Yeah, it's (quite) a bit like the last one, only I imagined something bigger. I'm thinking either something more of a conventional bomber or some kind of deep space recon craft. she would have a crew of... what 3,4 pilots? Not sure about other stats. If I've ever been...

*hopefully, I'll get some new inspiration/Ideas soon*

Post by: Killfrenzy on June 06, 2002, 03:27:02 pm: That would make a lovely intercept fighter! At least, with a slight re-design of the nose. :)

Post by: Ryx on June 06, 2002, 11:14:51 pm: I'm not happy with the front section either. I jusr didn't feel like fixing it properly yesterday.

Post by: EdrickV on June 07, 2002, 03:10:49 am: Hmm. Nose needs work, but you knew that already. Looks like it could be partly Shivan, partly Terran. (Maybe a Terran-Shivan hybrid made after the FS2 timeline as the Terran-Vasudan one was made after (or was it during?) FS1. The difference being that the Shivans didn't help in it's design. :D

The cockpit still doesn't look good, but this should give you an idea of what I'm thinking about doing (better :wink: ).

Also shanged the rear 'fins/wings'

Post by: Kellan on June 07, 2002, 12:14:08 pm: Like it. Looking better, though I agree that the neck in particular needs a bit more work. Looks a little too fat for my tastes...

It also looks very big. I'd say that it it were an interceptor, it should be the GTF Lardass... :D However, it could be a cool heavy fighter or bomber - looks like it should carry Trebuchet-type weapons rather than big torpedoes, though, so I think a heavy fighter would be better.

EDIT: I'd like to point out that the neck more than anything makes the ship look oversize. The rest of the model would be equally good as an interceptor, but that neck... :no:

ok tried to make a custom map. It's only a map for the top side, and not a very complete one at that. It's created in ps7. not that that made things better, 'cause I suck at PS.

There's got to be a good texture creation tutorial out there somehwere (I'm aware of the one @ XWAupgrade.com). My google searches have been less than succesful. Not too shabby for a beginner. :)

The thing I hate about trial & error is the frustration.

Post by: IceFire on June 09, 2002, 02:22:56 pm: The black lines....change that layer to 50% opacity and see what it looks like then. Looks good!

Post by: beatspete on June 09, 2002, 03:08:17 pm: Latest model is looking pretty good. :yes:
The red is intresting... but makes it look a bit shivan. Maybee some dark green stripes to balance it out, sort of artimies DH green.

The first pic is basically Icefire's suggestion and then I played a bit with the blending modes, or whatever it's called, in PS.

I decided to redo the top view again. It's not perfect, but I'm much happier with the result.
The cockpit isn't supposed to have such a prominent seam, though.
