Well - I can just slip this into a basic oxp, or add shaders.pagroove wrote:Hi Simon B Very very Cool!!!Thank you for making this ship :)
Did you thought of the specs this ship has?
O and do you have a download link?
stats - you designate it as a fighter/trader - if I make it a bit bigger than an asp, could manage mamba performance with a bit of cargo space for commodity speculation?
Or perhaps you want something the size of a salamander?

Get it while its hot.

I've hacked together the standard neolite shaders with this - but I have included the wings file in case someone wants to do something sophisticated with it.
Enjoy.
[edit] tested the shaders - stands up well.
Also - if you use a normalmap which does not register - then the game uses the no-texture map, which results in the model reflecting lots of light when facing away from the sun.

been taking a trawl through Pardus and some of the fan art is quite spectacular. From a modelling point of view that is:

Shader test complete.

normalmaps work better if the lower parts are also darker, and matt - otherwise I get a height-flipping effect if I rotate the model. I had to flip-y in the gimp normalmap plugin to get the right sense in this shot though.
I'll upload the revised oxp by Tuesday.

The last half of the week I had a busy RL so I still wasn't able to grab it
But this looks cool!

A bit inspired from the Titanic idea from Jazhaz. Xexedi Class. Even longer than an Aurora at 5000m length.

Hi Simon I like the Starsoarer but could you implement this cockpit? It's a bit more like the concept while maintaining respect for your Neolite redesign.

I finally made a quick concept in Wings3D of the Roc-ship. It's mostly an exercise of the "extrude" function.Pluisje wrote:I had the idea of a flock of ships based on birds. In the line Crow (escort) - Raven (hauler) - Roc (mothership)

The tail would be the docking port.
(It does look very Klingon now I look at it a day later.)
