Ship Caligari .scn available here: if it doesn't work, dreadfully sorry. :mad2:
Click ME! (http://www.angelfire.com/games5/katalyan0/shivanfighterbomber.scn)
tips: save to desktop and open from there, you may seem skeptical of it not being recognized, but oh well.
Ship Caligari .cob available here, repeat above comment! :eek2:

I have no good ftp to host pictures from, if anyone can recommend a good free one, i would highly appreciate it.
Any suggestions are welcome, criticisms, whatever. I'm not really new here, i've been lurking around, too critical of my work to post. :mad: But i think this one shows promise. It also doesn't have a name so any decent suggestions have a good chance of becoming the name! :ha:
If anyone is bored and wishes to texture/modify/change etc. this model, it's up for grabs, but please make sure to get a copy to me.
Thanks!

Welcome to HLP. Please take note of the exits to the rear, left and front, but I wouldn't take that one, as that's where Carl is. But don't be put off by the five legs, mean temper and plasma beam - he's really an OK guy...kinda. Under your seat you will find flamethrowers and the now defunct Shotguns. Please note that neither can be used as a floatation device. Don't ever ask why your beams wont fire. Thank you, enjoy your stay.

I have to give praise, that's a beautiful model...
I Dl'ed and got really excited to texture it, but it only allows 1 material and I couldn't find a texture that would do justice to it.
(I just learned to texture, but not how to add different materials to models yet that have one object) I am sure that the more wise elders around here will whip something up shortly ;)
If you have other such work but were afraid to post it (post away!!!!) Just yesterday someone was complaining about a "distinct lack of ships"... As for a name I was thinking Scalpel cause it's Sharp! But actually was gonna wait and see how it looks textured (sometimes a name just screams out at you !!!)
Please keep up the excellent work.
:cool:

Excellent start, though somewhat unstable; could benefit greatly from more work, too pointy although with work at detail it could easily be release quality :yes:
-
very nice! :)
-
Notes:
1. Shivan ships don't normally have obvious cockpits.
2. The hull design in general looks nice to me, but that nose just didn't fit in.
3. I just had to try tweaking this model, results are below. :D

Side by side.
I also triangulated it while getting it into my modeller (then untriangulated some parts) and redid the engine(?) bevelish things on the back because they looked like they didn't quite turn out right when originally made. About 290 polys as is, 300 something triangulated. I called mine Brachyura because crab's what I thought of when I wanted a file name but it just didn't sound imposing enough. :)
-
I like the improvements, but i still like the off-center nose. The cockpit being there is my strange starting to create a pirate ship, hence all the fins etc. But i suppose it does look more shivan. Can you send me the .scn or .cob for that one you made? i'd like a better look at it... :D
thanks
-
Right now that file is a .wings file so you probably wouldn't be able to do anything with it. I will get it converted to a cob though. (I use Wings3D for modelling, but the format it supports importing/exporting the best is .obj so I end up converting files from .wings to .obj to .cob, and sometimes vice versa.)
-
Katalyan, I am officially stealing that model for the Swarm War! :D
-
Killfrenzy, go right ahead, just keep me in the loop of what happens to my gorgeous model :wink: Anyways, please drop me any improvements or changes you make to this model... Thanks! :cool:
-
Well, it will end up as a Swarm fighter or Bomber. I haven't decided yet. Depends on whether or not decent fighter/bomber designs slither out of my brain or other places.
I'll keep you informed!
-
How about you take off one of the wings? That would make it more asymmetrical and Shivan-like.
-
Looks a bit like the Sith fighter from Phantom Menace. With a bit of modification, it might be useful for the Star Wars folks.
-
A BIT of modification? The fuselage would require a lot of reworking, the wings would need curving more.......
It would be easier to make a new model! :D
-
:lol: Okay, you're probably right. :)
-
I TOLD you Kat!!! And you said that it wasn't very good :p
Everyone meet katalyan, my friend in IRL!

Hi Katalyn!
Oh, wait--

Exits are to the right and left, flamethrowers are under your seats, plasma rifles are in the lockers to the front, and be mindful of hungry Shivans wandering the place. :)

geez guys...stop with the welcome beams...the next one might hit him....
-
Here now! Only one welcome beam per new member! The heat sinks were not meant to take this kind of abuse!
-
Whoops, whoops, sorry - didn't see the previous one. :o :o :o
*Steps away from the beam controls, looking rather embarrassed* :nervous:
-
Slam. Disintigrates As Welcome Beam's fly all around him and one fateful beam slams right into his chest.
Way to go, i'm dead. :no:
-
Arg. How are we going to reach 1000 members if we keep killing the newbies? :lol:
-
don't worry, every n00b you kill, 5 rise to take his place.
This is evident as we still get about 2 - 3 new members each week.
