Title: New Light Fighter, Comments please.
Post by: WraithHost on June 18, 2001, 05:10:00 pm: (Hope This Works)

This is the fighter I'm working on. Any Ideas on where to take it from here?
It has about 280 vertex and 520 faces.
How does this compare to an 'average' fighter.

One last thing, in what "format" are the ship in? COB, POF, 3DS or maybe something else.

Post by: WraithHost on June 18, 2001, 05:38:00 pm: It is currently in .max format but should convert to cob without too many problems as it is made with one sub-object.
I was going to convert it untextured and try lithunwrap on the pof file as I only have Truespace 2 which sucks for texturing.
I like the anchients Idea. Perhaps a little terran reworking of artifacts. oops gotta go bed is calling as is work in the morning.

Post by: Fattony on June 19, 2001, 09:24:00 am: Nice. You sure its only 520 faces?

Looks kinda bulky. Too square to be Ancient. Would have to be a Vasudan Heavy Bomber, make the head a little smaller and it could be a cruiser.

Nice work.

Post by: QXMX on June 19, 2001, 09:51:00 am: Looks sweet. If it was small enough, it'd be a good fighter. Maybe make it more streamlined. I can't wait for textures (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Post by: morris13 on June 19, 2001, 11:46:00 am: Very nice design! I like the back end a lot, the front might look a little better if you extended the nose some to make it look a little more sleek?
