HTL Hussar:
Won't be released with the demo, but we'll have all our ships HTLed in the full release 

Only 1500 polys, but still better than 200 somthing...

[Stormkeeper]

Do you know what. The Hussar, now that I've been replaying the HW2 campaign, looks amazingly like the Keeper Drones.

[Hellstryker]

Yes, this mod will have some very homeworld esque influence when it comes to models, which is a good thing in my opinion 

[BengalTiger]

You screwed the windshield...
and the missile bays


Please report to my subforum.

[Hellstryker]

The windshield was on purpose, but I screwed the missle bays? 

[Stormkeeper]

Bengal's gonna whip you nao!

[Hellstryker]

Bengal's gonna whip you nao!

More likely praise me, and if he whips me I can always refuse to model 

[Stormkeeper]

Btw, do you use blender for modelling or 3ds max or truespace?

[BengalTiger]

The windshield was on purpose, but I screwed the missle bays? 

Well ya did. The missiles have a diameter of 0.3-0.75+ meters, so the ship needs 2 big launch tubes per side (giving 4 secondary fire points), instead of a Mosquito net 
I like the guns though, and the tail detail.

Also- the windshield is unproportionally huge compared to the rest of the ship, and it's slightly on the wrong polygons...

And one more thing: Next time post the models on the FSMods subforum first.

PS: How's the SCv you're building doing? (post reply on FSMods)[color]

[BengalTiger]

Alright, back to topic:


This is the hull of the T-MCv Himeji:


And this is the hull of both Destroyer Escorts (they'll have different weapons and therefore use different turret models):


Both models are WIP, the Himeji isn't completely textured (using Deimos textures untill it get's it's own created), and the De hull is having proper T-M textures created right now (it's using the base texture on the hull for now), but this should give you ladies and gentlemen a picture of how this stuff will look like. Stay tuned.

And special thanks for Warp Shadow for the Destroyer Escort, and blowfish for the Himeji.

Btw, do you use blender for modelling or 3ds max or truespace?

I use sketchup, as does blowfish, and bengal uses true****... He really should get 3ds max, but then again, i'd be a bit of a hypocrite to say that 

[Hades]

Why are you using Terran textures for them? Shouldn't they use textures like their fighters and bombers?

They're just placeholder textures.  They will get real textures at some point.

Should I write it three times?

[Droid803]

The Himeji looks really Terran right now (As do the DE's)

[BengalTiger]

Don't worry, the ships will be made of brushed metal, and have some orange glowing stripes on them. They'll look a bit Terran, maybe a bit Shivan, and a lot cool.

[Droid803]

Orange glowy stripes? Nais.

just to let everyone know, we now have a wiki page.
those curious as to which direction the mod is heading can see the links there, or just look at the chapter descriptions.

p.s. chapter 1 description MIGHT be uploaded soon.

EDIT: whoops, forgot the link:
wiki page

[colecampbell666]

I made a few edits on some stuff that stuck out, hope you don't mind.

[Titan]
