Everything ship shape here!

Eh, at this stage, WCP is the best choice for WC mods :). But if you require support for 2000-faced models... you're nuts :).

HEY! Don't blame me if WC2 ships aren't as boxy as Prophecy's :) Maybe they're so full of round and spherish parts because Origin didn't have to worry about "face count" at the time <g> (And 2000 is just for the starbases and capital ships... fighters are like 600 to 1000 faces)

(By the way thanks for the help again, Loaf!)

Hmmm... our UE Scimitar has over a thousand faces :). As for capships... well, who knows? Two thousand faces is a hell of a lot, but I suppose it's possible that it would work.
 
Hey everyone, check out my site at http://stallions.hypermart.net/wingcommander

Hmmmmm..... too bad I don't know the first thing about WCP Editing, otherwise I'd give it a try right away..... Maybe I should take some time to learn this stuff (it seem difficult, though.... seems like it'd require more than just a few days)

Well, thanks for the offer but I can't think of anything else I need right now... I might need the Gothri and Dorkathi later, but I still haven't decided wheter to use those two (or the Jalthi and Dorkir) in my mod but If I need them, I'll let you know...

As for other angles, please, no!! :) Just 2 or 3 angles of the Waterloo are enough to screw up my eyes quite badly... that thing's got some really modern hull architecture :D

Do you have WC1 models as well ? After a little break, I am begining to model a Dorkir for my movie...

If you want you can use these pics of the Jalthi I made. The Jalhi would be terrific in your mod : it's one of best (for me) Kilrathi ship of the whole serie ! :D

BTW, congratulation for all your models : I really like them !
 
Loaf, do you have a big folder somewhere online with all of those pictures in? if so is it available for people to download from?

Also, talking of renders, does anyone (or has anyone) intended to make renders of every WC ship in order, like high quality ones like sadic's jalthi/dralthi. if not then would anyone like to do so?

Thanks! And thanks for that pic, too! Now I'm certainly going to use the Jalthi :)
In what program do you make the textures for your models? I've seen the Krant, and this Jalthi too, and I really like the look of your Kilrathi textures... (I want to make my Kilrathi textures using a different technique from my Confed textures, so the ships have a different "feel" not only in the shape, but also in the textures)

I've got everything from WC2 on -- before that, there were no models.

No, I don't have the renders online -- I do them by request, when people are trying to make their own models.

I plan to make models of :
Dorkir, Fralthi, Bengal, Exeter, Drayman, Hornet, Rapier and Broadsword.
I hope I will have the time...

Thanks. I will do the same as you : my confed ship will have very different textures in order to give a different "feeling".
I use Photoshop because of its good layer capabilities. The first layer used in fact a screencapture of some of the Kilrathi SWC ships Loaf posted some time ago (thanks for that !). I have raised the staturation and the red channel of these texts. Then you have layers with more little details, paints & drawing, and the last ones are layers of dust and rust. For my next text, I will try to melt a real picture of metal too.
 
Hey Loaf, I just remembered another rendering I'll need, the Galaxy from Privateer...

And if those models you have are split up in several meshes (I hope they are), could you please hide the engine meshes and make some renders the main hull of the ship (without those engine blocks), and then do the opposite?
(to me, the Galaxy seems just like such a lot of different parts pasted together :) those engines really get in the way when you want to look at the hull, and vice-versa :P)

(btw I'm posting this in this thread cause I don't see a point in starting a new one just to contact you... hope this isn't inappropriate or anything, but I don't know, I'm just a newbie :D)

Thanks in advance!
