Your models are awesome.

on this last mesh I just forgave some polys, the little control deck with radar which face big round part, will post it this night

Just to say I updated last screen of earth force 1 with missing parts (a *bip* of inacurrate blueprint)

not professionnal

with the good tools and a bit of patience you can do many things

Wait for network support, if my personnal ship will be accepted, to see how far can I go

Are you talking about the ship from your avatar ?
May I use it too someday ? I really *love* it

Or we could just make it the "French Alliance official fighter" hehe

yep, fond of this concept of french "'alliance official fighter"

On est que 2 ici? pour la french allaince risque d'etre un peu short, Ã moins d'etre des aces du joystick

je voulais dire pas tres nombreux, mais apres tout, avec des gens comme Tanguy et laverdure dans notre patrimoine culturel, je pense qu'on a la fibre

you crazy francophones.

La espace avion TerreForce Un est voit tres bien. Je veux jouer la B5 mod quand il est finis.

J'ai ecriver en francais (un petite...), mais je ne comprende pas quand vous ecrivez en francais.

mais je peux, uhh... appreciater (heh) la langue.

well guys, continue this way and I will have to put my B5 mod in off topic section

It should be fun, but later, to have some ships for people from different parts of the world, or some recon signs on the ships, but for now we are the earth alliance, and we will blast vorlon with the appropriate material. We will protect earth force 1, we will have to protect maintenance starfurys repairing a nova class dreadnought to be able to jump out a sadly infested place, we will be special forces with a small squadron, we will fly in narn war machines, we will try whitestars, we will escort excaliburs to destroy vorlon planet killers, we will land off full 3d hangars...
let me say you you will destroy your joystick trigger with this mod

ok, opened a sourceforge account, http://vsbabylon5.sourceforge.net/
A bit empty for now but will come soon

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Thu Aug 28, 2003 1:34 am

a raider one, this day, polycount for this one is a real nightmare (1603 polygons so soon):

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 12:13 am

another baby to shoot, I think I can decrease polycount around 1500 polys, but I will see later

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 12:14 am

and the narn station will come soon, as it has many common parts with this one

Post by **hurleybird** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 5:49 am

wow

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:23 pm

well, it seems I found somebody for python coding, I'm still in discussions with her. with so, and with the number of ships I didn't saw you so far (the little ones, like fighters, little transport, maintenance bots), I think I will be abble to post one or 2 test missions in 1 month. I have many work to do with the universe now, but I found some good galactic maps, the only think which is missing so far is the size of the planets, cannot find anything on the web

Post by **hurleybird** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:26 pm

I cant wait to see the above capital ship in game. It looks to me like the best capital ship ever made for VS yet

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:32 pm

...and the highest polycount

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:33 pm

I have only 3 lod meshes per model, with things like detail texturing I don't think it will be enough

Post by **hurleybird** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:42 pm

Detial texturing would only come in to play if you were very close to the object, it should probably be ok.

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:45 pm

yes, but it should be fun to see many greebles when you are close to a surface, like, in star wars, when X wings attack the death star

Post by **hurleybird** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:53 pm

bump mapping would be good for that too; but at best would probably be at least a year off.

etheral walker · Post by **etheral walker** » Fri Aug 29, 2003 8:58 pm

there is many plugins for good modelers which allow you to draw greebles and convert them to polys, for now I use things like that to create greebled surfaces for closed views and other stuffs. The only pb is the texturing of the producted mesh
