Just a model shot repository until I update my page and make it less sucky, like it was back in the days when it wasn't sucky around five years ago. Don't feel like thumbing through a dozen image tabs to find the one I want, so they're mostly going here. Go ahead and comment if you really want to, but if you're planning on making a post consisting solely of your being "clever" or showing your boundless intelligence and expressive ability by posting a single emoticon and nothing else or otherwise making me scroll past you unnecessarily, please, think of the children. Specifically your own, which you will never have, because I will remove your nuts with a claw hammer if you waste my time. Had enough of that **** in my threads.

First up. Scavenger assault fighter thing, incomplete until BladePro and the FP guys stop giving me ****. Buy a second version of their product when the first one won't render already, my ass...

A bit on the blocky side. I'm not really sure what I'm seeing here. Is that a secondary bank built into the front of the engines? Where's the cockpit? or is this not a fighter? Its just basically hard to tell. IT looks like you had a good start with the front end and just didn't finish detailing twoard the back. And finally, what's with the front of the guns?

Where's the nuns?  I WANT NUNS!

I like the light and shadow. Cover the whole ship in it.

Mik: Yes it is; yes; cockpit's right there, the red bit, don't see how you can't see it; actually I started with the back end and just threw some stuff on the front because it was ugly, but yeah, I'm gonna greeble the back a little eventually, once I figure out what to add; and they're supposed to be sorta modified muzzle brakes, for a big pair of plasma guns- I know, I don't like 'em either, working on something similar that's less ugly.

Steak: Cover it in shadow? As in black? It's not that ugly.

[mikhael]

Ah, I see. the red bit looks like a fighter bay or something. Can we get some ortho views?

[Ashrak]

things dont rust in space.

[mikhael]

Things CAN rust in space. All it takes is exposure to an oxidant. Flying through a nebula--especially denser portions--could, possibly, lead to oxidation.

[kasperl]

also, leaving her in the repair bay would cause rust, or even plasma weapons might.

[Carl]

well, even if it can't rust, those are some pretty good textures.

[Stryke 9]

Mik: Um... later this afternoon, when I work on it again, I guess.

And things don't typically rust in space- unless you spray them with a high-level oxidant to give the hull a protective layer. Also would make it show up less on sensors, etc.
Plus, I found the vertex shader functions halfway through the model.

Light and shadow, silly. Seriously, give us a few well-lit shots, then give it bathe it in some really dynamic lighting. I reckon it'd come out trumps.

'M busy with the modeling portion at this point. Finish model first, then make pretty render. If model ever truly finished, that is.

[Stryke 9]

Updated. And one for Mik. Will have "new" stuff up presently.

[Stryke 9]

Bah. Naturally I forget this thread is here, as well.

Anyway. Guns. There is a reason, and it has to do with why I've been bothering people for usable character models. Also, making one just seemed so dissatisfyingly easy. Still adding **** to the sniper-rifle one.

[Stryke 9]

Don't mind me, just doin' stuff.

[Knight Templar]

You know, if I ever even thought of getting even remotely as detailed as that, I'm sure MAX would promptly shut down.

[Stryke 9]

It does quite a lot on the big ones. Which would be why there are so damn few renders of them. The ones on here are actually kinda basic...

I keep my poluycount to the lowest for a reason ( but it's not a software limitation for me, sadly ).
