i'm taking a look at the list of all the vessels, i noticed that almost all of the ships listed has no description..

if I could pick one to work at, then pretty much it could get the work done a little faster.

however, I have no skills in UV mapping or skilling. but if someone can lend me a hand on the second part, that would be sort of cool.

i'm getting the hang of wings3d so one day, I would may work on one of them vessels on the super large list.

sounds good, i can UVW map things,

talk to jacks about the ships design as he's the head story and stuff man.

have fun :O)

Yeah.. descriptions for the list of ships are somewhat demand loaded at the moment, and may experience paging effects if they aren't in the appropriate tier of my mental state

Let me know what you'd like to work on, and I can give you something to work with.

awsome..

i'll send jack a pm soon on what I want to work on.. it won't be too many.

as 4 now, the vessel models are in .wings format. all the hard edges has been marked to smooth the vessel properly. right now, the models are not smoothed but if you think my models needs some tweaking, before going on with the UC/skinning progress, then feel free to do so.

i'm just trying to simply just getting a few models need to make in vegastrike fiction to be completed so I and every can see a picture of it!

so when I'm tottaly finished with the model, I'll send it to tykeil or someone who does the default metal penal texturing for vegastrike..

believe me, i don't own photoshop and currently on a very slow computer for the time being.

No teasers/eyecandy?

Contilliwee · Post by **Contilliwee** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 8:52 pm

teasers... eyecandy.. dunno..

but the polies of the vessel models, are approx 600-1000 polies when smoothed.

k here are my first attempts for a space vessel.. learned some of the techniques from another person.

mostly interceptors.

Nice! The first one reminds me strongly of H.E. Day's stuff, it should fit right in as a standard-issue confed ship. The second one is nice and proud looking, might make a good high-born vessel.

The third image (back of the second ship, I take it) seems a bit... lopsided. It might just be the perspective.

i really like them, very elegant with low poly's

it will be a easy to unwrap them

those two ships are supposed to be the mechanist interceptors.

anyways, see you in a few hours while work occupies me!

TyKeiL · Post by **TyKeiL** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 12:02 am

have fun at work

if you want me to unwrap them and give them back or pass them on, email the dev mailing list with them and i can get them that way

im sure once there happily uvw'd and stuff someone will put them in cvs

Halleck · Post by **Halleck** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 12:46 am

Make that uvw'ed and textured.

Contilliwee · Post by **Contilliwee** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 2:47 am

how about i pm you the message with the url for the models?

i do have a web space.

my connection is too slow to do anything.

The craft as they stand are not actually in line with what is desired for Mechanist craft. Descriptions of the two mechanist interceptors have been sent via PM.

Please post those descriptions somewhere public. They should be a lot of help even if you're designing another ship from the same faction.

could you put in in the wiki? like under an art style guide

not a complete art style guide or anything just something temporary.

even if my ships are not supposed to be merchant class, i'm going to submit them anyways and you guys can do whatever you guys wish to do.

originally, they are still starfighters.

Halleck · Post by **Halleck** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 10:34 pm

In that case, I still say generic confed and high-born, respectively.
