Proposed Model for Forsaken Jackal

Post by Oblivion »

The Jackal is supposed to be an interceptor, but seeing Hyena, I thought of making it a bit more versatile. And proposing that the Forsaken Interceptor be named Fennec instead (i.e. Hyena becomes Fennec). Because Hyenas are not memebers of the Dog family, and it seems forsaken fighters are named after dogs and allies.

So here's the renders:(For pirate only, Forsaken ships will have different textures)

Nothing, really, just making a shoot for Star Wars... err.. Vega Strike.

BTW: Textures are still WIP. especially the cockpit.

Just as an FYI, if you peruse the below Forsaken names, I think that it will become clear that the naming scheme has to do with "culinary habits" rather than a dog alliance.

Scarab (shuttle, assault shuttle variants)
Catfish (bulk freight, or modified as carrier)
Hyena (Utility Fighter)
Jackal (Interceptor)
Vulture (Corvette)
Crayfish (Gunboat)
Raven (Superiority Fighter)
Condor (Frigate)
Hagfish (Forsaken Space-Marine Boarding craft)

Me being picky: the textures are a bit blurry - is there a way to fix that? It's not useful to have hi-res pictures if they're blurry...

(otherwise great job though)

I'm picky too. :D And I really hate what my home-made textures look like afterwards. ;) Still learning...

@jackS. ;) Yeah, I realized it after I got home. I assumed it was canines, because I've only seen the hyena ingame. And coming across the jackal, I thought this was so.

But lo, it was not. Thus, my proposition deletes itself. :wink:

This model's dead. I've also given up on ever making it look nicer. :D
