(FINISHED)Proposed Model for Rlaan Cargo Transport Shenzong

Post by Oblivion »

Rlaan Cargo Transport/Tanker Shenzong

Ok, made this in about 12 hours. :wink: It was a holiday yesterday so, got to thinking about ships again. :P

It's all ready if it's acceptable, I've already tested them ingame, there seems to be problems with my UV-mapping (some UV seams are visible), it has a lot to do with the way 3dsmax unwraps things, that is MESSILY.

The meshes, textures, hud sprites, etc will come later if you want it, but then my 10mb quota has been reached for attachments, I don't know how to upload the other stuff, :(

Here are the pre-renders

Okay, Ingame shots, you can see the UVW seams I was talking about (the pink squiggly lines).

BTW: I think all Rlaan ships should forego the spec mapping. I tried piloting the lodur for a while to see its size, well, it was too shiny.

Anyway, here they are (the hud image didn't work in the shots because I mistyped it in the sprite file. :oops:, and don't mind the turrets, they were for lodur's vertices, so they kinda float atm :wink: )

Yeah, it looks like a bumble bee carrying pollen. :D
I love it.
But I'm not sure if the continers should really glow. Some of those triangles can certainly be merged without risking a corners in the outline.

If the containers do not glow the model would look boring somehow. I think it is good as it is... Ok, I can't say I love it, because I don't like the design (but that's just me, u know), but I can still say, "You did a damn good job, Oblivion - again!"

Very organic, and personally I like the glowy balls... makes it seem all the more alien, because humans would never do that.

I'll see what I can do. :D

@Stakhanov

:lol: I'm not human... i think... :wink:

@everybody. Thanks a lot. And well... the glowy balls were actually my first idea. The cicada shape of the ship just grew around (partly from lack of textures, partly from laziness, :wink: ), my first idea was a sort of caterpillar with spheres clutched in legs, but, darn, the textures wouldn't cover that at all. :P

Shit. Does anyone have a copy of this model?

I think Oblivion had to get rid of his due to lack of harddrive space, and the link is gone due to bitrot. Anyone grab it while it was up?

I'd be mad at myself for not grabbing this when you posted it, but I was on hiatus from VS at the time. :?

I'm hoping a random passerby might have grabbed a copy, as the other devs seemed to have lost it.

The good news is that jackS and I are looking in to getting a fileserver for artists to use so this won't happen in the future.

I FOUND IT!!!

Seems like i backed up some ships on the laptop.

Also the Gaozong Drone :P !

The skate is still hopeless tho. Anyway, Halleck, i'll email stuff to you later. Ill try to post links here too. PLEASE PLEASE don't lose this this time.

Also, sorry for the essential noobishness of the recycled texture and the unoptimized model of both the ships. :wink: I'm not ashamed to admit I was still a noob then. :lol:

(Also note that the dmg map red. this was a proposal i had then for all rlaan ships to turn red when damaged instead of showing scorch marks. :P if it doesnt look good then trash it and make a damage map with good old burns :) )

Anyways, here goes:
