I've been posting the WIPs over at Infinity, but I figured you guys might want to see it; basically this is the finished model, minus pilot:

Very cool.

[Charismatic]

sweet man. gj.

[ilya]

That is sweet!

What program did you use? 3dsmax? Maya?

Thanks guys And I used Sketchup, Ilya. Google just bought it up and released the basic version for free (the pro allows commercial use and some other things IIRC). Link: http://www.sketchup.com/

By the way, Ilya, sig images are not allowed (when we get back to our default settings, they'll be removed). Just giving you a heads up

[Descenter]

The only problem with the free version of SketchUp I have found do far is that you can't convert the model files.....unless someone knows where I can get a converter somewhere...

BTW, ships looks better from the original picture I have saw last week

[Tyrian]

I like the model.    
Can't wait to see it textured...

One question though:  If it's supposed to be a jet, I can't see any fan blades inside the engines.  Or is it just the angle?

I would imagine they would be drawn in the texture (because it's really uneccessary to model that sort of fine-level detail).

[Grug]

Nice.

Where's the cup holder?

[Grey Wolf]

Despite being very different in design, it reminds me of Spike's ship from Cowboy Bebop:

[Sarafan]

Yes, I know thread necromancy is bad but I really wanted to know to know what happened to this fighter model. Does anyone know if there is a finished model to this?

[Unknown Target]

Well there's the model, but no texture. If someone wants to texture it, I'm all for it

[Sarafan]

Well, I was really waiting to fly it, it's one of the coolest that I've seen. Is there no one who can texture it?

[Paragon]

We have...a distinct lack of texture artists over at Infinity...so it will take awhile.  If you know how to texture though....lets just say IA updates the newest prototype release daily.

[Unknown Target]

I already submitted this model to you for use in Infinity, but when it was sent back telling me i needed to put in hardpoints and the like, I replied saying I didn't know how and needed direction on where to find it, but never got a reply.
I can texture but it takes me weeks for a single small model.

[FireCrack]

Nice, butt he landing gear kinda interferes with the engines.... just me being nitpicky though....

[Paragon]

That reminds me, we've canned the original way we planned hardpoints for ships.  You could probably just submit it as-is now.  Originally, hardpoints were simply small cylinders on the ship's hull where a weapon could be placed.  Now, we've adopted a "dynamic hardpoint" system, which instead will allow the player to put weapons anwhere on the ship they can find room.
