Okay, I've been playing this 'ere kickass mod for a week now and I'm thinking, as always "mayhap I can find a decent texturer guy/gal who can make my dream of piloting me own fighter come true"... well, the only problem is, what I started as a fighter turned into a TRAIN: Not that I'm displeased with results... this baby, which I call "Mongoose" (lol, tiny rodent), has a somewhat Antonov-in-space feeling to it - big, bulky, able to carry a lot from point A to point B and stay in one piece, that…

(Quote from Skariah)Thank you, kind lady! Now, if I could only figure out how to send messages and attach ZIP files to them... drat What I had in mind for the looks of this thing is somehting simplistic, yet shiny - everyone loves shiny, I bet people who fly trains would love something like this: The only problem is, I didn't use MAX in a loooong time and I got to re-learn even how to re-apply materials.

Well, since Unwrap UVW repeatedly made my ATI Radeon... go berzerk (that's the closest I can describe what happened last ten times) I've applied materials and did the UV mapping the only way I know how - directly. I've also managed to tone down the number of polys a bit (under 23k now), and here's what it looks like now: Note that the protrusions in the front, on the lower part of the cabin, aren't for flight controls - they are actyally PYLONS, for 2 class 10 weapons each (top and bottom surfa…

Made an effort to cut down poly count to something reasonable (for low-detail smooth objects); last thing I made out of jealousy** has just over 3300 polygons but after some work I've cut it down to under 1400. It looks a lot bulkier than I thought it would, ironically. ** asfor the jealousy bit - I've downloaded the Shattered Worlds mod some time ago, and I fell flat on my butt when I saw the "Warmonger" ship model, that looks a lot like Vengeance, but even slimmer and more streamlined.
