I came.

some people really creep me out on these forums....


 

Yeah couldnt agree more

Crikey, thanks all.

So no bugs thus far? If so, that just has to be a first for me.

Please, before you start another model, could you make an animated glow for your Lucifer? (I also posted it here).

I'm going to have to hesitantly say no at this stage sorry. Firstly it's a 2048 res map that suffers greatly at lower res, and even at 1024 you're talking a massive memory footprint for such a simple effect.
Also, it doesn't look like support for fancy texture effects is all that far from being implemented or at least implementable at the modder level in FSO.
And finally it's a heck of a lot of work which would require skill I probably don't have to do well and time I definitely don't have ATM.

could you do a new (better) HTL myrmidon oder HTL ulysses next plz? ^^

Heh, unlikely on 'HTLing' the HTL Myrm, but it's a 'possibly' on the Uly - maybe sometime in the post Arcadia, Poesidon, Valkyrie, Athena and Centuar future if it's still not underway. I think it's been started at least twice before though.

Awesome work I really, really like your greebling style (and am copying it shamelessly )

Oooh really? Awesome. Any aspect in particular?

Well, I'm talking about the way you go completely nuts with greebling, but keep the individual greeblie parts very simple (mostly box-like), which keeps the overall polycount within reasonable limits. Your pirate base thing is a prime example of what I mean.

Also, you seem to pay attention to keep the "greebling-resolution" roughly the same over the whole model, which should be the goal for every high-poly model. Sadly, there are quite often models with high polycount, which have very detailed parts and big flat parts side by side (which doesn't look good IMHO).

Ok, enough brown-nosing for today

[Grizzly]

VA, excellent work, first of all, you made the cockpit look good . Second of all, it looks very nice and black..

and go for the valkeyri

[killface]

DROOOOOOOL

[Cobra]

Oh em eff gee, someone finally finished it.

That thing looks awesome, VA. Awesome work as always.

Now do the Ulysses

[Snail]

What about the Athena? One of my favorite bombers in FS1.

(the only bomber I really liked because it was in the FS1 OEM pack which I played through about six times)

[Cobra]

The Athena was finished, dude. By either Trashman or Turambar.

[takashi]

nebuala trails are a bit off with the model. thats all.

[Turambar]

wasnt me, ive only been modelling for a short time now

[Vretsu]

Awesome model. This better be going into the next vp release.

[Cobra]

Your mom will be available.

Looks purty. At ambience 0 and looking at the dark side of the fighter it really does look like a stealth fighter.

 Did he use the stock Loki for LOD01?

[takashi]

i think doing that is kinda standard.

and no_emissive_light + amient_factor_0 is the defaults [v] would probably use if they had 256mb gfx cards. but they didnt. so retail had no lighting.

[neoterran]

ah, nice.

[redsniper]

Loki looks pwnsome, very, very nice.
Now... do the Valkyrie ASAP!

EDIT: Oh snap! 8) doesn't change to sunglasses anymore.

[Snail]

The Athena was finished, dude. By either Trashman or Turambar.

It was Trashy. And no offense to him, but that model wasn't too hot.

[Tinman]

Great model.  Works with FS2_Open for MacOS X without a problem

[Vasudan Admiral]

nebuala trails are a bit off with the model. thats all.

Those are defined in the table file, which I didn't want to touch.
Would be nice if it could be fixed sometime though.

Did he use the stock Loki for LOD01?

...Sorta. It's the original loki, but remapped it to use the new textures so it should look better than the stock one.

As for what is next on the list - finishing the Valkyrie is indeed next:



I'll be redrawing the textures again though, so don't expect it any time soon.

Well, I'm talking about the way you go completely nuts with greebling, but keep the individual greeblie parts very simple (mostly box-like), which keeps the overall polycount within reasonable limits. Your pirate base thing is a prime example of what I mean.

hehe, thanks, but the pirate base thing isn't really a good example of keeping polycount within reasonable limits to be honest. (It does suit the 'completely nuts' part quite well though)

[Mongoose]

That Loki is already pure sex, but...I think I will love you until the end of time when you release the Valkyrie.

In a purely platonic and non-stalker-ish way, of course.

[Snail]

What pirate base?
