I've been messing around with a new scout fighter class.  It's an upgrade to the Angel design.

 

 

 

 

It's around 150 polys.  How's it look?

For 150 polys... it looks damn good. Can't wait to see you slap some textures on it - this'll be a good one to look out for. Nice job.

Hell, at 150 polys you can afford to refine the detail some. Maybe add some shape to the secondary pods on the top or some primary mounts on the outer hull. You've got plenty of polys to burn, might as well use them =)
If it aint broke, break it!

He's right. I think it needs kind of a cockpit, too...

I've done some preliminary texturing.  Still have far to go though  

   

Current poly count 276.  That should be good.

Add a little more polys to make it more detailed, and you've got a winner!

I love the design!  
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

Thanks everyone, texturing is the toughest part, especially applying UV maps.

Pretty cool ship... what's the inspiration? From that underside pic it looks like a sparrow or a swoardtail (maybe I have the wrong names for the birds I'm thinking, but it definately looks like a bird).

Is the ship going to be fast... it looks like it.

No, he's not back for real, just popping his head in to say "hello" while on break from classes.

I think the bird you're looking for is the Swallow.  

Very nice work. Texturing is a real pain indeed- except for that granite-looking texture on the bumps on the wings and the blue cockpit, it looks excellent.

Yea, I was going a really dark blue, close to black, but that was nothing doing with only 256 colors  

Speaking of which, why can't we use higher res bitmaps?

I do   High res is soo much better, and all the ships look more realistic
