Title: new fighter
Post by: Singh on August 29, 2006, 08:19:29 pm
Pretty simple fighter. Most likely for light assault/interception roles only. The missiles go into the empty boxes (I need to model em seperately later).

nice, looks like a great design, keep it up, if its a fighter though, why are there turrets, unless the mod is fliied with tueted fighters it'll just put things off balance, looks like a terran/vasudan joint build

I'd be inclined to remove the wings, scale down the cockpit, enlarge the side pods so it's like an Erinyes.

No don't!!! Erninyes looks like ****. And even if Erinyes didn't look like ****, this model looks better this way.

The Erinyes looks like those things you pick hairs off your legs with.

Note, the Erinyes looks like a clothespin, an ugly one.

Maybe he just has those type of guns as a placeholder?

OHHHHH I'm getting vibes on this one  :drevil:

Are you going to be releasing it in non-pof format? (cob/max...etc)

Yes, I will be (most likely .obj format). It wont be UV-mapped properly, though, so that'll be left to whomever wants it.

Ive got a textured version, but very little time to put up the pics right now. Suffice to say, you'll be seeing this little bird in an animation soon enough. :)

And as for the guns: those aren't turrets, but rather external gun mounts. They can be swapped for larger guns, or different varities, and are meant to be modular 'add-ons' to compliment the existing configuration. It'll primarily be a light interceptor, meant for chasing down bombers and stuff, more than anything else. :)

There. Managed to squeeze out a frame during the batch render process.

You know it just occurred to me. It remninds me of an A-wing or a Imperial Missiile/Gunboat...  :D

A little dark though...

Have you ever played "The Hive"? The backview reminded me of a ship in it. ;)


Intresting design.  :yes:

Has a slight feel of a sawed off Duress.

We over at Infinity want it...:P

Looks good.

Too blocky and clumsy for my liking... looks more like a toy fighter than a real one. But thats my opinion. I can only criticize the design, and not the technique. Its made well enough, and does look like its intended end, so :yes:

To me it looks it has intentionally low amount of detail. Quite much like Loki in that regard...

I also find it looking like some kind of catamaran powerboat than a space fighter. Though it seems to have atmospheric capacity. Perhaps it's a true amphibian, being able to move in water, on water, in air and in space...? :drevil:

I'd sooner have a more blocky, lower poly version.  It's easier to take apart and resemble into something different  ;7

Btw, at least for my request, I don't need lods, shields or turrets (or even uv mapping).

Don't listen to these *bleep*. The design is fine. I'd rather have a pretty model than a highpoly monster that has polies added just for the sake of high polypness.

It was primarily intended to be lo-poly, actually. I havent reached the advanced enough stuff yet to properly put details in without ruining the goemetry - that comes with practise, actually.

In any case, I'll be putting the model up later for upload, once I manage to get my FTP manager working again for me old GW account (if that one's still alive and kicking, that is).

Edit: oh and almost forgot. It wont have textures, since it uses quite a few, so I'll be just putting up the plain model in .obj format. The textures I put on suck big time, so maybe you folks can probably do a better job at it. :)

Edit2: Of course, this is all assuming that I can find a way to convert maya files to .obj in the first place. Anyone know how I can export maya models to something other than .mb and .ma? I've searched around quite a bit, but to little avail :(

What formats does Maya export with?

Edit: Looks like it doesn't export to 3ds  :sigh:

No don't!!! Erninyes looks like ****. And even if Erinyes didn't look like ****, this model looks better this way.

Ah,I thought I were the only member that...well,look.

I want this fighter,where's the POF? :7

I know, I'm just stating what Freespace ship designs it vaguely reminds me of. :)

I consider new design even stuff like the Nemesis supposed to be a "Fenris/Orion" :D
