Has anyone seen those ? Awesome, eh ?
Not made by me
-
Must have those models!
-
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.
-
WOW!
-
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.
-
I agree, It fits with the Deimos, rather than the Orion, which is no bad thing.......
-
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.
-
:lol:
-
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'...
-
:lol:
-
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.
-
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 ?
-
Just posted comments.
-
I believe that solves the Colossus problem, but keep that Arcadia away from me.
-
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
