Not to mention a FREDder!

I love it...the second and third ones look like they're straight out of a Japanese anime series.

And seeing those ships again brings a tear to my eye...

Yeah, time clash! Seeing these epees and these wasp (my fav ship, apart from the highly unbalanced black lance dragon...) together, that's weird but cool, in fact  
Now I'd like to see some crowsbows and, yea, the plumkett!!!

I've never played a WC game (bar the one where you're fighting off some phantom ships), but those renders looks nice. I like the 2nd one especially.  

[Kazan]

The Concordia class ships have a cheese texture but the design is circa 1992

Yep...back from when 256 colors was high tech. They didn't even have 3d models back then.

Think again, they obviously had 3d models back then - for movie rendering and obivously for the game.  Those ships where not 2d models

Yep, the ingame ships were witmap renders from 3D models

[Sushi]

Actaully, I'm not convinced they were...I'm pretty sure it was all hand-drawn art.

They were actually renders, I have an ad from a magazine where you see that ship, the concordia class I think, and it's obvious that they used a planar UV mapping from the top ( stretched maps on the sides of the ship :þ)

[IceFire]

They were definately done with 3D models, they weren't hand drawn.

I remember the Privateer (1) manual used 3d renders of the models in the dying days of 2d sprites - presumably the ones they used for the sprites.  I wish someone would model the old Taurus (?) transport from that game   .

Or the Centurion.

[Nico]

The centurion? quite easy. I want to see the WC2 crossbow bomber...

I always liked WC, the big prob with that game is that it did'nt have FRED and Mods  

How is the progress of the project going?
