Post by: Taristin on January 07, 2004, 07:53:38 pm: Like it? I think I'm getting better with MAX all the time...

*edit* The multi-part turrets were made by Raptor.

All the ones we have problems with you show us, all the good ones you release.:)

Post by: KARMA on January 07, 2004, 08:07:12 pm: ehy that's good!
probably some text variations on the grey plating on the side could be nice, but it is surely alredy well looking as it is.

I'm not with TVWP, (obviously, since I've got no icon) but I think that lools more Terran than Vasudan. Terran designs are tall and slim, while Vasudan ones are broad and flat. I'd say, give this more of a Fenris-ish colour scheme and make it a Terran cruiser, same time era. Just my opinion.

Later!

Post by: KARMA on January 08, 2004, 06:25:33 am: well, it really doesn't look vasudan in my opinion, at least it could be a terran-vasudan design.
I also think that the style is somehow different than the vanilla models, so it could be perfect for a next-gen ship or maybe a very old one

Title: Some new cruiser thingy
Post by: aldo_14 on January 08, 2004, 08:41:47 am: Looks good.

NB: It could be vasudan in the sense of that FS1 freighter (forget the name, it;s not in FS2), which was basically a reskinned amazon. Although I reckon it looks better as Terran.

Post by: Bobboau on January 08, 2004, 11:07:19 am: wow, that looks prety good, looks more like a futureistic design than a TV war era one, like the textures
Title: Some new cruiser thingy
Post by: Taristin on January 08, 2004, 12:03:27 pm: Thanks everyone, for the wonderful feedback. :D I hope to keep geting better at this. I only worked on that mesh for one day. :)

Unfortunately, my motherboard has just bit the big one, so I won't be able to do anything with the file until I get a new one...

Which means, KT, that I can't check my ICQ message (I forgot my password for ICQ lite, and I hate it anyway, so post whatever you said in the Aotd internal...?

I am (was) still turreting it, but as Veno..err.. Nico told me, I may want to add something to give some vertical height to it. Not completely sure if I want to, though, as I like it as it is...

Well, I'm off to go priceing MoBo's, and may have to wait 2 weeks to have enough $ for one. Probably longer if I want a chip to go along with it. But, thanks, everyone for the overwhelming responses. :)

Rickenbacker? Not as fat, but yeah....
Title: Some new cruiser thingy
Post by: SadisticSid on January 08, 2004, 03:49:13 pm: Looks a bit modern for TVWP I'd say. Great design though, looks like you are rapidly gaining the 1337 skills of the modelling elite!

Post by: Rampage on January 08, 2004, 06:43:06 pm: Hmm, it reminds me of the Somtaaw Multibeam Frigate for some reason unknown. But other than that, it's pretty good!

Cheers!

Post by: Taristin on January 09, 2004, 10:33:25 am: Well, considerring I have no idea what any of you are talking about, I must ask... anyone have a screeny of this rickenshaw thingy?
Title: Some new cruiser thingy
Post by: aldo_14 on January 09, 2004, 10:41:34 am: I think it's either the ship from System Shock 2 or Aliens.... i'm not sure. Searching in google brings up a bunch of guitars.....

EDIT - is the ship from SS2. Don't have a screenshot (and never played the game), but I remeber it as looking bloody cool.
Title: Some new cruiser thingy
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 09, 2004, 10:42:59 am: Yeah, it's one of the two ships from System Shock 2, the military one.
Title: Some new cruiser thingy
Post by: magatsu1 on January 09, 2004, 10:56:48 am: all my FRED missons include a Rickenbacker and Von Braun. Kinda like my little homeage...:D

SS2 is Looking Glass so ofcourse it's bloody cool !

UNN Rickenbacker: Heavy destroyer that is linked to the Von Braun to look after it, but ends up covered in the body of The Many. Mmmm, biomass..... Look for piccies at www.sshock2.com

Post by: magatsu1 on January 10, 2004, 04:20:07 pm: there's a SS2 section on 3DAP I think.
There's not a lot of shots of the ship ingame anyway.
Title: Some new cruiser thingy
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on January 10, 2004, 04:20:20 pm: It is almost impossible to find one.
I had a thread on the Rick a few months ago, and someone posted a pic in that.
I'll try and dig it up.
