Hello!
Finally decided to stop lurking and actually start posting something here :)
Job you have done is so amazing that it inspired me to try to make my own models and after some hard work and many mistakes I finally came up with this. It is hybrid human-vasudan heavy assault bomber or something.

Still WIP, especially in the wings area, but I would appreciate if you would tell what you think about it. This is my first ship but also in practice one of first models that I have ever created because I started learning 3ds max only few weeks ago. So dont be too harsh :nervous:
And thanks for awesome job everyone! I have really enjoyed your mods and campaings!
-
This is a really cool mesh. Ditch the Terran aspect, though, there's way too much fanmade Terran crap already. Do Vasudan/Shivan/alien stuff.
-
Could probably make it full-blown vasudan :P
-
Hmm, make the fuselage longer. I don't know if I like how the engines are placed...
-
It already looks different enough to not be Terran. Awesome! Looks anime-ish, though.
-
Not bad. Geometry on the main hull could use a bit more detailing, but pretty nice.
Also, protip: If it doesn't fit into the Terrans, Vasudans, or Shivans that well, most people will say it looks anime-ish even if it does or doesn't.
-
The detailing is awesome, but the main body, as has been stated, needs to be increased in detail (or smoothing). Unfortunately, it doesn't really look like any existing Vasudan ships- even a T/V ship, really.
Personally, given the awesome detailing, and the kinda hot-rod look of the thing, I'd say maybe convetr it into a civilian/pirate type fighter?
-
Ooooooh. ;7 Think I like where this is heading.
-
batman's ship!
-
Certainly is good, I like the wings specifically. Kind of wing/flame shape.
:yes:
-
I do like the ship, not sure about those exhausts
-
I personally think that they help differentiate the ship from normal Terran/Vasudan/known species, makes it unique and different.
-
Pirate theme would be great but I want this ship to by be in quite good condition. Not made from scrap metal and junk. I personally like terran elements, especially exhausts, so maybe it would be best to make it somekind of elite civilian craft because of quite heavy armament.
-
Perhaps it could have been an elite mercenary & protection team as Epeo suggested, but then they decided that they could make more money by going Pirate, which would make the bat-wings feel a bit more appropriate.
-
Vasudan elements have crept into Terran ships design by FS2. This could simply be the reverse.

Little update. I added few details and smooth. There are few ugly looking parts on fuselage because of bad geometry but I fix them after my vacation. Also if you have good name suggestion for this thing please tell it.

I hope that someday I find good rendering setup :rolleyes:
-
Oh, wow, that's way better. :yes2:
As for a name, it should be something non mythological - an animal or something.
-
That thing looks like the total distilled fear of an entire race. Great work, dude.
-
Phoenix

Phoenix
Wyvern IMO.
-
Preybird !! :)
-
I withdraw everything I ever said wrong about it.
Also, Raptor
-
Looks like a bat/vampire, eh. Dracula or Tepes would be cool :P
-
Quetzalcoatl(us).
-
Razorblade!
-
Jackal or Vulture?
-
Hellbarde or hellebarde(weapon) :pimp:

You mean Halberd?
-
Only thing I don't like is the cockpit section...but otherwise...great work.

Mantarraya ( this animal, kill the cocodrile hunter )

Mantarraya ( this animal, kill the cocodrile hunter )
That's pretty good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manta_ray

That looks like Dick Dastardly's space ship. No wait, Wile E Coyote meets Green Goblin. Thing just looks wickid.

Thank you all for the comments! You guys came up with so many ideas for name that now it is actually hard to decide which one is the best :yes:
Many of you have suggested naming it after animal and it is true that it could be little more orginal than mythology stuff. Still I maybe like little bit more names like Quetzalcoatl or Tepes. Also this ship seems to need invention of own specie. This messes up things more as then name of this ship decides name of other ships too as naming should be somewhat systematic and also tone of these names usualy descripes quite much specie that is flying them.
But creating good background story could help making somekind of campaing in the future so keep telling ideas for name and if you also have somekind of image about cool spacedude flying this thing, feel free to tell about him too :lol:

I will give it atleast more detail and maybe little redesing after I have managed somehow get back to my home.
I withdraw everything I ever said wrong about it.

When did you said something wrong about it? ;)

I had a comment about the exhausts a page back.

Just give it your own name! It has a nice and working sound to it. :) GTB Epeo
-
Come on, guys. It's a Vasudan-ship. Give it a good Vasudan name.
My vote Sphynx.
-
My vote for GTB Epeo
-
My vote for GTB Epeo
:yes: +1
-
GTB Narwhal , but the other name that I like it is Epeo
-
Epeo!
-
Not a bad idea hrmm? And it never hurts to give yourself credit, people'll look up your name after looking for the origin of GTB Epeo and wanting to see what else you made. ;)

Ok, then it shall be (GTB) Epeo, tough it sounds quite selfish. Also this damn holiday could end already so I would get back to modelling lol :lol:

Now the cockpit is looking little better.
This thing is reaching the point where my skill level of 3ds max ends, so ill give her some more details in bomb-bays and manifold and then its ready. Oh and of course Ill try to clean up some pretty nasty geometry problems and try to get it working on FS2 and some textures...
-
This is such a cool ship. Seriously, this thing's got some proper class.
-
The more I see this the more I think of it flying alongside Pirate Elites from the Xtended Mod on X3 Reunion (The OTAS-built Elite, not the Argon Elite found in Terran Conflict).
Though I really wish I could find a damn screenshot of it since the Pirate variant has a similar cockpit structure.
-
[/lurk]
It could turn out well, but as it is now, the parts do not seem to flow together well. Rather, it looks like a bunch of well-made individual pieces of spaceship stuck onto a hull willy-nilly. Just IMO.

It would be cool if you find one.

Yeah, I see what you mean. But as you might have guessed, the hull was the first thing I did to this thing and it is the oldest and most under done part of the ship. It has been in same state to this day as the other parts have been tweaked out and stuff but all the hull has gotten is only terrible looking smoothing. I stated in previous message that it is going to get more details and thats what I am still planning do to. Anyway, I appreciate your constructive comment.
-
I have been really busy past few months (life sucks really hard sometimes :p) but finally had some time to do modelling. I had to do some parts again because basic geometry is still really bad and more I fix, more problems show up. So not really much improvement but you can see what kind of details the hull will have.

Also here is start of an cruiser for the same race:

Wow... That's pretty cool. Mongrel of a thjing to UV and texture, I'm sure, but it will look bloody amazing when it's done.
