Well, someone had a topic up about it, so here's my one model that actually got GOOD ratings...
(http://www.wpierce.com/wlp/FS2/gryfalcons.jpg)
(http://www.wpierce.com/wlp/FS2/gryfalconf.jpg)
Time to make: indeterminate, completed in several 15-minute to half-hour installments over a week
Polys: unknown, originally designed for movies, so I'll have to compress it- I do have a good compression engine now, so just figure maximum possible for a fighter.
Notes: The Gryfalcon Courier class is essentially a light transport housed in a fighter's body: Aside from a small 2-ton detachable cargo bay, the Gryfalcon features two primary weapon hardpoints of two and four guns apiece and advanced engine systems for atmospheric and deep space flight. Unfortunately, the Gryfalcon's small dedicated power plant and relatively delicate maneuvering engines prevent it from being useful in a heavy combat capacity.
Total length: 163 meters
Max speed (no burners): 50 kps
Max speed (full engines): 80 kps
Armor density: High
Shields: Medium
Maneuverability: Very high
The in-game version of the Gryfalcon will not feature rotating side engines, unless I can figure out some special trick to turret them or something.

That IS a sweet ship!
Do the models for the contest have to be FS2-level poly counts? Or can it be whatever you want?
My only real suggestion for the model is that you add some variety to the textures- not even change them much, but add a few markings that you would expect to find on a military transport. And maybe add some symmetry to the texturing on those pylons...
Sorry, I don't want to be hypercritical, I really really like this. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Not sure about the poly thing, but the ingame version would look pretty much the same, since I can just cut it down in places where it doesn't show much- this can't have more than 1500 anyway. I'm making some decals, etc. to go with it, should be up any minute now...

Last Contest was any poly count...
And since they said it was same rules, doesn't matter how many..

No polycount limit (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Nice ship, dude. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) 3-view? Or 4-view? Or however many it's meant to be? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

First there was the Borg Cube. Now, the untextured Orb of hatred.

No he didn't, those of us paying attention will note the damn fine ship at the top of the page.
Kudos dude, the textures could do with a little sprucing up but the model is very cool, I get a sorta anime feel from it. Nicely done (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

The textures are ******* hideous. I can freely hate them because I had to see them from every other angle, where they were even uglier. RDS has some great features, but a good texture wrapping method is not among them. This is just a preview, the sorta tiling design I plan to put on the final version, which I am putting off doing because it involves using the dreaded TrueSpace.
-
Stryke, your not supposed to like the orb of hatred.....
-
Nah, the Orb is great- just needs its own topic. Yours doesn't even HAVE textures.
-
I sense hostility. And alcohol.
-
Alcohol? Not from here. Not gonna say what might be, but I stopped drinking a long while ago. Okay, Sunday, but it still counts!
-
not when i posted that... but its the orb of hatred... it causes hate! cant you see its already done its job? mm... piss water
but sorry stryke... its not really worthy of its own topic

Second only to Setekh's Cube Mark II, I figure. Or my ICD Crusher. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Very cool ship, Stryke! I think the maximum polys for a fighter (in a playable game (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)) is about 300-600. I know in Homeworld, the max is 300.
Anyways, it's really good!

13 my *** . Old enough to crash a car and young enough to get in **** with my parents/legal guardians/pimp for it. Sorry to wreck your pedophilic fantasy, pervboy. You'll just have to lust for me the normal way. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
And UT, think it's higher in FS. Don't remember the exact numbers, I'll have to look 'em up, but I'm fairly sure it's closer to 500.
