If you were to modernize the Loki...
The cockpit and the nose detailing are good, but the other details are so small that they won't be apparent in-game unless you disable one of this Lokis and start inspecting the model intentionally lookng for details.

- The recessed part under the cockpit needs to be a bit deeper.
- the light grey part (on the wing) is recessed compared to the dark grey one (see textures and my sketch)
- Make the cockpit rounded.
- Add more detailZZZ!

But yes, a very good start so far. :nod:

Ehh. I'll probably end up deleting this one. Like the Anubis I worked on...


And I'm still taking suggestions for what people think the logical successor to the Loki would look like.

Don't drop it. It's headed the right way. :)

I'm working on an upgraded version, too at the same time, and I have a few vague ideas of where I'd like to go with it. Here's where it's at now. I reverted back to how I had it because I couldn't flesh out an idea I had. (Sometimes I wish I was working with Clay, instead...:sigh: )

As you can see, there's hardly anything of definition, but it does resemble the loki atleast a little bit.

Yes. Yes it does. The entire front is exactly the same as the front of the Loki, just it's been meshsmoothed. Don't believe me? Go see for yourself.

People who post in colours are annoying. Or rather, their posts are. Especially if it's "tomato". Heck, if we had "vasudan" or "shivan", it'd be a lot more profitable. But all we have is a lousy collection of standard colours. Bah.

This colour is pretty gay, I think I'll use this from now on. Fabulous!

And Raa, that's just too... well, non-Loki. Even though the nose does bear close resemblance to Loki's nose section, the rest of it is just too Vas.
lol wtf

Maybe show us a more detailed model?

You've got to be ****ing kidding me. IT'S THE LOKI'S FRONT END WITH A MESHSMOOTH!  That's all it is... does anyone even read anymore?!

The rest of it is a main fusalage that hasn't had anything added to it yet. Mein gott...

If I can make something different from what I made for TVWP out of it, then we'll see. ;)

Using your mesh-smoothed Loki, I would have suggested accessorising it, using the Herc2 to draw inspiration from.

Ich is not capitalized, unless it's at the start of a sentence. And the right form of "wissen" would be "weiß" in that case. But "to know a language" cannot be translated literally, it's "eine Sprache sprechen" instead (i.e. to speak a language). Uhm, and that last part doesn't make too much sense either.

German really sucks though, don't waste your time on it. Learn something useful such as spanish. (0wnage!)
