Whats better for a new ship?
Ok, I had a talk with one of the HC (Hades Combined) guys. I asked him if he could make new ships for me. He asked me the following

Would you consider me making a new model by retexturing an exsisting model, or a completely new model.

I think everybody thought the same...

I said new model. He finished the model and told me to texture it myself. It turned out to be ok, but it took me quite a while.

So, my fellow HLP members, whats your answer?

Would it be:
1. You get a ship that is retextured?
2. A completly new model, but plain old gray?
 :confused:
(Should have put this in a poll but whatever)

Re: Whats better for a new ship?
You should make the ship yourself.  :P


Anyways, I'd rather get a new model, and not a re-textured one. I don't know why.

What about new model with new textures ?

New model. It can be textured later.

Re: Whats better for a new ship?
I can probably go either way depending on the situation.

There's no reason you have to be the specific person texturing it.

Just try to texture some of the things you think will be good for your model and then the other next...

Re: Whats better for a new ship?
Perhaps I meant

'All in favor of new model say Aye.'

Aye.

But if its not textured using blip.pof would be better.

How about a pic of this model? If it strkes someone's fancy, they might offer to at least UV map it.
