Looking very sweet...

BTW would you mind posting a pic of a closeup around the area enclosed in the yellow stripes?  Those bolt somehow interest me.

Re: Hi Poly fighter ship, errr.. not sure what it does....
Sure :)



That's closer than you'll ever get in game (unless you are Alpha 1's wingman, whereby it is your favourite position to be in), so you get a pretty good look at how the pixels were arranged. Basically, for bolts, I don't use anti-aliasing, for rivets, which are more rounded, I do. I'm trying to fit this all on a 1024 x 1024 texture, so every pixel counts when you get down to small details :)

And the ftp site goes down 5 minutes later... Hopefully it'll be back in a minute...

Re: Hi Poly fighter ship, errr.. not sure what it does....
oookay... could you explain in short, how do you make textures?

i have no idea how to make them resemble anything proper and... well... need help.

could you explain the way you make your textures simply as possible?

Download anytime soon?
Looking forward to this.  It's a great model.  One suggestion though; go with a different color instead of that bright blue.  I think a red or an orange will look a lot "tougher."  I guess it's up to you.

Well, to be honest, the blue is partly bought on by the renderer, it's designed primarily as an atmosphere renderer, kind of like Bryce, and I think I forgot to change the sky colour from blue, which will have that effect. The actual texture is more grey than that, but I can turn the saturation down as needed. The grey part is the 'undercoat', I'll add more colour later once the base-coat is finished :)

As for a release date, unfortunately, it'll be a couple of weeks yet, I'm all tied up with Uni work till early January, got 3 projects due on the 4th, but I'll try to get a release as soon after that as possible. :D

Edit: I've also got to remodel those side-bays into missile launchers, though that shouldn't be too difficult.
