Guest TK421 Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 This is my latest attempt at OPT Modelling, whadda ya think. Does anyone have any pics of a Skyhook, specifically the one from Shadows Of The Empire. Comments? Requests? As soon as I can get some free time, I'll put a page for it on my site. ------------------ "Peace through superior firepower" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zraii Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 Hey TK421, this one is very good. But i dont like the texture. Some other would be better. And i have check around a bit in search of skyhooks. I have darksabers Emperor's Fortress. It's a good Opt but i think it's too "Emperor like" but you may get some ideas for a skyhook. You can find it on my page or at darksabers page. You have my site? darksabers: http://www.darksaber.freeserve.co.uk/ /Zraii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ms. Talon Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 It's...not very threatening-looking, it sort of looks like a light sports-plane. (Not to denegrate your modelling efforts). ------------------ gototalon@home.com http://members.home.net/gototalon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkshake Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 It's not that bad, after all it does have them groovy sharks teeth ------------------ Charlie "Milkshake" Mitchell Black wind squadron/Rouge Aliiance Black 4/Rouge 8 Self proclaimed RAL Drunkard milkshake@milkshake.co.uk Jerry!

Guest TK421 Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 In the 1st shot the textures look crappy, but in game when you zoom in they sharpen up really nicely, besides when it's zoomin around you don't get much chance to appreciate the scenery, you're too busy trying to save your ass! I thought the shark teeth were a nice touch, here is a better pic. It's threatening enough when that rapid-fire cannon opens up on you! There are 3 Rebel guns in the one spot, which gives a very nice amount of firepower and awesome refire rate, almost a continous beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TK421 Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 Aw darn I forgot to resize that one. Ho hum, damn textures. In ACE they look quite good, all nicely shaded and detailed - heck in ACE you can pick out the small bolts I put on some parts. I like angular / mechanical / functional sort of looks rather than nice smooth flowing shapes and my OPTs will reflect that(in other words ISD = cool , Calamari CRS = piece of crap).

Flying Beastie Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 As they say on the Massassi forums: leet! You do plan on releasing it, right? P.S. That idea for a continuous beam sounds really cool (Phasers/fusion beam/Aing-Tii energy beam). ------------------ Breath deep, seek peace --Traditional Dinotopian saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TK421 Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Aing-Tii? Leet? I tried making the same sort of continuous beam on my previous StarGazer, but the AI seems to want to fire several gun-zones at once, giving the standard wave of fire like other capital ships instead of firing one gun-zone with the beam-like appearance. Yes I'm going to release it. Actually I'm just gonna a make a few posts to keep upto date then I'm going to work on my site. ------------------ "No no son, you gotta hit 'em in the head so they stay down, like this! *WHACK*" TK's OPT Factory [This message has been edited by TK421 (edited May 30, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zedran Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Well, ill say it, GOOD JOB.... What programs are you using to create your opts? And where could they be downloaded? Again way to go. Hows about a Tie Fighter that looks "more" like the one Vader flies?! That would be cool. Zed ------------------ "Thats quite a wonderful smell you discovered!"

Guest TK421 Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Thank's Zedran I use 3D Studio Max, which is not the best tool to do OPTs, but its all Ive got. A good CAD program and a good understanding of ACE_DXF you can build almost anything. Vader's Tie Avenger/x1 has been around for quite some time, I used to use it in XvT. Not sure who did it, try DarkSaber or one of the other sites. You can download my 1st ship at the link in my signature. I'm re-building the site right now, I just came online to get the URLs of a couple of sites. ------------------ "No no son, you gotta hit 'em in the head so they stay down, like this! *WHACK*" TK's OPT Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
