.

Post by: Bobboau on November 18, 2003, 01:51:59 am: looks very HWish, I didn't like HW though
it's far too low poly and the textures are flat, the cocpit is particularly uninspired,
not much nice to say about it, generaly I don't pos, but I'm in a fairly tired odd mood and I felt like pointing out that it looked like you had a history with HW or soething
it does have some marginaly interesting conepts but I don't think they were brough to any were near there potental

Post by: IPAndrews on November 18, 2003, 05:32:04 am: It needs smoothing a bit. It's a nice concept although I'm not sure how well it fits in with the FS2 universe. The front does but the back is straight off either the Whitestar or a Romulan Warbird. Take your pick.

Post by: Lynx on November 18, 2003, 05:45:49 am: Actually that's one of the coolest models I've ever seen here.:yes:
I like it's F-22 Raptor look; it looks very interesting, the textures need more color though, but the model is almost perfect IMO.
