No, it looked uglier. :p  It had a lot of boxes and greebles, but they didn't go with the original model.  They seemed to be added for the sake of having more polies.

Re: GTVA Orion - Alternate High-polygon Version
I rather liked the first one you did. The second one is "meh".

Agreed there as well.

The first one is a lot better, no offense. The second one is out of proportion. Doesn't look like Orion I know and love.

Re: GTVA Orion - Alternate High-polygon Version
I've said the same thing also, the advanced appearance of the first one is excellent, I'd rather see something more radical than another redone "old" Orion.

Re: GTVA Orion - Alternate High-polygon Version
Yes, please just use the first one. No sense making another one that looks just like the ones we already have.

Re: GTVA Orion - Alternate High-polygon Version
Well, since proportions became an issue for second attempt I might as well not use the first one as it's proportions is equally off. At the moment I'm making a fusion of the HTL and retail version.

progress:

Comparison to original


to the HTL

Which one? Stop(used in nameplates) or Bank Gothic Md BT (used in the interface)? The first one is DLable from the FreeSpace Port's site while the second should be a standard issue on all computers. :)

No, it looked more like a grungier capital ship, and as such cooler :P Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one :D
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

Re: GTVA Orion - Alternate High-polygon Version
I need to say I liked better the first one, it seemed more "new" than this one.

You need to add some detail on the wall of the hangar bay side IMO.

If this is to be used as a replacement for the original Orion then it needs to resemble it. My first attempt is a far cry and thus not suitable as such. Furthermore you do realize that the "progress:" means it's WIP, right?

I'll try to say this one more time: It's a Fusion between the Retail and HTL version!

Re: GTVA Orion - Alternate High-polygon Version
Final try (some detailing is still needed, but the overall shape is done)

Same.
This one just looks too much like the one we already have, making it redundant to say the least.

What's the point in that?


Still liking the first one a whole lot more.

 
Re: GTVA Orion - Alternate High-polygon Version
Apart from the model being not well made (perhaps poor export?) I don't know... Some people didn't really like the HTL version for being too boxy and far from the original - which is why I tried to fuse the best of both. Interestingly enough no one likes this idea...

But doesn't matter, the old one is gone and I guess it's a plain no across the board so if a mod doesn't mind he may close this thread...
