Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Figured I'd do up a render for everyone.

That is, with the reasonable exception of the unfinished-looking bits on the starboard quadrant of the disc, one of the most perfectly awesome things I've seen all week month year.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
But there is one question left:

Spoiler:
Will it blend?

Now, seriously it is looking awesome. Looking almost better than most free models that fly around in the net (and this is still WIP) :yes:

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
And another update, I'll get around to doing a render at some point I'm sure, but Max's new nitrous viewports are pretty enough as is!



Brand, I do have to say that the front profile looks a bit too square...



I believe the docking ring fairings should slope downward a bit.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Umm.. there's definately a subtle slant downwards. Use a straightedge if you have to.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Actually after some analysis of my reference shots, there is a very very slight slope, looks like around 2 degrees.  I've updated it to reflect this.

Also note that in those images, the falcon is squashed horizontally, I did some correction on this image to pre-empt people going on about how my falcon isn't fat enough =P.  Also of note in that department is that the 5 foot falcon is a bit fatter than the 32 inch falcon, which was my reference for this model (As seen in ESB and RotJ, the 5 footer was used for ANH)





Also, why am I justifying myself? :P

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Hmm, but the round part has more of a slope than the "arms"... when viewed from certain angles, it looks like the arms are part of the circle and there should be more slope than there actually should be.  However, maybe the arms themselves need more slope; I'll leave those calculations to you.  ;)

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
I'm pretty sure it won't be noticeable in-game, so don't worry about it.

In case it is of any use to you, here are some reference images of the 5 foot model (thank this guy for originally posting the link over on scifi-meshes.com)

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
You managed to make this even better than the one I remember from the movies.
Thanks. Now finish this, sooner rather than later.
If you want to be ready for Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn, then download and play the prologue first.

Here,

http://www.wcsaga.com/downloads/files/download/releases-prologue-setup-exe.html

Then, while waiting for the Darkest dawn, Download Starshatter 4.02

http://www.starshattermods.com/infusions/pro_download_panel/download.php?did=214

You 'll understand why once you have.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
Can you answer this question?

Will the radar dish be a destroyable subobject?

The reason I'm asking this is because if it is a destroyable subobject, I can remove it completely in FRED,  "converting" the Falcon into a traditional YT-1300.

Re: My Latest WIP: The Millenium Falcon
I don't see any problem with making it a destroyable subobject, easy enough to do.  The issue, however, would be that the AO would still be baked on the texture, so there'd be a big black spot where the dish used to be.  I'll be converting this into a stock YT-1300 after I'm done this, so it's just a matter of waiting for it.
