Still To Do:
Mirrior hull to complete LOD0, turreting, LODs 1-3, Debris, POFing.

And that Aeolus you got there LS is...just...:eek2: (proves the theroy that good textures CAN make a horrible mesh look good)

Just use my textures for your model. If youre going for custom UV, they'll be usable just as well :)

He doesn't want to use the blue, though, or the plating below. IMO, he's not making a new Aeolus, but a newer ship that has a shape similar to it... :doubt:

Sounds great, good to see you're still alive and around too. ;) Btw, don't forget that you can probably use the current LOD0, LOD1, and LOD2 as your eventual LOD1, LOD2 and LOD3 respectively. :)

I might do that, since making new LODs can be pain...

Yes, I dropped out for while.  Exams plus a week at home (away from cpu) will do that:D

Some pics are posted in modding forum.

Oh, and although I loved the basic shpae of the Aeolus, I hated the maps used, and the mapped too to be fair.

Uh, okay. The screenshots aren't all that great, but anyway



More screenshots

Specific notes about the release:

- I kinda gave the ship a bottom (that isn't just a 32x32 pixel texture O.o)
- There are some lighting problems with the mesh (smoothing etc seems to be messy in some places, for example the 'ribs' on its back.). This will have to be fixed by a modeler some time.
- This would be an ideal candidate for texture baking. (and from there doing further texture improvements)
- Someone needs to reLOD the thingy, as the LODs are useless with their current mappings, etc.

That said, look at it in your tech-room - I think it came out pretty well (despite the problems mentioned above).

Enjoy :)

May I request the Aten rather than the Hat? It's potentially awesome, but somehow seems to come acroxx pretty damned ugly. I remember fiddling with the colours on one of the base tiles and making it look about 10x better, so someone spending more than 15 minutes could probably go better again.

Damn the poll... the Aten deserves it more. It's a Great War Relic.   Damn everyone who voted FS2 capships. They suck, and are uninspired anyway!

awww, but i was waiting for the Hat so i could start the campaign over again and not have to look at that semi-reflective beige clump called the Psamtik

oh well, Atens deserve it too, I'll wait

Now that really looks like one badass cruiser.



EDIT: Now that I look at the rest of the thread, I intend that to go for the Rakshasa and the Mentu.

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
