Did you properly smooth it?

*EDIT - you see, this is why I'm all in favor of the non-cannon ship database..so that people don't have to beg and ask around for ships for their mods! All info and links in one place...get to it people..fill it up!

Would this be the database in the ref project?

The Wiki one.

Did you properly smooth it?

Not yet.
Trying a smooth quad devide  wrecks the mode l completely..

I was thinking either manually adding  a few more lines to it (drawing vertex on both sides of the ship will be a bi***) or smiply using the smooting PCS build (alltough that won't do much).

This is what I got so far (not much, but I am working on several models ATM)


Will prolly end up just adding some good looking turrets on it and calling it a day...

Also for this model, could you keep the textures down to a minimum on this model? Having too many textures causes HTL slowdown.

Nice....How many polys?

[Snail]

By a minimum I mean less than maybe five or six (might be hard but please do it).

Are the engines modelled in? They look trick, plus I like that green engine glow. I find them much better-looking compared to those flat whitey textures on the Hybrid's engines.

Rest of the model, well the colours make it look really off to me, but live and let be.

Props.

Polycount? 1477 polys. Engines are modeled in, has some indents and recesses that you can't see very well wihout good lightning

Textures? The same as the stock Tanen +3 (green engines, bluish windows and yellowish strips), alltough I'm looking at reducing this...

[asyikarea51]

Well IMO those grey/white stripe thingies that "encase" the side turrets don't go with the two brownish colours (which in turn makes the ship look old and dated for some reason or another). Your hybrid destroyer release definitely has the better colouring to me.

Or maybe I haven't seen the original Tanen in a long time and this is the first time I'm actually looking at "it" (not the exact same model, but you get the idea) up close. I understand that this stuff isn't all that easy though, so I can ignore rather than complain about the little details.



EDIT: Spelling mistakes fixed...??? Wasn't even 8am when I typed the original post, and here I am, lacking sleep.

You mean the gey-white light strips?

I could replace them all with yellow lights like on the back..that would reduce the textue count by 1 to boot....

[Snail]

No I like the gay white light strips. (seriously, I do)

Please use stock only textures for this, it's not that hard and it would make it easy to install. Just replace the white ones with the Hatshepsut tile (CapVTile3a), but use some smart mapping to make it display only the light strips and not the weird wires that are next to it.

Also please make the fighterbay texture all one texture, that should knock off a few, I think.

[TrashMan]

Just replace the white ones with the Hatshepsut tile (CapVTile3a)

What white one?

[Snail]

Well actually I don't really like that 'VWindYellowStrip' or whatever it was called. It looks a bit too Terran.

Oi! Trashman! Check back on yer PCS2 bugs! http://ferrium.org/mantis/view.php?id=26

In fact it's best to click the 'monitor issue' button which emails you whenever there's an update.

VWindYellowStrip is good for texturing engines (just don't use the yellow part of it) and indents (looks good wether you use the half with the lights or the yellow part)... I used it all ovet the model..

I suppose I could replace it with some other stock texture, just have to see if anyone of them looks good enough in it's place..

Did I ever release the Pharaoh?  It was a specifically-designed Vasudan carrier in more of the Hatshepsut style.  Let me see if I can dig up a link...

Can't find a download link for the current version though.  Might want to work on that.

[Snail]

Interesting concept but kind of lacking (NO OFFENSE DO NOT EAT ME)

No, it was never released.

[StratComm]

Ah, I remember why.  I never got a good set of Vasudan turrets built.  So project.

Here's a different angle too, for those who don't remember it.
