Never really intended for FS2, Rescued and secured from Lar's model dump about 2 years ago.. Behold, the Shivan-Shadow hybrid SEPTERRA!
Yeah I know the hud is messed up but I was testing a mod at the time and the HUD table is bugged (my fault)...
(now someone turret and path it please) :D

Using Aurora to auto turret and Auto Path is a-1 supar-dupar!!!
-
It just crashed Aurora
BTW it's one object over 2400 poly's no subobjects
-
yikes... bad idea! for turrets they MUST be seperate subobjects, im 99% sure.
also, could we pleez get a better pic? i cant see...
-
turrets must have seperator subobjects
100% requirement
-
yay! im so smart...
BTW, when making swinging turrets, when you make the barrels, do you combine them? or just group them together?

Group them. Follow my FAQ to the turretting tutorial for more help.

a-like so:

let's see more piccys GRG.:)
-
It's a Super Star Destroyer turned Shivan...
-
Looks like a badly textured diamond to me.
-
I see nothing either Shivan or Shadow in that design, sorry. And the textures don't even give what's there justice.
-
It's barely textured. Looking at the image at night time, it's absolutely horrible. :shaking:
And it looks like a wedge. Or possibly that the LODs are incorrectly made, and all of them are being renderred. I can't tell. :ick:
-
Lar's abandoned it, but it was mapped for textures (it is completely textured)... Just cause you don't apprecite my interpretation doesn't make it lless useable :P It's One lod.
Besides this thing has one hell of a broad side (4 beam cannons above and below on each side) not to mention 3 dead forward bow ones. Only weak spot is directly behind...

Ok. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say that it's missing a custom UV mapping on those red chunky parts. But the streaking. That's a definate nono.
Also it looks like it's one of Ryx's nero's, only blockier, crossed with the zephyrus, and a wedge. Sorry to have to cross you for a second time, but it's a fugly model.
But don't take it to heart, since it is only my opinion.
-
The model looks pretty awful to me. And that big red texture with the black lines... looks like Spiderman's head mask thing.
-
It does need retexturing, most of it, but the model itself has promise.
-
Actually it's just a piece of spidey's mask as main texture but remembr this was 2 years ago adn I still don't know much about textures...
Oh I really don't care what other people think (besides it's not freespacey at all), I just like that kind of design cause it looks like something you's see for an evil anime type race.

Looks more like a giant semi-shivan Amazon drone. All its missing is the "SHOOT ME" sign.
-
Looks like itd be a ghost pirate ship or sumthin:wtf:........so what its been a long night
-
Amazon Super Advanced, to train pilots to attack Shivan capital ships?
-
TSM modules for that.
-
The best part of that shot is the Atheena icon...
-
I don't like those red wings. They do not make it look like Shivan.
-
Can't belive that someone found that old thing and dig it up ^_^
About textures...yes it should get some good textures and the turrets shouldn't be part of the model so that they can rotade.
Its realy a very old model..nearly the first I have ever made.
Lets see if you can get it running with a nice UV map and turrets and other stuff.
About the turrets...in the original model each turret had 3 beams ^_^
It was an beamweapon overpowered ship.
Beside that it was never intendet to be anything FS...a just for fun design.
Reminds me that I still got a B5 Model of a custom ship somewhere...should ask the TBP guys if they want it...still the model us buggy as hell.
-
It's me Star Dragon... I was one of the first to DL your Model dump remember (the Saturn became a generic Gundam Whitebase)...
I don't know if you remembered Demo Dragon but This was your Frigate model... 2 years ago I was messing with the idea of a robot mod based on 70's super robots and needed LIVING opponents, I think this looks nice..
(http://img85.exs.cx/img85/8629/DemoDragon.jpg)
Ready to eat you up!
-
See? That mesh looks promising. :nod:
-
If that was what I think it was its heavly changed...but still nice ^_^
About all the other old things...can't remeber what I put in that dump...most things I have deleted after that.
-
Absolutely NOTHING was physically changed (I never alter models remember).. It was simply replacing the texture maps you mapped out.
Yeah like 90% of them I deleted cause I couldn't do anyhting with them at the time. (they were in max format mostly & untextured).
However there was lots of good stuff in there...
Let me see if I can find some more goodies in my old conversion attempt folders (I have like several WIP folders from over the years)
[Edit]
Were these your two?
Bismark
(http://img21.exs.cx/img21/996/Bismark.jpg)
and Dragoon?
(http://img21.exs.cx/img21/5605/CRDragoon.jpg)
of course this was a long time ago.. I had limited textures to choose from then
:D
-
what the hell?
-
I was thinking that. You said it. :p
-
Yup these wheir my designs...maybe you should post them without textures...I think they are to confusing ^_^
Compared to the Hellcat I did with Lynx and other Wing Commander models these are awfull...but its funny to see them again.
-
So what are you saying something like "Only a mind touched by Vorlons can see the order in that chaos!"?
If you think those are bad.... TRUST ME, it could have been much worse! :nod:
No worries, I won't show those... But rememebr one of my better attempts (Gundam White base) : Lar's Saturn
(http://img32.exs.cx/img32/6089/WhiteBase.jpg)
If you seen the show I think you's agree there is a slight (but unintentional) similarity to one of the early designs.
-
Back on topic: I like the model alot. True the texturing needs a bit of work, but just because it is not shaped like a Shivan ship does not mean it is not good. You can always use it for another race.
-
The front part of that Septerra ship reminds me of a crossing between "Alien" and a D'Deridex Warbird, while the wings look like a fighter from one of the Wing Commander games (WC4?).
-
Saturn...can't even remeber that ship...made the Uranus..but Saturn...mh.
Beside that I found other stuff in a long not used folder while browsing my old stuff ...man the models are lowpoly...but interesting ideas...maybe I should do some modeling as soon as Wing Commander Saga and my real life dosn't consume my time.
-
You had some wild designs back then. We canonly benifite if int eh future you have time to kick out a few more (or better yet if you found more stuff not released yet have ANOTHER MODEL DUMP) : LAR'S DUMP II! (The Sequel)
;)
-
Since I don't know what was released in the first one their shurly would be some double...well maybe I can collect everything I have together and post it.
-
http://img85.exs.cx/img85/8629/DemoDragon.jpg
http://img32.exs.cx/img32/6089/WhiteBase.jpg
IIRC I dumped both of those in modeldump 2. The 'dragon' was a Shivan ramming frigate I was working on for OtT called the Andhaka (I believe), the Saturn was a Sol destroyer for Reciprocity 2 ( a convuluted and long story) made primarily with Orion textures.
-
Seams as if someone mixed up what models are done by who....well I think I have made the Worm shivan thing.

:D
*is gobsmacked*
not in the good sense.
-
Sorry Aldo after awhile I took every seperate dump last year and put them together in a folder calle (Old FS2 Model Dumps)....
Props to Aldo for those two!
As for the Worm and the Zecke, since people don't seem to like the spidey mask I won't show those two again (though I did post them, what 2 years ago as a texture test for a new race (though secretly they were for my Shivan-Shadow alliance)

My eyes felt funny/hurt the first time I looked at this. No joke. :D

With better texturing, it would be an excellent model.
Actually, it is a good model with poor texturing.
This post means no offence unlike some of the previous ones. :D
