And that, kids, is what we call a loop.

[LtNarol]

my work on it so far:

[mikhael]

So I've been playing about with Codedog's mesh. Mostly, I was making it sleeker, cleaning up some Truespaced-screwed bad geometry and emphasizing/deemphasizing bits. What do you think?

[RoachKoach]

hey mik, could u tell me how u skin models? im really interested in learning how to.

[Styxx]

Good work!

That's looking like a read badass hit-and-run corvette.

[Zeronet]

You putting it up for download as just the mesh?

[LtNarol]

hmmm, working up some new maps, this will be a badass corvette.

o of course

mik, can i have that mesh when you're done with it so i can give it the texture job?

[mikhael]

Hit-and-run Corvette? I've been looking at this thing as a Freespace super-destroyer. Its even got logical places for hangar exits and recovery doors.

I like community projects like this. I'm going to do some more work on the aft end tonight, clarifying the engine layout and such. I'll most more pictures when I've got that straightened out. Also, Narol, I'll post the mesh. Should I repost it as a COB or an LWO?

RoachKoach (great name, I used to eat from one everyday in San Diego), I can't give you any idea on how to skin a mesh, because I have no idea myself. I've been looking at Venom's NGTA maps and then at the models that they go on and that is giving me an idea of how to proceed. If I do get it figured out, I'll write up something on my (always in need of real content) webpage.

cob please, i dont have lightwave.  If this is going to be a destroyer, or even a superdestroyer, i suggest thinning out the connection rungs midship some more and putting some details into them (just a recessed section on each, or a extruded section to give the feel of additional armor.  I'll also need to find something suitable for hangars...that'll take a while as i dont have any good ones and will have to work with psp.

I like it

Do some editing to make it seem less like a cylinder and ya got yourself a winner

[LtNarol]

you know, i think we should make this model publicly available to any and all campaigns...this model just has too much potential.

[mikhael]

I agree. I like the idea of a public 'model exchange'. I can't map to save my life right now, but I can hook up some half-decent meshes. On the other side, there's people who can throw together a decent concept for a ship, but not get the finer details done. With a model exchange, we can use everyone's abilities to make ships for everyone to use.

[Styxx]

Hm, we could start a "one-day model" project... could be fun.

[untouchable]

How about tomarrow?

I have the exact same problem.  I can model something but can't texture for crap which is why I don't do much modeling b/c everytime I apply textures they suck.  

LtNarol and Mik you guys have been doing a super job with that model.  I thought it looked more like some kind of super destoryer over a corvette.  

Untouchable, the reason it looks like a cylinder is b/c it is a cylinder.


Plus guys I also have a cruiser and corvette I made that go along with that model if you guys would like to have a look at them.

It would be especially good since we have so many people in different time zones; we could literally put 24 hours of effective work into a model and its textures during a one-day period.

Looking great so far, guys; it reminds me of that Terran corvette thing that Raynor has in StarCraft. The name eludes me. But it really is cool.
