Oooh. Any ideas where I might find that? I don't have any of the ST secret stuff.

Now..... if this were me, and my model... well.... look:

(But this isn't my model, so I can't force this on you. )

Thanks - glad you like it! Your idea for the back shell part is excellent - I might do something like that.

Neo_hermes, Trivial Psychic, Black Wolf: Cheers - the Graf Spee was part of my inspiration, actually. Corvettes carry out pretty much the same role, but this is supposed to be a more versatile ship, as it has some carrier function. Thanks for your support.

Nuke: Ah, I suspected that might happen. I'll have to think about it.

Well, the front drawing is VERY inspiring

Seriously now, from I gather it has 2 fins in the back? I think a center one would fit better with the design... my 2 cents

no. more like GVHC (Galactic Vasudan Headz Collector. )

Change your view to Smooth and Auto Smooth the model and it'll look better. Looks a little faceted at the mo.

Looking good, Pyro.

My one main suggestion is to give it an overall arching shape.  As it stands right now, if we were to imagine a spine inside this fish-creature of yours, it would be straight as a rod.  If you were to apply a simple warp modifier to give it a subtle arch to its overall shape, it'd be even better than it is now.

I think kara posted an avi conversion of it a while back, but I can't seem to find it.

Cheers, Raa

I just stumbled across kara's post as well, actually - he put headz and the terran vs vasudan fight in as well. Good stuff! That high-poly Typhon is pretty impressive...

Sesq: Thanks for the feedback! I'll have a play with it when I get back from work.

I've got them up too, in various places on the forum. (Granted, I got them from Kara, though)

[Trivial Psychic]

There's an even higher detail Typhon, but its only a side shot static image.  I can't remember which one exactly, but if you bought either the FS1+ST pack or just FS1, you can see it as part of the box art.  I also remember it being on an FS1 website run by .  There was significantly more details on it.

OT:

is it just me, or was that vassy fighter just blatted from the sky by a shivan with its bare hands?

that's a new one to me.....when did this cutscene occur again?

[Anaz]

wasn't actually a cutscene, was in a "secret" directory on the ST CDs

[Cobra]

"supersecret" to be more exact. it's too bad that wasn't made into a cutscene, it would have been very dramatic.

[Nuke]

looks like he punched right through the cockpit, thus explosing the poor vasudan to the vaccume of space

so how many vids were there? i got the headz vids and this one, must complete collection.
