Inspired by the Buck Godot in Outworld - I built the Spongetta - I've not doing anything with it - and I don't have the time or inclination to do so, but if anybody does want to, there's a link to the zip of the files in my box account in that thread.

Just a bit of fun really... (nice shape for docking though!)

Wow!

Not sure it's a Python, but I love it!
It's a Griff python with two ginormous engines welded on: aka a Python ET Special. And it looks great. :)
Will it have Griff style random skin colours?

I'm presuming you're not referring to my post which you've posted directly underneath... :wink:

absolutely right, however, seeing as this poor computer cannot handle shaders I cannot make the random skin colours possible, however, due to some clever texture unwraping on my part it can use a normal griff python texture, so theoretically I can release a random-colour hull version...

Pretty cool! Just one question. Could you please tell me where "a link to the zip of the files in my box account in that thread" is? I haven't been around here for long and I haven't yet got every thread memorized. :)

A quick search leads here.

Thank you, I haven't yet learned how to find stuff in the phpBB search. I always get crazy results, not related to what I want to find. I need to spend for time working on it.

Ah, neat! I remember someone linking to this a while back, but I couldn't figure out how to get it working with Chromium. But I've recently switched to Firefox (now my computer doesn't overheat and turn off if I watch a Flash video) and it works rather nicely!

Awesome. I might even make the BB search my default...

Even without the plug-in (which is useful and very convenient) - you can type something like the following directly into Google:

Code: Select all

site:aegidian.org/bb/ "Python ET Special"
And it'll work - however, Google seems to be quite slow - even though there's a Google[bot] on this thread right now and I made my first reference to "Spongetta" two days ago - it still doesn't pull up a single hit...

True enough, although I never remember what to type, and this saves me from having to learn (and type) it! Also, I'll remember where recent things are, so they aren't a problem to locate. (I try to keep track of most things posted here eventually.)

still plugging away at this overcomplicated cobraIII, I had to angle the screen shot to hide all the unfinished bits and brighten it up in photoshop so it wasn't just a muddy grey rectangle with a muddier triangle ship on it :lol:

It's looking good though Griff... I'd like one as soon as it's done, please.

Great ship. Your shipset sure is detailed. Too bad it slows my framerate to twelve (until I get in a fight, then the framerate is 2). Need to try it again. Last time, I had 100 other OXPs, so this time it should work.
