If anyone can help me - and I really hope they can - please tell me here. Many thanks :)
Edit: Here she is BTW, this is what I'd like to see created:

Anyway, good luck with the Setekh Mk. 2... though I seriously think that Woomeister already did a Mk. 2 and a Mk. 3... (one of them is really fat, I remember...)

Here, use this instead, nice, tidy, 12k...
And looks mostly correct.

As for the ship itself, If all you wanted was a ship for modeling and rends I coulda helped, but hierarchies are like foreign languages to me. Study as much as I like, but it still doesn't come out right!
Not to mention, where do you want the turrets? On those rivet-looking areas?
Post by: Fineus on February 27, 2002, 06:13:44 am
I haven't thought as far as subobject location or weapons since the main bulk of the ship hasn't been created. If someone makes up the basic frame of the ship then I can specify locations of turrets more easily (especially since it'll be to scale and I can render the 6 view instead of trying to put my terrible schematic drawing skills to the test ;))

Yeah, I think it was the Mk. 3 - it has an SVas, so you can bully cruisers around :D And maybe some anti-fighter defenses too (gasp)

I've had a go, it's not totally complete yet. It's just under 400 polys at the moment.

Dude! Thankyou, I was worried nobody would have the time or will to do it - and without a modeller this should would never see the light of day (which I want it to as it'll play a part in several things I've got going).
Once again, thanks :nod:

Make a high-poly version. You know, for renders and crap.

And yes, I know it resembles a phallic object - that wasn't the idea but I like the design :p

Good work Woo :nod:

That looks great so far dude, nice job :nod:

I'll post a pic if it works (it's mapped badly at the moment so looks ugly :D ) I just need it mapped to test it.

I'll send it to you now untouchable. You can do the lods as well if you want ;)
There was only 1 bit of clipping on the underneath that I could see, so its turned out not that bad. This version is 5.4km at 644 polys (because of the two 'array' things)
I suggest some smoothing when you map it :)

I wish I'd run across this thread when it started. It would have been interesting to throw it together. Maybe I will anyway. *heh*

The look of that is really nice, Grey Wolf, but it looks like two models laid on top of each other. Perhaps if you were to work on the conjunctions so that the parts looked like they flowed together, it would look better. Regardless, I'd fly one. :)

Woomeister - Excellent job on the ship, how closed to finish is it at this stage? There's a couple of things on the 3DS model I'd like to see altered in the final stage (mainly the hanger section but your the one modelling it :nod: )
LtNarol - I may well scale down the turret number - but first I'd like to see how many polys the completed model contains... I could probably reclaim a lot by removing one of the Arrays and moving the other into the centre.
And finally here's some info on the TD Aquila for you all...

About:
The TD Aquila (or Terran Destroyer Aquila) was designed by Thunder with the aid of many of the Freespace community. It was created with a mind to making a personal flagship for Thunder, and to present a model of the highest possible quality for use by all in missions and campaigns. Aesthetic value played a high part since Thunder plans to use it heavily in his renders.
The TD Aquila is the first ship of its kind. Following the Capella nova and the second attempted Shivan invasion, the GTVA realised it had failed with the GTD Hecate class in it's capacity as both a carrier and a destroyer. Over-reliance on smaller ships mean't less space for automated systems and more manpower required - manpower that was sorely needed elsewhere in the Alliance.
To address this problem the GTVA commissioned the SOC and the most intelligent development engineers available to create a new, mobile base. Smaller than a Colossus but capable of carrying a massive array of combat wings and heavy beam cannon, the TD Aquila is the result of this research.
Measuring around 5 Kilometers and employing the very latest in fusion pile technology, coupled with the latest advances in weaponry, armor, AWAC tech, shielding, automated systems and classified data gathered during the most recent Shivan incursion, the TD Aquila is the most formidable ship in the GTVA, capable of engaging any known warship and emerging victorious.
In honor of Alex Avery, the most distinguished Destroyer commander alive following the Capella nova, the first ship to leave the production line - The Aquila - has been given to him to command. Going by the alias of "Thunder" amongst his peers, Captain Avery has served the GTVA for seven years and overcome obsticals that lesser commanders would have run from.
Note that the above was lifted straigth out of an old readme I wrote - so some of it may have altered slightly.

Untouchable can fix that before he maps it, it'll be faster that way :)
Send him any info on stuff you want fixing. It needs to be fixed up before its mapped.
