Title: A slightly less ridiculous Jotun
Post by: Galemp on September 29, 2004, 05:40:35 pm: Hey all,

I really like the design of the Jotun, but I was unimpressed by its mapping. Additionally, 80m is a bit too large for some purposes... so for NTV I've remapped and resized it. It's now only using one texture, much crisper, and is a more reasonable 42m long. You can use it, or not; but posting it on the Inferno Archives would be appreciated.

Post by: Woomeister on September 29, 2004, 06:11:37 pm: No use to us since it's too small for the exectioner bomb, and looks tiny to it's EA and Vasudan counterparts.

Ours is single map too, so is the Banshee, Gagana and all of the other old models.

Post by: Galemp on September 29, 2004, 06:57:13 pm: I figured as much. Ah well.

and your version used a single map? The one I have uses five 512*512 maps, grizzly1-grizzly5. They're awfully stretched and since they mirror both sides of the model it's wasting space as well.

Post by: Woomeister on September 29, 2004, 07:07:16 pm: I sliced the ship in half and baked it to a 1024^2 map.

Do you know how BIG its bombs are? They'd never fit on an Ursa-sized bomber. The Executioner is larger than an SF Dragon, if I remember correctly.

Post by: Galemp on September 30, 2004, 06:37:53 pm: Not every campaign that wants a bomber that looks like the Jotun has a bomb the size of a small fighter.

Post by: Woomeister on October 01, 2004, 05:52:59 am: yeah but we do, and there's plenty other bombers out there at that smaller size.

Ah the hell with it.

"This bomber will give your enemies the privilege of a 22-kilometer tombstone!" ;)

Post by: Blitzerland on October 01, 2004, 05:29:07 pm: Breakthrough! I was waiting for something like this...mind if I use it in my campaign?
Title: A slightly less ridiculous Jotun
Post by: Galemp on October 02, 2004, 01:07:34 am: If I did mind, do you think I would have posted it here? :p

See? I knew there was a demand for it.

Post by: Blitzerland on October 02, 2004, 02:38:25 pm: I needed an Ursa mk. 2 :D

We have an Ursa mark 2, it's the next bomber down from the Jotun.

Post by: Zarax on October 03, 2004, 04:27:26 am: Err... It is a WIP, right?
Seriously, it doesn't match your other models quality standards...

Post by: Woomeister on October 03, 2004, 04:28:51 am: Well it's 10x better than the Sabus.

Post by: GT-Keravnos on October 03, 2004, 04:53:37 am: Hey, Lay off! If I could make a game it would be all Ursas! And this one is about 3.000 better than the original.
