probably best to give one of each(cob and pof) as we don't know how the textures will turn out for each...jpeg will work for the texture format, had to check and see what SCP can handle as i didn't know what it supports.  I gotta say tho...scp is freaking awesome.  And the new renders look awesome as well.

Now with a simple shield mesh:



To Do: battle damage, glows

that's because i've been off work for the last 2 days, but it helps that i can take my laptop with me and work on this wherever i go (except work, i work in the food service industry). I have to leave for work in about 9 hours so i'm off to bed for the night (0109 GMT +1, Germany) around 1pm (whatever timezone you're in) i should be back and be working on the next update which will likely be battle damage. I'm looking forward to seeing what other kinds of models you'll produce.

here is the next fighter, its a heavy fighter.  I'll have an anti capship version out shortly.

ok, im home from work, this new model looks like it'll be fun to texture, once again, any specific scheme you want?

[skygunner58203]

More of a Terran Military scheme.  Its kinda based on the GTF Hercules fighter.  Its in the opening cutscene for FS2...the one that gets shot down by the shivan fighter.  BTW, how goes the battle damage and glows?

[Twaysan]

battle damage is going, not ready for an update yet, I'm cheating a little on adding the new texture (instead of adding a new one, i'm using the existing filename so it auto loads the new texture, but im backing up the textures as i go) I'm currently doing a basic texture for this heavy fighter, i was gonna go with a gun metal gray base and the vertical wings red, but it may look to shivan. Updates on battle damage to come within a couple hours, glows in *looks at watch* however long it takes to figure out proper glows.

[skygunner58203]

LOL, hey its better than what i can do.  I'll have another model or two done soon.  One is a variant of the heavy fighter, the other is my rendition of a "Tech-Wing" fighter (see picture)

battle damage update within about 20 minutes, main fuselage damage is almost where i want it, wings and engines to follow shortly

[Twaysan]

Battle damage WIP

[Twaysan]

Battle damage WIP 2



Status: Damage 75%, Glows 0% (still figuring these out)

[Twaysan]

Final damage model... maybe

[skygunner58203]

Looks good to me.  I can see the shivans now..."RUN FOR YOUR LIVES...DEMON!!!!!"  sorry...been playing too much halo

[Twaysan]

I've started work on texturing the heavy fighter, base color looks very shivan, maybe a little too dark...

[skygunner58203]

Just a bit.  Looks like a stealth version...or shivan.  Probably should go lighter else none of us will see it.

[Twaysan]

lighter version, red wings are a placeholder texture until i get around to something better

[Twaysan]

i forgot to re add something to the other fighter's texture... here it is, maybe bigger than necessary, but it's there again

[skygunner58203]

I like, I like.  for the final tho, make the lettering about half that size.  anyway, on the Tech-wing, i have just finished modeling the cockpit area back to where it meets the main body.

Also to anyone else who reads this....i have a turret question for a mod i'm working on now.  The barrels stick straight up in modelview and pcs2.  How do i get them to lie down like them should?

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Twaysan]

now with smaller lettering



as for the heavy fighter, those screens will be updated less often as i want it to be a surprise. What i will say, is that there are likely going to be multiple paint jobs by the time i'm done
