New HTL Ship!
on: December 27, 2006, 03:05:01 am
Well, I've been constantly seeing this ship and, irritated that it hasn't already been HTL'ed, I decided to do it myself. Arguably one of the better ships in Freespace, it's always held a special place for me, that's right, it's the HERMES. I'm dead serious.

Like? Current polycount is ~1600. All detail you see is modeled.

Very Nice.  I like seeing this kind of initiative.  I can't wait to see the texture work.

Oddly enough I also modeled this, but it was also lost in a Hard Drive crash...

You better back up all your files quickly. ;)

Anyway, looks nice. :yes:

You should post a copy of the model in case you disappear. :nervous:

uhh...yeah...well I can't map it. I'm terrible with 2d-art. So I guess I'll submit the file for anyone interested to map. All I ask is that the model creator credits go to me, and whoever textures it gets the texture creator credits. I'm also hoping it will make its way into the mv_models pack.

Here it is. I'm working on some other fighters right now so stay tuned for more. The file is in .wrl or something like it, which I think is a pretty universal format, but I can of course release it in most other common formats. Also, if anyone sees problems with the geometry, don't hesitate to say so.

You didn't happen to put a modeled interior to this, did you?  ;7

the problem seems always to have been not that there are not enough modelers, but there are not enough texture artists.

I could model the interior, I just didnt think that it was necessary. It would be REALLY easy too, with such a nice, squarish shape.

I think Axem is working on mapping it although i'm not sure.
