Then again, I don't see any difference myself XD

Its all in the bridge area. The ISD-I's is taller, while the ISD-II's is lower and wider.

The engine rings are different too, IIRC.

I guess we also have to take into account the slightly different levels of completion on the two models.
Lookin' good.

They're both complete...

Heh, I can hardly tell the difference between Haloboy's real ISDII image and Fractal Sponge's model.  Almost looks like that's what he grabbed a picture of.  I had to doublecheck to notice the color was a bit different.

In EAW the aggressor had a photon beam and that was an Imperial-II Class, I think it's the same tech as the freespace beams.

Not sure why I mention it. It still looks great, what are you going to start on once these two are finished?
Title: Re: Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer
Post by: brandx0 on June 26, 2008, 04:50:26 pm
After this I haven't decided.

And our ISD will not have a photon beam.  Pretty much anything that's been added in EAW will not be in our game

Will we have destroyed subsystem submodels?
Title: Re: Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer
Post by: brandx0 on June 26, 2008, 06:23:13 pm
Of course we will.

Post by: Flaser on June 26, 2008, 10:10:20 pm
How do you go about the detail boxing? Will you model the details into the model and separate them later on, or you're already building separate models that you superimpose over the base model for screenshooting purposes?
Title: Re: Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer
Post by: brandx0 on June 27, 2008, 01:53:17 am
They're already separate models.  What you see there in these renders is a number of different objects layered over eachother.
Title: Re: Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer
Post by: Snail on June 27, 2008, 07:47:37 am
Of course we will.
For turrets only (as usual) or for subsystems too (like Raven2k+1's HTL Hecate)?

Hey, I did that. When I got it from Raven it was all one model.

Heh, I'm planning to hopefully have destroyed subobject models for anything that can be destroyed.

Are the Imperial I and Imperial II models based on the same mesh or were they developed separately but at the same time?
Title: Re: Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer
Post by: Galemp on June 29, 2008, 03:48:28 pm
From the looks of things I'd say he's developing them both from the same mesh, and simply turning off parts unique to one model or the other.
Title: Re: Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer
Post by: brandx0 on June 29, 2008, 03:57:35 pm
At this point they're two separate meshes, they started as one, but there were certain things with proportions and overall structure that required me to split them into two meshes.

It's easier to see in the comparison image.

One of the differences between your ISD I and ISD II models is a thin plate on the forward dorsal surface of the ISD II, between the thicker plates that appear on both models. Is that artistic license? Because I don't see any such raised plate in this reference (http://www.amazingstarships.com/models/starwars/stardestroyer_018.JPG).
Title: Re: Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer
Post by: brandx0 on July 01, 2008, 12:30:30 pm
The ISDII had 2 shooting models, a large scale one and a small scale one.  the large scale one didn't have the plate, but the small scale did

I chose to include it further differenciate the two subclasses
