Title: Concept by Scorpius, model by me...
Post by: Ryx on April 20, 2002, 05:32:22 pm: Made it today.
It didn't turn out too bad. I know it's not an exact replica, but it looks like concept.
I'm going to make a variant of it tomorrow. :nod:

What do you think?

Post by: Ulundel on April 20, 2002, 05:40:01 pm: Great as always. No offense to our model magician but I like Ryx's models much more than Venom's. Not to mention that Ryxy releases one every day.

Post by: mikhael on April 20, 2002, 09:41:45 pm: Nice transition from concept drawing to model. I don't like the extension of the main fuselage in the center there. I assume its a gun, but it doesn't really 'flow' with the rest of the model. Good job detailing the inner edge of the 'wings'.

Thats why you are great, you can't model the mesh as well as some others (like me :p) but you can map a hell of alot better than most of the people here (again me ;))

Post by: mikhael on April 21, 2002, 08:54:26 pm: The new aft section looks great.

As for the Vorlon comment, I'd have to say it was only superficially similar. Over all, it bears more resemblance to the corp ships in Tachyon: The Fringe than to Vorlon craft.

Post by: Bobboau on April 22, 2002, 03:08:14 am: arms look blocky, so does the body, I think you should up the poly count and make the geometry less squares and more tiangles

Code: [Select]
less like ________ | | | | | | |_______| | | | | | | |_______| more like ______ \ / \ \ / \ \ / \ \/____\ /\ / / \ / / \ / /____\/

stupid ACSI art :mad:

Post by: Scorpius on August 18, 2002, 12:29:38 pm: WHOOO! Awesome! I love the Armageddon in 3d! : D I should mention the background behind that ship:

GTX Armageddon:
A classified prototype based on the remnants of a foreward section of the Infamous SJ Sathanas... After years of Studying the debris, GTVI retrofitted the GTX Armageddon to wield the subspace distortion field that the SJ sathanas used to cause Capella to go Supernova. The Ship has the potential to be the most powerful vessel ever created by the GTVA (If produced in mass quantites) but the massive size of the vessel restricts production.

I love it! now model the Ursa II! :D

I normally dont get so excited about this kind of thing but Ive never had someone else put my work into another median (And Im a volunteer Concept artist.) :D

Post by: NeoHunter on August 20, 2002, 06:48:57 am: It looks more like a Shivan fighter than a Vasudan fighter. Its the design man.:)
Title: Concept by Scorpius, model by me...
Post by: Scorpius on August 20, 2002, 02:25:41 pm: Its not a fighter, its about the same size as a hecate because its based on Sathanas tech. Wow I didnt know this topic was soo old, I just got a message telling me to look at this threat just a few days ago.
