I remodelled it entirely from scratch. Not bad for 3hrs worth of work.

[quick renders coming. watch this space]

Yegads man, from scratch?! Nice one, mik.

It was easier that way and a heck of a lot faster. Devolving a detailed mesh from 38k polys to something sane is incredibly difficult. Working from scratch, with the higher poly model in the background is easier. The work goes much quicker.

That sounds pretty sensible to me, but being no modeler, I still must bow down in awe at the quality of that RBC, dude. Nice one.

The only problem with that, is if the skinning and such looks good on the final version, people will want more high-poly ships

Setekh · **Reply #164 on:** November 05, 2003, 09:52:35 pm

That's not a problem - that's an opportunity. to exploit Mik and his l33t high-poly modeling skills

yes that looks perfict for HT&L, right on, just with counts that high, make sure you don't use too many textures, a diferent one on each submodel will be fine (becase they have to be rendered independently anyway), but don't use like 30 diferent textures (if posable only use one),
also a note on UV mapping, future improvements may use index buffers, to get the most out of your model for this geometry structure you should try and get as many faces to use identical UV coords on a vert as posable, so if you can try not to break the faces into too many UV groupes, this however is many months down the road if it ever arises at all, so don't break too much sweat over it

The Hecate doesn't look cel-shaded at all... cel-shading looks very different from that.

The metallic shiny look suits it perfectly (except now the the edges of the textures really stand out).

Bobboau · **Reply #167 on:** November 06, 2003, 01:02:43 am

eh, how did anyone get cell shadeing out of that, it, it isn't even... anyware nearl looking cell shaded...

and as far as the Hecate shine maps go, look realy realy good, but I think they should have more dents and scratches in them to match the orgonal textures

KARMA · **Reply #168 on:** November 06, 2003, 03:45:53 am

in my opinion the Hecate textures absolutely don't give the idea of a ship of that size, althought the result is surely nice looking
mik...very nice model...l

Why should it look cel-shaded?

Fineus · **Reply #170 on:** November 06, 2003, 05:49:36 am

Somone else said it looked cell-shaded.. I think he's saying that it doesn't look like that at all

And Mik, I've said it before but... nice!

KARMA · **Reply #171 on:** November 06, 2003, 06:12:22 am

there is a shot of a hecate cellshaded somewhere, or am I wrong? And it was nice and she seemed a spaceship (or what I imagine a spaceship) more than the original one:), but obviously it was anime style

Okay guys, back on topic:

Shinemaps for the shivan comm node, and the NTF Iceni (note that the iceni maps are not complete, they're only an update to the earlier Boadicea pack)

Download the Shivan Comm Node & Iceni shinemaps

Comments welcome, but try to keep this on-topic since the thread is - uhm - rather huge even without any off-topic content.

J3Vr6 · **Reply #175 on:** November 06, 2003, 08:24:24 am

Are these all going to be included in the VP eventually?

Lightspeed · **Reply #176 on:** November 06, 2003, 08:43:22 am

lol that was bad... i hit the last post on page 7 O.o

anyway... yes i think they will be included in the mediaVP, and i'll prolly release a complete package too when finished.

J3Vr6 · **Reply #177 on:** November 06, 2003, 09:03:24 am

Sweet. I wanna download these but don't wanna be fishing around the entire thread for each individual set. I guess I'll wait til their done.

Keep up the good work, Lightspeed. I think what you do is bad ass.
