We be getting really close to release. All the turrets are renamed. Just need to do their firing points, and then it's on to conversion! Yay!

[ssmit132]

This is one ship I'm looking forward to.

[Krelus]

Do I see the Helheim03a texture in there? I love that one, it's probably my favorite "ship window/light" bitmap out there. Good choice!

(In case anyone is wondering how empty my life is, I just went on a retexturing spree of a crapload of capships and I have the names of quite a few textures memorized for the sake of my sanity.)

[Aardwolf]

Is that TrueSpace?

[esarai]

As in modeling or converting?

it was modeled in Blender, but all the heirarchy editing must be done in TrueSpace3. TrueSpace7.6 goes into a coma if I try to load this thing into it. And being a much more recent program, you'd expect it to actually work better than its predecessor--which gets down syndrome--but still works.

[Getter Robo G]

Glad to hear it's almost ready!!!!
 
Super job!   

[Hellstryker]

 
So... some time this year? 

[ShadowGorrath]

Esarai is being tortured by his school, so can't model. But don't worry, united GTVA-Shivan fleets are preparing to rescue him.

[Topgun]

If you havn't named it yet, I would suggest falchion.

[Hellstryker]

It's called the Amaterasu.

[Commander Zane]

Makes me think of tiramasu...

[Droid803]

Amaterasu is like the goddes of the sun or something, is it not?

[Mobius]

Makes me think of tiramasu...

Tiramisù...

[Hellstryker]

Off topic, but I wish I hadn't googled that... /drool

[Commander Zane]

Off topic, but I wish I hadn't googled that... /drool

I know...it's like the most amazing dessert in existance.

Tiramisù...

Oof.

[esarai]

Calling anyone who knows how to make models work.
I renamed all of the turrets and subsystems to their appropriate values, and the model is as close to being done as it has ever been, but there are still issues. It's a ghost ship, quite literally. No collision detections function at all. All subsystems and object centers are as they should be, but the stuff is still screwy. Any help on this matter is much appreciated. I'm including the fs2_open.log so people can tell me what the frack went wrong.

Thanks

[Dragon]

I heard pressing "purge BSP cache" in PCS2 can fix some collision problems ,I hope it will help you ,I'm not a modeller and unfortunately cannot say anything but it. You made an awesome ship ,Esarai and I hope you will fix the problems and release it soon. I think I will make as many reskins of Amaretsu as of HTL Orion 
(I have an Orion in nearly every style available ,cannon or not). It's currently my favourite WIP ,and those textures may be even used for entire faction. I wish you good luck Esarai.

[blowfish]

From the look of it you have created a gun or missile bank with zero slots in it.  Just remove the bank in PCS2.

[esarai]

Thanks, blowfish. I'll try that when I get the chance.
And thanks, Dragon.

And onto our main announcement:   I ran a non-debug build just to get the spectacle of the Amaterasu beating up on one of every destroyer currently in my tables. A Ravana unloaded on it, and lo and behold the health marker dropped 1%. Intrigued, I steered around and ran punched burners, angling to hit the bridge. I bounced off. The ship no longer ghosts. It can take damage, and it can smack stuff.

Now on to the final fine tunings.

Fear the Blue:

[Droid803]

Freaking awesome.

I see glitching beams though.
You should get the beam section texture width fix.
