Minilogoguy's "Star Viper"

Recommended Posts

Well Minilogo sent me this model to skin, and I really liked the way it looked. Even know I was working a character model, I thought I'd at least skin this on the side. It's the shadow empires Virago... or Star Viper. It's pretty cool design... His modeling, my skinning.... it should come out pretty darn good. Mars out!

yeah all those shots are with the wings folded back cause they open up. i had bugs with the old one cause the guns are normally folded back but they flip forward in attack mode. it would make the lasers shoot in the wrong direction no matter how i pointed the tags but i think ill try and make it work for this one. but once its skinned the rest is a piece of cake so itll be released very soon.

ok its in game now i just need to get an exhaust effest for the engines cause two of them are large and two of the engines are small. so i dont really know how to make an exhaust effect that has two different sized emitters. so if anyone knows how to help out with that please post so i can release.

I'm guessing that it woould either require placing two sets of tags:

i.e. tag_exhaust1 for the big exhaust and tag_exhaust2 for the small one on the model itself and then making two different effects using FXed or using one single exhaust tag on the model and then making one single effect that somehow, amazingly perfectly fits all the exhausts using FXed.

But I haven't done this stuff for ages.

 

BTW: Looks very nice - does it animate into its "attack" mode when you take off? (Like when the X-Wing opens its s-foils?)

ok its in game and all bugs have been fixed. its fully animated just like in the SOTE game even the guns flip around. i didnt make a shader cause i like the matte look to it cause it makes it look worn and not like it just pulled out of a body shop:P

Looks good. Hey minilogoguy18, sorry if I'm bugging you with all my PMs. Do you know when your Outrider might be done? If all it needs is a skin, I know some guys who are great at that.

 

The star viper looks better than any of us could have imagined. You totally rock!!
