Fin now is smoother and slightly different and i hope what i did with the engine block is cool.
Almost all parts of the texture are used.

I'm going for the cockpit now.

Lookin' pretty good.

It looks as though you've left the guns triangular? Not necessarily the worst thing you could do, but it looks kind of meh.

[peterv]

Guns are still a WIP 

[Snail]

Got loads of potential here.

You mean like the Ursa with its three-times-larger-in-size barrels?

[Galemp]

That was a deliberate design decision. These guns, not so much.

[peterv]

Looks like i need a new image host 

[Titan]

Can you show texture-less ones instead? It's hard for me to see the details with the retail textures ATM.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Much cooler. The little blocky protrusions on the back of the engine are great.

The last thing I'd recommend BTW would be to chamfer the edges on the big dark section of the engine block. The sharp edges look a bit out of place with the rest of the model as well as with the textures on it

done!









Two questions:

     a. The dark parts of the cockpit are part of the model (not the cocpit's submodel). Shall i UVmap them in the TVcocpit texture or shall i add texture parts on the Thoth's texture and UVmap them there?

     b. The polycount is ~5600 so far. If i turn the guns from squares to octagons it will reach ~6400. Shall i do that or make them simple culinders and depend their shape on the normal maps?

[Commander Zane]

Damn.

[Aardwolf]

What about hexagons?

*smack* Remove those little cutouts from the guns and just make them cylinders. Please. Texture them that way but having all those little crinkles drives up the polycount for no benefit whatsoever. 90% of the time this thing is onscreen, those guns will be smaller than a single pixel. Please, just make them octagonal cylinders.

Yes sir

Hey would someone mind telling me ... where are the missile points on the Thoth?

Check post no 1

Okay, checking first post:

Question: I added a part of the originall texture that's not UVmapped in the retail model where the missile bays are supposed to be.

Do i proceed with this?

I don't know how it is for the other people, but I still don't know were the missle banks are....

[Black Wolf]

See the grey bit where the cockpit is? There's one each on the left and right sides of that thing

[-Norbert-]

Hm... no wonder this thing can take only so few missles....
Thanks for pointing it out, I'd never have found them on my own.
