Send that over to the Upgrade Project.  Maybe they can turn it into a subspace or explosion effect.  That would look reeeeeaaaal sexy in game...   

i'll try to make it as an effect myself, for personal use if Pyro doesnt mind? I'll make it publicly availible too if anyone wants

[Pyro MX]

No, I don't mind. But if it's ever released to the public a little mention would be nice.

no prob mate, also congrats on getting on the TAP team

looking forward to working with you

Thx! I think it will be a really nice experience!

Here, front view updated.


New canons on the front and new turret guns. The bottom section has now its own wings and trusters so it can fly by itself for a short moment when dropped. Added the holding claws too.

that's my new desktop.

Could you make an explosion effect and a subspace effect?  I think it would make a good "special" explosion.  For example, a unique ship (Sath, for instance) explodes, that would be the explosion effect, rather than the regular one.

[Pyro MX]

Updated the perspective and front views (press refresh it you still see the old ones) and added a ventral view. I changed the materials and started smotthing the ship.

Here's how the original XCF looks like (but it's scaled down)

Is there a higher-res version?  I'd like to use it for my desktop, otherwise I user the other one 

[Pyro MX]

Yes, there is.
Right click'n save

Tell me when you get I'll remove it because it's heavy.

[Jeryko]

Got it, thank you ! 

[Pyro MX]

Np!

And uhh... how's the model now? 

[pecenipicek]

hm, well, the model is improving, but it still... well, the basic shape is still too basic, no matter what you add to the ship, what thingadoodles, its still going to be screaming basic, so you might do something to... well, smooth the ship a wee bit or streamline it...

[Tyrian]

I would maybe change the cockpit to something other than purple and make it more translucent.  Maybe consider rounding off those sharp edges, especially on the area near the cockpit and the leading and trailing edges on the wings.  They make the ship look too geometric.

However, that glow effect in the background is god-like.  I just drool looking at it.  I still think it should be made into an explosion or subspace effect.  Maybe both.

*Goes on for pages about the background*

[Pyro MX]

Changed a bit the cockpit, tryed to streamline the ship, add a couple of details and make a quick background to show the ship. And I will change that purple later 0 I try to make the reflections work ok with the material. Enjoy!

[Dark Hunter]

Hummingbird class..

[Pyro MX]

Heh sounds better than Canari class eh  ! Here... take a look a the ship, without its cargo!

[Tyrian]

That looks cool.  Maybe add a couple of turrets to the underside.  That way it could be a dropship or a gunship.

[Pyro MX]

Here are the most recent shots. Still tweaked the design a bit!

[pecenipicek]

mmmm, nice, now you're gettin somewhere

[Pyro MX]

Complete makeover! Still lots of work to do on the bottom/cargo part, which isn't done yet, and details to add. But oh well, I hope that you like the refit!
