Ummhhh... Venom gave me a model that was about as big as a hetsepshut so I never resized it correctly... otherwise it would look ok..

Mein gott those lensflares! They are annoying! Cut them out, and you'd have a better render.  And I like those thruster plumes

Yeah... that's my fault if you want to do renders but can't size down a simple model?

  Venom also gave me a model without thrusters... so I had to improvise

interesting use of geometry, at first the tecniqes you used wouldn't produce good results but you used them in such a manner in combonation with absolutly briliant textures that it produced a look of high poly with probly no more than 350 poly, and you do these models so fast it's erie.

BWO is in need of a texturer and could use another modeler,
do you want to apply.

That may very well be the most impressive user-built fighter I've ever seen. Stunning job. Absolutely stunning.

  Damn I wouldn't think I would have such impressions on the model that took me so little time to do...
YEAH!!!! Bobboau actually likes it!!! Damn I'm proud, it's the first time he can't find anything wrong  
Working for BWO? Damn, that would mean I would work on almost all the major campaigns out there... Well, if you can allow me to make the models how I want (that means at least 4/5 maps for each model), why not?

Maeglamor: it's a mix from the artemis DH, the Ares, the Erinyes and my own work, for the maps. it uses 4 512*512 maps
Actually, the models uses 454 polys; mainly because I urrowed the guns deep in the hull, and made the exhaust hollow. I was seriously thinking of doing a very detailled cockpit ( hollow, with flipped normals for the glass, and a pilot in it), but it come to me that not everybody had a Athlon 900...
QXMX: you know why the GTVI never released the specs? Coz they don't have any idea of how this thing will fly lol. To be more clear, I don't know what tbl to give to her... but it looks like a damn efficient ship to me. Only 4 gun points thought.
SCREW CANON!

This is a good example of what I said in another thread, you can have a simple model but if it has good texturing it will look excellent.

The cockpit idea sounds intriguing, there are a few ways in which you could give the appearance of a pilot without too many polys. I might experiment with this if I get a sec.

if you do want to textur for BWO all the models are already UVmaped, all you'd need to do would be the texture map.

hmm... In fact, I wonder why I said that I could help... Yeah, I know: because I want to  
But I already have troubles working on my own campaign because of all the work I have around, I can't really allow myself to work on another project, sorry.

Raven: for my next campaign, if I ever finish the one I'm doing right now... If I can't finish this one, I definitively won't try to make another one. So I need heeeeeeelp!!!! (I need a mission designer and someone to help Snipes and Darkage to do new skins for the FS1 terran fighters, coz I know I ask a lot for only 2 people...)
Anyway, I'll release the Banshee as soon as possible, don't worry

How do you do a texture map?  I can do simple textures, but mapping like that takes some skill.

I really want to see it going!!

Let's see... I can help you with mission designing. Are you interested??
