Ok, astoundingly enough, I managed to get this ship up to 341 polys, and I think that to date, this is the higest poly ship that I have ever made. I thought after doing all of the work for ap, that I could give you guys something to chew on.

Anyways, heres the pics:





I know it is missing something...

if you want any more views of this ship, please tell me

and if you texture it, you can use it in your campaign...mind you it has to be a decent texturing job, and I have to get a copy of it...

Does this just look like a TIE advanced, or was that the idea?

[Ulundel]

Looks too flat. And it's somekind of HW light corvette and SW tie interceptor hybrid.
tip: make the guns smaller :wink:

[karajorma]

I like it.

The guns need to be a little less square though. Also since you`ve got polys spare you might want to round out the wings a little.

[Redfang]

Yeah, it could use a few more polys, but it's good.

lol, I wasn't even thinking about that when I made the model...

hmm..ok...I'll try rounding the wings out a bit more...

[Kabal]

great model...would make a great corvette, with big slash beams in the two gun turrets at the front

[Neon]

Try to make the ship a bit rounder! And what's missing is something on top of the hull. Make some wings or something

Ideia: Near the engines, make wings like this: \_/
Instead of having ugly, simple squares near the engine make those wings! (with the style of the ship)

[Kabal]

it would make an interesting terran bomber....

*smacks self*

thats what I was going to do!!

thank you!!!

[Anaz]

guns are made smaller, wings added, looks much better...

note: it happens to supposed to look blocky, or just not-round. Kind of a very industrial style...

[Kabal]

much better...although it would be cool if the turrets were circular instead of diamond shaped

[Galemp]

Oooh, I want to fly that!

Zaphod: Bang! Kaboom! Powpowpow! Freeow!
Eddie the Computer: Game Over. You have earned three points. Previous score, sixteen million, one hundred thirty-five thousand, eight hundred and...
Zaphod: Okay, okay.

[Kabal]

figured out if it will be a fighter or bomber yet?

I'm thinking mebby its in the same class as a herc, heavy assault fighter...it defenetly "feels" much more like a bomber a fighter.

I think that's the problem; no one is used to square guns.  Try making them hexagonal or octagonal instead; that will not significantly increase polycount and give the guns a more believable feel.

You've never read the Guide?!
You poor man... *hands Analazon a Jynan-Tonyx*

[Fozzy]

If it was my model i would get rid of the two front guns and make a bigger cocpit.

[WS-Thunder]

What program you use man? I use D3edit which is a level building program for Descent 3 and I use milkshape which is significantly better and I can't even accidentally get a ship that square. Make it rounder to give it some life man! It has potential and a very interesting designe. It just needs a little more life to it. Try useing hexagons for the guns as was suggested above. I would also take the vertices on top of the wings and move them together so that they connect to give it a little sleeker look. The cockpit also is a bit simplistic in shape and makes the model so that it doesn't come together very well. Try makeing the cockpit a little different shape
If you can convert it to a format I can use, I might be able to help you out a bit if you would like:o) Very nice model though.

[Anaz]

I made it in truespace

anyways...GE, I thought you were talking about Zaphod the person who posts on forums, not Zaphod Bebblebrox. The only one I remember reading is Restraunt at the End of the Universe, which has the Jynan Tonyx in it.


This ship is rather small by FS standards if you look at the rest of the cockpits...I've never been very good at cockpits, I've allways been better with engines and hangar bays. I think the two front guns will go, and I will make missile bays next to the cockpit (I think it will look ok), and I'll try to make it a bit rounder.

Ok, on the "wings" you mean the tail things? make it so that the ends of them are closer? I don't quite follow...but I think I know what your talking about...


hehe, I think this is the most discussion that any of my models has ever generated
