Well, time to post up a WIP of this baby:



P.S. I've officially renamed her to NuRTIE because NuNuTIE Sounds too Anime-ish.

[StarSlayer]

Hurah for the NU NU TIE

[Galemp]

WHY?!?!

[chief1983]

Uh, what?  Did you miss the part where his hard drive died and he lost all the old TIEs?  Or do you just mean, why is it so awesome?

[Herra Tohtori]

*Nu-Nu disapproves your naming conventions

 

It looks great and consistent with the look of the Y-Wing. The earlier ones had shiny textures, these ones are more subdued and better matching to Star Wars universe.

In other words, 

[Galemp]

Uh, what?  Did you miss the part where his hard drive died and he lost all the old TIEs?  Or do you just mean, why is it so awesome?

What, did he lose the NEW TIE fighter he did in December?!

[brandx0]

Yes, I lost everything.  Including NuTIE

[maje]

Wow, when your HD crashed, did you somehow come back with the power of perfected textures and lighting, because while your stuff was always good, these new renders really show off the detail in a most realistic atmosphere.

Are you going to do the ANH TIE Fighter as well?  (white-gray hull coating as opposed to the blue-gray that ESB and RotJ use).

[brandx0]

Yeah, It's an easy one to do

[Galemp]

Yes, I lost everything.  Including NuTIE

aargh

[CountBuggula]

Brandx0's new official title is The Phoenix.  From the ashes of the crashed hard drive rises brandx0 - extreme modeler extraordinaire!

I can't wait to see your new Interceptor and Bomber models.

[chief1983]

Not only that maje, his new computer is so much faster that what used to take 30 minutes to render on his old one now takes a couple of minutes, so he kept increasing his render settings until he was back up to that half hour minimum render time

very nice...but aren't the twin laser cannons too far apart? I dunno anymore, but it seems so.

will u be making cockpits simultaneosly so the first shipset comes with them included?

A star wars space combat simulator never comes without cockpit

[brandx0]

The lasers are fine where they are.  The EGVV has them horribly oversized, which is a fault that has entered most every other Star Wars game.  They match up with the real model quite well.

Also there will be cockpits eventually, but we feel it's more important to have ships to fly in before we start jumping into custom cockpits for every fighter.  They'll come soon enough though

Also another WIP Update

[Snail]

Stupid question, but how many of these ships are actually in-game?

[chief1983]

Well since he just restarted a month ago, not really any of them.  We had a couple testing versions of some of them in game but now we'll have to be starting over with the conversions.  Once Brand gets caught back up to a decent point I think we'll be trying to get them in game.

[brandx0]

What do you mean "in game?" We're not making a game here!
=P

EDIT: 

[13:36] <@Brand-X> "The cannons are too far apart"
[13:36] <@Brand-X> lol, willl there be no end?
[13:45] <Shade> No. No, it will not. Might as well get it over with and go insane now - It'll ease the pain at least

I think I'm going to take Shade's advice...

[Galemp]

Stupid question, but how many of these ships are actually in-game?

It's not a stupid question, I just started a topic in the internal on that matter.

[jacek]

Hi! Brand Your Y-wing cause my depression  but few days later I think why I shouldn't try it on my own so here is my first attempt with adding details on TIE-interceptor:

[brandx0]

Looking very nice so far
