Yup you guessed it... another wc model LOL

Using this design art for Privateer 3


still working on texturing.

to me it screams WC 2Dralthi... (the wings, the central cockpit, the two side hulls and the two wings)

[Nuke]

there was a privateer 3?

good work though

[Scooby_Doo]

Thanks, I still need to do detail touch up work on it.

Nope, there was several artist renderings for P3 but the game alone with Private Online (or was that wing commander online) never made it.

[Nuke]

i guess thats where freespace's iron grip on space sims clinched, rendering anything else obsolete

[Scooby_Doo]

....or killed off space sims  *ducks and runs* 

[Nuke]

its true, it killed them cause of the fact noone could do better. least till the scp came along.  who would buy a space sim unless it could beat the scp?

[Scooby_Doo]

course plus the fact, things like joysticks are no longer the norm.

[Colonol Dekker]

*gets down on knees and looks up at the sky*

<overly dramatic> WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?  Oh whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, SPACE-SIMS COME BACK!!!   I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!<overly dramatic>





I miss Wing commander 3/4 and starlancer etc, dammit...........

Bad Scooby!

Freespace 2 didn't kill off Space Sims, no matter how much certain elements would love to believe, even software developers admitted it was almost impossible to compete with Franchises such as Star Wars, it was that and the slow demise of Joystick compatible games that contributed far more to the demise than the pre-release claims of Volition. There's hardly a game out there that doesn't oversell itself pre-release, so why should one incident of it be blamed for the death of an entire genre? Just look at the NFL games and their pre-release screenshots for evidence, they didn't kill off the Sports games genre by releasing them

[Scooby_Doo]

I think it's more Doom-clones killed off space sims...Easy to produce, needs no joystick, easy to play (not real thought involved just twitch reaction), storyline, who needs a storyline?

[Flipside]

Yeah, good point, the rise of the FPS probably played a massive role in it too, I'm actually hoping we will soon be seeing an end to the 'rinse-repeat' method of FPS games, the genre really is starting to stagger now.

[Scooby_Doo]

Not sure if i'm more remmenissing or what but I'd like to see some of those kings quest/space quest/whats her name style games.

And the rise of Online Play. Theres a new MMO that comes out every month.

[Scooby_Doo]

grrrr, pcs doesn't want to convert it, just freezes up.

[WeatherOp]

Those top spikes do not fit in at all, it really messes up the look of the model, and really look pasted on. Pull them off and you have a good lookin ship.

[WMCoolmon]

Very, very nice. I don't mind the spikes either, at least from this angle.

It does lack that realistic look, though. Maybe add more greebles, and make the sharp polygonal edges more complex.

[Alan Bolte]

Roomiest cockpit I've ever seen.

[Getter Robo G]

Second that, how about shrinking ship or enlarging pilot?

[Scooby_Doo]

Three variants, added shadows:

[Scooby_Doo]

Which one do you like better and any other suggestions before I convert?
