Oh the humanity! You've killed her!

that's what i thought when i saw the new one, but i thought that would be a bit to negative to say......


she's too.... fat, ok?

[KARMA]

very nice, macross-influenced maybe?
btw like it a lot, but...dunno there's something missing, and I agree with mik, I prefer the older version too.
The last version could become very interesting btw, the rounded nose look wrong but it's indeed interesting, maybe you could try some minor variations?
another thing.... you could add another section on that nose, behind the cockpit, to breake those long flat area

No, these Cherubim .

But... I don't care? ( that's directed to everybody who thinks the same, not just you, the quote was just better )
Like it or not, for what I mind
Of course there's gonna be more tweakings, but I do it my own way, and that's it. I don't do my stuff to please other peoples tastes, but mine.

Sometimes, Venom, you're an arrogant prick. I think that's why I like you.

Seriously, I could see multiple versions of the same ship. Using the first version of the cockpit, you could have it as an superiority fighter. The current, bulkier nose (with the suggested extra cockpit section behind the current one) could be a electronics warfare variant, etc.

Well of course, I never hid that fact Anyway, everybody likes me, it's just natural
No, really
As for the rest, pb is, I don't think I kept the old version, lemme check.
Ah, yes, I did. But it's nowhere near as complete as the other one, so forget it

Oh, and no need to break the long, flat areas. The old one was much worse in that regard, but people tend to forget about a very basic thing: textures, for god sake that's what textures are for, details
I think HT&L really drives people crazy these days, it's still a game, not Pixar latest movie Real time, you know? Something everybody should be able to play, not only the ones with a radeon 9800 and a pentium 2.4 Ghz.

I prefer the new one, though i reckon you should actually cut some polys to make the nose less bulbous.

Another update



Changed the nose shape back to the original version, the wings are now halfway between the old version and the one I posted before. Made the fins thicker, more like protections for sensors and stuff rather than actual fins. I also noticed some edges needed to be straightened
Oh, there's a line running along the ship coz I'm actually working on half of it, the second half is just a mirrored instance of that half of ship.

Meh, go back to your previous version with the pointed nose, and alter the tip of the nose so it has a perfectly symmetrical point instead of the funny-looking one, and then texture and release it. It shouldn't be exactly like the Ezechiel.

[Lightspeed]

By all means, trash that nose and revert to the one from earlier this thread.

[StratComm]

All I'm going to say is that when I saw the update, the first thing to come to mind was "Bottle-Nosed Dolphin."  That's not a bad thing, but I thought it looked better with a tapered fuselage.  Right now there's a fairly large divergence in shape between the gun pods and the main hull.  Though I can't complain, it's much better than anything I could come up with.

I think he should do both, so everyone will be satisfied (except maybe those poor souls who just live to ***** and moan.

[magatsu1]

those engine nozzles remind me of the YF19.

Hmm, I wonder if a thrust vector effect would be possible ?

It looks like an oversized (human) nose. And it's too plain for my liking.

[Bobboau]

Nico, you just keep listening to that voice inside your head, the new version is far superior, it just needs a few modeled seems here and there (though that one you have on the back doesn't look right IMHO, I'd say make one just before and one just after the hump, but that's just me) that's all it needs realy that and a rediculusly large number of fins for no realistic reason.

I think this model would look especaly cool cell shaded, we need to get that working again in HTL (it'll be after 3.6 I'm afraid, needs vertex shaders)

[Gank]

Nose reminds me of a super entard for some reason. I like it overall but the blockiness of the leading edge of the wings looks out of place with the rest.

[Fineus]

The nose needs detail - perhaps a couple of little indents with forward lights or something like that. It looks too bulbous as it is.

But its your ship - do what you want

[Ace]

Yays! It looks more like the original.

When skinning the ship, I'd make it look like the front part of the nose is detachable by maintenance crews and contains the sensor suite.

Also, keep the Ezie name, it sounds much more badass
