Topic: Yep.......EDF Yamato right here

[Atrahasis]

I'm still finalizing some details on it, but that's basically it. I'm probably gonna make a winged version as well. Cool eh?

[sandman69247]

Now THAT'S fricken AWESOME!!! What's the poly count? Looks pretty high w/ all the detail. Great work!  

[Desty_Nova]

Did you say Cool?

OMG that ship is way past COOL  . ..

*wipes up the drool from keyboard!

its AwEsOmE!  

[EmeraldEdge]

Too cool.  Can't wait to get it in game.  

[Julin Eurthyr]

Drool... Drool... Drool...

I'll come back once I pick my jaw up off the floor (which may be next week...)

[Deacon211]

Really beautiful A.  I dropped about $200 for a model of that baby from Hong Kong.  My favorite (almost) ship.

I'm going to pre-emptively ask you ALL to forgive me:

It does seem the Japanese are still fixated on WWII!

Oh, what was that, fellas?  Oh, sorry...

... nice ship, Atra!

[Lord Schtupp]

Awesome!

Yep, they are. It's ok thoug, cause the Yamato looks really cool.

I played it in-game with specs I made up, and it's quite interesting against Trek ships. I'm gonna think up some specs for the enemy ships and try it. The Yamato has over 20 missile / torpedo launchers, so it is quite the wicked drone ship. I'm gonna make the Yamato's fighters and shuttle now.  

[EmeraldEdge]

sweetness.  I'm workin' on some of the enemy ships now (although I don't have the textures done for the other EDF ships I've done, because I don't know what they look like.  Can't find anything other than the schematics for some of them.  May just have to make it up, based on other ships).  Of course mine won't look as glorious as yours does.  

[Atrahasis]

The first enemy project I'll be doing is that little Gamilon destroyer.......I don't suppose you have that meshed already, do you?

In fact, would you like to send me the EDF ships you've meshed but haven't textured yet? I might be able to do them.....only if that's OK with you though of course.

[EmeraldEdge]

Heh, actually I was working on the Gamilon Exterminator Destroyer, but there are others.  Let me know which you are feeling like you want to do.  I can always alter it into another version, like the Eradicator or something.  I'll pack up the few I've done so far, if you'd like to take a whack at the textures.  Having never seen the series and working off so few pics of anything other than a couple of ships, it's kind of tough.  I was gettin' to the point where I was just going to look at the pics that I had and make the rest up.  

[Atrahasis]

Right now, I'm going to do all the EDF fighters:

Black Tiger

Cosmo Zero

Cosmo Tiger (and variants, including the torpedo one)

Cosmo Hound (shuttle)

Plus that little Gamilon Detsroyer. Also the Gamilon Tri-Deck Carrier. I figure we need at least those ships in order to have a satisfying shoot-out.

What did the Gamilon fighter look like?

[Atrahasis]

Here's the Black Tiger, the main fighter from Series 1:



It's only 106 poly!

That old cartoon series is beginning to look more real now.....

[Smiley]

Groovy  

[Kaenyne]

"Cool"? Whatdayamean, "Cool"?

That ship is jaw-droppin', eyes bulgin', faint inducing AWESOME!!!

Me want Argo!

And you just GOTTA do the new generation version of this bird! You just gotta!

[Atrahasis]

The Gamilon Destroyer is meshed! This is the most important Gamilon ship, imo, because it is the main cannon fodder for the Yamato. This ship should be rushing the Yamato in packs in a large group, but the Yamato should try to keep distance and pick them off at long range. If it's specced correctly you can have them blowing up after one ream from the Yamato's main shock turrets.
