Oh! You were talking about the Myrmidon... my bad lol, thought you were talking about some other ship.
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

Ah.... yehhhh

Oh 1000th view (by me!). Um, could we actually SEE any of the cockpit beyonda piece of glass-like material? I somehow doubt we will be able to....

In combat you'd never even see the pilot, really. Its so small. And there's the motion. So being accurate, to me, is a waste of detail.

yah. judging from your wonderful picture it seems plenty accurate. though i might change the tint of the glass to clear. As people deciding to play in cockpit view is becoming more common.   If any changes are made to this cockpit it should be done baring that in mind as that is the main reason for the new cockpits.

The glass is changeable by anyone with PCS. Or even modelview. But I havent the time to convert this at the moment, nor change the glass color.

  • A one hit wonder, you still want to touch this.
HTL is Hardware Transform and Lighting, a hardware level EFFECT that is taken advantage of in coding the GAME. (...) It is ignorant, even stupid, to keep calling these models HTL models.
It's quite funny that you call people ignorant, yet at the same time you say that HTL is an "effect" of some sort.
Actually there's plenty of times where the models that have cockpits with pilots during gameplay i do tend to notice very good. The models with cockpits and pilots are very cinematicky and awesome. And really make the game sweet when you play on a huge HD tv and you get to see fighters with cockpits and **** fly by you.
My point is i do take notice of the cockpits in game and it is a cool enhancement to the game, and it looks ****ing amazing on an HD tv that's really big.

Also, ok, now i understand why the hipoly models are called htl. But like i said for the htl models, when i first found the fso, it was confusing because i didn't know if i had the hardware transform and lighting build of the scp. Anyway, that confusion ended when i finally found where in the builds whether it was htl or not.
Besides hardware transform and lighting? What's so hard to figure out for that? Hardware (it's hardware accelerated) transform (i don't know what that stands for) and lighting (oooooh it's lighting). Yay so hardware transform and lighting seems to put out that it's hadware accelerated lighting.
I'm probably just recycling some words here, i don't see why you couldn't refer to htl as an effect or not. Before HTL there was TL which obviously was probably considered an effect and obviously not hardware accelerated (since lack of the H).
The glass on the cockpit of the of this myrmidon cockpit is a cool color, but i really don't see too much of a problem with the color of glass since there's models like ares and erinyes that have gold (obviously to depict gold shielding) color.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

I goofed when I said effect. It's actually renderers. Game engines take advantage of such renderers, but models are just there. Can we make more complex models with more polygons than before with Hardware based Transform and Lighting rendering? Yes. That still doesn't make the model an HTL model.

Well, when you make your next HTL ship, you can call it a HP ship instead then. Happy? :p

Aldo - is old Bob up for download anywhere? I'd love to have a closer look and whack him into any future Vasudan fighters. That would be brilliant. :nod:

Yeah it looks pretty cool, i can't believe no-one ever did anything with that. Maybe it doesn't look so good in game ?

Is "bob" the zod model I seem to have gotten somehow? I dont know where I got it from, but it looks too much like a vasudan for it to have been modelled by me. My memory isnt that great at times.

Also, the mesh needs to be mapped with Vasudan parts... which is probably why its not really been touched.

'tard. Its a pilot mesh for a vasudan cocpit. What do you think the terran model looks like outside of the cocpit without textures? :rolleyes:

I know, and the terran mesh looks fugly with textures too. :P On most models, the eyes are looking off to the left for some reason.

Though it IS damn hard to model a biped...

I kinda like the vasudan fighters without cockpits.  Their black, smooth, and often rounded canopies makes them feel more alien IMO.
