Title: A little something while we wait
Post by: OlBuzzard on December 04, 2004, 12:34:07 am

JOKER is on the road ...  and it's been a while since he's been able to do an update.  As far as I know he has just about finished the mesh ..  and has done an excellent job.  I volunteered to do a little paint by numbers ( if ya catch my drift).

 sooooo  here is what I've came up with so far in his absence.  My first attempt at this.  It's not cut and paste ... all done by hand ... etc

Please note the following:
1.  Yes ..  you are right ....  for the most part there are no windows (I'm having a bit of a struggle with the appropriate technique to get all of the windows in ... in all of the right places.  Pardon the pun...  but:  " I don't do windows"  ... ::)

2.  There are several rookie mistakes just yet. ( ie:  a couple of escape pod sections that are not lined up as they should be)

3.  The roll bar (though completed from a top view on a separate sheet) has been removed as it would be on a normal texture sheet for the hull.

Appropriate and useful criticism would be appreciated.

thanks

Sorry .... it's the Advanced Attack Cruiser .. (there is also an ADD to complement it).  There is a WIP in the appropriate section of the modeling forum.  I'll post some of the comparison stuff below to give you a better idea of the model.

JOKER is finishing up the model and the textures.  ( I don't have any of the programs to do the mesh ... or the applications of the textures: he does.  Soooo..  I volunteered to help.  What you see here is some of the work I've done to help with the texturing.  ( My first attempt at this sort of thing ... ).  I have no idea how good or bad this is working out so far.  Shurely he will have to make some "adjustments" in order to make it all work out.  But,  maybe some of it can be used ( I hope).  Also, you will note that there are multiple suggestions on a given subject.  Frankly I'm not sure if JOKER will use any of this stuff.  But I thought it would be ok to post it and see feed back I could get ...  good or bad.

again ...  if ya spot those normal rookie mistakes and have some suggestions as to how to improve....   that would be appreciated.

ie:  making a new style or type of hull plating.  ( I know how to make larger sections of it..  but as you can see my attempt to make a new one leaves something to be desired)

thanks

Thanks guys ...  I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions on how to improve the hull plating ???

Or is this just something ya have to develop via the University of HardKnocks ???
