Looking forward to it!

For those who don't already like (like I didn't, until a few moments ago) the Hornet looks like this:



It'll be cool to see it in actual 3D. Hopefully with a better colour scheme too.

You should all go visit http://www.wcnews.com, because I'm hotlinking the image from them. Hehehe.

hey,

Got 3-D model done. (still need to texture, add details, engines, cockpit, exc.) Also the ship is way to small, so I need to do some scaling.

About the paint, I'll probably stick with green and silver, but nothing like the crappy job done in the original. I mean it's good for the original WC, but not on a 3D model. All I can say so far, is it looks better than the remake in the cutscene in the beggining of kilrathi saga.

Also I don't know about the gun rods, I think if I just mount the guns on the wings, that would suffice. Any feedback on this? I'm still looking for someone to do texturing, if not I'll probably just do it myself. Don't know how that will turn out though. When I'm done I'm gonna start on a Scimitar Medium Fighter.

From the picture that can be an awesome ship. I agree with just wing mounting the weapons, that should look good. As far as textures go, I build my ships in pieces. Wings, Body, Fins, etc. that way I can texture each piece. If you have duplicate pieces, only make one then use the duplicate tool and then vertex mirror either left<->right or top<->bottom. If you do this the the parts are equal size and if the original was textured then the duplicate will be also. Then when the textures are mapped all you have to do is regroup the parts into 1 mesh and it is totally skinned. That saves time and makes it easier to get the details the way you want.

I would suggest a greyish texture, similar to the broadsword in Privateer.

Sounds good ... like to join our mod? We're (supposedly) doing that ...

Ok,

After nearly two grueling months of redoing and doing and redoing, I've finally completed the ms3d of this model. I'm trying to get it textured now. Then on to coding and wala, mod. A/w, I'd like to post some pics, but I've got a geocities website and the damn thing just won't show up. So... I'll just have to finish it and then show everyone.

Scimitar here I Come!!!

This paintjob looks snazzier than the Hornet in Rebalance. The Rebalance Hornet is just green.

- the First Evil

Hey,

The hornet in rebalance is based on the hornet in the intro to Kilrathi Saga I think. It's missing a couple of things from the original. I'm basing mine off the original model, which had a few more details which were left out. (eg the winglets on the trailing edge of the wing, wing tips, and cockpit.) Also, I'm not sure how the paintjob gonna turn out, I'm not the one doing that, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look like the original paintjob.

Here's what I'm gonna do with it:

2 Class 6 Weapon Hardpoints
2 Class 6 Special Hardpoints (Gun/Missle)
150 Max Speed
Class 6 Sheild Hardpoint
Available at BrandenBurg Border Station, (New Berlin, Rheinland)

Hope to finish it soon

Ps,

Heres a better picture:

if you made this, you must make the tiger's claw too!!!
(and the Rapier and the ...)

so make a bunch of wing commander shipsis that what you want,

Hey Everbody,

Just about got this thing done. Kurgan's Texturing it now. I got a preliminary look, and it looks great. I just can't get it to post for some reason. So pretty soon it'll be done.

Hey got it all done, except for the texture. It looks fine in milkshape, but when I put it in the game, the texture is all screwed up, and before you say flip it, I already tryed that to no avail. A/w, once I get it straigtened out I'll post it.
