The other two…

#229

This thing is sweet!

Is there any news on the space station that someone was building?

#230

Texture update.

Also started smoothing out alot of the geomety and adding alot more depth in detail.


#231

I know, it’s been a very long time… sorry about that. But, I’m back now, and have started texturing the viper - I hope it will be done soon. Sorry about the long delay, hope this project is still on…

#232

Viper is looking great Nighttrain,

I love the scratch effects on the red stripe. It might be worth moving some of those bullet holes around, they seem far to uniform and close for a glancing hit.

Also, gotta wonder (even dispite how great it looks) wasn’t this battlegroup supposed to be with new ships on their test flights… so wouldn’t there a be a new paint job to match?

still looks great, hope to see more from the others. Been checking Titan and Vanguard over on 3DSM progress over all looks great!

#233

To get the wear&tear effects - the scratches, the dirt, the paint chips - I’m actually using several materials with masks between them. Getting a “clean” viper is a ludicrously simple task with such a system - a simple matter of clicking a few checkboxes. So, if the clean viper is needed, it won’t present a problem. Still, at the timeframe of this animation, the mkII is old - we do have mkVIIs in it. But it does seem logical they’d clean it and give it a new paint job…
As for the “bulletholes”, they’re a recent addition, and I’m still contemplating on tweaking them or losing them alltogether. It’s more of an experiment at this stage…

#234

:smiley: glad to hear. Again, i’m really impressed regardless. Any idea how the rest is getting on?

I am in continued Awe and Bitter Envy at 1of33’s Titan and Vanguard seems to be nearing done.

Not seen much of Sirius or the shipyard lately. Did gonkdroid ever finish his?

Just noticed this thread seemed to slow lately. Would hate to see such an awsome project die. Mebby i’m just being the impatient fan… spoiled for quality by work so far.

#235

Looking great NightTrain
really getting there now

#236

good to see we’re back on this. I was forced to sell my pc hence the lack of updates, however I am buying a new one in a few weeks so expect this to be in full swing again.

#237

This is… an amazing thread. i am blown away… wow.

#238

Updates on the Titan





#239

Vast amount of great work going on here.
Definitely some major eye candy.

#240

Looking great, Michael. I have to recover my HDD with the Sirius before I can continue… Also I need a new PC. I dont have a PC anymore :frowning: I had to sell it due to some MAJOR financial issues. Cash gifts are always welcome :slight_smile: (Wishful thinking?)

aepceo1@yahoo.com incase you do feel like sharing a bit of wealth to get this project up and running again! (that’s my paypal address)

#241

no computer? say it aint so!

man, i hear ya and feel your pain on the computer thing, and if i had anything left in my budget fot the month, I’d donate it.

only reason i even have a computer right now, is because i was stubborne enough to be willing to settle for even a street salvage, and thats what i have right now, in fact im typing this reply on it.

runs pretty good for an old obsolete dinosaur.

hope your situation improves soon my friend, you do some of my favorite art, love the sirius, (its on my wall as a poster right now, lol)

dont hesitate to drop a line every now and then, just so we know you still among the land of the living.

Peace

#244

Do you guys keep in contact over each others projects? or is fairly separate? Think i asked how some of the other ones were going but only heard back from sirius (btw, bad luck man).

Titan seems to be rolling along and Vanguard looks pretty much done from showings on SFM. Are the shipyards and other contributions dead then?

#245

nope, the shipyards are still open for business, that is if you mean wolfsshipyards, of course.

still post regularly there and at least somewhat sporadicly at SFM, in fact, just finished up a pair of 2d customs and a restoration of a 2d pic(Jpeg disaster should say it all), and new projects on the horizon.

#246

He means shipyard wip. along with the other wips.

Yes they are still ongoing, we’ve just been HEAVILY slowed down as of late due to dozens of problems between the team and our hardware :wink:

#247

Quick update for you all
