is it? I thought it was featured in inferno R1...

or perhaps that was the iblis... what does the yama look like?

[JCDNWarrior]

Nice, first time seeing the Asura, and good updates on the other ships. Would love to see this released so I could incorporate them myself.

Yama is in INFR1U, and it's look like a bigger Rakshasa - very nice model. In INFR1 you have only Kismat and Iblis.

The Vassago.
Use the HTL one.
Its in ASW 3.6.12

The version you're using has collision errors due to the ****ty MAX CONVERTER.
The HTL one is converted through Collada and has no such issues.
The original collision errors are my fault (for using the stupid converter in the first place), so I demand you fix it! I won't let my error run around like that!

Also, the HTL version doesn't have 2D polies on the forward guns.

Plus, its mapping is much less STRETCH (look at the "head part", ouch), and it has roughly the same shape/weapon config so it won't break any missions you made with it.

Let me assure you that it is in your best interest to change it.

  Wow, I think my eyes popped out when I pulled Vassago.pof out of the ASW mod. Beautiful.

With a bit of retexturing in PCS2, to make it fit the rest of the Shivan destroyer fleet - I ended up with this as a result:

On an unrelated note, another ship has been added. Screenshot not included, since the engine glows on it look like total sh** (though this will be fixed in a day or two).

Spoiler:

It is official. The Solaris is now in the Singularity mod, since a reunification with Earth will happen very early on in the campaign. I chose the Solaris largely because the model looks incredible. Singularity will not be a tie-in to the Blue Planet series.

The new Vassago looks much better.
Looking forward to more screens.

[Droid803]

Just FYI, the Solaris released with WiH is bugged.
If you have a ship depart via its hangar bay it will Crash FSO because of an improperly named bay path. (not to mention that all its bay paths are largely unusable due to being too short).

I can provide you with the fixed model, or you can ask BP, I guess.
Or just pretend it doesn't have a hangar in mission, that works too.

You have been warned.

[StargateSpankyHam]

The fixed model would be awesome, since the Solaris(es) will be destroyer-carriers. And, not to be picky or anything...but if the paths are too short, would it be too much to ask to make them longer?

If you have a link to download, that works. Or you can just email me - [email protected]

[Droid803]

I have a version with extended and correctly named paths with glowpoints done by Hades.
I'll PM you the link.

[starlord]

might anyone have pics of the yama?

[Nyctaeus]

It's somewhere in "New Eyecandy Thread" in Inferno board. I remember screenshot with blue nebulas but I don't remember where. Probably on further pages, with the old Ryujin and Tanen HTL.

It actually looks kind of ugly from other angles.

[Mort]

Still looks pretty wicked though

[Snail]

It is also unreleased AFAIK. And the Vassago basically trumps it in most respects.

[StargateSpankyHam]

With a little texturing love, I think the Yama could go pretty far. Have you considered slapping capital04-01 on it (the cool, silver texture present on the Demon and Ravana)? And, if you want, I can share the texture that has that intricate red glowmap with it.

Also, many thanks for the fixed Solaris, Droid803.

[Droid803]

Slapping Capital04-01 does not a cooler ship make.
In fact, I find that texture rather ugly and out of place on most Shivan ships, which are better served with a Rakshasa/Moloch/Lilith/Sathanas-like color scheme.

I actually wonder if your retextured shivans look any good at all under neutral lighting. The red lighting goes a long way in making Capital01-04 less...out of place

[StargateSpankyHam]

Well, I took a tech-room video of the four Shivan destroyers, viewable here: http://www.xfire.com/video/46afae/

I suppose it's just personal preference though. Apparently I have a thing for Shivans and silver, especially for the large ships.

[Droid803]

Hrm, the kismat looks surprisingly decent. Probably the suparbumpy normal map hiding the fact it only has like 10 polies.

But the Vassago...looks like a downgrade from its original texture scheme though, seeing as its shape suggests bigrakshasa (and the SSJ Gigas is Jumborakshasa), and the armor plates and shape get blobed over by the suparbumpy normal map.

[StargateSpankyHam]

Hmmm...I could edit the normal map, make it a little less megabumpy.

[Droid803]

The megabumpy helps a lot on the Kismat though! It's good on that!

But remember, Shivans are explicitly stated to display considerable diversity in terms of ship design as a species. Having too standardized a texture set contradicts canon! (jk)
