I have successfully textured Bobboau's superfighter.

First, take a closer look:

Of course, Bobboau's mesh is A1 SUPAR (It seems that people stopped using it...), but what of my textures????  Write a short critique!  Oh, this model will be used in Attempted Suicides.  I currently have no plans of releasing it prior to my campaign since it looks good and it's not mine.  (HINT: Most people would just leech the render POF anyway.)

Be gentle. This is my first attempt at making a [good] texture map.

[karajorma]

Very nice

[mikhael]

I'd like to see that mesh untextured.

Not a bad job, and the mesh is sexy. How is it I've never seen this beast before?

[Knight Templar]

teh mesh wuz in da Community FS concept art project thread thingie.

[Bobboau]

hey, that's pretty good

[redsniper]

Excellent

[Galemp]

There's a lot of Terran inspiration there, as far as the missile banks go. Ergo it looks Shivan on the surface, but it isn't truly Shivan. Shivans depend on their primary weapons, remember.

Textures are nice, quite appropriate. The silver gradiant is a bit overused, though. Shivans tend to use flatter, matte grays. Look at the Astaroth map to see what I mean.

As far as leeching the Render POF goes... just scale it up to 1,000 km wide. You can't use THAT in game.

Awesome!

Any ship with that many spikes MUST be shivan.

looks cool, but it's a bit too much I think, really too many things going in every direction.

[Bobboau]

a few things, the textuer don't folow the geometry in a few places it should, like on the tops of the two sides and the front of the lower middle section, of you go between textured and non-textured mode you will see many geometry details that the textures hide when they should bring them out more,
and I don't think I like the wavy black lines that go down the shiny parts, some of it looks good (like on the underside of the top of the middle section) but most places it's too uniform

I like your ship, I may have to steal it:drevil:

It's the yet nicest Shivan fighter I have ever seen. Nice, despite it will want to blow me up. . I also like the Scorpion and the Basilisk for its shape, but this one is better than any [V] attempts.

[Bobboau]

if you can't tell I was going for old school shivan design meets new, and it is sort of a cross between a manticore and a basilisk, though it looks a bit too much like a manticore than I had intended.
(just to make this clear I did the geometry and the UV space, I think this was one of the best UV mapings I'v ever done despite the one spot on the top of the big spike on the top/back of the side pods)

I still think the Manticore is the coolest-looking Shivan fighter.

[J.F.K.]

Hey, those are nice textures. As Venom mentioned, though, that mesh naturally confuses me... but I think it's apt for a superfighter.

[Bobboau]

it was actualy suposed to be just a heavy fighter, major punch power yes but hardly a superfighter, though no table was ever made so it can be what ever you want

[Sandwich]

Has anyone made any non-symmetrical Shivan fighters or bombers?

[Nico]

I made sketches for non symmetrical ships, but never modeled any. there's nothing like that in FS2 anyway, save for the ravana.
