Hey, I remember that. Unfortunately, many fan projects stop before they're finished anyway.

Just one complaint - could you make your pictures brighter next time? Kick up the gamma correction. I can see the ones at that link above just fine. I know the monitor on my home computer is a little on the dim side, but I'm at uni with contrast and brightness at 100%, which is too much, and I still can't see any detail.

Holy god in heaven! Dude... keep it up! Those units are unbelievable!

The new Destiny Class - hopefully not too bright for you guys...

It's based on the old Heretic from Priv2 - but looks a bit spiffier.
And here's a look at the new cockpit hud that I did for VegaStrike:

Enjoy!

very nice models, I'd like to use them in my mod. Hopefully you'll make another models available too.

Well, that's it then.
Enjoy! [/B][/QUOTE]

Hmm...
The back half of the fighter reminds me of the Hercules from Freespace, right down to the "keel" on the fighter.
Overall, all of the fighters look nice.

Nice work.

It kinda reminds me of across between the heretic (like you say) and something I remember seeing in games workshop once:-

[Howard Day]

Heh. I hadn't even thought about the Hercules or the grav tank... Funny ow that happens. Nothing new under the sun, eh?
Anyhow, here's the first shot of a landing bay - the total poly count is 1400! and it only uses 2 512x512 texturemaps (one for the ship, one for the bay) and a single 128x128 texture for the ship's shadow.

It's not quite done, as I still have a lot of room in the 512x512 for the bay. I'll probably add scaffolding and catwalks.
Enjoy!

 

[Howard Day]

Heh. These are actually for the game VegaStrike - only the first two or three were from WC.
Here's a update:

I adjusted the scale, added some more stuff.

Here's the Link to the ship dbase as it stands now.
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/vsdb/index.html
As you can see, it looks like the ships currently use about 15 polygon *each*.

Enjoy!

Yet another Update!
The Wayfarer!

Note that this ship is a cargo hauler, thus explaining the shape.
Enjoy!

Just let me ask you a Question.....Why dont you gine the pics to the news , so we can all see them there??
Its better than here ....

 

[Howard Day]

Well, I did, a while back. They didn't see fit to publish them. So I'm posting here.

 

[TCSTigersClaw]

Oh, its OK then, It would just be easier to put them there...

Well, they are great man, as I said before

 

[Wedge009]

Also, it's not really related to WC. Or is it? Why are you posting all these non-WC ships again, Howard?

 

[TCSTigersClaw]

Well maybe cause they are Vegastrike -related, but I believe that it would be better to post Wc related Ships.I think the most of us prefer the Wc-related ships

 

[TopGun]

Still, his ships look great

 

[Wedge009]

Oh, I never meant to say they don't look good just because they're not WC ships. But admittedly, it is a little less of interest because of that.

 

[TCSTigersClaw]

Yeah , and I agreed with you Wedge I didnt say anything against what you said
