Oolite Bulletins

Thanks. They're the latest twinned Ferris Mk III thrusters with fully integrated Q-Injectors. Hopefully the Cheetah hull can take the strain of those two beauties firing at full throttle. Back to the original ships now, with the Moray Star Boat up next... http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-...

Thanks. The most leeway for redesign when keeping to the original wiremesh models as much as possible seems to be the engines but I think they may look a little bland otherwise, especially when comparing to the likes of Griff's models. Still early days though - hopefully some nice skins and lighting...

A few more... starting with the basic Adder: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Adder_1.png http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Adder_2.png The Cobra Mk I: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Cobra_MkI_1.png http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/...

Ha yes the original wireframe mesh for the Fer-de-Lance is an ugly shape. Doesn't really scream slick bounty hunter at all. Not sure mine does either... may go back to it later and see if I can make it less cluttered.

Thanks Maik. The Fer-de-Lance... http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Fer-de-Lance_1.png http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Fer-de-Lance_2.png http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Fer-de-Lance_3.png http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-N...

The Mamba in racing red...

Thanks, quite happy with how the Hyena turned out. No skins yet, just basic Wings3D face colouring to help differentiate the hull / engines etc. Next up, the Viper and Viper Interceptor, with police lights. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Vipers_1.png http://i34.photobucket.co...

Hi folks, As I mentioned in the Show and Tell, I have decided to start my own thread for revealing my various works in progress. To start off with, here are some thumbnails linked to pictures of the ship I am calling the Hyena Class Escort. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/th_Hyen...

Interesting... a new take on the Eagle Mk 4 long-range fighter? Wings3D is proving addictive. I've got lots of models in the works now... Besides the already showcased Lifepod, Sidewinder, Thargoid Invasion Ship and Drone, I've now got - Thargoid Warship, Q-Bomb, Fer-de-Lance, Dodo Station, and a fe...

Cool saucer. Almost triangular... which reminds me somewhat of one of the saucers back in the X-Files. A quick internet search led me to this: http://godssecret.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/2526/ Whilst on the topic of saucers... the Thargoids have been busy... http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Min...

Thanks guys. The Sidewinder has (after triangulation) 868 faces, 432 vertices. Hopefully this isn't too high for rendering in game!

The Sidewinder Scout Ship can carry just the one missile.

Still working on the small end of the object scales, currently in the WIP (or Faulcon de Lacy R&D) phase... The famous Faulcon de Lacy HM3 Homing Missile... http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Mini-Nukette/Missile.png And the Faulcon de Lacy Sidewinder... http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d12...

Thanks for the welcome maik. Apologies for the double post in the other thread, after I confirmed my first above and it didn't appear on the forum thought I had made a mistake. On the second post, realised that a moderator has to veto it - first time I've seen that on a bulletin board. :) I've got a...

Hi folks, I've been lurking here a little while (been a fan of Elite since back in the days of the BBC Micro) and recently decided to try out Wings3d. After some trial and error and some useful howto's on this forum I have managed to texture my first model. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/Min...
