I'm convinced. Keep the textures

[Galemp]

Well, this is the third high-poly Typhon so far, so it's not like you're short of options...

[Aardwolf]

It looks nice, for the most part. Two small things, though:

1. The baked lighting doesn't work so well. It's too even; make some normal maps, then bake the diffuse part of that. As it is, the effect makes the hull look flat.
2. Just for comparison, do you think you could show a version with the tiled parts color-shifted to be more like ragingloli's original?

[Droid803]

To be honest, I wouldn't even mind having the green scale textures on Raginloli's original back, but I'd probably be burned at the stake for saying that >.>

Can't. I've tried, doesn't work. Radiosity is weird like that. As I said the textures are still a work in progress, and one of my tasks is to dig in there and get some aspect of the materials into the baked lighting effect.

[SF-Junky]

I care that it doesn't fit the color scheme of any other Vasudan ship we've ever seen.

That was, actually, all I tried to say, though I just checked the Hatshepsut and Aten models and realized that they indeed have a lot of grey parts. But they are way less noticeable imho... maybe it's because the contrast to the other Aten/Hatshepsut textures is not as strong as compared to the Typhon's?

No idea why some people around here seem so pissed. Did I say anything wrong?

[The E]

The HLP hive mind was in a bad mood, apparently. Not your fault, really.

Definitely seems that way. Effort has been made to make the tile textures fit in with the rest of the ship via colouration and the grey areas cover the engines only which is perfectly fine. Perhaps the grey textures could be darkened slightly to make them more Vasudany? I personally prefer it the way it is, but maybe darkening the grey will help stop it from standing out too much.

I'm not against criticism, but credit's got to be given where credit is due since this really is a beautiful pice of work.

I still think that replacing the grey texture with the texture used at the front would do a lot. At least the grey at the engines.

I totally agree with you.

[Galemp]

I'll see what I can do about recoloring the engines. Hold tight, more is on its way.

[Hades]

I think, perhaps, a darker gray like on the bottom of the Aten would work wonderfully.

Anyway, I can't wait to see the updates, and I surely can't wait to play with the model once it's finished,

[Androgeos Exeunt]

It will be nice to see the model in the game once it's done. I've been playing SGWP2 in recent days and have been getting some really nice views of the other Vasudan destroyer.

What is SGWP2?

[Rodo]

A custom campaign named Second Great War Part 2

[Galemp]

Spent some time today modeling, unwrapping, and painting a modeled launch bay. It's going to be closer to the Karnak than the Hatshepsut in execution, but for those of you who like them, there you go.

[Galemp]

It's in-game, and it works! Behold its diffuse and glow maps (amplified a bit with post-processing.) Shine and normal maps still to come.

[Hades]

Very nice. By the way, did you ever fixed this little bug on the texture?



Also, if you're doing an upgunned version, I think those 10 little cylinder things by the bridge could make either nice missile launchers, or platforms for rows of turrets ala ISD

I did indeed.

I've kept the turret placement close to how it was on TrashMan's upgunned typhon, so it should work the same. Those little greebles there I've baked onto the main texture so they're not being made into turrets at this time.

[T-LoW]

Very nice? VERY NICE?? /Trollmode

I simply LOVE that Typhon. It's very ****ing awesome!!11

[starbug]

DAMN!! Thats one looking ship, typhoon was always one of my favourite ships next to the hatie
