Post by: USS Alexander on April 24, 2004, 12:19:45 pm

Upgraded WIP

Added a few more component's like the gas pipes on top of the hull, engines part is almost finish and after that i'll begin at adding detail to the mesh.

an0n thats not much of a challenge...

Very nice detail coming along there :yes:, once its finished though it would be nice to see it in an animation or cutscene.

howz about 100 shuttles Vs a Battlecrab

That looks pretty cool.  Except it might make a better carrier than a transport... try putting a hangar in front of it.

Pffft... if you're going to own the thing, at least own it with style... Use a Sharlin or Warlock.....

Well i thought there where 2 poly's of the the upper hull section facing inward, but the poly's seem to be fine when i checkt it out in modeler:confused:  the poly's only get transparent when i face the camera at that angle, the model aint textured with any incidence angle gradients or so, so it most be some kind of glitch, i;ll figure out what it is, probbaly a slopppy moddeling glitch.

check the flatness of the polys, Alex. All you gotta do is select them and hit 'i' and it'll tell you their flatness %. I'm almost certain that they're just warped enough that you get a rendering error.

If you like, I can look at the mesh for you  too.

Oh, another thing! are those polys intersecting the top surface of the shuttle? Sometimes, when the normal of a surface originates from behind another poly, the poly sorting gets fruity.
