Ive made a new thread for this because I may end up rigging this fro freespace.
I also have some new pics so please let me know what you think of the re-design.
The poly count is very high because I applied a smooth operator so it's easier to make out the lines.

Looks excellent.
-
I thought the Rear End looked rather wide for the ship.
Do you think it looks too wide?
-
It's good, man. It's very, very good.
-
Thank you. :D
-
Yes, yes, please! There are pretty much no good Shivan corvettes available. A model like this would be extremely valuable.
-
If i was going to do this as an HTL model what would it be.
The moloch has already been done and the Lilith must look like the Cain as they are like brothers.
(To me a lilith is a corvette as it is so powerful).

There's not really any good Shivan anythings around.
-
Whoever did the HiRes Moloch and Lucifer.
I love the new moloch.
But back to my question, what would this be if it was HTL?
-
MORE DETAIL!!!! :D

That's starting to grow on me, not bad.
-
Any ideas you can give me to make it more to your pleasing?
Any ideas anyone can give me to make it better?
-
Well it gives me the impression of a giant Chimera...
-
As in the mythical beast? (chimaera)
Or the things from resistance.
Sorry to be a bit naive but I dont particularly see a resemblance anything I would regard as chimaera.
-
Ah, haven't played Inferno?

I feel a heavy resemblance between the fore sections of the two.
-
I think I have inferno but alas, no Ive never got around to playing it.
Derelict remains one of my favourites.
But yes I do see the resemblance.
So is there anything you think I should incorporate in.
-
There's nothing I can think of, then again none of the current Shivan ships can give me a clear enough idea of what you could add. Just at first glance though it seems some areas lack the Shivan feel, though if this gets textured I might change my mind.
-
I will try to texture it.
But texturing isnt my forte
So it may take some time, especially to unwrap the model.
-
possible area of improvement for me is the triangular planes on the upper engine section which to me look decidedly terran at the moment

As it is, it still doesn't look very Shivan. It's decidedly looks more Shivan than before, but now it still looks iffy. I think it's the spars, arms, back, and how the detail doesn't really seem like Shivan detail.
-

Yup, Shivans suck :P
-
It's too rectangular.
-
I suggest fewer rectangles and more triangles.
-
Ill fix it tonight.
However im also doing a hi poly manticore for an unreal 3 mod.
-
What sort of Unreal mod is this that has Shivan warships :confused:
-
What I'm wondering is why this high-poly Manticore isn't being implemented to FreeSpace. :P

Well, we haven't seen it, so we have no idea how good it is.
-
I said manticore, i meant basilisk sorry.
Im in the process of doing the nose section.
When i say high poly i mean super high poly.
But there will also be a lower poly version for game engines.
-
But someone already did a high-poly Basilisk :(
-
It was never finished.
-
Besides this is mostly for unreal so it will be far more detailed than the other one.
I probably will port it to freespace though.

Yep, the 3 ... spines or what you'd call them are structured with rectangular things, that doesn't feel Shivan that much...
But still - a nice model, keep going :) !

Which brings us back to my earlier question...

-
A freespace unreal mod. :P
Kind of obvious really.
-
But... spaceships?
Is it like AFF or something?
