Title: Terran Cruiser. LPC Galleon - ITHOV
Post by: TopAce on May 08, 2004, 07:48:45 am
This ship will take part in the Into the Halls of Valhalla Campaign (http://mods.moddb.com/gallery/3155/).

Click on the underlined green text (http://mods.moddb.com/gallery/3155/11939/) to see the ship. I know it is not a masterpiece, but I decided to show this to you, just to justify ITHOV is not dead.
You can see that in-game as well, if you browse the gallery.

It's kinda undetailed, even by Vanilla Standards.

I have bad experiences with detailing. Models are too sensitive. I daren't do more boolens. The whole model would work berserk.

I've yet to do Booleans on a Mesh. Heck, I hardly know what they are.

Hm. Nope. Never used it. I usually take a block, and just extrude and cut the heck out of it.

I basically don't know hat to add as details. Holes, greebles, or what?

I like to make little do-dads sticking out all over the place, but then again, my meshes are nothing special...

Yeah. Too bad Goobs got something against it. :doubt:

Can we overrule him?

TopAce : DaBrain is on the right track there. Try to make your extrusions look less like rectangles simply bolted onto the side of your ship.

Raa: What was the Khnum? I've not seen it.

Of course, but that's chapter 2, so why worry now. ;)

Lets just carry on with our... emm... secret plans :D

*peers out from behind the thread*

Aha!  Caught you!

I told you, I LOVE the Khnum.  The only problem is that it looks way too Terran.

Well, I called it the Takishima, but...

Chapter 2 will show off how competent (or impotent) a modeller I am. :nod:


Goob, why can't a Vasudan ship look kinda Terran?

"Kinda" Terran is fine.  It looks very Terran.

We should wait until Chapter 2 to discuss this, though.

We're not hostile, we're giving honest critiques.
And honestly, that ship is...just ugh.

Less critiques, more constructive criticism. :nod:

Tell him what it'll need, for it to not look like a newbie made it.

Neat look to it. Altough a galleon is more of a freighter and less of a warship, altough they were armed to defend themselves.

Add holes, add greebles, add more distinct textures, make the mesh less blocky. If a good model is a wood carving, your cruiser is a block of wood. Make it slimmer and add details--bridges, projections, grooves, holes, etc.

*re-subscribes thread*

I gave inspiration about a ship from a cutscene of a game, which's name I do not tell you. :)
