Not wanting to lessen your work, but what happened to Karma's gorgeous Corellian corvette ?

It looked great back when it was first created, but doesn't currently achieve the level of detail we're hoping to get by the time this mod is released, both in the mesh and the texturing. We also don't seem to have a copy around that was ever in a finished state, and rather than try to fix what we do have, we're just starting over.

Whoa, I think he's saving most of that for later because they're all going to be submodels. Just a guess though.

I Like...

Actually I like the corvette as well. Great work. I'd help, but unfortunately my modelling skils are somewhat limited (especially in terms of greebling).

There's an auto-greebling plugin for max 8 somewhere...

mind blowing greebles.

mostly blowing my mind trying to make them accurate and keep them clean simultaneously, but its moving along.

i havent done much in the past week because ive been sick and busy with work.

not much to show, im currently cleaning the model, detatching the details so i can make them detail boxes, and really dreading doing the engines

Stupid question, but how many polies? That looks like it's really gonna eat up frames.

Post by: Turambar on April 02, 2007, 07:36:01 pm: (http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8283/vetteve8.jpg)

as of right now, attaching everything, its 13282 tris

however, 5000 of that is in little details, which are already separated from the main model to be used as detail boxes.

Post by: Turambar on April 03, 2007, 08:29:17 pm: we're very quality-oriented, so rushing to have models ready fast isnt likely.

also, i just stepped into hell.

Post by: BlackDove on April 05, 2007, 07:55:57 pm: Yeah it's looking good.

It looks pretty much like the model they have in SWG.

On a side note, it was hard taking that ***** and her three escort gunships down with five people.

Post by: Black Wolf on April 08, 2007, 06:48:02 am: Can I scab your dual turbolaser turret models for the gunship? The single barrel lasers I can't use, but it'd make sense that the CEC would use the same weapons on two ships so closely related.

also, why dont i have one of those nifty SWC logos
Title: Re: Corvette WIP (Split from WIP thread)
Post by: chief1983 on April 08, 2007, 01:05:54 pm: It's for people who have internal access on the SWC forums, which currently doesn't mean anything since no one has been using it, and we use IRC for our internal stuff mostly, but now that we're actually getting a sizeable staff going, I'm working on getting those for you guys. You'll have one soon I hope.

in-game of the LOD-0 mesh with none of the details, guns, or other important things, and the absolute worst textures ever.

mostly, i just wanted to see if it would work at all.

Title: Re: Corvette WIP (Split from WIP thread)
Post by: Titan on March 06, 2008, 07:05:33 am: What IS Uv mapping? is it the way you make it so that one texture works for the whole ship, but still with lots of greebles? like in the texturing tutorial?
Title: Re: Corvette WIP (Split from WIP thread)
Post by: Herra Tohtori on March 06, 2008, 07:36:22 am: It means binding the model's surface's certain UV co-ordinate to texture's XY-coordinate, so that the rendering engine knows to show correct part of the texture on the corresponding part of the model.

UV co-ordinates of a model are simply a system of identifying each location of the model's surface individually, like XY-co-ordinates mark the locations on a plane, XYZ-co-ordinates locations on space, and XYZT in time and space (or four space dimensions, whichever you prefer...).

AFAIK it is perhaps the slowest process on making a model presentable, because you practically need to move each face individually to a suitable place on the UV map... and the more complex mesh, the more faces there are.

Would you like to know more? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping)
