View Full Version : Random Spacecraft
Howard Day 10-09-2003, 08:37 AM Howdy, guys! For those of you who don't know, I'm currently working as the lead artist at Tesseraction Games (www.warfleet.net, www.naval-combat.com) But that's not why I'm here.
This is:

The above is a work in progress. it's about 80% complete. more pics:

It uses just 3 maps - diffuse, spec, and glow.
The Polycount stands at 1500K
Here's it's human counterpart - complete:

The Polycount stands at 2100K
And they both us only 1Kx1K textures.
Anyhow, the idea is to create a a fun mod for a free, opensource engine called Vegastrike (http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/) made by a friend of mine.
Enjoy!

I like the design of the second craft.
The first one could use some more work on the back of the craft. Seems a bit bland.

I agree, the first one looks like it needs a bit of work.
That gloww is awesome, though...reminds me of the fragment program they run on damn near everything in Tron 2.0

Great stuff . Yes the first space shipe has awesome design very alien like . I specialy like the colors and the glow style . But the textures need some work . You should try to make metal/organic like textures it would fit the alien style and technology .
the second ship has very ql design , and I love the textures . But something tells me it doesn't look real . try adding some grain and noise into them , and dirty them a little bit .
I would also like to se the wirefarme of ships . Great work though , keep them coming .

I really like the second ship, but i wont lie im not keen on the first ship, for only one reason tho, and that is who the hell decided all alien craft have to be purple its only happened in the last few years.
come on admit it who is it. Well other than that looking good :)

Hey, these look really nice. The texture on the human ship seems a little bland to me, the colors are very subdued. Maybe you could brighten them up slightly or at least bump up the contrast a little to make it "pop" a little more.

Warhawk:I'll post the wireframe when I get home - none of these are very complicated.
Baaah: You're absolutely right. I'll change it pronto. :D be a litle more creative with the color scheme.
And I will play around a bit with the human's colors - but keep in mind, I don't want it to "pop" too much.
Thanks for all the comments!
i assume you mean 1500 polys and 2500, because 2500k polys would be 2.5 million polys :p
but i love the design on the second one, although i think that the first dosent really need a new texture, although it might turn out better so i dunno :p great job either way :)

I think the new images are a lot better. The first ship looks good but the second one doesn't look quite right, it either needs to be shinier (if its new) or dirtier (if its old)...its in between right now and I think it should look like one or the other.

Looks awesome . I love the alien style . the yellow glow fits perfectly into alien style . Also the wires have a little more defined highlights maybe becouse of the contrast between the ship and glow.
The second ship is also better , it looks much more defined and sharp edged . Defenetly better . The wires are great . Kepp it up .
