Title: Just asking only...
Post by: NeoHunter on February 25, 2002, 07:14:48 am

Is there anybody who can render a fighter or ship we have never seen on this forum before but is in those starfighter games like Star Wars or something?

Examples are like the TIE Defender and the Interdictor Cruiser. The TIE Defender in my opinion is a very beautiful design. It should be rendered, you know?:D

If I had time to render much more than this, you'd have it in your hands already. ;)

Well, I was thinking like the TIE Defender.......you know???:D

I've never seen anybody here render it. Maybe its because the model is hard to find?

If I was on my home computer, I'd know where to get a Blender model of the TIE Defender.

But alas, I'm not. It'd be 'till Saturday, at least.

Bleh, I don't like the Tie/D. I much prefer the TIE Interceptor. It looks so intimidating... yet evil in its simplicity. :drevil:

Actually, I did find a TIE/D model the other day. I think it was for 3DS Max. the problem was that it was about pretty large (at least by dialup standards) and so I didn't download it. I might make some SW renders though. I'm thinking about.

I did a hopefully decent job of a render of an X-Wing from the XWA game from using PhotoShop.

But it only took like two minutes to make.

I'd post it but Im sure I'll get laughed at. :D

The TIE Clutch looks better though...i still think the TIE Defender is without doubt the most intimidating (sp).

TIE Clutch?:confused:

Anyway, the TIE Defender IS intimidating. None of the Alliance fighters can beat it unless in a group. I could oly take on a TIE Advanced in a X-Wing fighter one on one but with a TIE Defender, its a no-no.

The Tie Clutch? ;)

I like the Interceptor best. The X1, while cool, is just too chunky for me. Like an Ursa, except... not as bad. :D

Im not really a fan of starwars designs...the tech just seems to be all over the place and it makes little sense to me.
Sorry :P

The TIE Interceptor is shieldless!!! The survival rate of them in an intense dogfight is that of banthas on Hoth!!!:D

The X1? You mean the Missile Boat?

I know it's shieldless, but it's fast, it's agile... ;)

I still prefer the X-Wing. Average speed and agility with enough firepower to take out an Imperial Star Destroyer II.

A true Rogue here.:p

YUB YUB!!!

I think that the Clutch and the Tie Defender are actually the same thing..."clutch" is just the nickname that the New Republic used for it. And they definitely have the best survival rate out of any Empire fighter.

For anyone who wants to find out about the clutch, it is the main Empire fighter in I, Jedi by Michael A. Stackpole...an offspring of the Rogue Squadron series...where "Yub yub Commander!" came from :D

Janson! Go fly against a clutch or two
