Seraphim always was scary to me, in those large powerful formations. Now it looks great, too.

Needless argument over HTL-ing philosophy split out. Keep it civil, people.

It's pretty nice, in fact, it's better than the original. However, I think a lot more creative liberty could have been taken, as most of the detail you can put into it from texture (at least, on fighters/bombers) would be more noticeable with good normal maps, and would be better spent improving the shape, smoothing parts out, etc.

And it's very good to see you again, peterv!

Very nice to see you too my friend!

As for the creative differences, it makes me very happy that the (rest of) the FSU team are much more open minded than me

I was thinking this was going to be a remade GTF Angel to actually look good instead of having that weird beak for a nose, but this is awesome too.

I don't care about these goddamned creative differences, I'm just glad there's someone with enough balls to tackle Shivan ships.

Haters gotta hate

IMHO if the model has a full UV map you really can't go wrong my modeling in the detail implied by the texture. Tilemapped ships are another story, there's a heck of a lot more leeway involved in interpreting those for high-poly models.

Anyway, this looks great. Any sign of a POF anytime soon?

There are ~ 600 more polys to reach the limit and then (this weekend hopefully)  it will be ingame.

Thiiiiis.  Shivans have the most untouched ships out of the three species (for obvious reasons), so it's awesome to see someone finally giving one of them some loving.

YEAH BABY!

[X3N0-Life-Form]

YES! YES! YES!!!!

same reaction

Shivan ships really need a facelift.

Neat. Commited to FSU SVN.

[Kolgena]

The red "cockpit glass" is starting to look like the visor of some sort of anime robot head.

[Dragon]

Reminds me of a Cylon visior (sans the running light).

[Kolgena]

Sounds like the start of a new Shivan theory.

[Dragon]

Considering the number of humans discovered to actually be Cylons, it wouldn't be so suprising.

I just checked, and it appears that all your firepoint normals are wrong.  I think that the primary and secondary banks don't make a difference unless that flag to enable non-forward-facing-normals is enabled, but the turret firepoint positions and normals are way out of position.  Also, it too may not make a difference, but there is no rotational data for the parts of the turrets.

[Droid803]

Turrets need no rotation data. Don't bother.

But yeah, the other stuff should be cleaned up.

[peterv]

fixed (added the rotation data too, since the retail has them): http://www.mediafire.com/?7q74y6mcysglo2t

But Droid803 is right. I've being flying around some of them trying to see the turrets rotating and i couldn't see absolutely nothing
