Dude second only to the fenris, that is one of the best high poly ships I have seen so far

[Taristin]

Thanks ....

[Black Wolf]

4700 Triangles is getting up there a little bit - might want to try to finish it off somewhere around the 5000 mark, especially since these ships are common enough in groups of 2 or more.

Still looks good though.

[redmenace]

I can't wait for it to be fixed the thrown into the hi poly vp.....when I get some frickin time. :sad:

[Bobboau]

wait a sec, no engine ports, Shivan engines are just mysterius glowing blocks.

[Lightspeed]

This is more or less the shape of a Lilith.



Click here for a more detailed and comparative view to the low-poly version

note: The bottom parts of the "engines" are good on your model.

[LordAnubis]

I have to agree with Lighty on this one, I'm not too keen on it.
Some parts of the model are really good, but the main part just goes against anything at all that's Shivan and doesn't fit the intended shape of the vessel.

Sorry, but IMHO not the way to have a poly upgrade.

That sums it up well i think.

If the person UVmapping the cruiser does a good job, it will use the standard maps.

Lighty...you seriously have too much time
Or did someone else make those comparisons ?

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]That's one impressive piece of work, an upgrade on the low poly version in every way.

All you whiners go make your own.

A good photoshopper can make a picture like that in hours, if I am not mistaken.

In response to the thread:
I do not want this hi-poly model be unfinished. The High-poly Medusa(which is my favourite FS ship) has not yet been released and I have got a bad feeling it will never reach our hard drives.

It's quickly done if you have an original Lilith to look at.

As for the rest: More is not always better. Except for a few details which are good (note: bottom of the "engines"), the "upgrade" ruins the entire shivan design of the ship. Instead, it now looks like some "funky techno cruiser", definately Terran in design. Somehow reminds me of Apidya, where a something like this:





is transformed into something like this:





Poly upgrades are good, but please, keep it shivan.

-edit: added a screenie for the original look so you can see the difference better. While the Lilith should/would be the first one, your model is the second.

[karajorma]

Never thought I'd see a screenshot from Apidya posted on this board

[Lightspeed]

Well, you've been proven wrong.

[Grimloq]

ok, with all due respect, you guys are just being stupid, the cains missile launchers shoot straight out (or it might have been the lilith) thus gameplay is unaffected

if you are going to make those 'pipes', make sure to make them non-straigt, and some of the greebling on the engines is too terran looking.

everything else looks really good, and i cant wait for another massivly over-upgraded ship to slow and crash my compy


also, i got dibs on the demon!!! (and no, the hecate is not forgotten.)

[freespace2pilot]

i agree with differences for lilith/cain.
(V) was just lazy with the lilith/cain Fenris/Leviathon models
someone needs to fix that (NOT ME - IM HOPELESS WITH TRUESPACE!) even if its just a different texture.
Question: is there any lazyness on vasuden models?

Already done... kinda:

I love it. By the way, when you remap it, please fix up the horrible mapping that V gave us on the inside of the three arms.

[Lightspeed]

The cain is the same, but does not have the "scale" on its back.

I really hope someone'll do poly upgrades for the Lilith and Cain some day.
