A new render by......me.  (what, you expected me to say someone else?)

Click

Here's another view.  This is an older version of the mesh.

And just for fun, a side view of the two ships.

Anyone know of a good way to make nav light-type things?  The ones I made weren't all that hot.

Well, I thought about putting in a bit of weapons fire, but it would all be going to basically the vanishing point......

Excuse for shield effects actually.  Which reminds me, I have to figure out how to make shield effects.....

Yes, it's inventing a good looking one that takes time. :nod:

Latest updates on the model.



Next up are the point defense mounts, and possibly a modification of the VLS banks near the rear.

Poly count is currently at 23,118.

By the way, at ~8x4 meters, you could practically drive a semi down one of those gun barrels. ;)  The ship has a hull length of 402 meters, with another 23 meters of antenna.

Let's see you make new textures.  I've made new textures before, but what's the point of making them when the model itself isn't finished?

Shrike has probably hundreds of unfinished models, and maybe 3 that are done.

What, you expect me to comment on two forums? That's it, I'm just going to quote this reply once I'm done and paste it onto SB. :p :D

Render's good. I like the view you have on the further ship, and the closer one has nice nav lights (you did a good job on the metal shader), and the sun is sweet. I still don't like you having your stars so bright (IMHO it shows a focus of the camera more on the starscape), but you don't look to have any signs of changing that anytime soon, so heh. ;)

As a render, the quality is nice, but it's (unfortunately), meaningless. We don't even know if the ships are moving anywhere, since you don't tell us, and we can't see any thruster glows (sure, they could be coasting, but with relativity and all, how would we know?). So for all we can see, it's just two ships sitting, sunbaking. Ummm... woohoo! ;) Work on putting some story into it next time (you've done it before, it doesn't take much at all).

Anyway, nice job. I won't steal your limelight by posting my three new renders. :D

I've heard all sorts of problems about that. I would have thought something like that would be standard by now. :nervous:

Just look through The Array. All of it. It's pretty much all unique stuff in there. The stuff which isn't unique is pulled from the FS story arc.

Well, it just seems kinda pointless, seeing as you have the facility to texture and you're pretty good at it, but you don't have any textures to put on there.

Besides, I was joking. ;) I know all your models are WIPs... I don't think I've seen one that was absolutely finished come out of you, ever. :p

True, I suppose. I think you've got ten or eleven seperate Wasps and Deliverances sitting around, you know. ;)
