Title: Gunstar Models, check em out.
Post by: morris13 on May 04, 2001, 12:32:00 am

Gunstar is 540 polys, plus five turrets. Deck fighter is 470 polys, plus five turrets. No textures yet, but thats my next project now that i've got the models working properly =)

Give the bottom one spikes and it'd do well as a Shivan fighter.

You're right. Put a pair, one up one down, on a slight incline backwards, on each long arm part. It would serve to shake it up a bit too.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

yeah!  The pods on the ends of the wings could be the missile pods, and the 'elbows' would be the engines and guns.  Might want to make them a bit bigger though.

Well yeah, but these aren't origional designs, like I said. I was working from the movie to try and get the proportions as correct as possible.
As it is the pods on the ends of the wings are two of the things three engines, the other is on the main hull. The elbows are the gun mounts, with two paired laser turrets on each one. Total weaponry on the green thing is 10 turreted lasers and four fixed ones, plus big missiles (like trebs, but much shorter range)
The Gunstar mounts eight primaries, and seven turreted lasers, one in each forward turret and two each in the aft ones. I still haven't decided how I want to do the secondary banks tho...


If I am l33t enough I'm thinking of building a small Last Starfighter total conversion, but I want to make sure I can actually make these things fly and shoot first. =) I'm glad you approve of them tho.

Fantastic work. I tried to build a low poly version of this a few times. You got the shape down perfectly. if you need photographic reference for texs drop me a line and I'll send it electron express   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Looks like Rhino format to me.

Right now they're in cob format. I've tried converting the deck fighter (green one) into POF, but my object hierarchy for the turrets must not be quite right yet. Thanks for the offer Maeglamor, but i've actually got texture maps for a gunstar from a homeworld mod I found. I couldn't use the model because it was too big (1200 polys) but I should be able to paintshop the texture maps into a useable form.

No problem, I can't wait to see the finished result  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Please send those models to  [email protected] . I want to have a crack at texing them.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

sent. Lemme see em when you're done. =)
If you wanna do a gunstar in black as well as the normal silver, that'd be A-1 SUPAR too, for my own devious purposes. > (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Eh, that's no original models, but you can make variants   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif), if you want, you can send me that green fighter, and i'll make a shivan model (with maps and so on) out of it in 2 days (and I'll be able to release this one, yeah! did you notice, I never released any of my models   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) (it's borring to work for campaigns sometimes, you have to wait that the whole stuff is released to show what you've done)Of course you'll have full credits ( that would represent no more than 25% percent of the whole work to add 4 or 5 spikes and a map).
 
oh btw, unfortunatly I can't make thrusters or turrets to work (don't ask why, if I knew they would work), so you would have to make all that in TS...
