Title: Render: Wayland in orbit
Post by: Ryx on February 14, 2002, 01:17:47 pm
So this is basically the finished product. The textures are a bit funny, but nothing to get seriously upset about.
When i made the image i didn't feel like bothering with engine glows, so i say, the engines are shut off :p.

The ship is called Wayland. Or Wayland class...

Mesh and image made in 3Ds MAX 4.2.

That should be spelled "Weyland" (if we are still supposed to think Aliens universe, but without the Yutani).

The Weyland is gorgeous, especially now that you've given it weapons. It brings to mind the grand steel glory of ocean going fleets (like, oh, the US Navy. ;)) without shamelessly trading on the aquatic navy look. It looks rather like it could be a carrier in the tradition of Wing Commander.

Might I recommend a texture with some small, bright white squares to simulate small windows just underneath the upper deck?

Ok, Weyland it is.:)
Right now she is somewhat larger than a Deimos and weighs in at ~900 polys, with turrets.
