I'm back, after a fasion.

I was just browsing randomly through the posts, since I hadn't been here for awhile, when I saw this.  I looked, and found it kinda interesting.  The only problem is, while I can model, I don't the most conviction around here.  And I actually have finished that Hurc-Fury, but I can't figure out how to weld it all into one model with out screwing up the precious UV map I spent so many hours on, so It'll prolly just remain a couple of meshes still pretending to be one mesh.  I hope that doesn't kill the FS2 engine.

Back on topic, I could try my hand at modeling these things, but I'm one of those weirdos that models by drawing random vetices and getting a shape out of them.

In the midst of trying to test the PPC Linux FS2, aswell.

Also, I say the most recent R-wing is too, uh, cartoony.  The second to last is okay, but I think I still like the original the best.  Two wings, two stabilizers, and a grey low-poly carrot for the main fuselage.

Wow, what the heck just came out of my fingers?

The new one does look rather cool, IMHO and I'll be using that as a basis.

You say you're having a problem with a model? Chuck it in my direction and I'll see what I can do: Sailor_Saturn71(NOSPAM)@hotmail.com

Remove the (NOSPAM) bit.

Why not the first Arwing ?

Should be super-easy to do

[Knight Templar]

Why not make the whole mod low-poly/Star Fox 64 style. 64 still ain't that sophisticated, and texturing would be pretty easy to do... not that I'm volunteering or anything.

[Killfrenzy]

So, you'd rather we went uber-low poly, simplistic textures and stuff when we could rival Starfox 2 for graphical panache?!

[DaBrain]

Something like that.

[Killfrenzy]

Yeesh.......and here I thought we were going to annoy Namco!

[Knight Templar]

Unless you like doing a lot of work...

[Killfrenzy]

There's nothing stopping us doing nice ships. The enemies from Starfox 64 could do with revamping.

[terren]

well, if your going to do a campain, why not start with the orig and work your way up to the more advanced ones as the campain progresses?  just my 2¢

[Killfrenzy]

Ah, but the catch is 'what is the original campaign?' Remember that there was three routes through Starfox, and most of them were groundside.

[DaBrain]

The FS2 engine can do it all

[Unidan]

Yeah that sounds like a great idea! But I have an even better one. What if we make the arwing really high poly? And based on the new design? Doesn't that sound good?

A question for TI: In atmosphere missions if you stop... do you fall?  Or do you just float there?

We're working on it. We've had some ideas, but it's not easy with the current engine. In all likelyhood, you'll be "equipped" with some sort of repulsorlift style device that'll let you float. But lets not derailt the thread too much

[Killfrenzy]

Okay, so we can do ground missions........if Black Wolf let us in on some secrets that is!

[Jonathan_S47]

How is the project going?

[Moonsword]

Uhm, why would we want to fly that new Arwing?

The one from SF64 is a lot better.  Maybe you guys could do a model of both and let users choose.

[Jal-18]

Yeah, definately go SF64 Arwing-all the other's suck.  (The GC one isn't half bad, but N64 kicks its ass.)

Edit: some quick searching revealed this:

various blueprints (for modeling and techroom purposes)
