A) Ships are referred to as "she" or "her" ;)

B) Looks good, but very similar to your other ship.

Title: How many pollies?
Post by: Star Dragon on December 15, 2003, 03:01:03 pm
Does it have to be sub-objected?

  How many textures... you know the basic stuff...

I'm converting HW2 ships right now and big problem with them is texture names too  long :)

plus they are slightly too big fro one object.

It'd look better as a Vasudan ship, but that's just my opinion.

The front definately looks Vasudan but the rear looks Terran So I guess a safe bet would be it's the GTVAD Nova... Good work with it! Hope you figure out what the problem is. Keep us updated please.

I suspect this is your problem. What it means is that one (or more) of your polygons has more than 20 sides. PCS doesn't like that much. The solution is to split the face into 2 or more polygons. Use the Polygon Draw tool in truespace (I assume you're using truespace) to do that.

As for the ship itself I find it simple but still quite nice. You've done a pretty good job there.

I'd call it the GTD Peloponnesus.

After looking at it again id say cut the "wings" in the front shorter. Or you could retexture them, the texturing job on the front dosnt give the ship justice....

EDIT: paste turrets all over its back end. Make it really scare the shizzat out of Alpha 1....

Actually, if it were possible, this could be considered the first true mesh of Terran an Vasudan technologies... I'm not sure if that's what you intended, but it resemples a Hectate merged with some Vasudan craft. What makes it are obviously the textures but the short "wings" in the front and those engines. I'll say it again, good work. You might have some trouble with those turrets, however. They'll fire through the ship unless you don't give them a constraining FOV. Good luck!
