Small HTL pack release
Right, as some of you know, I've been working on a pack of four high poly ships for quite a while now. However, various things have come up during this last year of school, the most recent and important of these being our final exams - called the HSC.
So, I've realised that there's no way I'll be able to finish off the Lucifer within the next six weeks of revision and exams, and the pack itself has already been delayed way too long, so I've decided to release the three already done - the optimised Fenris, Triton and Aeolus.
I will finish & release the Lucy after the exams are over with, and then begin work on the next pack - currently slated to include an arcadia, poesidon, probably Grimloq's hecate and possibly an elysium or hatshepsut if nobody's begun one by then. :)



============ Fenris =============
Credits: Mesh by Karma, textures by [V], everything else by me.


Old&New Comparison

Ok, there are three main versions of this as follows:

1) Highest Detail, Original Colouration
=> 6574 polys, 2048x1024 res texture
Download - 3.2 megs
Download - 3.2 megs, Warpcore mirror
This one's my favorite, and since it's meant to be used for both the fenris and levvy models, it's more memory efficient than the two separate versions.

2) Medium Detail, Original Colouration
=> 5044 polys, 1024x512 res texture
Download - 1.4 megs
Download - 1.4 megs, Warpcore mirror
This is for those peeps whose machines may have a bit of trouble keeping up. Visually, there's not all that much difference, but the smaller texture set will be the main advantage in terms of performance here. :)

3) Highest Detail, Lightspeed Versions (includes both the fenris and levy)
=> Same as the highest detail version in all respects except how the textures look - Lighty coloured them differently.
Download - 6.6 megs
Download - 6.6 megs, Warpcore mirror
I'm not personally a fan of the two variants, and it uses up twice the memory, but I do know a lot of you-lot liked em. :)
===================================


============ Triton =============
Credits: Textures built using occasional pieces from Lightspeeds high res texture packs, turret meshes by Raptor, everything else by me.


Piccy 2

Old&New Comparison

Two versions as follows:

1) Highest Detail
=> 5949 polys, 2048x2048 res texture
Download - 3.9 megs
Download - 3.9 megs, Warpcore mirror

2) Medium Detail
=> 1661 polys, 1024x1024 res texture
Download - 1.2 megs
Download - 1.2 megs, Warpcore mirror
===================================



============ Aeolus =============
Credits: Original hull mesh & rotating turret mesh by Raptor, textures built using many pieces from Lightspeeds high res texture packs, big mesh modifications and everything else by me.


Piccy 2

Old&New Comparison

Two versions as follows:

1) Highest Detail
=> 6734 polys, 2048x2048 res texture
Download - 4.5 megs
Download - 4.5 megs, Warpcore mirror[/color]

2) Medium Detail
=> 4016 polys, 1024x1024 res texture
Download - 1.7 megs
Download - 1.7 megs, Warpcore mirror
===================================


As usual, let me know of any problems you encounter, and I'll fix em when I have time. :)

Post in game screeniezzz!

Many thanks to Redmanace & Inquisitor for the file mirrors. :)

Looks great. I need to try these out.

Is that the same Fenris that is in the media VPs or something else?

Thanks. :)
Same fenris model, different version - these ones have merged textures and is thus will run much faster than the old one (I really should have merged them for that first release, but meh - too late now).
They've also got better lods and debris and a number of other bug fixes.

I should probably post this as an unofficial update, but I want to get a version of Bobb's Herc with LODs first.

W00t! :D
Oh, um...could I request that for the media VPs, you change the nameplate texture to one called "Nameplate" in the Fenris and Aeolus pofs, and include a pure-green or alpha transparent texture of dimensions 420x61 in the VP's?

They have the names they currently have as demonstrations of how nameplates will look if used, so peeps can use the Fred texture replacement feature to give their ships names on a ship by ship basis if they want. The last thing we need though is for all Aeolus cruisers in future screenies to be called Advocate. ;)

Indeedy indeedy. Without it there wouldn't even _be_ a HTL Aeolus, and the turrets on the triton (ack! forgot that bit in the credits! :shaking: ) and aeolus wouldn't look as good. :)

I have to agree with Singh. You've made one of my favorite Terran ships finally look as damned sexy as it should. Great work on that Aeolus. :D :yes:
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Seconded.

For those of you who want something simple, I've compiled a new models VP with the latest stuff from the past few weeks. It includes models and textures of the following:

GTSG Mjolnir (Mikhael, Galemp, StratComm)
GTF Ares (Raa)
GTD Orion (Bobboau, Galemp, StratComm)
GTCv Deimos (Bobboau)
GVCv Sobek (Raa)
GTC Fenris (Karma, VasudanAdmiral)
GVC Aten (Galemp)
GTC Aeolus (Raptor, VasudanAdmiral)
GVG Anuket (Raa)
GTFr Triton (VasudanAdmiral, Raptor)
GTSC Faustus (Galemp)
GTF Hercules (Bobboau)
GTF Perseus (Nico)
GTF Erinyes (FireCrack)
GTF Myrmidon (f1gment, JarC, Raa)
Tsunami Bomb (Galemp)
Cyclops Bomb (Galemp)
Harbinger Bomb (Galemp)
Helios Bomb (Galemp)
Subspace models.


With special thanks to Lightspeed for all his hi-res textures that were used.

Download mv_detailmodels.rar from FilePlanet until the SCP hosts it.

Can we have an update on the HTL Lucifer and Cain?  And has anyone tried to tackle the Demon or Hades yet? I remember Stratt, TrashMan and I arguing over the Typhon, but I don't know if anyone's started it.

Once we have those down, it'll be all the FS1 capships. :)

Apparently so.

Damn... is it me or did I forget to remove the nameplates from the models?
