I'm not asking you to 100% recreate the textures, I'm just not so sure about adding random stuff to it. Maybe as a reskin version in the spirit of your pimp Hermes, but not for the standard model.

Stuff like noseart and the fighter nameplate (in all intents and purposes are like the names on vehicles/ships in Halo or on Vipers or Raptors in BSG) will be handled using RTT anyway, so it's no biggie.

mainly teeth like on the Loki, baby's gotta have teeth

I hate that!

[StarSlayer]

I dunno about a shark's mouth, thats more of a fighter thing IMHO.   I tend to think bombers deserve a pin-up girl draped on ordinance and a clever name.

[Hades]

Like I said, that'd be handled using RTT so default, it'd be 'blank' and the FREDDer can assign the nose art to be used.

[General Battuta]

Um I don't think that's RTT, that's texture replacement

[Hades]

Actually VA was talking to me about how RTT could be used to have nameplates while not having the polygon dedicated to it or the diffuse by using RTT, you'd specify a place on the texture and you could put whatever you want there (came up when talking about the bomber nameplate). May not work for something like nose art but I sorta leapt to conclusions I guess.

Well I wouldn't really like to see those on a Medusa. Let's keep the texture clean.

[Snail]

I'm with Mobius on this one.

[mjn.mixael]

I actually also agree with Mobius

[Titan]

I wanna see wings of pinup girls flying through space 

[Snail]

Well then you can add that to your game but not everyone wants that on the stock MediaVP model.

[Mongoose]

I think Titan meant actual pinup girls, not just images of them on ships.

[Aurora Paradox]

Well then you can add that to your game but not everyone wants that on the stock MediaVP model.

I'm inclined to agree with Snail on this one.  If you want to make it an optional add-on I have no quarrel with that.  However, they should not be included in the standard Mediavps files.

[Zacam]

Ya'll are worrying too much about that one little detail.

At the current moment, the engine doesn't even support the feature notion that Hades is suggesting.

And the re-texture of this model will carry the same visual elements of the existing Medusa in terms of coloration and what not.

[Hades]

Sorry for the lack of updates, folks I sent it off to VA so he could do his modeling magic on mainly the cockpit (gave him free roam to do his magic on anything he wanted to), but I would like to sow the difference between the two versions:
First version, posted on November the 25th;

Second version, posted on New Year's Eve;

I was astounded when I noticed this huge quality increase in little over a month.

[rscaper1070]

That is some kind of bad ass! Great work!

[T-LoW]

I first thought it would be kind of redundant to improve the Medusa (again). But now I'm totally convinced that it was necessary and absolutely worth it

[Snail]

Very, very awesome!

[Nemesis6]

Sweet Apollo, that is absolutely awesome!

It's making an ":O" face
