Title: Another Orion... [img heavy]
Post by: Swamp_Thing on September 28, 2004, 02:59:51 am: Anyone wants this thing? I´m cleaning my WIP folder. I know Orions are a dime a dozen, but i don´t remember ever seeing one like this one. I made it so that it has 2 figterbays, and not just 1. It also has a hangar that you can fly in, the entrance to the hangar is protected by a destroyable door. Blow it up and go in... Or it was supposed to be, as i didn´t finish it. I was going to scrap it, but maybe someone wants it. If not, it´s the recycle bin for you.

Post by: Striker on September 28, 2004, 01:01:31 pm: Yeah the fighter looks like a combination of the Cyone and Vesuvius fighters from Inferno.

I could texture that some time when I finish up the Machina Terra ships I have left. (Which reminds me, I forgot about them)

Yeah, you did the bulk of the texturing work and it does look fine indeed..
Now we better quit this before we get flamed for shameless self promotion:D

B.t.w. - teh last fighter on the list is the best..

Post by: Trivial Psychic on September 28, 2004, 09:30:34 pm: Actually, the first twin-ramp Orion was a simple mirror done by Woomister. TrashMan's is more extensive, with 4 engines on the rear and a series of turrets more geared for FS2 era. Its a good model, though it could use some map-combining, as it has a considerable number of textures.

Swamp_Thing, yours does appear to be FS2-oriented, given the dish-style turrets on the forward flanks, but its more the size of the standard Orion.

Later!

Post by: boewolf on September 28, 2004, 09:50:27 pm: I know this is getting a little off track, but this has been bugging me for some time. Does anyone else think that the Orian could have been given a lot more guns in FS2? Its hull geo is not too bad and there is definatly room for a lot more guns.

I would add them myself but i can't get a stable (solid) mesh into truespace 3.2.

Swamp_Thing do you still have the abouve shown modle in this kind of fromat? If so can I please use it to run some tests with more guns?

Thanks... I think it uses 54 textures...abozt the same as the standard Orion...

Post by: StratComm on September 29, 2004, 08:42:42 am: by "about the same" you mean "rediculously more" right? You do know that the standard Orion only uses 6 maps.
Title: Another Orion... [img heavy]
Post by: Swamp_Thing on September 29, 2004, 09:49:49 am: I think he meant 54 materials, and not 54 texture maps. FS has a max ceiling of 25 textures per model, as i recall it.
Materials are, however diferent. If you have some texture stretched or shrunk in any way, changing the repeat value, it comes across as a new material, allthough it´s made with the same texture map. Thus the 54 number. He probably stretched a few maps to fit some particular face, and ended up with that ridiculous high number of materials... I had that same thing happen to me, once.

:p
