Ok, here is the GTVA Interceptor for CIM. Coments are welcome of course.

Also, I know you usually don't like to see the models with smooth shading, but this one looks so cool with it IMO that I had to show it up









Also, expect some inactivity regarding new models for the next weeks... cause I'm mainly trying to come up with cool designs and seeing how they go in 3d, and only then I will show them...

I know Truespace supports smoothing groups, so maybe regroup the insides of the engines so we're not getting a blob effect back there?  However, that model is otherwise excellent.  Draws heavily from several existing ships, but that's not a bad thing....

Looks good, looks like maybe even a little Shivan tech was thrown in. Excellent work.

That's not necessary, this is just to show it on pics... well you get the picture of the ship, right??

[Sheepy]

its the perseus on crack, me likes

[phreak]

looking good

[Lightspeed]

GTF Auxesia? Nah.

Perseus Mk II? Definately.

Actually Raven, smoothing is ultimately very necessary.  Take a look at the DatDB internal and you'll see what I mean.  Freespace can handle some smoothing (anyone know how many groups by chance?) and it helps immensely when the ship needs to not have every facet showing.

Thats looks so fine ^^, and also i think: this ship have some Shivan inspiration

[Setekh]

Real nice mesh there, man, but Auxesia? Don't you remember our Red vs Blue?

[q]Simmons: Why Warthog, sir?
Sarge: 'Cos M12-LRV's too hard to say in conversation, son.[/q]

Meant to be easy to say.

[Knight Templar]

It's like a Herc + Perseus with Mara. 1337

[GT-Keravnos]

Deffinitely FreespaceY.

[IPAndrews]

Get's my seal of approval. Captures the FS2 look perfectly in my opinion. You could happily leave that whole model smoothed. I can't see anything there you'd want to facet.

[RangerKarl]

It also has that modular feel. I dunno, you could stick oversize pods or bits around the back end there. Totally optional of course.

I think he means just for the plain untextured mesh - normally with smoothing it's harder to make out the shape.

Ok, say after me: "Au-cse-zia"! See, easy!!! (sorry, but I kinda forget that some languages aren't so much advanced in terms of phonetics like portuguese... honest!)

BTW (IIRC):

Simmons: But Warthog? It looks more like a puma!
Sarge: A Puma?? What kind of animal is that? Are you kidding me boy?

Aldo: Exactly what I meant

[Nico]

Auxesia sounds gay, tho.
"runs"

[Raven2001]

*shocked* No it doesn't!!! *shocked*

Ah, WTF, everything sounds gay in French, if you ask me!!! Really hate that language (no offense)

[IceFire]

Is it greek?  If it is, then its a good name for a Terran ship.

I like it , I think the textures will probably help define the vessel ultimately...it seems very complicated underneath, thats the only thing that I find detracting from an overall beautifully designed mesh and vessel!

[Raven2001]

Yep, Auxesia is greek or roman, not sure which...

All my fighters will be textured when anyone who can draw them helps me out...
