Title: More of UT's untextured spaceship madness
Post by: Unknown Target on February 23, 2005, 06:27:44 pm: Whaddya think? :)

Cockpit still needs to be added. Budget is about 3500. And yes, if I get it textured, it's gonna be for Freespace 2 :) Polycount now is 2682.

EDIT: And I'd like to take this opportunity to note to everyone that the movie is STILL going to be continued, and I have the ideas for the next few sections in my head, I'm just sorting some stuff out in the real world before I can get to writing again :)

EDIT2: Pic updated.

Post by: pyro-manic on February 24, 2005, 02:17:15 am: Pretty good, but I agree with BW - the wheels look odd. At most give it landing legs or skids.

The shape of this one is quite odd - I think there are too many "steps" in the fuselage - perhaps if the central part joined the engine section higher up? Or, get rid of that top intake (or reduce the height) and have the line of the hull flow into the top fin thingy. It looks a bit "lumpy" at the moment. The concept is great as usual, though. :):yes:

EDIT: Something like this:

Post by: pyro-manic on February 24, 2005, 04:49:48 pm: Much better. :yes: But those hardpoints on the wings kind of spoil it IMO. Stick with internal weapons bays - perhaps put some bulges in at the wing roots. :)

Post by: Unknown Target on February 24, 2005, 06:47:26 pm: Thanks, but I really really like the hardpoints.

Here's the pretty much completed model:

And a little treat, some mock missles (there should also be two more on each wingtip, but I forgot them):

Post by: Unknown Target on February 26, 2005, 04:26:24 pm: All that's left is the cockpit...although I did get lazy around the end, I think it turned out ok, especially for a first-time texture job :)

Post by: aldo_14 on March 01, 2005, 11:50:06 am: You could have used my pilot, y'know. Anyways, you need to remove the fingers on that pilot model; they're totally unnecessary.

Post by: Unknown Target on March 01, 2005, 12:54:04 pm: Fingers? :wtf: There's a finger. It's a box. The entire hand is 36 polies.

Final inserted pictures (some minor changes have occurred):

Post by: Grug on March 02, 2005, 12:13:48 am: You could probably get away with the hand being 10 polys though, ie a box. :p

But yeah, I like how its done, the texture could still use some touch ups though. Maybe more detail around the engine exhaust etc.

Keep up the good works. :D
