I have designed a super heavy fighter \ gunship, and i know that it could use some more detail, (but i don't do that very well), and i think that someone else would give much beter justice to texturing.  anyone got any good ideas??









It has 851 verts, and 634 faces.

I call it the Valtun.  A completely alien craft of unknown power found  shortly after the destruction of Cappella on Vasuda Prime in an area that was exposed by the Lucifer but previosly unexplored.

err...i think you should put a couple of turrets on it if it's a gunship.

Well I get the impression you're going for a sleek alien ship, but even with that in mind, it should still have more definition.

I would add machinery parts or greebles or anything to the bottom/engines/guns to give it some unique definition, then smooth quad divide.

Also, it comes off as more of a interceptor rather than a gunship.

[boewolf]

it does come more as an intercepter at the moment.  but its size and the forward beam weapon in the nose will change an enemes mind quite fast.  its going to be bigger than a bomber but smaller than a cruiser.

At first I thought it was small and exclaimed, "look! It's teh Delta Flyer on crack!"  Just kidding... Looks neat..

I was thinking the exact same thing

It could use a little more definition but it's looking pretty promising so far.

[KARMA]

yup, it's from the film the navigator

[boewolf]

I never seen the film.  is it any good??

[karajorma]

It's a kids movie. Not a bad one though.

[diamondgeezer]

Quite a cool little film for a kiddies' adventure. The ship in it is mightily sweet, it's just a shame you can't make this one morph

[Fineus]

Can't find an image of it "first class maneuver" mode.. but it looks a lot like the model you made.

[Flipside]

hehehehe It's like The Last Starfighter, it's a kid film, but fun nonetheless

Oh yes, and I like the model, but surely putting huge guns on this thing is like destroying the whole Navigator goody goody thing?

[KARMA]

well, yes, those images are of the "fat" version, the model is halfway between this one and the more aeorodinamic version

[Star Dragon]

It was a documentery you fool!

   Besides I need some deck fighters and a command carrier adn a starfighter base, and someone to subobject the gunstar I have and vood we got last starfighter!

[aldo_14]

Someone made a Gunstar back when I  first joined the VBB, btw.

[Flipside]

LOL!I'd like to see FS2's version of Death Blossom, and who gets to Voice Act the Gung-Ho Iguana?

Though come to think about it, theres quite a lot in common between the Last Starfighter and Alpha One

[phreak]

Its the conch shell of death

[Beowulf]

I like the general shape, but I would re-work it to include weapon points at the two side edges as well as a re-work of the engine--it's kind of funny IMHO. That oval thing on the bottom is kind of unique, it would be good as a distinguisher for a species: maybe thats what there cockpits look like; maybe they're so fat the only way they can be loaded into it is on a flying hover tray?

[boewolf]

i was thinking of adding something like staf cannons from a death glider from stargate.  what u think??
