[Model] Transporter

[egore911]

Hi guys.

I always wanted to contribute to Vegastrike but I lack the programming skills and the artistic skills. Nontheless I made a model of a Transporter. It's inpiried by a turtle (a bit like the one from Pratched).

C&C welcome.

Image and Model no longer available.

I like it. Looks like it would fly like a turtle as well.

This is a good start, but it's probably too low-poly to be accepted into Vega Strike proper. Feel free to add it to your local copy of the game if you want.

(I do this sometimes for fun and practice- past escapades have included a bizzare capship, a 50's-style rocket ship, and a spaceballs-esque volvo.)

Sorry, I forgot to say that's a WIP. I started it yesterday an will improve it. I will also try to texture it. But I REALLY suck at texturing.

Anyone has a goot texturing tutorial?

[Halleck]

None come to mind- perhaps there's one in the manual. I'm planning on writing one soon for WikiBooks though.

Nice start! I can't wait until you finish it up.

Here's a tool that generates metal hull textures:

Here are two pages with texturing tips for Vega Strike:

You can also look on this page for howtos on how to create a ship:

Hey... that bizarre capship has a very neat design.
Who knows... perhaps it can serve as concept art for somebody to do a proper model?

I suppose so. If you want the model, look no further than the latest elite strike patch.

(It's a bit of an easter egg.)
