I've been a busy little bee....


Presenting the Retribution Asault Frigate!



The Pretorian Gunboat!


The New and improved Columbus class colony Ship!


And the most recent update on the Whitehall!

[MatthewPapa]

Wow, thats badass

[Roanoke]

It's weird. Most of the people I know would rather be able to do Fighter type maps than use tiling and here you are using tiles when you're mapping skills are much better.

[TrashMan]

This one is not actually mine, but it was given to me by someone (got the name written in a faile somewhere...got to find it) to finish it for him.

It's a bit low poly, but nothing I can fix (once I sit and actually finish those 2-3 starbases I have waiting)

@Roanoke - fighter maps and ship plates are not the same.
If you're refering to the gunboat, than know that it's 150m long. It's not a bomber, but a small escort warship.

[Rictor]

To be perfectly honest, I'm not digging them. The first one, aside from the model which isn't all that great, suffers from extreme texture-tile problems. The second and third one are kind of basic and low poly, not really exciting to look at. And the last one, though rather nice, is also very tiled (I know, I know, the Orion textures aren't really the best, but nevertheless.)

I really like most of your stuff, but I've got to tell you when I like it and when I don't, and this time I don't.

[Noise]

I like them...

[SadisticSid]

Whitehall eh? Still doesn't look big enough to fit in all those bloody bureaucrats

the first one needs a bit darker texture. Other than that, they are not overtiles, the pic is just a bit bad.

The second one is a guinboat - you're going to ahev a lot of those ina a mission, and that model is still without turrets.

the third one is a large colony ship. Texturing isn't that great, and neither is the detail (10966 polys), but that ship is not htat important either.

The last one, the whitehall, is huge. I can have the feeling of size without wither increasing the polycount substantialy, or tiling textures. Now I reduced the tecture tiling as much as I could. When you fly in closer, you will see that I actualyl should have tiled more.
anyway, it's far less tiled than most other stations out there...

[Night Hammer]

the first one looks kinda star warsish, i love the 2nd one, need some in gmae piccys though, and same with the colony ship, and where can i get whitehall?

[Knight Templar]

Praetorian.

And seeing as there is no link to downloads, I'll not consider it a gift to the people and thus I shall criticize them.

Honestly, I've seen better from you, like those ships I saw that one time. You know. And that station looks lost in itself. Especially with the Orion textures with an Orion in it.

[Grimloq]

the design is fantastic. but make it able to hold a hecate in there. otherwise itll look like a tumor or soemthing

[c914]

i like those two:
Pretorian nice model mayby you should do some costum texsture for it and station..city in space:nod:

You mis-understand. When I post "Fighter maps" I mean when you unwrap the model (or parts) and paint in a graphics package. Why you use only tiles when you could use the unwrap method is what I don't understand.

I remember making that; I'd advise you restart it from scratch if you want to do a decent job, because I made it back when I was still learning max & it's almost certainly a very messy model as a result.  Certainly the UV-mapping will need fixed......I actually uv-ed the 3ds file in TS, which was just stupid.

[TrashMan]

The Whitehall can hold a Hecate with ease... the dock only looks a bit small coause the Orion is leaving - it's not fuly inside. And it's not fully textured yet either...most of hte bluish orion panells will go away...

As for the Gunboat - it's not a fighter, so I'll not waste my time making maps for it. I'm on a very tight schedule as it is...

Oh yeah - Presenting the GVI Abthys


Has two lods, fully turreted nad has subsystems. Needs only two more LOD's and debris. and paths of course...

That one was totaly messd up, since I did it in 3DMax originally. It had tons of geometry errors. I spent hours removing and adding polygons/vertex/edges by hand...


and yes..the Retribution..
I don't get it.. the cannon barrels won't rotate alltough I set them up exactly as I did radar dishes on my other ships (which worked).
Allso, the Assault Cannon does 500 damage and has a fire rate of 0.2, but in-game, it hardly fires..even tough I set the weapon AI to general, it barely uses the weapon!

Does that Sath have an extra arm?

[c914]

i was thinking same but look closer 5th arm is olny aft top engen

[TrashMan]

Well, those pics weren't exactly good..you could only see a part of the station...



And the Pretorian is finished:

Aremed with 6 Subach Hl-7 lasers, 2 flak guns and 2 cyclops launchers. 5000 hull, 8000 shields, max speed 50. Has a cruiser flag, so capships can shoot at it with beams.
Excellent support unit and convoy escort ship tough...

[Kie99]

That Shivan ship looks like you could break an arm off by crashing into it with a fighter!  It looks like a big insect.  The other models are good though.

Release?
