Yes, the Arcadia is quite hideous in its current state.  I hope it gets HTL'ed soon.

The presemt texture is crappy. The good ol' was better.

[Lucika]

It seriously needs HTL-ing.

[blowfish]

The new textures are fine.  But good textures can only go so far on such an atrocious model...

[ssmit132]

I don't think the old Arcadia model is atrocious, just that it looks dated compared with all the HT'L stuff.

[eliex]

Totally agreed.

[Narvi]

The Arcadia is one of my favourite models, with all the numbers and the docking points. All the hate here makes me sad.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Numbers are textures.

Docking ports are POF special points.

We're discussing the model. And, quite honestly, it is dated. Very much so. I especially hate the top 'spike' that twists around like a corkscrew...horrible...

And @Galemp, the new Arcadia maps are your babies aren't they?  Have you considered overlaying the old maps on top of the new ones to get that extra 'hint' of detail? Overlaying old maps has helped me a lot on the Zephyrus...

I like the current texture of the existing Arcadia. However, the model itself does not leave a lot to work with, so I was even more impressed with the work that Galemp made to significantly improve on it's appearance.

I however would have to make it the #1 on my list for models to be polyficated. It, and it's texture base and lower LOD's seriously needs it. The current model could serve a nice basis for a lower LOD, however, it would need to be re-textured in a fashion that matches the replacement. The only texturing concept I would keep from the existing Arcadia is the platform.

#1: Arcadia
#2: Orion (I don't even care if someone just fixes the texture hole in the existing one where the nameplate resides)
#3: Anything else.

I do think that a refresh is in order though, even for the existing models we currently have. There are too many shared textures and too many ships using a higher number of textures than they perhaps really need. And a sanity check on edges, joins and the like.

Enioch: Any lack of dirt on the Arcadia maps may actually be my fault when I converted what Galemp supplied the FSU with. I will examine this more closely.

[Aardwolf]

Nah, I think the textures would have to look basically like the original (at least as far as color and the 'grain' of the pattern). And the stuff that shows up inside the little cube part has to stay basically how it is, because I <3 it.

[Oddgrim]

Er, what about VA's one?

dunno about it haven't heard/seen any progress on it?
edit: and I wouldn't mind two versions of it anyhow

[Snail]

Well,







Why not make some models for ED?

[Oddgrim]

cools   
well that project kinda burned me out, lost the drive and so there was RL keeping me busy.
I've come quite far on my model so don't think I'll stop

[Commander Zane]

Damn...nice.

[Rodo]

I've come quite far on my model so don't think I'll stop

don't want you to stop either ^^

share share!!

[BloodFleet]

The Rakshasa seems to be one of the most wanted, is someone working on it yet.
