:bump:

Bumped because I remembered this thread existed, and started looking through it and was like damn that was one sweet-looking WIP.

I'm contemplating resuming work on this one... but even if I don't, some people may have forgotten it exists... I noticed, for example, that it's still red in the mediavps model status thread.

We could always bother Rga Noris to take a crack at it if he wants to. His track record for completing WIPs is pretty amazing. :D

That thread hasn't been updated in ages, so yours isn't the only model that hasn't been acknowledged there. :p

And by all means, keep cracking at it. :yes:

Re: WIP Shivan Transport Azrael
I don't think I'm going to do much more with this. If someone wants to pick this one up where I left off, go ahead...

That said, I definitely think it could use some more modeling work before it gets converted; there's a lot of suggested detail in the textures, for example, which could make some parts of it look better, and the 'chin' probably ought to be redesigned outright... it's just too bland, as it is.

Oh, and the turrets -- they need some love too.

I wouldn't mind getting early access to the WIP/finished POF though, once it gets to the conversion stage.  ;)

Re: WIP Shivan Transport Azrael
Although I'm busy with the other two ships, namely the Hygeia and the Argo, it's been three years since Aardwolf, the Azrael's original modeller left off and I am taking over to finish what he started. I've added details on the back and the front. Check these attached images out. This is very awesome.

Good to see someone finishing the forgotten models.

Bryan, I'll give you an advice: Finish what you have started. You still haven't prooven to be able to go to the end of the line, and I can tell you that nobody will finish what you've started for you since everyone is working on his own projects and it's a lot of work. Until you have release some models, you will be seen as an enthusiastic modeller but not as a community contributor. I will restrain myself to comment on your models until you focus on one.

Re: WIP Shivan Transport Azrael
Yeah.. I've aleady UV mapped Aardwolf's model and have a new base texture applied, I just haven't finished it yet. You are certainly free to continue your work though.. I'm just not going to start the UVs from scratch again.

mjn.mixael, you did the good job working on Aardwolf's model. I can't wait to see it :)

Focus on one? What one are you referring to? The Hygeia, Argo or Azrael?

By the way, I'm using a more recent version of my Blender modelling software. I don't know where I can start my Blender to POF conversion from there.

Pick anyone, it doesn't matter, but stick to it. You can use any version of Blender for modelling and PCS2 for conversion. You can find instructions on the wiki, though some of the information is outdated (like the collada exporter configuration).

Re: WIP Shivan Transport Azrael
My previous post has made irrelevant - since my computer froze and hung more than 30 minutes ago, but here's an update: The HTL model for the Azrael is done, with three turrets. I hope Mjn.mixael will take it and UV-wrap my new model, but I'll keep working on, including getting it into the game.

Re: WIP Shivan Transport Azrael
I already told you that I have the previous version unwrapped already. I'm not doing that again just because you spent a little time tweaking the model...

i agree take your time and finish the models your have started first before starting other models

mjn.mixael, provide me the UV-wrapped model, and I'll try to convert it to POF...

Why? It needs to be textured and LODed with debris first.
