Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
Vaguely vorloney colouring.

Looks good although I have never seen that ship model before so it's hard to compare to former... :lol:
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

 
Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
Here is another update:

This time I created new glows which I hope is better as I do like this one. :)



I added some darker paneling on the bottom where the thrusters are which you cannot see in this view.

Will release this and the modified pof model soon.

Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
The glows could be a bit more glowy (like bleeding some light onto the surrounding areas). Usually looks better if there's a slight spread like that.
But the shape of the glows are now very nice.

Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
Its as big as an Artemis. Better have a good payload :P

I hope you didn't draw that conclusion from my picture; I didn't take size into account there.  :nervous:

Oh...you didn't.
Oh.
Well...
Uhmm...
I would say I didn't but that'd be lying.

Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
Sorry. That picture was to show the similarities in SHAPE. :blah:

:sigh: However, might as well make the comparison:
Khepri: Height 11.00, Width 18.00, Depth 26.00. (according to the model I have)
Artemis: Height 16.89, Width 20.03, Depth 34.16.

So no, the Khepri cannot have a similar loadout to the Artemis (well, technically it can have any loadout it wants :p).;)

Plus more room is taken up by the extra guns. With all those guns, the missile capacity shouldn't be very big at all.

With the shape comparison image the canopy is a mere peephole compared to the Artemis's canopy if it's really that small.

Please make the maps for your previous revision available also when you post the DL, I do not like the new one.
Good job though!

Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
Here's a Screenie to help you :)



Also here is the final look as I'm done with messing around with this. I still am trying to figure out a problem I think this pof model is having. Seems when I try to use it in Fred2 now, it crashes and corrupts my mission file. I find this strange as I did have it in one of my missions and worked perfectly fine. But that one was just one fighter, I was trying to create a wing of them when Fred2 went South on me.

Stay tuned!  :yes:

Well, the original textures have errors on them and are really low res.

That's true and it does not have any normals, shine etc. Also, I will not be providing the original textures as they are already available at FSM in Aldos Model dump. No need to provide the same thing twice.

Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
If that was in regards to MY post I did not ask for Aldo's.

I asked for Jade Hawk Version 1's. But if you got rid of them or don't want to release them I can respect that.

Just wanted to set the record straight...

Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
ok I see what you mean now. :) Thanks for the clarification  :yes:

However, I'm still running into problems with Fred2. Seems when I try to create a mission, or add this into an existing one and try to save it, Fred2 goes nuts with errors and then crashes or wont save it at all then reverts back to the default mission editor screen.

Here is what I saved on one of the missions:

Doesn't look like anything to do with the model.  I could be wrong though :nervous:

Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
The green and blue seem rather uninspired.

 
Re: GVF Khepri, a fresh new look
Well I got a mission completed finally. I do believe the last two latest nightly build versions for Fred2 are buggy. Let's hope they fix whatever it is!

As for making the Green glow more brightly, I'll look into that. But don't hold your breath as I really like it as it is and only will consider it if it's better.

Happy New Year everyone! :)  :pimp:
