I already did redo the turrets on the Orion.  Check my Sig;)

I'm planing on overhauling that turret setup actually.  Planing to include turrets I created for the new HT&L Fenris.:D

Technicaly, yes you can MODEL side mounted MP turrets, but they never work right, so don't bother IIRC

Just to show my ignorance...
can you have single part turretts rotating 360° around a centerpoint?
I mean a turrett made of a simple single barrel, rotating in any direction around its base

Here you go Setekh.


New version on the left (both views), old on the right.  The new one does have UVmapping, but I have yet to texture it.

Dont' know KARMA, never tried it.  It could rotate in around one axis, but I doubt you could get it to rotate fully:doubt:

BUMP!:D

The redone forward section of decking.  No windows this time.

I've also redone the upper surfaces of the 'spar' between the forward hull and the main engines.

Next I'll try to work along the keel...;)

What are you using to render those views, Raptor? They're terribly solarized (color banding).

Truespace's own 'renderscene', import into PSP, crop/resize, then jpg save at 25% compression.

@Lt.C: and while your at that, maybe you could redo the Shivan attack on the vigilant;)

Well, since this threads been bumped (by quite a bit)...

Yes, there has been progress lately.  Was distracted by Revision:eek2:, Exams:eek:, and modeling an HTL *****;7.  But I've had a look at it (the Aeolus) again, and I'm ready to attempt to UVmap it.

Would post screenies, but can't right now.:hopping:
(Just in case, does anyone see the images I posted here?)

Is there anyone willing to texture this ship?  My own texturing skills don't come close enough to do this ship justice.:(
