Title: WC Medium-heavy Skell
Post by: Scooby_Doo on September 24, 2007, 11:52:58 pm: After spending some time derounding it, stupid me had used mesh smoothg, then collapsed it years ago. Don't know where I got the name or what I modelled it after. It's Privateer 2, and just maybe the Skecis. I deleted all the original files so i have no idea when i originally built it... could be '04.

It's a two seater.

Post by: Dark Hunter on October 05, 2007, 08:39:25 pm: The cockpit looks disproportionately large... oh wait, you said it was a two-seater?

Well... I still think the cockpit looks a bit big, but other than that it looks fantastic. :yes:

Post by: spartan_0214 on October 05, 2007, 09:52:33 pm: The cockpit sitting lower than the ship looks good at an angle from the front, but proportionately to the rest of the ship, the cockpit is too big. I would recommend actually bringing it closer to the body of the ship and raising it. The lower than the rest of the ship thing looks cool, but the double-cockpit is, IMHO, too big for that...

Post by: Scooby_Doo on October 05, 2007, 10:53:28 pm: Well the cockpit kinda stays as is,

Post by: Titan on October 06, 2007, 05:32:08 pm: take out that bottleneck, make it fatter right there, and it would be perfect.
Title: Re: WC Medium-heavy Skell
Post by: spartan_0214 on October 06, 2007, 08:32:40 pm: The front looks smaller comparatively to the back, so maybe just make the entire back bigger...
Title: Re: WC Medium-heavy Skell
Post by: Scooby_Doo on October 06, 2007, 09:44:30 pm: Well i tried enlarging the back but that made things look worse, almost like a gunship.

how about a single seater? (sorta like a Sabre descendant) Or.... and have the option to have a heavier two seat variant.

edit: I wish advanced light rendering would show the convex angles

Post by: Eviscerator on October 07, 2007, 04:24:24 am: You could try making the single seater a space superiority fighter, and a two seater strike variant that is able to carry a couple torpedoes/bombs, ya?
Title: Re: WC Medium-heavy Skell
Post by: Scooby_Doo on October 07, 2007, 04:34:45 am: The two seat strike bomber was originally (ok my new original) idea for it, even with the name. For a single seat variant, a heavy fighter I'm guessing. I think I originally intended it to be a medium fighter, course it looked no wheres as good as it does now.

Maybe have the co-pilot sitting next to the pilot and have the cockpit look more like a Y-Wing's...

Post by: spartan_0214 on November 05, 2007, 05:28:38 pm: Lookin' good, Scooby, though the cockpit's canopy looks a little too high...
Title: Re: WC Medium-heavy Skell
Post by: Scooby_Doo on November 05, 2007, 06:23:32 pm: Any lower and he'll be bumping his head into it.....

However I'm not sure if I'll actually put the cockpit in or just use black glass windows and wait for the model cockpit feature to be added.

He did. It's even stickied.
Title: Re: WC Medium-heavy Skell
Post by: Scooby_Doo on November 09, 2007, 11:55:23 pm: I've to add a few things to make it look even better than before. I'll have to add those. The sad/scary part is since this is the first fighter I'm actually painting up in a long time, I've forgotton how to do the metal textures and had to look at my tutorials. :nervous:
