I'm looking for a nice multi part turret (I.e. a base and barrel(s)). Anyone have one they can spare? it needn't be mapped. I need one for my cruiser, but I'm not all that good at making turrets. They never look good.
Any help is appreciated. :)
-
I'm trying to make some myself - Terran or Vasudan? Or something less specific?
-
Err. Terran. Although if you come up with a convincingly Vasudan design, I wouldn't hesitate to ask for that, too. ;)
-
Hmmm. OK - I'll post what I've got when I've done some tweaking. :)
-
I'd offer you one but I'm still not convinced myself that the thing's not too high-poly.
-
How many polies is high poly? :p My cruiser is only ~2000 polies.
-
IIRC, ~500+ triangulated. So too high. It's routinely pushing ships over the 10k mark when I use more than one at a time.
-
You should try to contact Raptor. He had some popular turrets out a while back.
-
I have in the past, but it takes so long to get responses from him. He made four turrets for me for TVWP. They're great, but he's only online once a week.
-
If you aren't worried about textures and you have a poly budget for me to work with (and a couple of weeks to get it done - I can't work on it over spring break), I can give you a go at a custom turret. There's a good chance I'll need a new one soon anyway.
-
Nah. You don't need to devote time to it. I was just looking for anything that anyone may have laying about their hard drives. Although I do appreciate the offer. :)
-
I have one of those tiny yellow turrets if you need one (well that's what it was intended for)
It doesnt have a texture yet but it is UV mapped, and even has a normal map to boot.
It's a realy low poly turret, somthing in the range of 25 polies so i'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

A but too low poly for my tastes... yeah. :blah: Thanks, though.
-
Yeah figured so. So you want a big turret, not a little one you can spam around?
and what kind of turret? flak? guns? beam? missile? other?
-
I only intend to use about 3 or 4 of them, but yeah, I want them to be a feature, and not so much just 'there'... if you kow what I mean.
-
oh, and about how many barrels?
-
One or two is just fine for me. I could use them on the corvette sister ship I made for it too.

This was gonna be on my Tiidan Destroyer but I doubt if it'll be ready any time soon.
Pretty untidy, but should be good if tweaked somewhat.
-
I'd offer mine from the Styx but they're too high poly again (like Strat's they're around the 500 poly mark).
-
well, I have one. I was making it for the re-work of the triest class yesterday. It's definately in the very-high range (3k polies, concentrated mostly around the barrels) but I think it can be refined and reduced greatly in Truespace or any modelling program.

Give me a PM if you're interested.

I still have those from my sentryguns. But If you can bring them to some use, I don't mind giving you the models. :)

Mmm.... Thanks for the replies, but I don't know if any of these are what I'm looking for for my cruiser and corvette.
But lately, I've been considerring UV Mapping my Cruiser and Corvette models... so I still have time.

Are you planning to release those sentryguns generally, or have they been secured by a mod? I'm sure there are some campaigners out there that would like to get their hands on them.
-
Try this (http://www.duke.edu/~cek6/raaturret.zip). It's poly reduced as far as I can take it, without starting to lose shape and is down to about 300 tri's. It's got primitive UV's which you'll want to tweak, but I'm not providing the map since there's about a 2% chance that you'd actually use that.

Thanks, I'll take a look at them later. :)

I hope I will release them sooner or later (though I'm not really building them for a mod, they are meant for public use :) ). But since WCS consumes away all my modding-time, I have currently only a ingame-working LOD0 of the vasudan-one finished but it looks quite cool :)
I think after our prologue is finished, I will find some time finishing them.

Well, truth be told, I could be online every day, but it means driving from home to Fathers surgery every day, at 7pm-ish (need to avoid other staff...)
And tipically, 7pm onwards is when the good TV starts.
So, while I would love to be a more active member, it's a little impratical ATM.
Good Luck Raa.

That's a nice turret, no doubt. It looks realistic.
-
Hey Starman, you could always set the sentry guns up for download and nope someone cool converts them. It's not like we don't have enough people with that ability here.:)

I didn't mean anything by it. More truthfully, I'm] impatient. ;) Although your turrets are always the best I've seen.

It's okay. I'm not happy about it myself.
Thanks for the compliment.;)
