Well it's nearly done. Around 1200 polys with those few laser cannons you can't clearly see. I gotta do some adjustments on those (which are not even visible in the shots) and on the texture. Need to fix some texture stretching.  Anyways, I think it looks ok mostly... except it kinda looks bland from the top view. GTCa Tanager is what I'm calling it. :P

Yeah, that's a really nice design - for some reason, it just seems more original than a lot of the stuff I've been seeing floating around here and there in past months. Very nice. :)

from the top it looks like a fish
from the bottom it looks like the halo marine dropship O_O

In other words - A+ Material!

That's awesome, VERY nice design.  What does GTCa stand for?  Carrier?

Here we go again. :rolleyes:

Whatever Solid Snake says no one argues. Okay? :D

The ship itself looks good though :yes:

I wasn't aware that asking a question constituted an argument. :D

Wasn't having a go at you. It's just that questions like that degenerate into a debate about what the designation for a carrier should be.

Whoa! Nice, IMHO pretty much in the same "cool ship"-series as GTCv Reyena.

Holy ****!

Don't ask me why but that thing has me wanting to use a :jaw: and I never use :jaw:.

If that thing had custom textures, it'd be damned near perfect. Lets see some wireframes, please? :)

Never been a fan of that Hecate texture, but very nice otherwise. :yes:

WOW:yes::D

This sets the standard of Terran ship modelling. It looks realistic and very original.

Look out HLP, the Raynor just gained a competitor.

realy nice :yes: :nod:
but you could placed those big turrets not only on top:doubt:

Title: I finished my ship; the Tanager
Post by: Lightspeed on March 26, 2004, 12:17:05 pm

it needs custom textures.

Title: I finished my ship; the Tanager
Post by: Zarax on March 26, 2004, 12:20:10 pm

Not necessarily...
Hecate/Iceni textures would fit pretty well imho

Title: I finished my ship; the Tanager
Post by: Nico on March 26, 2004, 12:37:39 pm

Imho, all capships need custom textures. The V tiled ones suck, honetly.

Nice design.  Looks hefty.

Me likes. But the screenshots are too dark.

Post by: Rictor on March 26, 2004, 01:55:20 pm

Overall, it looks very swanky, but I really don't like the back end. The engines are OK, but what really bothers me is the mid-back section, the sort of flat shape thing. It doesn't go well with the ship which is obvioiusly a bulky and hefty design.

Post by: Goober5000 on March 26, 2004, 03:36:50 pm

Whoa!  Really nice. :eek2:

Can you try retexturing it as Vasudan?  It looks very Vasudanish to me.

Title: I finished my ship; the Tanager
Post by: Flipside on March 26, 2004, 03:44:29 pm

Now THAT looks like a ship you'd want on your side when facing the Bad Guys ;)

The texturing doesn't quite look right to me personally, but the shape, and 'stockiness' of the model is brilliant :)

Very nice, I like it a lot.

That's one weird-ass bird.

Title: I finished my ship; the Tanager
Post by: Solid Snake on March 26, 2004, 09:19:52 pm

I agree with that bird being wierd-assed.

there are no intersecting polys on it if FS still has that z buff thingy problem.
(http://www.geocities.com/lonewarrior001/vtan-s05.txt)

I totally agree. I need some custom textures.  I'll wip some up and see how it looks.

From the side it bears some resemblance to an Aeolus.

Post by: Charmande on March 27, 2004, 02:02:13 am

That's got to be the second ugliest ship i've ever seen.

...but i guess that's just my opinion, it's a good ship, as in, there's nothing bad about it.  It's just horribly ugly to my eyes!

Now, get some screenies of that in FSO. ;)
