Wevil asked me to help him with high poly models. I don't really have time to help people usually, but hell, I didn't work on any high poly model for a long time now, so I was happy to help, for once. So I'm working on a manticore. Please keep in mind it's a work in progress pic, the mapping is not the final one, and even the modelling part isn't finished. Anyway, I also want to point out that I decided to base my model on the concept pic ( http://www.geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/concept.html (//"http://www.geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/concept.html") shivan section, 3rd pic ) , but I'll add things like the 2 fins that are only on the ingame model.
ok, now, the pics:

Now that looks nice. The glowing bits on it are a bit unclear.
-
glowy parts are cool. din't the manticore in the fs1 intro movie glow like that?
-
Unbelievable. How do you do it Venom (ritorical question - praise)? Great stuff.

Whoa... that's... really cool. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Very nice! Might want to play with the glows a little (more of a deep red and less of a white) but it looks Hella Cool™ (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

? Can you be more clear? lol I dunno what to modify if I don't understand what you mean (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

very smooth
I beleive he's talking about the glow intensity- the FS cutscene versions have a very deep strong red glow about them
Id also recommend replacing the bump maps with geometry - it gives a far cleaner look (specially if you want it on a hangar bay deck (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) )

It looks sweet venom. I wish I could do something that detailed (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

With my great thread necromancing abilities I ressurect this thread....Could I get this moved to the Freespace Upgrade Project Forum please?
-
man, this is so old that I was still at the VBB at the time. :p
-
:jaw:
Necroposting doesn't even come close. This entire thread predates both you and I as members by almost a year.
-
i think i remember this from back in the day
-
It's like the stuff in the suitcase in pulp fiction...nobody knows what it looks like, but everybody wants it badly.
-
red X's for me
-
It's nearly a 5 year old post. The building which held the server that hosted the images probably isn't even still there.
-
Very true. But I don't think there's any point in keeping this open anymore.
