Honestly, I share the sentiment with that Freelancer mod.
All the meshwork in the world you do is worthless if you don't get it UVed. Good luck with that btw.

Going to be doing a bit more meshwork now that the ****ass Freelancer mod I was working for kicked me out because I was being an ass (as planned, they told me to stop working on the model so it could be finished) so now I can work on the mesh some more apparently in hope this thing never actually gets textured. Hopefully I'll get some screenshots or something then, but until then

I'm... hoping this isn;t entirely serious, and yet somehow I kind of think it is. With Droid 100% on this. It's a great, detailed mesh. The more detail you add, the harder it will be to ever see it ingame. Seriously, stop mesh work, get it UVed and see it used, or keep tweaking and changing until nobody cares anymore and see it gather dust on a HDD somewhere.

Well, eventually its gonna get to the level of some cinematic model that can only ever be used in renders...even if it were textured.

Ahah, now I know why you got dissed at the other place... you are obsessed with perfection man! Didn't anyone tell you that perfection is the biggest enemy of "GOOD"?

[Dragon]

It's the same problem BWO has, and look where that led them.

[Hades]

Actually, no it's not. I'd allow someone to help me finish the Hemera, BWO is too stuck up to allow someone else to help them finish their models in return for some of the finished products.

[Dragon]

That too, but if they could just release with lo-poly models and upgrade them later, it'd be released years ago.

There's this thing called "Standards" and "Doing it perfect, not just good enough". So kindly ****off and let him do his ****.

[Dragon]

Setting standards too high frequently results in work being tweaked and perfected impractically long. IMHO, the mesh is already of highest practical quality. It should be ready for texturing.

[Luis Dias]

I agree, let's give the man a chance . Its his ship anyways.

Sorry if I annoyed you, Hades, not my intention.

And you should shut up. Its Hades' call when its done. Problem?

[LordPomposity]

Wow, who went around pissing in the coffee this morning?

[Darius]

Personally I find there's plenty of time for tweaking after release, and you get the satisfaction of everyone giving you kudos from having played with it already...

Give out a version for someone to UV and texture, and keep a copy of the mesh for you to play with afterwards if you have to.

[Hades]

you all seem to think I'm talking about major tweaks, no. I'm not. I'm talking about minorish details and such that would take maybe a day's time. Hell I've already completed most of them.

[JCDNWarrior]

It looks amazing, I really look forward to adding it to my collection of ships for my campaign Keep up the good work Hades and everyone else helping!

[Hades]

Should be done now. Just added a bit to the engines to make them a bit nicer, because they were bugging me.

Final version of the mesh. I sent it off to someone (poor bastard) for uvmapping a long time ago. Dunno how it's going, haven't asked.

p.s. this 3d model viewing site is awesome, goodbye photobucket

[TacOne]

That's so cool!

And the ship too I guess (j/k the ship is also cool)

[SypheDMar]

Looking at the 3D model, the "head" has a more Hecate-y feel than I remembered.

EDIT: The four cannons in front still makes no sense to me, and no rule of cool is going to cut it. Is it a logistics ship or a warship? Because the immobile cannons in front make little sense for something that's carrying precious supplies. When it faces a threat, is it suppose to blast its attacker to death head-on?

It's not purely a logistics ship. More of a general support ship that provides fire support for other warships and logistics support as well.
