Ok, here's a model I built... it is intended to be a GTVA Cruiser... yeah, it is high poly (almost 2000 polys), but I built it with the SCP dudes excellent work in mind, cause I've got no doubts that they will make the game run faster and with better detail :) Keep it up boys!

The model still requires some tweaks in the UV mapping, but by these pics you can get the idea and provide feedback








Ok, comments are apreciatted... what do you think of it??

[EDIT]: fixed... thanx Tiara
OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I'm getting pissed off!!! I no longer know how to use the code!!!! let's see if this works

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

It's very good, but 2000 polys is not high-poly these days ;)

Nice model Raven, but I'm not sure it fits in with other Terran warships. Of course, I'm saying that on a purely cosmetic basis, theres no reason why a new line of ships couldn't be built, but there you go.

If you ask me, you should set it up to be some sort of transport... maybe that big space between those lower engine thingies could be used to hitch up a great big cargo container, and turn the thing in to a big tug like the Nostromo?

nice but to be honest it doesn't look like a 2000 polys ship, it's triangulized, right?

I think that's possibly the most original design I've seen in a long while (and not just because i'm suffering horribly from modders block)


Although I think you may have some room to reduce the polycount a bit from 2000, even without having to resort to detriangulizing it.

Actually, it looks like a kick ass freighter. You going to release it, or better yet, let me play with it? ;7

Ok heres my crits, though I doubt you'll change anythin on the model just becuase I say so.

Overall, I like it. 2 things that really bring down the overall quality for me are:

1. The very front of the ship. Try curving those 2 plates backwards a bit, and making them look less like a rectangle. See the Hecate for a good example of what they should look like. Also, make the "ears" (the things with the yellow construction sign texures) a bit smaller. Either by making them shorter, of by making them thinner.

2.Bring the 2 back "engines" (the fin-like things) a bit closer to the ship. Looks better that way I think..

Why is that so high a poly count? It could probably be reproduced with about 500... no?
