That Arcadia is how it should really look..............


I'm literally pining for it......

Cinema 4D

The only one that uses that around here is IceyJones.

I've found my old C4D reg codes but i can't find the demo disc.

It has some really good features and i actually used it to make some original Saga stuff for the T-Dog (Tolwyn :p) years back before i went to Bosnia..........

I vote for contacting the author and begging for permission to get those into MediaVP's. Especially the Colossus - the Arcadia seems a bit more out-of-box re-modelling with non-hexagonal "hole" and whatnot, but I wouldn't object to that either.

I wonder what the polycounts in those models are. :nervous:

Those are amazing.  They would need turreting before they could be put in-game (we have plenty of people around here that can do that though).  I'd have to agree that the Arcadia would be a bit at-odds with the everything else, but that Colossus is amazing.

Both of them need to be in-game.

WOW. That Collie almost looks like a joint Terran-Vasudan project ;)

The problem with the Arcadia is that it looks like one as well.
But it's nice modelling anyway :yes:

EDIT: The Moon in the last pic looks pretty stretched, and the subspace effect on the Collie looks weird too. Personally, I don't really like it, but what the hell.

Yeah. IMO the Arcadia should follow the same design principles as the Orion. That installation is a great model, but the more I look at it, I don't see it as a viable replacement of GTI Arcadia. Possibly Arcadia Mk.II or an advanced installation with a new name.. like GTI Corinthia or GTI Laconia, following the naming scheme assumedly used on Arcadia...

On the other hand, the Colossus is made of awesome. I can't find anything in it that I don't like.

That Arcadia is gorgous, If he made a curvy(ish) Orion too, Well rounded really, I'd say that the game would benefit from both in a Media VP sense...... as optional extras.

somebody has to go contact him.

The Collie looks nice, that Arcadia looks not-so-nice in my opinion, too smooth and shiny, though that's partly the rendering, but also overall shape.

I love both the GTVA Colossus and the GTI Arcadia from those renders. Dunno why it seems bad to you- to me, the Arcadia looks very terran-ish.
Title: Re: Amazing renders - did anyone see those ?
Post by: Colonol Dekker on April 15, 2008, 11:21:31 am
I agree, It fits with the Deimos, rather than the Orion, which is no bad thing.......
Title: Re: Amazing renders - did anyone see those ?
Post by: Hellstryker on April 15, 2008, 11:28:47 am
No, its too rounded to even fit with the deimos. I contacted him about the colly however. let us pray we get it...

*flips a coin*

Dammit, heads................ You live for now...



I think it's fine, but i could re-table it to be an upgrade, the Olympia perhaps............

Contact him about the Arcadia too, or else ! *takes out a Harbinger*

Well chances are if he gives up the colly he'll give up the arcadia as well  :rolleyes:

The main problem for me with the Arcadia is that it looks like the worlds biggest, blingiest sub-woofer there.

I always thought the Arcadia was suppose to be cube-ish and boxlike, so they could fit more cubes inside it. The Colossus looks fantastic! both look great though

Gives a whole new meaning to the start of FS1 however,

'This is Lt Ash of Terran Patrol wing Gamme three-niner, Mayday!'

'Doof...Doof....Doof'

'Can anyone hear me!? I need immediate fighter cover and extraction!'

'Doof...Doof....Doof'...

I've been studying these models a little more (and drooling), and it looks like they aren't uber-high poly.  It took some searching, but I can sometimes see corners on curved surfaces (smoothing isn't perfect).  So they probably wouldn't be too high poly for the game.
Title: Re: Amazing renders - did anyone see those ?
Post by: ShadowGorrath on April 16, 2008, 10:54:56 am
I just hope that someone who can put them in-game gets those models...

Btw, did you people e-mail him, or just post comments on the renders ?
Title: Re: Amazing renders - did anyone see those ?
Post by: Hellstryker on April 16, 2008, 11:17:17 am
Just posted comments.

I believe that solves the Colossus problem, but keep that Arcadia away from me.
Title: Re: Amazing renders - did anyone see those ?
Post by: ShadowGorrath on April 16, 2008, 12:43:11 pm
Someone send an e-mail. I would do so, but I'm too lazy...

And he doesn't notice comments. I already tried that ( 'GTD-Orion' fella ).

And say what you like about the Arcadia, but it looks very good, and I'd definetly want it in-game. It would be the first time that I'd enjoy being stationed on an Arcadia.

Yeah the Colossus looks cool but I don't honestly care for the Arcadia that much. It's not the hole, it's the main body that bothers me.

I believe the correct term is "Terran design is more block, less cock" with regards to the arcadia
