Wow... just... wow

[wEvil]

she's a pretty one and no mistake

[Grey Wolf]

OK, here is the Nike II, which will make it's debut in Node Wars: Centennials:

Very nice, but them gun things are too square .... and dunno why but it reminds me of that Blackbird fighter thingy (if u know what i mean)

yeah, you're right, the sr71 ( a recon plane but who cares? )

[Grey Wolf]

Now that I take a look at it, it does. But anyway, the main problem seeable in this view is the gun barrels? OK, I'll subdivide and smooth them, or at least the end of the barrels.

[Nico]

well, the only pb I see is that it's a low poly model, a good one, but still a low poly one. isn't that supposed to be high poly ships?

[Mad Bomber]

IIRC, GW's are just supposed to be rough ideas of the design of the ship.

Besides, not all ships HAVE to be high-poly... look at some of my concept sketches and you'll see what I mean...

And to get back on topic, I like the general look of the Nike2. Sorta like a cross between a bird of prey and an SR71. (Not a BoP from Startrek, mind you, just a generic thing like a hawk or something.)

[Grey Wolf]

It also features a nice double-wing setup. Just thought I'd mention that.....

[Zeronet]

Bump, almost fell off the first page.

[Mad Bomber]

another bump

[Mad Bomber]

and yet again, a bump

[JC Denton]

Wierd thing:  Every time I see the word Irae, I get the mental image of a murderous blend of a GTA Orion and an EA Warlock or EA Tempest.  Which actually follows the descriptions of the ship sort of...

[Mad Bomber]

Who knows when wEvil will return and post something in this thread? Only The Shadow knows...

[wEvil]

wEvil returns!!!!!!!!! muhahaha.

And on a new, shiny cable line too!

The havok jumps in and...kills something.

The beams and some other effects need quite some amount of tweaking - way too bright.

the UPL expeditionary reinforcement units breeze through local space in the Praxis System.

[Tiara]

1st one... It looks like new years eve but it looks awesome.

2nd : no stars? But it also looks jaw dropping!

[wEvil]

no stars?

look closer or turn the contrast on your monitor up.

Contrast is tuned but I still see nothing... Its like the UPL expedition in a void...

[JC Denton]

As usual, kick-arse quality work there.

What's your current project?

[Sheepy]

*ahem*EPIC*ahem*

Ok i have been trying to draw this up for ages but i cant get it looking right so i have completly gave up on it,
I want it to look Anime(ish) and big and look fancy, it was built over a long period of time, so time was put into the actually apperance, where as most tribe designs go for efficency rather than asthetics.

Its got bits coming of it here there and every where, two big arms that drop down at the front hold to heavy rail cannons, and some other stuff. Should be white and red i think ..... other than that ......... ah  well, u all gae up reading ages ago anyway so why am i bothering really?
