Title: I have a model... and yet its incomplete...
Post by: deep_eyes on September 28, 2004, 07:45:44 pm
Mikhail about a yr or 2 ago was making me a model based on concept designs for a ship i created a couple yrs back. he never finished the model and its sitting in my lil ol hard drive collecting dust.

i would offer it up for anyone to use since my campaign ideas and mod dreams never bore fruit (no one to work with on my idea... friends came and went but with good reason, NO HARD FEELINGS HONEST!), but i would still hope to see it completed some day. i got the textures and all but it be nice to see it freespace usable.

maybe when i get out of MMP in school i can learn c++ and modeling so i can contribute to the community more than just as a texture artist....

BTW Ship Specs:

3.2 KM L
1KM total width at widest point
about 3 km high in highest point.
destroyer class
sleek
agile
and deadly.

3km tall?  I'd take a look at it as something to fiddle with, but the odds of finishing it are about as good as for Mikhael to do it.  Got any screens?

hey aldo, ITS A WIP! :mad:

but anyway, it is 3.2 KM LONG.... it may not look like it there doe to scale, but jeez it was the specs. if mikhail only made its brushes 4feet in length @ first thats on him....

but anyway, the design had called for the fin part to be a bit longer than that...(mind the 3.km hieght thingy, that was a misprint, it was meant to say about 1km...) that was its... err... LOD 3! its lowest poly lookin model....

criticz.... :ick:

the ship was to be a hybrid but it ended up going to be a PURE terran based design (story plot-may end up becoming terran/shivan hybrid). i just had the idea to make a corvette style and speed and ability with the size and power of a destroyer.

Interesting.  Looks like a cross between Macross and the Raynor.  I'm not sure what to think of the feet, but the design certainly has promise.

Cross between a Deimos and a Sobek, which isn't a bad thing, IMO.

If you do make it, release it please, because I could retexture and get that Terran/Vasudan hybrid I've been looking for...

Which is what a Battlecruiser or Battleship is. It would be nice to have one of those beside the Rainor, though the later should be given some nastier weapons to fit the Battleship theme.

Why are you getting all mad about?? You´re the one who advertized a model 3 km high! It´s only normal that people were expecting to see such a model...

Easy chief.  I was just looking forward to an interesting vertical design, 'tis all.

I'm say we dump the battle-thing or war-that, that thing is obviously made to kill lots of stuff, I say is a Super-Destroyer.  Of course that implies that it is one of a kind or has some kind of special ability.

the raynor is a battleship? i thought it was just a plain destroyer... oh well :)

ANY-wayz:

that ship has definite possibilities...

would you let me add a couple details and possibly give it a texture sceme just to see what happens...? pleez? :p
dont mean to steal your model, i just think its cool :) wanna see what i can do with it...

and while im here, can anybody tell me what this smiley is doing? ::hopping: it looks wierd...

Raynor = destroyer

Destroyer = battleship, by the descriptions people tend to assign to them.

Therefore, Raynor = battleship.

Actually it's designated Destoyer (GTD Raynor), so I don't know where you're getting that it's anything otherwise.

And that smily is :hopping: mad :)  Cracks me up every time though.

Please dont do that to a nice looking model, very unrealisitic, well as unrealistic as it could be

untrue. i pulled it off!

BTW, i dont know where, but somebody called the raynor a battleship... my veiw puts destroyer, battleship, and battlecruiser as 3 VERY different designations

Terran-Shivan's not so bad.

But I really would like that skinned as a Terran-Vasudan...*insert begging here*.

There is no convincing way of making a hybrid in terms of texture.  Ultimately one race's tecnique or the other's will be used to build the hull, which is what you're going to be seeing.

well, no, ive gotten to use shivan/vasudan/terran textures all on one model, still looks awesome.

the textures are only going to be terran. the only thing shivan bout it is the "story" aspect as is everything else in the game. i thought about implementing a few shivan-ish textures but it would maybe only be around the weapons or engines. however since its still a whip i am open to suggestions. if u want i can email u the file or something and let u guys run with it.... as long as like it can be made...
