still not ready for game, i'm stabilizing it+ making the lods...btw.....
here are a couple of renders of the awing:



more renders in the swforum
i'll post some in game screenshots in the next days in our forum...this is just a teaser;7

[WMCoolmon]

And you say that'll be in-game?

[mikhael]

I dunno. Its not very original. I've seen the design somewhere before, I think... I guess it okay...














Good job.

[Zarax]

but... isn't it the A-wing from SW?

[Solaufein]

Ever heard of the word "total conversion"?

[Martinus]

[color=00ff66]Smashing work Karma, the hull plating is especially good, it's almost 100% accurate.

What's the polycount for LOD0?

[/color]

[Galemp]

Looks fantastic! I think there's a little clipping on the nose, though. Can't wait to POF it.

[IceFire]

Isn't there only one cross beam on the A-Wing or is that just me.  I always liked that vessel...small and fast.  And concussion missiles are always fun!

BTW: Does this total conversion have a website?

[WMCoolmon]

See that half-rebel, half-Imperial logo by all them SW staffers' names? Try that
It's under construction, though, so you might want to visit their forums

[Petrarch of the VBB]

How can these people not know about the SW total conversion? I thought it was common knowledge.

[diamondgeezer]

Dude, I know people that haven't seen a single Star Wars movie. Not knowing about the mod is a teeny sin in comparison

And since I'm posting - that's one hella nice looking space ship you got there, Karma

[KARMA]

final polycount for lod0 will be betwen 600 and 650 polys, not triangulized (around 1500 if triangulized)
and i really used a lot of maps to reach this detail level: 8 maps 256x256
the mesh is 95% mine, i started with an already done mesh for q3/tribes2, but i wasn't satisfied so i started rebuilding some elements..and element after element i rebuilt all the ship except the rear wings and few polys around engines
and textures are obviously all handjob by me

[Solaufein]

How much time did you spend on those textures? they are fabulous, i can only dream about being able to texture like that

well...ages:)
but i have to say that now, when i start a texture, i usually know what i have to do to obtain certain effects, i have to invent new solutions in very few cases now, and this speed up a lot the drawing job
plus i have now a little archive of dust,scratches,blasts, dirty etc that i can use for the textures, and this speed up the job too
actually i spend probably about the same time in uvmapping/applying textures that in drawing them

btw if you want learn i wrote a little drawing tutorial(make a little search in this forum), it was weird both for english grammar/spelling and for the general organization of the tutorial(i will probably rewrite it), but there were a lot of drawing strategies and tricks that can be useful

[Solatar]

Awesome ship, but the A-Wing only has one strut on the cockpit.

[KARMA]

you are right:)
+ the colour is in my opinion too blue, so it is a thing that i'm surely going to edit

[EdrickV]

Interesting model. The cockpit section looks strikingly like that on the 158th's Diamondback.

Hactually, to be precise, it's the other way around
