wrathofachilles · « **on:** February 15, 2005, 04:43:05 pm »

Been offline for sometime and was/am still having trouble with 3d max on my system but I got enough time to put this together. I found a design on my system and from the amount of detail on it I am pretty sure it's Azel's. Bit of a problem is I only have the above view of the thing and therfor no idea about depth or underneath details. If anyone has other views or knows where to get them please let me know.

Only 4000 polies give or take 100 so I can make a few additions. I am only posting an above view for now, If you want more I'll post tomorrow. oh and it's untextured

Also, Anyone got a Name, did Azel name this?

also I will add the original design, please note this is Azel's sketch.

Reminds me of a bird-bat hybrid or something like that. Something Batman would have if he had the resources to build a starship. Interesting design nonetheless.

OH SWEEEEEEEET!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

That has got to be one of the sweetest Reman Ships Ever! I can’t wait to add this one to the game. Azel, awesome design as usual! Hey wrathofachilles, ever think about making a Scimitar?

fotopic, which is what I use, is superior. More space and bandwidth. Direct linking is slightly less, but not that big a deal and it's free. Plus it's ftp upload and email upload and browser upload even cell phone upload. Basicly ya got more toyz.

Chris Johnson · « **Reply #7 on:** February 16, 2005, 01:47:40 am »

Photobucket still works fine for me. I never had trouble with it because it's easy to use, and I don't display overly-big pictures. However, I will consider it, so thanks.

Thanks, I used a sub site of photobucket that you dont need to sign up for. It seems to work fine.

I'll get the textures done soon.

Also isn't there already and SFC scimitar?

BTW, you don't need a place to host images if you just want to post pics...attach them to your post with "Additional Options".

SFLetoAtreides · « **Reply #14 on:** February 16, 2005, 12:13:42 pm »

Holy Cow! That ship looks awesome! Definitely let us know when you plan on releasing it!

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2005, 12:18:58 pm »

ummm, as far as I know Azel's other Reman stuff is pre-Tos and already done by the man himself. I have some nice Rom's I'm considering but, and Azel will back me up here, I'm kind of useless when it comes to dedicating to particular models.... just my way.

As for a release. Texture with lightmaps will be done in maybe a week or two, Someone will have to convert if they want it though, I have never done SFC convertions.

Tus-XC · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2005, 12:21:58 pm »

what proggy do u use for modelin?

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #17 on:** February 16, 2005, 12:23:16 pm »

3dsmax

Azel · « **Reply #18 on:** February 16, 2005, 12:28:46 pm »

WoA, the ship is called Scythe

Tus-XC · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2005, 02:17:47 pm »

which version, as if you have 4.0 or 5.0 you can export easily (but you will need to detatch your smoothing groups to the mesh...) just use the plugin, i tink its in the dled section

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2005, 02:24:12 pm »

3dsmax 5.0. all mesh is separate but I'll cut all smoothing and group by texture then smooth the entire sections.

dbdbdb · « **Reply #21 on:** February 16, 2005, 04:22:36 pm »

This design is on the money, awesome creative model.

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #22 on:** February 16, 2005, 04:57:48 pm »

well I can't take any credit for the creativity, that's all Azel's. As for the accuracy I pretty much copy each panel piece by piece, so no claim to skill in that department. I am using a mix of the sketched details and screenshots of the Scimitar from Nemesis to create the texture.

Scythe it is

this may help...unless you already go it:

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #24 on:** February 16, 2005, 05:20:31 pm »

that definately helps, at least with my perspective, I seem to have got the body height just right. the two... err tails I guess need thinning and so do the wings. The texture I aint started yet

glad for the picture though, thanks

Azel · « **Reply #25 on:** February 16, 2005, 05:37:01 pm »

np...least I can do...but you should post your pics before you tweak it....it may be better

Reverend · « **Reply #26 on:** February 16, 2005, 06:35:20 pm »

Oh, man, what do I say?!? Thank you man, thank you! I have love this design for what, a year old is it? That render looks wonderous, please keep them coming!

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #27 on:** February 18, 2005, 03:32:38 pm »

Sorry, hard week at work. I am gonna texture or at least start texturing tomorrow so feedback is needed, I am right about the wings needing to be thinner though aren't I?

Azel · « **Reply #28 on:** February 18, 2005, 06:21:32 pm »

Impressive...he can make remans...lol
Awesome!!!
ok I say don't thin out the wings by where they attach to the hul I Like that

)l...just thin them out towards the tips...in an incrimental
aspec...If you could make the wing arc lower and more swept down...if you can
and if you could, raise and seperate the 2 tail pods off of the hull (like the simitar...its on of the very few aspects I liked on the
design)

Sweetness! I agree with Azel on this, (well it's his design

) But I love it! I can't wait to see some texture on this sucker.

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #31 on:** February 19, 2005, 06:49:50 am »

ok, hows this? wings are more pointed and swung a fair bit lower, casts a better profile now. tails have been raised and thinned at the end and have added the lower support beneath them. pointing the wings took polies so it's at 4500 now

Azel · « **Reply #32 on:** February 19, 2005, 08:44:45 am »

looks great...but do you have a dead on front veiw???
That will totally help

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #33 on:** February 19, 2005, 09:15:17 am »

sure but she isn't much to look at from the front

Azel · « **Reply #34 on:** February 19, 2005, 11:53:41 am »

Aye so I see...lol
the angle is perfect you might want to pop on 2 weapon pods under the part of the wing that is horizontal
ummm try something like this: look at the top left sketch...see the weapon pods hanging down???

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #35 on:** February 20, 2005, 01:08:18 am »

Very cool idea............Mega disruptors !!!!!!!!!!!

Sandman3D · « **Reply #36 on:** February 20, 2005, 01:33:13 am »

HA my Klingon fleet will laugh at it then cloack and run home and get more ships, then come back and laugh some more and ask the federation for help, which inturn will laugh at the klingons which will then self destruct near this reman "WarBat" in hope of winning

I'm getting a mental pic of Monty Python........" RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY !!!! "

wrathofachilles · « **Reply #38 on:** February 20, 2005, 05:49:55 am »

Ouch! Lol you guys must really want the dreadnought to say that.

but no need, I am going to finish it. I am just waiting for Azel to ok the design before I texture (none of this is going ahead until he's happy cause that'll mean I've got it right) and send to whoever wishes to convert. However I'll be glad to send the Mesh to Azel for safekeeping if he wishes.

I think I did the disruptors wrong but here it is with disruptors....

WHOOT WHOOT! lol ok, I am at work now but will make a start tonight, FW I will send you the mesh along with some others I have done if thats ok, I'll just add you to msn and we can discuss it better.

Reverend · « **Reply #41 on:** February 20, 2005, 09:11:50 am »

That is astounding! Do you think it possible to think about making some of Azel's other Rom ships, after this gets completed? Not tryin to overshoot, but you've done a marvelous job on this monster, and I and many othr just love these other designs!
Either way, excellent work!!

Greenvalv · « **Reply #44 on:** February 20, 2005, 01:16:56 pm »

Um, the middle of the wings could use some thinning, but other than that it's excellent!! Even before it's completed I'd give it a 9/10.

Well I am sorry, I just got reminded about this through a pm on armadafleetcommand. Real life got in the way then I pretty much forgot

I am doing some urgent romulan stations for a freind then I am on it, I am feeling kinda embarrassed here.

On a side not apologies to The outlance guys and Azel in particular, I haven't been on that messenger in months, please dont think I blocked you or anything as I enjoyed talking to you, simply a bit of a hectic time for me.
