You will always hear from people about what should have been done after a few months down the line.

The key is to not care :)

Just make the damn thing.

Just ****ing around, really. Pilot needs to be replaced, and not so happy with the cocpit at all.

Reminds me of one of the fighters in the movie Stealth. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Re: Horus? Now with added Poll Goodness!
It would be nice if you could transition those sections in the back into each other better. They're overlapping and smooshed together right now in a way I don't like.

May I implore you to make your Vasudan pilot/cockpit map fit the same UVs as a Terran one for texture swapping? I did a rather crude one earler you can use as a template before you draw your own... remember, Vasudans have flight suits as well.

Re: Horus? Now with added Poll Goodness!
I'm not using the same cocpit model at all. It's preposterous for me to think of a terran cocpit in a vasudan ship. Reskins went away long ago.  However, for the actual pilot... if you can get me decent screengraps of the vasudan's flight suit I could try to keep it UV'd as close as possible when I make the model.

Re: Horus? Now with added Poll Goodness!
Everyone says that, and I myself thought so too, but if you look at the side it's lit on, compared to how the edges of the recessed areas are lit, it shows them bevelled in.

I think Gank pointed this out when he was doing his ultra high poly Seth.

Re: Horus? Now with added Poll Goodness!
For the sake of it being alien... something more form fitting and organic than a Terran cockpit? Vasudans have long arms so I'd start with that... lying down with outstretched arms controlling one joystick with each hand...

Re: Horus? Now with added Poll Goodness!
Sweet looking so far :yes:

Are you going for a bubble canopy or an angled approach like in the mockup pic ?

As for the interior, maybe look at the Psamptik main hall for inspiration. How's the Vasudan in the control tower thingie seated ?
