Edit:



Edit the Second: Btw, make sure you watch out for the turret placements... they can't just be floating between ribs, y'know...

Damn, you're right.  :(

I must have seen the first two letters of the name and been like "oomxjlas vjnxbvsjpor389 bdsksaj kfsiodf " or some nonsense like that.

Thanks for all the help, guys. My son had a breathing problem yesterday and we had to go to the hospital, so I've done nothing thus far. I'm going tomorrow for a two week vacation and won't have internet connection. I'll bring the Rakshasa model with me and will work with it. I agree entirely with almost anything you guys said and I'll have to go back to the drawing board in what concerns the neck. The rest will be more straightforward (I guess).

So happy holidays to you.

Aw, jeez. I had terrible asthma when I was younger and my parents were always carting me off to the hospital. I fussed at the time but secretly I was rather glad of it.

Yeah. I've tried to post images here but had some problems. I'll link to my Picasa album. The RakShasa is almost complete, albeit some changes could yet be made, if you find any glaring errors.

I'm going to try and build my own turrets, with the help of some tuturials here. But I'll probably mess up with the process. Also, something that I was unable to do in holidays, due to the lack of dds plugins for photoshop (I hadn't access to internet), was UV map this ship. It will be complicated and to further damage, it will be my first attempt ever to UV map anything. It will be primarily complicated because of the ribs. If someone can help me here with good advice or even attempt to UV it himself, I'll gladly accept that help! :)

I'm loving what I see! :)

Nut the spikes look too low poly compared to the rest of the body, and there's also some surfaces that are too plain compared to the rest.

But awesome work, its coming to life
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?


Raven is a god.

Thanks for the cheers people, it helps the ego :D.

I'll address those issues in due time, Raven! Although I think that for "plain surface" you mean one of the back plates both on top and on the side. I'm divided on those things because the ship isn't that big, and those are of the few areas that are "plain", compared to the rest. Perhaps the ship should have a few areas of that? I'll leave that question open until I begin the UV mapping, I believe that will answer some questions.

I'm working on the turrets now, and had an idea for the AAA beam turret down below. The laser turrets are still on the drawing board and I don't like those ideas ;). What do you think?

It's awesome, the turret as well as the cruiser. What are the polycounts, triangulated?

I'm being extremely conservative on polycount. The cruiser is well below 8k, and the beam is slightly over 1k, but that's mainly because of the wires.

It looks nice, but a bit too frail I think.
Maybe make a solid column around which the wires go?
