well, there you go. this is the thread where you can find mod material, from fighters, to weapons, to cargo containers(!?)!

first on the to show list, is a new terran-vasudan fighter. this time with more terran influence . designation: none until POF'ed and tbl'ed.



more to come, including the long awaited beam saber 1.5 and vulcan cannon

[Unknown Target]

Long awaited by who?

[Turey]

MY EYES! THE GOGGLES, THEY DO NOTHING!!!

Honestly, this is worse than that cargo container I made!

[takashi]

meh, thats just wing's crappy openGL rendering. seriously, the ingame will look MUCH better.

[bizzybody]

It's made of hyperbolic paraboloids with a couple of jinks and jogs in the mesh. Easy to do in most 3D apps. Take any flat polygon with an even number of sides, then elevate some vertexes to make it non-flat. Hit quad divide a few times and there you have it, a 'hypar'.

You could offer a wee  bit of encouragement, y'know

Um, it is a bit undetailed, though.

[jr2]

...Get it finished, then post an in-game screenie, we'll see.
How would the SR-71 Blackbird look in wings' OGL rendering?

[karajorma]

You could offer a wee  bit of encouragement, y'know

They could. It would be a REALLY bad idea though.

[Unknown Target]

Agreed. We're trying to save HLP from him

[jr2]

...like I said, takashi, finish it, post a screenshot of it in-game, and we'll see.

Encouragement : You need to work a bit on your skills. You already have a general shape, now start adding detail to it (greebles, engines, etc)

[jr2]

Thx Raven... someone with their head on straight... (no offense, but takashi needs direction and encouragement; he's not being a troll or anything.)

[karajorma]

Takashi needs to stop passing himself off as an expert in every field and then maybe he'll listen for long enough to actually get good at something. Might also help if he stuck at something for longer than a day or two.

*skims through all of takashi's posts*

Maybe overenergetic, or maybe a bit hasty... but expert?

now im no pro....but i think i know whats going on.

See?    He just thinks he knows what's going on.  So when he doesn't, we'll help him out.  meh.  I dunno.

He has a certain track record.

[jr2]

Oh.  *pulls foot out of mouth*

[Turambar]

this is a WIP shot of my first model.

until yours looks as like its on the same level, please refrain from converting to .pof

[Raven2001]

Heck, he may have that bad record on his back (i wont even describ what I think of it, for pleasantries sake), BUT imo, that doesnt mean we should be acting totally moronic at everything he does\tries to do\whatever you wanna call it... besides, he seems to be enthusiastic on what he wants to achieve, no matter how ridiculous his ideas and actions can be.

One thing is certain: the more modders, the merrier. So from my part, Ill continue to give my honest input (be it good or bad) on what he does, try to teach and educate him on how to be a decent modder\artist, and a member of this community... ofc it will be up to him if he wants to listen or not. But ill be doing my job, flame free

[jr2]

... A-Wing?

Just because you're a freak of nature and made an awesome model for your first model, doesn't mean  everyone else can My first model consisted of a sphere with the points pulled around (but I didn't post them on forums until I got reasonably good, and even then, I didn't rave about how much people were anticipating them ).
