Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
No offense to the modelers working on the project, but the concept art (and the associated development) is just so far-fetched from what is actually seen in-game that I really would be opposed to seeing something like this in an official MediaVP release. However, that is merely my opinion...

Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
Considering that it still adheres largely to the existing retail model, and that anything else to take it's place (according to your opinion) would likely be a severe departure from it, then this model (once it is completed and if there are no other or better models available by that time), will probably go in the MediaVP's.

Feel free not to play with it though.

Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
I think he means the bright teal and pink model that's a few pages back. I don't think anyone is suggesting to put that in the mediavps.

The "real" boanerges model that is pending completion is actually not visible in this thread because all the attachments with screenshots died. However, that model is perfectly canon. It's basically the same, except it's curvier, has a cockpit, and is several times sexier, so don't worry about it ;)

I better hope not, it was never meant to be canon  :P

Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
Well, it should be. ;)

 
Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
If you actually finished up that unfortunately-coloured version a few pages back, is there a chance of a release? I much prefer it to the canon, and would love to play with it.

When I first saw the credits playing retail, I got a "wow, they really realised that concept" vibe for most of the pieces. Then I got to the boner-nazi and sort of had a "what were they thinking" look on my face.

That is not the boanerges. That was an example at UVMapping layout.

What he means is that is in no way how the thing is supposed to look. It's a texture layout, so a texturer knows what to paint what color. I don't have any idea why anyone would want to seriously fly that.

Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
Oh, no no. I'd fly that ship. It's just not what I know of as a Boanerges.

Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
Ohh... actually it's just the basic colors max applies to objects.  I haven't even gotten to the uvmapping stage yet, although I do see the similarity now.

That rainbow thing is actually based off one of the concepts for the boanerges. That's why it came up in this thread at all, methinks.

I do mean that. I'm aware it is not the canonical boanerges, but it closely resembles the concept art of the boanerges, which I prefered to the canonical model.

I'd split this thread but the old images and therefore content seems to have disappeared.

In that case, does anyone happen to have an image of the MediaVP candidate for the Boanerges? I'm curious to see it now...

Re: Anyone doing the Boanerges?
I think the Boanerges model/texture needs a bit more work before we can consider putting it in the mediavps...
