Post by: Tempest on August 06, 2007, 05:07:48 pm
As you might guess, both are very WIP.

The R-41 is a dogt ugly ship. It's a design problem though, nothing you can do about it.

The dreadnaught though... looks a bit... I dunno. It seems a tough stubby, though I'll grant that that could be the viewing angle, especially in the first shot. You could maybe do with rounding off those corners up the front a bit perhaps?

The R41 makes me think of the product of a Z-95 Headhunter that mated with the main character's ship in Descent.

The R-41 is already perfect as it is.

Considering it's only been in the games, leaving that as our only reference for its appearance, I'd hope so :)

What a ship has appeared in really determines the level of accuracy we have to give it.  If it was only in say, TIE Fighter, its only reference is a very low quality model, so we have a lot of artistic license to make it what we want.  However, the R-41 was actually a pretty neat looking ship, so Tempest didn't mind sticking closely to the TG stuff, and just adding a little more mesh detail here and there.  I'm quite impressed with this one actually.

The reference I gave Tempest was not the TG model. But the TG model does follow closely to it.
