WCS: Confed Legacy Venture Class COMPLETED (I THINK)

WCS: Confed Legacy Venture Class

Well after 3 months(bout 3 days actual modelling time) i finally finished(most of it today, especially the major portions(guns, cockpit, engines, fuselage, (get my drift)) all i lack right now is the textures, this'll give me a chance to tinker with Deep Paint 3D and Deep UV for lightwave... hopefully if everything goes as scheduled i'll have a textured venture out next week

take high notice of the detail on the guns, i originally choose to do Octogonal to get a more roundish look, but went to a hex shape for Poly count reasons

Here are the Specs on it
2240 Points
1740 Polygons
i do still however need to go hunt and pick for those Unseen polys so i can get rid of them, also as with any HWorHW2 model i'll need to make LOD's (levels of Detail)

got a few messages asking just what in the world did i base this on "it doesn't look like what i've seen before"
well its cause its based on this

[Tolwyn]

good god ... are you using lightwave?

 

[Eder]

Well, judging from that screenshot, it sure looks like he is

 

[StarSaint]

something wrong with lightwave?

 

[t.c.cgi]

Aside from the stretched look of the fusalage, it looks good.

 

[StarSaint]

well considering i was going solely by the schematic i think its very close to what it looks like in that schem...

but then again i've noticed diferences in the blueprints and whats in game...

 

[StarSaint]

v1.1

well i've given up on Deep Paint 3D, seems to be harder than normal texturing..
so i did up these textures in about 5 mins(DEFANTLY SHOWS!)

but to get a idea what is done, the mesh is finished i just gotta refine down the textures...

dag nabbit i thought i had the mesh finished, theres pylons from the guns to the main hull i'm missing, should have it fixed later

 

[ChanceKell]

Looks true to the original specs, and even the untextured mesh looks all too familiar.

I wish I could make pretty ships but I have a short attention span.....what was that again.....*blinks* oh yeah pretty ships

 

[StarSaint]

heh heres v2 of the textures

btw vin i have Attention Deficit Disorder... cant get much worse than that...

[Tolwyn]

looks very nice. I like it. And as said above it is very close to the original blueprints

Now it only needs better textures

 

[StarSaint]

heh i have no artistic talents when it comes to textures

i can make basic textures and specialised textures but general/hull/armor textures just baffle me

 

[StarSaint]

Venture Class V1.0

I personally think its finished short of shaving polys and making high poly parts low poly..

*AHEM* Poly count will go down when i start shaving polys(right now the guns, turrets, and engines are 1000 polys)


*NOTE* it's not that rough around the edges (screenshot program does that, dont ask me why)

 

[TC]

If you rendered it instead of taking pictures of the viewpanes it'd look a bunch prettier

 

[StarSaint]

ok hows this

i think i need to turn down the textures a bit(make'm a bit darker"
