*weeps in joy*

[sigtau]

At this rate, we're going to have an entire non-retail armada for all three races at our disposal in the coming year.

[fightermedic]

great to hear

[Kobrar44]

How is it going?

[Rga_Noris]

Just avoid confusion, this is still being worked on by me.

I'm hoping to have some shots up soon. After some discussion with Luis Dias and the FSU team, we decided that a new mesh was to be completed. Luis Dias generously gave permission to base some of the model off of concepts put forth from his. While the over all look of the Rakshasa is different, some of the main themes and asthetics are heavily inspired by Luis Dias' work.

Many of the parts go back more towards the V original, but the neck portion and much of the rear end retains the look that Luis Dias came up with.

And here ya go:

Retail:


nuRakshasa:









This is not the final mesh, but quite close...

Now do what ya'll do best and BRING THE HATE.

[SypheDMar]

Love it~

Spoiler:

By that I mean it's awful and too different from retail. it's amazing and detailed. I love ribs.

[Mars]

I love what you did with those pipes in the rear.

[Lester]

A very good and fluid model. The whole rib thing is spot on. The only thing I don't quite see the point of is that thing right beside the little tube on the sides. I can see where you got that from, the retail texture does indeed hint something else being there, and having two tubes there would probably look better than that... thing 

Highlighted the area in question in the pic in the attachment if you're unsure what I meant. Aside from that, a truly beautiful model!

it looks nasty and ugly - I love it   

[Rga_Noris]

Yeah, I'm not sure about that either. It looks cool, but maybe on a Terran ship.

It does however, make Shivan Snickerdoodles... are you *sure* you want it gone?

[Commander Zane]

I approve, very much.

[bobbtmann]

I love the silhouette. It's got a lot more life than the original. I don't mind the tube thingy on the side either. I think the solution for integrating it into the rest of the ship is to make the gap in the armour less square. It wouldn't take much, just a little extension of a a plate or two.

edit: alternatively, you could shorten a plate or two, which may even be a better solution.

mandatory "the cable is too thick!" (beside that highlighted antenna thing).

actually, that shivan snickerdoodle generator may as well be turned into MOAR SPIKE. since thats what the rak' is all about.

[Dragon]

Looks good.

[Ulala]

Fantastic work!

[TwentyPercentCooler]

It looks terrifying, which is to say, it's perfect for a Shivan ship.

Fantastic work!
