Title: Arisotle WIP
Post by: Descenter on August 31, 2006, 03:57:31 pm: Just started another model of sorts. Funny thing is with this one, I drew some weird shape with freehand, then went from there, and it turned out looking Shivan somehow, after playing with it a little..... For about 5 hours worth of work, I think I'm getting better with moddeling. And this time I gave it a name: Arisotle :D

Total of 10 turrets, 2 missle bay (probably will add more later), and 3 engines, oh and one turret at the end of the "stinger," I haven't decided what it will be yet.

Again I wish I could convert these just to play around with them..

And that's not a bad thing at all.

Anybody have pics, so that I may compare and see for myself? I would like to see how similar it would be when i made this from scratch. :D

Oooo... and I could put wings onto it to to make it not look so "tanky," but to be honest you don't need "wings" in space, no aerodynamics at all.

And maybe, it's just me, but I'm thinking I may have over did the extension just a little..
Comments?

No worries again, It looks a bit more streamlined, If its shivan its just a TAD too smooth.......extension is as over or under-done as the maker thinks though IMHO.

Post by: Descenter on September 06, 2006, 12:24:45 am: Acutally, I've semi-heard of Tron, just battlezone loses me. If they came out in or before the 90's, I probably never remember them, because I was lost in playing Freespace and the Descent series, plus a few games here and there,

Came out 1999 or 2000...

Tron 2.0: http://buenavistagames.go.com/product/tronPC.html
Released 2003

Both are damn fun. Battlezone has floating tanks (sometimes with wings), so your work resembles them. Personally I like Battlezone 1 more. It's just that those Russians are so kickass. :D

Tron has that peculiar style that resembles those textures you have. Though tanks didn't really have a large part in the game, they did however had nearly identical texturing with your tank.
