A little while back I went through my models folder because it was getting far to full. In amongst the half finished projects and the multitude of models I have saved in there I found my first ever mod.

Although I'm no great modder what really suprised me was how poor it was in comparison to what I can do now. I didn't feel I'd improved that much until I looked at it

So I thought why not ask everyone to post a picture of the mod they are most proud of and their worst/first ever attempt at modding.

Since I raised the topic I'll go first

Oh dear. What was I thinking?

The idea was to make a small carrier for a pirate faction I planned to have in my campaign. In the end I decided to scrap it and make something new (I did actually get as far as FREDding a mission with it in first!

).

Here's something I'm more proud of. My Charon Class carrier for SoR.

BTW I posted this here rather than in the modding section cause it isn't really a serious topic so I thought it might be more suited to Hard Light. If an admin disagrees feel free to move it.

geez.. i guess my art doesn't count, does it?

We'll see how long it lasts, Kara.

Well, my first (and last) foray into the modelling area was the GTD Cube. She's still a beauty, IMHO.

Next, I tried my hand at a few skins... I still have a soft-spot for my Loki 2.

But I really found my niche when I started putting emphasis on the art of rendering itself. And boy, do I long to get back to it.

Ohhhhhh yeah.

well.. ummm...

the oldest i've had available on my FTP..

and nowadays..

i've come a long way since then..

EDIT: as far as humans are concerned.. judge for yourself..

Setekh · **Reply #4 on:** October 09, 2003, 09:52:39 am

Wow, haven't seen that latest one, dude. Way sweet.

Do you think that you could arrange for the Foxfire squad to somehow end up as pilots in a space dogfight around mid-November?

Nico · **Reply #7 on:** October 09, 2003, 10:01:16 am

that's supposed to be our first/latest model for FS2?

My very first pof, the YF-21 from macross plus.
My latest complete, playable, well, dunno, check the forums. The harpy probably ( have no pic ).

edit: yes, have a small one:

edit2: a cookies for the admin who thought wise to disable the img tag so you have to use lvlshot tags to show even small pics, which will therefore be enlarged and look fugly, so you'll get links instead

edit3: never mind, found out that the img tag must be in caps now.

edit4: no, no edit 4 after all

Doesn't have to be your latest Venom. I'd quite like to see what you are the most proud of too.

Nico · **Reply #9 on:** October 09, 2003, 10:23:27 am

well, my latest would be the high poly valkyrie test, but it's kind of not good, so I guess the harpy applies well. probably not my favourite, but I still like it a lot, that's my best shivan design save for the judas, I recon.

HotSnoJ · **Reply #10 on:** October 09, 2003, 11:33:42 am

My latest design. A cross between a WW2 P-38 fighter and a N-1 from Star Wars.

Man I shudder at how bad I was.

Hey, that thing's kind of cute.

Give it more detail and it'd be a good model.

karajorma · **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2003, 01:47:02 pm

Well thanks Shrike. I suppose it could be salvaged but I'd probably find it easier to rebuild it from scratch since large sections of it are very boxy. That said the way I tend to model I doubt I could make the same ship twice so it would probably end up looking completely different

I suppose I have to say the same thing to Hotsnoj though. I quite like the overal shape of the earlier one as well. Now that you've improved you might want to revisit that one too

aldo_14 · **Reply #13 on:** October 09, 2003, 01:49:25 pm

My 1st capship... loads of clipping problems, made in blender & textured in TS

the newest ship I can show (actually about 4 months old now)

And more directly;

Old (very first) Claymore

The latest version

(which is actually a bit badly mapped in retrosepct, but ne'ermind - I have better stuff tucked away

)

Galemp · **Reply #14 on:** October 09, 2003, 02:15:13 pm

Umm.

My first POF from start to finish was the GVSC Nibada, which I think is lovely.

My latest model... well I'm actually not too proud of it. I had an interesting idea but I couldn't carry through with it. StrattComm's messing with it now. I'm not gonna show anybody though.

Woomeister · **Reply #15 on:** October 09, 2003, 02:26:26 pm

My first original model:

Simple Shivan pylon made in TS1, Part of a modular Shivan shipyard I made 2 years ago.

My last two models:

The SF Danta, my first non concept pic small shivan craft.

http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/sfreighthull.jpg
SFr Iksura, Shivan freighter and the latest model I've made.

Thanks man. It was made for a now defunct mod campaign idea of mine.

my first ever FS model. Not my first first.

Made to be a perfect balance between fighter and bomber.

Those were the dayz.
