Title: SF Chimera
Post by: Nico on March 16, 2001, 12:38:00 pm

Hop, I've made a page with my Shivan chimera,3 pics: a sketch, a wip pic, and a nice rendered pic (the model is less than 200 polys BTW). there's also a sketch pic of a corvette, the SCv Scylla.

Any comment?

I like the design...you may want to enlarge the engines though IMHO.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Again, excellent job. But you should contact Styxx ( [email protected] ) so that you two can sort out the name.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well, now, my chimera (for now...) is working in fs2  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) I still need to add the glows and the weapons, but unfortunatelly, I'm quite bad at these ( I'm learning fsmm2 for only 2 days...). go there to see ingame shots  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

ok, I've put the engine glows to the right place, but there's a pb  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif). Seen from behind, it looks great, but from the front, it does shows at all  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) (like when you're looking at a sun, when a ship goes in front of them, the glow vanishes ). How can I avoid that?

If someone could answer for my engine glow pb, it should be nice.
Otherwise, the name problem is ok, I keep it. But the ship will have news specs, the old ones are moved to another fighter I'm working on (the old stats fit more its shape).

It's looking great!

As for the engine glows, open up two versions of FSMM2, and in one of them open a Shivan fighter like the Basilisk or something. Copy the values over to the Chimera (except the coordinates, which you can specify yourself) and see if it works then.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
