Keep in mind those aren't textures, they're just a plain color layed over the geometry.

Post by: Grey Wolf on August 12, 2002, 10:15:06 am: Actually, this isn't quite a new model. It's what's termed a kitbash. Essentialy, I ripped parts off the Athena, Ursa, and Zeus and ended up with this. The cockpit I completely designed, however.

Post by: tomcat on August 12, 2002, 10:30:54 am: Grey Wolf...next time when u post a model withc is undetextured is better to turn off the shading and let it flat in order to actualy see the shape of the model...the best case is to render it as solid-wireframe

Post by: Grey Wolf on August 13, 2002, 11:26:47 am: This ship is not going to be a heavy bomber. I want it to be able to actually move.....

As a technical achievement I think it's great work, you've made a lot of progress GW. :nod:

I guess like most other models the design is simply a matter of what you like, I can't say I like it too much and the textures don't really fit the ship.
Don't worry about it though, if you like it that's all that matters. :yes:

Good work. :)

But this one had actual polygon editing, no crossed polys, and me learning how to join models in Blender, so it is much better than the Scyros.

Post by: Galemp on August 26, 2002, 05:05:10 pm: Do NOT use those body maps! What you want is a custom full-ship skin like the Athena, Ursa, and Zeus. Go for the grey metal plating! Or try something along the Ares line--the gold and dark red cockpit looks nice.

Well, learn it. Neither did I when I started, so all you need is a bit of patience and hard gratf to get something worthwhile.

Post by: Grey Wolf on August 27, 2002, 08:28:25 pm: I also lack money to buy a good image-editing and mesh-editing tool. I'm 15 and all I can get are minimum wage jobs where I'd have to work for peanuts in a crappy working enviroment, and I'd have no time to mod.

Post by: penguin on August 30, 2002, 08:19:41 am: Have you tried The GIMP? (http://www.gimp.org)

It is free (open source), and has pretty much all the features of Photoshop, plus a very nice scripting language. There are also a slew of cool plugins available.

There's a WIndows version, although I've never tried it (I use Linux); follow the links.
