From my first post (did it work earlier?)

http://www.gamingfiles.com/network/links.byebye?link=752

  If you notice not one word is mentioned anywhere about HW, as FGX is an Armada site...

I can't get the direct link to work, you have to go to the right side and click on Borg124 Art link

Basically DG apologised all over the place for the mix up and begged to be allowed to continue using the mods and they basically said no.

While I didn't like that attitude (When I release a campaign if someone wants to port my mods to another engine I'd be more than happy to see that happen as long as I got credit) I respected it since I figured it was their model to do with as they please.

If that turns out to be incorrect then I'm pissed off cause firstly they had no right to deny DG in the first place but cause secondly I was really looking forwards to the S:AAB conversion.


Is there a link to this discussion? Or was it over e-mail or something?

I've posted the link twice now (it shows up in my messages as I read them)

  Is something going on??? I am now using Mozilla Firefox and although I like it better than IE it seems to have some features not enabled I took for granted with IE...

Yeah, but I'm not looking for the guys ship models. I'm looking for the discussion between DG and Him.

S:AAB ruled. At least, it did during the first few seasons, after that I didn't understand a darn thing that was going on unfortunately (I was quite young and easily confusable at hte time tho ;) :p

I presume you've tried contacting him via ICQ as he gives his number on his site. He may have been lurking in invisible mode so send him a message.

hmm....from where i can download it ( if is opportunity do do it )?

 
Has anyone found a convertable model of the Hammerhead? (Without the drama of credit ownership) Or started to build one?

Cuz I just started



This is my first homegrown model in 3 years. So i'm still a little rusty. I am haveing difficulties finding blueprints or reference pictures of ALL angles of this ship.  Can anyone help me out?

... otherwise I can just stop and wait for someone else to do this.



PS: Yes, thats a Mac runnning Lightwave. Actually runs pretty sweet on a dual 2ghz G5.

I have an accurate Hammerhead already modelled & partially mapped.  But it's in a modeldump somewhere.

 
Cool, that saves me the trouble. What do you mean by modeldump? Whats your polygon count Aldo?

I'll just finish this as an exercise in flexing them old muscles. I', particularly having problems visualizing the shape of the engines and their relationship to the wings. They are very strange.

Mind if I download it, Black? Deperately in need of a reference. Is this model an original, or was this the source of past drama?

Modeldump is a big zip of unfinished models I release every once in a while.  Unfinished for various reasons, usually the pain of using TS to convert, or simply because I'm not happy with 'em.

The hammerhead was made for FS_2 normal ,it should be about 800-900 polys I think.  No guns / missiles modelled.  Map is technically done to the point of decal-ing, but I never felt it was detailed enough (it was pretty much accurate to the TV clips I had, though).  The underside rear thrusters might need a bit of work, I never had a good reference for them.

EDIT: hmm,looking at it, it probably needs a fair bit of work to fix the rough edges.  Maps need detailed, too - darken the lines, add 'rougher' shading, etc.  The neck was slightly too long, too - albeit that's fixed in the one prefixed SH.

Wouldn;t be happy with that nowadays, to be honest.

EDIT2; yep, it's original.

Wanna collaborate?

After looking at it, I have a better idea now how the wings and engines are arranged. Though the engines are kind of off, excellent and ACURRATE model nonetheless.

I can finish mine as a 3k poly version with both turrets and missile pylons by the end of the day. Texturing is a different issue. Yours could be a LOD unless you have a high poly of your own in the worx.
