Looks good, are you going to release it?
TBH, it might look better with blue instead of purple.

[AndrewofDoom]

Hush you, I like the purple. Makes it stand out more.

The engine section doesn't seem to fit with rest of the ship. The colors stop abruptly before engines for one. Otherwise, well done.

Agree with this, but purple is cool. I like the model.

Space fish!

+1. The 'orthogonal thruster pods don't really mesh with the smooth lines. Then again, I was the one who modeled the Syracuse, so I'll shut up now.

This still is the kind of 'first model' that makes everybody (including yours truly) drool, ofc, so Kudos, mate. Looking forward to other creations. 

BTW, joelever, you wouldn't be using 3dCoat for anything, would you?

[esarai]

I don't give a crap about the colors, I demand a download link because that's pretty dang spiffy.

[joelever]

I am still working on the model. I'm still trying to learn blender, I started learning Blender and Truespace about a week ago. There are some things I don't like about it but ever time I try to make changes I don't like them. I may just redesign the thing when I learn 3D modeling better.

I'm not sure what 3DCoat is. I'm just starting out.

This thread is too purple!

[Sab0o]

It's an early warning system alright.



I swear it looks a lot better since Zacam did his thing with it. The ""gas" effect came out better than i was expecting too. Good work mjn, Zacam.

[T-LoW]

You're all such teases!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

That Charybdis looks fantastic! Sadly, it also makes the nebula useless for concealment.

Is that ... the Vauban's nameplate on the TC-TRI docked to it? Nice touch.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Double-post.

Oh hey, Zacam has uploaded a plain image of the new Charybdis onto the Wiki. Compare:


Old


New


Even bigger new

Better nebula.. same cool Charybdis.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I think it would look better if it was darker, but there is a fine selection of dark nebulae to play with already...

[deathfun]

I still can't seem to get my model to convert into a proper .dae file to put into PCS2
DAMN YOU MAYA

Very nice work, Axem, Sab0o and everyone else that contributed on the Charybdis

While crawling through the Wiki yesterday, I came across an article on the old GTCv Moscow project. Seeing that both Black Wolf and Darius had revived the project temporarily last month and some of their files were still floating around on the Internet, I decided to render something in Autodesk Maya using whatever I found. This is what I got:



These are my settings used:
Image rendered in Autodesk Maya 2010
Image rendered at "2K Square" (2048 x 2048 pixels)
Rendered using mental ray at Production quality

Here are some credits:
Model by Black Wolf with contributions from akenbosch, Hades, Vasudan Admiral, RazorsKiss, Vengeance, Turambar, Water and bizzybody
Textures by Darius
Bump-mapping by Black Wolf
Glowmaps by Darius
Shinemaps by Darius

A cropped version of this image is currently set as my desktop wallpaper.

It's funny, actually. Black Wolf considered the overall project to be a failure since initial interest in it fizzled out during the texturing phase. I, on the other hand, personally feel that it requires a great amount of passion, dedication and imagination to get something from this:

[Deadly in a Shadow]

Now that looks good!

[deathfun]

That GTCv Moscow looks bloody awesome! Shame it was considered a failure




Alright, fed up now. So I can't get you in the damned game? Fine! I'll make my own pictures of you you whore of a bloody model
