It's just shy of 500.
499 to be exact as of now.
-
wtf is it?
Reminds me of that ship in Crusade where the parasite people are found.
-
Isn't that a Dilgar design?
-
yup
-
It looks weird but good.
-
Damn Dirty Dilgar!
Good job! It looks like the ships I saw in that Homeworld mod (Now I knowwhat race they are, DILGAR!!!) Wierd stuff I mistook them for a Drahk fleet.
-
That's a great job and it's you've done it in under 500 polys even more so :yes:
-
nice paintjob ! I dont know much about dilgar, but it looks very....exotic.
-
Mmm.. dilgar war campaign maybe in far future?
-
Looks great.
To be honest even better than the screenshots I saw so far of any finished ship of that type.
I guess it's the big bright violet lights that arn't on it yet.
-
Yeah, the textures aren't mine. I have a 30,000 poly version of I got and those are it's textures I've put on it. It's right now 620 untriangluated of course. I'll post another update on it in a few minutes.
*edit* 674 to be exact.

I think this ship could do with a few more polygons to make for some smoother curves. I can't really comment on the texturing without seeing it in-game. Certainly I don't think it would take a vast amount of work to make this ship TBP quality. It just needs a little bit more love and attention.
-
I love the tattoo pattern on the top, but the design isn't really to my taste. I think it's those bits on the bottom that make it looks odd. The top's all smooth and curved, and then there are a couple of boxes underneath....
-
I like it. Are you gonna the purple thingys to it?

-
yeah, it will have them eventually. Once I get it worked out I will smooth is out a little more. Unfortunately I won't be able to work on it until next weekend. :(
-
If a Dilgar fleet is made, I'll do a Dilgar Invasion campaign for TBP once BWO is more or less handled.
-
what are the other ships? That is the only one I can find. I never watched the show that much.
The love and attention on those textures can be done. All I did was slap some mapping on it hastily so I can see what is was. That and I think I can fix the mapping for the textures too. But right now I'll try to finish it roughly this weekend. When I mean by finish I mean have it put together based off the reference ship. Fixing the geometery, and mapping and stuff is going to take some time. Unfortunatly time I don't have alot of right now, but I will do the best I can. My only beef on the top part being smoother is in the back part. It drives me nuts right now, but the textures seem to cover it up pretty well. If people like it when it is done you guys can have it. I don't know where all those weapons go or anything, or even how big it is suppose to be. I just thought it was a cool ship, and thought I would give a shot at trying to model it. I had came down to that or one of the Vree ships, but this was more of a challenge.
-
Well it was never seen on TV.
As far as I know it was designed for "Into the Fire".
There should be some pictures of one fighter-type out there in the net too, but thats all I know of.
Maybe someone else is better informed on the matter.
-
DamoclesX did a decent number of (obviously high quality) Dilgar ships, although I'm not clear on their canon-ness.
-
I think the cruiser is the only canon Dilgar ship. Not sure though...

Its semi-canon. It appeared at the B5: ITF website as one of their ship models due to be a part of the game.
Its like AoG...its considered canon but its not a specific part of the show.
-
more polygons
-
In the Main hull, rings, or both?

Why? To be honest I can't see a place where more polies could be put to good use on this model.
-
It's over a 1km long ship. Really you should be looking at between 800p and 1200p for LOD0. Bobboau will probably suggest even more. You can spend the extra polys on smoother curves and the few little details you have omitted. Check the link to B5Tech posted by Primus above and do a quick spot the difference on your model and that model. Look closely. The details may only be small but there are not many of them. When that happens those small details become very important. Certainly on a 1km+ ship you should be including them.
-
I wonder just how many weapons it has and where they are located.
-
Here's an example a pair of x-ray lasers...

Guess it's better than nothing... ':sigh:':sigh:
-
ok, I will see what I can do when I get back to my computer this weekend.
-
What happened to "into the fire"?
-
I don't think Novas had x ray lasers in the Dilgar War!
-
The Dilgar is firing.
-
In this picture only the Dilgar ship fires a volley at the Nova...
In times of the Dilgar war EA ships didn't have any beam weapons...
The Nova repells Dilgar fire:

It got cancelled....long ago: http://www.firstones.com/firstoneshistory.php

Mmm, im not sure who fires who.. in one website i saw that pic and a comment bellow someyhing like "EA Nova learns that early x-ray beams sucks" but again we all know that novas or EA ship didnt have beam weapons pre mimbari war..
again i have a pic of two Novas firing all those big ass guns , firing beam weapons for all those!!??. anyway is curious that those really big big guns in the novas never are seen firing in the show i guess
-
O damn it, i had a fan movie in 3D wich showed a battle between a Dilgar and a Drakh fleet and the Dilgar wiped out the Drakhs.. it showd a Dilgar cruiser firing it beam weapons.. but i deleted it the other day i guess.. will search for it again
