Title: SB Nahema <high poly>
Post by: Devils_Hitman on May 11, 2009, 05:10:51 am: Going to be working on a High poly SB Nahema, has anyone done one? doesn't look like it in the mediavp's

<edit> Ok I meant to say Nahema, not Nephilim, but I see that hasn't been done either. This is the base higher poly model, it's about 860 polys and cleaner than the original. I plan to add more details later.

It's a good start anyway.

Post by: Devils_Hitman on May 13, 2009, 05:16:29 am: was thinking on adding recesses like this for the glowing parts, or should I make panels dividing the hull?

Look at the HTL Mara. Recesses would look cool.

Post by: Aardwolf on May 13, 2009, 07:45:55 pm: Yes, but make sure they aren't just random-looking. Like that weird little red square I see there.
Title: Re: SB Nahema <high poly>
Post by: Snail on May 14, 2009, 02:02:53 pm: Meh. IMO the HTL Mara could use some work.

It's quite old in FS terms, IIRC.

Yeah. The Mara, Sobek and Myrmidon would really benefit some enhancement. They, I assume, of lower priority to the retail stuff out there.

Post by: Mongoose on May 14, 2009, 04:17:23 pm: I don't see what's wrong with the Mara or Sobek, though I do agree that the Myrmidon could use with a bit of touching-up. Not every model needs to be greebled to hell and back to be considered "high-poly."

Compared to some of the newer material like the Loki, Zeus and Ulysses, the Mara looks more like the author just recessed the areas rather than actually adding any more detail. It does look much better than the retail one but could still use some work.

The Sobek on the other hand is just a more smoothed model with slightly recessed details.

Yeah, I'm a spoiled n00b like Aardwolf. :nervous:

Post by: Droid803 on May 14, 2009, 04:25:52 pm: Honestly, I would like to see ships that haven't been done get finished before the ones that are get redone.
