Apparently not one person can be bothered to even say... anything!

...Even after multiple requests for mere suggestion. Oh well...

I was bored and did not bother to use a rendering program...

I'd like to again ask for reviews of the mesh (which has conveniantly been posted for your downloading pleasure). Also, I'm considering doing either the new British aicraft carriers or the HMS Daring next - I'm open for suggestions.


I like the HMS Daring. It has a cool tower in the middle, and Wikipedia says its an air defense warship. You'll need something to shoot down all the fighters you made, so it might come in useful.

'Bout damn time I got a reply!

 :p

The problem with the Daring is that it currently exists - this means that rebuilding Daniel's model is going to be a chore (given that I have real references I'll be able to use). Regardless, I signed myself up for the job so I'm bloody well going to do it!

I'm also looking into starting a Zumwalt-Class destroyer... which is more like a battlecruiser, to be honest.  ;7 I've already got quite a few good references built up - the real treasure among those is a hull-center section diagram.

As far as what's here already, I'd still love for any modeler who has interest in this project to look at the mesh while noting what I've already said in the release post...

WANTED: TEXTURE ARTIST!

...If you have "mad skillz" with GIMP/Photoshop/whateverelseyoumayhave, I'd love to outsource you to do a 2048^2 map for the ship. Heck, if someone signs up to do this, I'll start LODding the UXV right now...

Woot! Positions for a texture artist still open!

However, I'll now throw something else to the wind:

A still very, very WIP MBB Lampyridae!

Triple post FTW!

If you use X-Plane, this is an alternate development of the MBB Lampyridae which will benefit from the same modeling as the one which might be used by DEFCON FreeSpace:

You mean Barry's plane?

If you want that, send me a PM on the X-Plane.org forum, not here, and I'll be happy to send it to you in the message. It might not work well in X-Plane 9, so if you have X-Plane 8 still installed, use that version first.

Also, you're not missing too much you haven't seen before in those attachments, Shadow. :p

I did a significant amount of work today on the 'Lamp, and I haz proofs!:

The ploy-count will start to shoot up once I really get started on finishing the canopy frame, the wheel wells, weapons bay, etc. The main focus so far has been getting a realistic interpretation of the fighter underway - if you care to look through the thread on X-Plane.org, you'll have a better picture of some of the resources which have been coming together in getting an actual simulator version of the Lampyridae ready to fly. That said, the primary form of the fighter is essentially done.

:)

Of course, I'll use the information from the sim to determine the best location for the undercairrage, where / how many weapon systems I can fit in within reason, etc. Viper2000 on X-Plane.org is an actual aeronautical engineer (though I don't know where he's employed - I've been tempted to ask, though) and has kindly obliged me in giving some commentary on how to realistically design the aircraft. This should be interesting...

 :cool: :yes:

Have I got a wheel of a deal for YOU!!!



Working on some things which are really irrelevant for FS right now, but here is a nice, still incomplete, and rediculously high-poly mainwheel and hub for the 'Lamp. Polycount right now stands at 7488...
