Maybe I'll finish this one
...unlike my other stuff



tl;dr: So Blender 2.5 can export UV maps to SVG files (each polygon on the UV is an individual SVG polygon), and this gave me the idea to try making a texture in Inkscape instead of Gimp or Photoshop. This turned out to be a good idea (even though Inkscape is unstable and so incredibly slooooow that it takes seconds to redraw an image with lots of filters and blurs).

Re: Maybe I'll finish this one
that's good, really good.

I'm interested in that inkscape, is it an open source program?
EDIT:
google was here.

Looks like a hybrid of BSG design ethos and StratComm's Terran Fleetpack armaments...

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?  :)

Anyway.

Re: Maybe I'll finish this one
Amazings! I love it =P

This one would be in-game without turret models, am I right? Is mighty fine so far.

Are you planning to release this?

Adjust your monitor's brightness? Or try fullscreen view, it helps to get rid of the extreme contrast with the white background. Truth be told, I don't want to show it fully yet, but it isn't that dark.

That one was really crappy, it's probably the least complete model in my modeldump. I really didn't like how it turned out early on, so I stopped working on it. But it's in the modeldump if you really want it.

Re: Maybe I'll finish this one
Hey Nx, I got some questions regarding your Bellerophon (Is that it's name). If you don't mind me asking:

-The turrets look like Stratcomm's. Is it following that style model/texture wise?
-Will it be possible to nameplate the Bellerophon?
-Does it have a fighterbay?

Cheers

  • Bellerophon is just a generic nameplate I use. Note the name of the Picasa album: it's called Astraeus
  • Not consciously. I don't even know what StratComm's turrets look like. The ship itself however has the same general shape.
  • It's funny, in the past I used 3d text to prototype nameplates because I was too lazy to map it and create the texture. Naturally I got worried replies and suggestions that it's a waste of polygons when I did that with the Iceni. Now that I create a proper nameplate texture, people are still worried it won't be customizable  :D
  • Yes, although it wasn't meant to be a carrier. The Hecate does that job nicely.

Re: Maybe I'll finish this one
Astraeus? The name is awesome, and fits your beauty in the making perfectly!

Thanks for those answers, Nx. Now me really, really wants the Astraeus  :p
