Well unless anyone has any major issues, we have the final NuY Map here:

Damn, that's pretty freakin' pro.

You know it occurs to me you folks have some trailer building material.

Rebel Strikeforce attack on an ISD? Eh? Eh?

Seriously though, amazing work brandx.

Lovely work. Again.

Pred the Penguin · **Reply #123 on:** February 10, 2009, 08:19:10 am

Looks positively stunning! Never seen a Y-wing look more beautiful.

FUBAR-BDHR · **Reply #124 on:** February 10, 2009, 01:19:49 pm

Looks great. No issues here but I do have a question. Are you going to have it set up to allow color changes? Could be useful for multi.

swashmebuckle · **Reply #125 on:** February 10, 2009, 01:53:44 pm

Fantastic. I do have a general question though: are you planning to include 3D cockpits in the first release? The Raptor interior that the Diaspora team showed off looks freaking awesome, but it's also understandable if that sort of thing isn't a top priority. Anyway really, really great work.

GT-Keravnos · **Reply #126 on:** February 10, 2009, 02:38:04 pm

Can't say enough good words on your work, b!
Plain awesome!

One question though: Will we see an "armored" variant?

not major, but i think it is a *little* too 'light' and a slightly darker texture would be better

chief1983 · **Reply #128 on:** February 10, 2009, 03:08:57 pm

I tend to agree on the yellow stripes, but the rest of it is about right.

Exhibit A

Considering the yellow bands are probably their own layer/mask/etc anyway, I wouldn't worry too much.

Galemp · **Reply #129 on:** February 10, 2009, 04:02:15 pm

Mmh, I agree that the yellow is almost imperceptible, and I can hardly see the blue on the sides and the cockpit. Let's not forget that those photographs should be used for geometry reference, as the lighting might not be optimal.

For the record, this is how Lucas Publishing photographed the Y-Wing for Star Wars Chronicles.

We've established this is the BTL-A4 Y-Wing. Can you make a slight variation for the BTL-S3? The ion cannons on that model are unlocked and used as a turret, so the geometry needs to be adjusted for full 360 degree rotation with a 180 degree field of view. It would be tricky to pull off but I think you can do it. Clone Wars used a bubble turret on the BTL-B, which is a variation from McQuarrie's original concept so if you want to go that route, there's plenty of material to back you up.

maje · **Reply #130 on:** February 10, 2009, 05:38:02 pm

I thought that Clone Wars used the BTL-S3 before it was stripped down, because as far as I know, the A4 is the only Y-wing that ever had any visual depiction that I'm aware of.

Back on topic, that's one great looking fighter, brandx0. The patience with dealing with the subtleties of little bits and pieces of exposed sections of the Y-wing are what really make this model shine. You really have a great eye for the little details.

I have been thinking this over for a while since I've been busy at work and 3D burnout for the past month or so, and if not to impose, would offer over all the files I've had on the Z-95 mark II including the PSDs. I did plan on redoing the textures in early May, but if you're interested, I would be honored.

brandx0 · **Reply #131 on:** February 10, 2009, 05:42:14 pm

I wouldn't mind retexturing it if that's what you're asking, it'd give me a nice little side project to work on while I figure out my next big endeavor

FUBAR-BDHR · **Reply #132 on:** February 10, 2009, 05:53:35 pm

I was just taking a second close look and noticed something doesn't seem quite right with the R2 unit. Can't place what it is but it's definitely change from the one in the "starting to get dirty" pic. Other then the color change that is. Could just be looking from a different direction.

brandx0 · **Reply #133 on:** February 10, 2009, 05:56:08 pm

Well, I upped the saturation on the colour markings, hopefully everyone's happy now

Also, the R5 unit hasn't changed other than colours.

Also decided to do a comparison between this and the old one:

NuY-Wing: 4300 polies

Old Y-Wing: 7800 polies. Less Accurate, worse map, all in all a much more amateur product

FUBAR-BDHR · **Reply #134 on:** February 10, 2009, 06:01:28 pm

Looks fine in that pic. Must have just been the angle. Made the detail look kind of flat compared to the view from the previous pic.

chief1983 · **Reply #135 on:** February 11, 2009, 10:32:06 am

That old one did have a cockpit though...

brandx0 · **Reply #136 on:** February 11, 2009, 10:46:53 am

Good thing you volunteered to make it chief =P

chief1983 · **Reply #137 on:** February 11, 2009, 11:05:57 am

Here you go.

Vector Leader · **Reply #138 on:** February 11, 2009, 01:38:08 pm

Wow. Just... wow. Brand, you are the freak'n MASTER! lol

Amaaaazing.

PLEASE tell me you'll have cockpit views for this bad boy (and all other craft

) that look this good.

Absolutely! We need to have the two seater S3 model.

We know the pilot and the WSO sit back-to-back a la T-47, but other than that, I believe the only other differences from the A4 model is that the cpu systems aft of the pilot in the A4 model are non existent or abbreviated (I have to refresh my memory) to allow more room for the WSO in the S3 and the cockpit (and entire forward command section?) is extended a bit to better accommodate him/her. I wish LFL would release some concrete schematics on the S3 model detailing the differences they've only described.

Also, I'd love it if the "off-the-assembly-line" version of the A4 was remade. That was stunning. It'd be great if the A4 Longprobe was implemented, as well.

That was most likely a much earlier model that was all it's own, the BTL-B. A straightforward, good ol' fashioned bomber.

The "just-off-screen" two seater BTL-S3 model (and single seater BTL-A4) were most likely stripped down versions of their respected model.

The antennae is missing?

I'd prefer it if the R5 unit was restored to red. I just think it looks better.

Frankly, the Clone Wars bends canon so much anyway, and then there's almost no canon information given about the Y-wings in that episode.
