could we get back on topic please?

[chief1983]

Not until brand posts another WIP shot.  Until then, this thread is pretty much fair game, as there's not really anything else to talk about right now.

EDIT:


EDIT2: Hmph.  That doesn't look as good as it does in full-screen.

Did someone say nerdgasm?   



If I can't 'em it in-game [yet], at least I can play with 'em in photoshop...

Hmm.    ISD devs looky here, I think you'll find it quite helpful:

13.81 MB

If questions arise, remember that the filename is TFU_TT
And please remember that Linux is case-sensitive. 
VLC Media Player should work nicely on the larger file, if you don't have another player that supports flv format.

Better Idea: Get it here (download linky to bottom left of vid preview) in 720p HD.

Its a Mk I ISD dunno if your doing the MK II, but should be usefull

[chief1983]

He's doing both, but those pics should definitely be useful, since all of those are such iconic ships, the more detail the better.  Thanks for the tip.

Edit:  I managed to save all of those to my hard drive, I'll keep checking to see if he adds any more.  Hopefully I can package them to give to whoever needs them.

MOAR UPDATES!

[chief1983]

Brand is busy.  He should have more free time in a few weeks, hopefully he can use some of that to help out here.

Well, bit of an update.  I've been looking through my ISD file lately, trying to get back into it, and I think I've come to an unfortunate decision.

When I started this model, I hadn't touched anything 3D in almost 7 years, now looking at the file I can see my clumsyness after a few of the other models I completed.  As such, I believe it may be neccesary to restart the model.  The geometry simply has become to clumsy to efficiently finish, and when it comes time to LOD, Detail Box, or Normal map it there simply won't be any possibility of separating the neccesary parts.

It sucks to say, but it's the honest truth.

So in the next few days I'm going to restart, and trust me, now that I'm back in the swing of things and have my head screwed on straight I'll be able to make it way better than my last attempt.  Consider the original a prototype, now it's time to make it work.

Thanks for your patience with this model, I've been working on it for almost a year now and I hate to see that work to go to waste, but hey, it's not.  That's like saying that 4 years of university was a waste because you didn't make any money doing it.  This was a great learning experience.

Oh, and by the way...

[chief1983]

That's a real shame to hear, hopefully the next one is more enjoyable to work with though, which would lead to it getting done even sooner!

[brandx0]

Well, Work has officially begun on the new ISD

[brandx0]

Okay, so here we have a little WIP shot of where it's looking now.  I'm taking a different approach to detailing this time, putting it in when needed as opposed to waiting till the end.  It should speed up the process.

neat-o. keep it up.
