Nighteyes never fails to impress.

It's subtle, but that works just fine for the Manticore, since it's such a simple design to begin with.  Nice.

The Medusa and Hermes (which I plan to completely redo if I ever touch the mesh again) are simple designs.

The textures are nice but please, people, don't accredit the whole thing to him, the mesh was originally by DaBrain.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean for that to come off as a 'stop parsing his work but praise mine', I just meant to provide an example of simple designs remade and to make sure credit was given where credit was due, which actually belongs to Byron.

Umm no it wasn't, I remade the mesh from scratch using DaBrain's mesh and the original textures as a reference. If you compare the two you can see very distinct differences.

edit: Very nice texture work there Nighteyes, can't wait to see the finished product.

Fantastic job!

Model is BByron's work.  Textures are the property of Nighteyes.  Inspiration from DaBrain (which is an important mention).

Well done, community.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like it!

just so you know, you gave me a real headache while I was texturing this, some key features of the Manticore were not modeled on the mesh, like the glow parts at the sides of the "head", and the connecting arms were also quite a big departure from the original, I was thinking it will be relatively easy to texture it, and to my surprise I needed to paint a lot of the details by hand...
anyway I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, so no worry
*from my observation while texturing shivan ships, the glow maps are like 50% of selling the "feel" that its shivan...
*glow maps won't be animated

*can anyone convert/reconvert the model for me please? I'm having problems checking how it looks in-game(hence the small screenshots), the model basically needs scaling up a bit so I would be able to zoom in on it properly, here are the files:

I need this asap please, I want to finish it today, the maps are practically done just final tweaking now

[BrotherBryon]

Sorry about that I made the glow parts on the head a bit smaller than on retail (DeBrain's model was like that as well I think). The Arms themselves I really struggled with for a while and ended up following the concept art a bit more than anythings else. Wish I could help you out with the conversion but I'm not all that familiar with the process myself.

[Nighteyes]

so... nobody can do a quick conversion for me?

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Retail model is 17.94m wide, scaled it up to match that. (Is that what you needed?) Model attached.

[Nighteyes]

yes, thats what I needed, but for some reason it won't load the textures on it... can you try adding some kind of generic tiling texture to it? I'm really at a loss what the problem with this model is...

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Here ya go.

Make sure you have PCS2 looking for the textures in the right folders.

[Nighteyes]

its fine, the latest file FreeSpaceFreak uploaded works perfectly, so tomorrow I'll finish off the textures and upload the final versions

[Rampage]

I have attached here the following Shivan strikecraft:

SF Scorpion (UVmap partially done; needs texture)
SB Shaitan (not UVmappet; needs texture)
SB Nephilim (UVmap partially done; needs texture)

Because I am returning to RL this month, I pass the torch on completing these ships off to the FSU.  Models I credit to BrotherByron.

Of all time.

Thank you very much Χριστόφορε, looking forward to see you again 

[Nighteyes]

finally had some free time and energy to finish this(Manticore), I'm currently on vacation so I can't really post any screenshots, anyone who wants to feel free to do it
