finally sat down and decided to do an over haul of the Vexor class Destroyer. it wasn't bad to begin with, for one of my early models, it did however need a facelift.
Before



After

I like it. It reminds me kinda of an Starlancer ship but better. Will you do a complete fleet with this design?

[--Steve-O--]

not the exact design persay but pretty much every cap ship i've done or have in the kettle all share certain design traits, as well as all the fighter save for the MiG (not my design)

[Getter Robo G]

It stuck me as a SL descendant also (I kept all the meshes - untextured)

Great job! It's looks liek it's all greebled to hell!

, it that a additional fighter bay in the bow? So it actually has 2? (hard to see in that angle)

Would you be offended if I asked to use it as a Carrier? In fact if you move the two bow guns a bit left and right or made them fixed forward cannons left and right nose that would be awesome..!

[EDIT]: Forgot to ask, WHEN WILL IT BE READY?   
 

[--Steve-O--]

actually, the CS Pukov was a huge inspiration for this bugger. SL was an awsome game.
it's getting close to completion. i still have to do the detail box renditions for both hanger bay insides and sort out and number all the turrets, plus i still have to revamp my current torpedo turret model as its old and ugly. after that i still have a few details to throw in then its off to the PCS factory for finally assembly! but yeah once its out do what every you want to or with it!

[Hellstryker]

Could you do me a HUGE favor and point me towards an in depth UV mapping and texturing tutorial?

[Flipside]

I do like your modelling technique, you have an eye for interesting shapes

Really nice work again.

[--Steve-O--]

Some updats and eye candy. first 3 shots are of the forward hanger bay. the other 2 are just for kicks, they do show a little added detail though.

[gevatter Lars]

I like the last image a lot. The ships in the back seam to have a rotating section like the B5 human destroyers is that right?

[shiv]

Just... wow!

[Kazan]

those are nice.. where are they being used?

[Alan Bolte]

I think I remember seeing the cruiser in the back used in Blue Planet's last mission, and I think some of the fighters have been used in... I can't remember.

[Flipside]

Sometimes I think Bobboau should never have released his shadow trials, I simply cannot help thinking how much self-shadowing would improve those 'indoor' images It shouldn't be too hard to make bump maps for those textures either

[Kazan]

heh... his shadow trials also ate machines for breakfast... eventually we can do shader soft shadows though

[gevatter Lars]

Wasn't it planed anyway that when shaders are done to add shadow support? I also think that ships with cockpits would benefit a lot of haveing a shadow system.
A question I would have is how to simulate it for hangars like this one or like the ones we have in saga. Something should tell the program to eather not apply shadows to the interior, what would make it uninteresting or you have to be able to set some lightsources or am I completly wrong?

Steve-O's ships haunt my dreams.

it is, that ship was built using the B5 omega destroyers as an inspiration.

for my own pet project pretty much, Blue planet put the frigates in the background to use in their mod.
other than that i've posted for D/L everything else i have completed so far for anybody to use in a mod.

and shaders....gives me tingles just thinking about it.

Query: Is this for a mod, or is this a side gig? Either way, excellent work, perhaps the start of a Starlancer section of the Wing Commander mods.
