Some cube, I say. Looks very nice.

Reminescent of a 158th bomber.

oh that looks very cool

what prog?

aldo_14 · **Reply #3 on:** August 09, 2004, 03:29:20 am

I like. Bit wary of the no. of polys on the things connecting the top engine / ventricle thingie as compared to the rest of the ship, tho. you may want to consider sharpening the edge of the wings / tailfins too.

Sweet

Black Wolf · **Reply #5 on:** August 09, 2004, 06:57:54 am

Smooth out the cockpit/fuselage a little. It looks way, way low poly compared with the rest. Otherwise, 'tis very cool.

It definately has something.. Is it a kind of Interceptor? It looks very fast.

Taristin · **Reply #7 on:** August 09, 2004, 10:37:00 am

TS, eh? You gonna boolean those little front arms into the model? I hear TS is horrible with booleans...

Goober5000 · **Reply #8 on:** August 09, 2004, 10:55:51 am

Wow, cool. What are you using it for?

Liberator · **Reply #9 on:** August 09, 2004, 11:05:47 am

How many polies?
Which Program did you use?
Why is it so short?

Taristin · **Reply #10 on:** August 09, 2004, 11:21:55 am

That's definately TrueSpace. I can tell by the little dohickey on the bottom right.

It's a 'new kind'

Looks quite gun-shippy, with that cockpit.

Flaser · **Reply #12 on:** August 09, 2004, 02:16:31 pm

I like it.

It is actually ugly in charming way - being so robust and snotty just gives it a character that even the all beautiful smooth sporty ones can't get.

I really like it.

Carl · **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2004, 03:07:38 pm

just don't think of putting it in the game

Swamp_Thing · **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2004, 03:24:56 pm

eh eh, i really wanted to add some more detail to the front, but the poly count is already a bit steep. I was thinking of keeping the front faces clean, to add the detail with bump maps and a good texturing.
The fins could be worked, but again, the poly count is scarying me...
As most have guessed it, its a Truespace model.
Here´s the back and top views.

Liberator · **Reply #15 on:** August 09, 2004, 04:06:19 pm

Looks kind of Freelancery. You still didn't say how many polies.

It´s way too big. Has 3.000 polys, if not triangulized. 8.000 polys after triangulation.
There´s a whole lot of triangules that are completely unnecessary, but the Truespace engine makes them anyway.
I´m gonna clean them out now, and try to drop it to half the polys. Won´t be so detailed, but what the heck...

magatsu1 · **Reply #17 on:** August 09, 2004, 05:50:18 pm

don't bother with the triangulation tool. You'll spend more time removing excess edges. I'd be inclined to agree with Aldo with the central engine tubes too.

Real nice work though.

Swamp_Thing · **Reply #18 on:** August 09, 2004, 07:52:49 pm

Ok, did a bit of work on it, and got it down to 2300 polys. After triangulation, it rises to 4900 polys.
Took out a few details, cleaned up the geometry, added the low poly guns, the cockpit fin and support-ship lock point.
Here it is:

What do you guys think?

What??? That´s my favourite part! Reminds me of a Cadillac V-12 engine!

I was thinking of adding another pipe to each side, even. No way i´m taking it out, it gives the model some spunk!
