Models by Jorzi (AR)

Thanks, me too
We're currently trying to push forward, finishing some stuff, so that we can finally make an actual release.

[Jorzi]

Pretty much finished the modelling. Experimented with some kind of exhaust pipe thingy at the rear, I think it turned out pretty ok.

[lav_coyote25]

awesome as usual...

[Jorzi]

Thank you
All three hovers lined up for comparison
Heavy hover texture still needs some final touches..

[Jorzi]

Finished the texture, 512x256
I also managed to get better texture filtering as well as hardware antialiasing in blenders viewport.

OOOOO lovely

[PZI]

That Vengeance with the new hover prop looks so sexy right now...

[Jorzi]

Thank you guys
I finally managed to do the repair turret texture this morning.... Used a lot of gradients to get a stainless steel/aluminum look.

[macuser]

Hmm interesting... I think i'll play around with that look on the other models

[Rider]

Can't really pop out for too long without missing out on some great modelling/texturing work. Very cool stuff, pretty much all of it is grade A artwork

I will say though, I suspect the Heavy Hover could use something to make it look a bit more beefy, compared to the medium hover. Maybe make the cylindrical vents protrude more to the front or back (or both) so they get a bit more of that turbine look?

Regardless, they look really good

[Jorzi]

Thank you rider.. I'm not entirely sure what you mean with the cylindrical parts protruding, but since It was an easy thing to do without changing texturing etc. I experimented with a thicker turbine part. What do you think?
Also, finished the light tracks tonight
-normalmapped above, unshaded solid below.

I put together a little render of a repair vehicle with our new models. Credits for the viper go to mangust and olrox

[macuser]

Hmm looks like the tracks and turret are too big for the body

[Jorzi]

I think the problem might be that the original viper model is essentilly just a bounding box of the model from the cutscenes, which means that the more detailed model looks smaller overall, just like it does in the videos.

[macuser]

Well the repair turret is way too big for the back of the body. It is starting to come over the hump even
