SD's first real model...

[Star Dragon]

It sucks, but I finally made something (aside from the GTC cube)

It's not positioned right yet (the arms) plus working on the textures (just using placeholders for now). Once it's ready I will turret it and finish the pof off for table testing. My idea worked in Vanilla FS2, but now I want a twist. By using it as a chaff replacement instead of the normal ship table like last time... (if that idea fails will go back to normal ship table)...

...what is it?

[Star Dragon]

He he, I can't tell you yet (it's a secret!) If you want to position the arms for me I will tell you early ;)...

I posted the test object about this idea last year on HLP but wanted to make something myself for once.

OMG!!! :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Greatness!!!

;)

I'm wating for the "It looks like a penis" postings. :p



I've no idea what it could possibly be...

[Star Dragon]

I was afraid you were about to blurt it out DaBrain... ;) Don't scare me like that.

Because cubes are my friend, (till I found out how to use bevel) the base itself is not proper shape... Plus it will becoem more apparent once correct lookign textures are applied (I just painted faces so I wonder how messed up texture orientation will be as I noticed the grain on certain sides is rotated... If I make a hand drawn or cobbled texture with lines I bet it's gonna not match other faces.

Anyone feel like helping me make the V clamp like appearence?

Unless it's reptilian, I don't see how it could be phallic with two prongs sticking out like that...


btw; have I said reptiles are sexy?

[Star Dragon]

*sigh*, Why does it all come down to the penis.... If you already got one isn't that enough. LOL!

and Raa.... Reptiles with TWO penises? Would that be over compensation?

[Taristin]

Lizards, gators, and snakes, as well as quite a few others have two, so that they can mount from the side... or something. I don't remember the official reason, but yea, two.

No, it's a deformed dildo. Case closed. ;)

[DaBrain]

BTW I know some sharks have two of them...


errrm... back to topic. :nervous:


It's time for a screenshot update. If you need any help, I'll do my best to help you with my limited modelling skills. ;)

[Star Dragon]

Great!!!

Since you got the file here or on HLP I'll see if I can find or make a screenshot of the vhs I have (from 1991) so you can see what I am talking about for the angles...

Now to find the video... Expect a PM this weekend sometime...

[Star Dragon]

Update: Thanks to shadow

Now that's what I am talking about! You might recognize it more as a "fin funnel" from the NU-Gundam in Char's Counter-Attack.

I teaked the mapping a bit and the textures.

That shape reminds me of the long "tail" thingies of Bablon 5 above the hangar:

[Star Dragon]

yeah but that won't run you down with beam weapons like these will!

So much for my modeling skills, I officially retire!
(and there was much rejoicing in the universe) ;)
