Re: Other Kitbash/Conversion WIPs

[Rebelmoon]

More of my current projects. The 2 carriers are unfinished kitbash Warlord models. The corvette is a x-wing alliance ship, not sure of the modeler. The cruiser is a public use model by Burningham Studios AND (V)iSTRFiNGA.

That last one looks too high poly for ingame usage. You'd be better off not using it.

[Rebelmoon]

You're correct, Dr. Nick, as it currently is. Altho it's not as many as it appears. But my goal is to get it down to a usable level, either that or use it as a blueprint for one I'll build myself.

Very nice. Can't wait to see them in-game.

[omega1107]

Same here:)  Is it just me, or is that last ship the same as the diplomatic ship that carried Qui-gon and Obi Wan in the beginning of Ep. 1? Anywho, they look great. 'Grats.

Yeah, it is the same ship from EP1. I've been wanting that ship ingame from the beginning because it's canon, however I'll probably have to build one myself. I attempted to lower the poly count today and is looking like more work than I wanted. We'll see.

 

Now a question, I started an "Otana" YT-2000 Corellian Freighter today and I'm hung up on the location of the cockpit mounted laser & ion cannons. It's also suppose to have dual missile launchers. That, with it's dorsal & ventral quad laser cannons & heavy armor will make this a very fighting ship. Does anyone know exactly how those cockpit guns are set up and mounted & where the missile launchers are located?

 

Here's a render. It's not finished obviously, and it'll have at least one extra LoD, but it's completely mine, not kitbashed, built from scratch. It's just a rough draft really, but it's heading in the right direction.

Also, if anyone has any other pics of the "Otana" other than the ones found at Wookieepedia, I'd appreciate it.

Cool looking freighter. Looks a little like a Balroz freighter. Well, for my contribution of pictures, here I go:

For the next one, the otana is on the bottom left-hand corner.

Sorry about the small size, Google doesn't have any bigger ones. If I find any decent ones, I'll post 'em.

Edit: Ooh! I found another decent one. it shows where one of the quad lasers is.

Thanks Omega! Those will come in very handy. I hadn't seen those last 3.

 

I'm going to assume those dark slits on the port & starboard of the cockpit are where the secondary laser & ion cannons are mounted for now. Plus they'll help on refining the ship as a whole.

 

Thanks again!

You can take very fast this model and textures from the Xwing Alliance game.

[Rebelmoon]

I know  , I just wanted to make a higher poly model than the ones in the x-wing game.

 

While good quality for the times, they're not quite as detailed as what EaW has. I could have just added to it, but sometimes it's easier just to start from scratch.

 

Cheers,

[Warb_Null]

I realy love those models. The top one most of all.

 

There is a lower poly model of the jedi cruiser made for XWA.  maybe you can convert that one.

link : http://www.mtdindustries.com/xwa/

 

you convert a XWA model to .3ds you need this http://www.darksaber.gaylenol.com/archive/files/opt/Opt23DSConverter.exe

OPTto3DS converter tool.

 

PS. there is also a nice Rand ecliptic model on MTD industries. hint, hint  ;D

[omega1107]

Thanks Omega! Those will come in very handy. I hadn't seen those last 3.

You're welcome! I'm glad they helped.

[Nomada_firefox]

I understand your idea to make a new model but I do not see the Xwing Alliance models too bad.

[Rebelmoon]

Nomada_firefox, I didn't mean to suggest they aren't good. They are very decent models, but EaWs models are 10-15 times as detailed as XWAs.

 

An example follows.

 

The "Assassin" Corvette. The 1st pic is the stock model at around 259 polies.

The second is a user made remake of the same corvette at around 4000 polies.

http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/612/acchk9.png

 

Really, there is no comparison. Which one would you say was more detailed and looked the best?

 

However, you're also looking at quite a difference in the graphics technology of then & now.

 

To add that much detail to one of those models is possible, but in some cases it's just as easy to start from scratch.

 

But to be honest, I just wanted to make my own.

 

Warb_Null, thanks for the site link! I'll check it out.

 

Cheers,

 

Rebelmoon

[Rebelmoon]

Cool, that link is a treasure trove of quality models! All perfect for EaW.

 

Especially the Republic Cruiser! I'm also going to have to find a place for the Arc-100 & the Viper MK1. lol. 

 

I've downloaded several for conversion. That Rand Ecliptic is a monster Star Destroyer with 4 internal open fighterbays.

 

I'll convert them but I'll have to get permision from MTD before I release them as there are no "terms of use" that I can find there.

 

Thanks again Warb_Null.

 

Cheers,
