why dont you use the reference model? buy youself a G-force Ti 9.000.000.000 while at it

Just kevlar? Even a combined fleet of Sharlins and Warlocks could not stop tomcat from reaching his ultimate goal.

Look, you. I didn't flame his model. I complimented it and then pointed out substantial differences from the canon model. I'm aware that it's a work in progress... that's the best time to make criticisms. I made no mention of antennae. And finally, the ability to do something is utterly unrelated to the ability to evaluate something.

hmmm ...should i kick his arse now? perhaps ..

YES OF COURSE I'll KICK HIM..

Canon model..hmm..from where did u go that fact that that omega is the canon model.?? actualy is not..u should check the top view of the model...there are any pipes there and are present in the show..what this means? NADA..
The textures..hmmm interesting that u mentioned this..did u actualy cheched the side parts u are talking about???what u see in "canonmodel" is complectly FLAT no lighting no nothing on them..so after u ..I should just make some grey texture over the sides just to comply to your "considere reference".

The only reference in this mode might be some captures from the show , and neither those are accurate since size proportion varies from serie and episodes..there aint an accurate Reference for this show.

And is not my model:P is Wingnuts with work of Ethernal1 and me on it. If you don't like it then make a new one only for ya ..since we are quite happy with our model.


Finally since all the Omega models varies from author to author this is our Omega what we consider that suit up our needs.

So people before making critics ..try to construct a model then texture it.

From the fact that the [url=www.starshipmodeler.com/b5/omeg_rs.jpg]original image[/URL] says "Copyright (c) 1996-9 PTEN Entertainment/Warner Bros" on it. And that I got it from starshipmodeler.com's reference section, which AFAIK only includes official imagery.

As I said before, statements like this are logical gibberish. The ability to make a model has NOTHING to do with the ability to compare it to official models.

If you go to the doctor and he almost kills you, and he says, "Well can you do a better job", is that a valid excuse?

I'm not saying anything about how the canon models actually look in the show but ZylonBane is correct that:

i) criticism can be made without needing to be a modeller, you just need a good eye and accurate references.

ii) it is better to make criticisms now rather than once everything has been released so that if the team decide changes are in order then they can be made more easily.

I'm actually intrigued by this and am going to watch Severed Dreams, No Surrender, No Retreat and Endgame to have some fun enjoying B5 (well have a quick look at the Omega Destroyers but those episodes are just so cool). I think you've done a fantastic job on the texturing tomcat and Wingnut on the mesh and this debate doesn't take anything away from that

Whee!

Look zylonBane no one is flaming you... I always said critics are pertinent and welcome specialy when its not my model.

You can insult tomcat as you please I'm not stopping you
But we can understand the effort behind it, and there will be always limitations we must deal with. Bearing in mind that the best critics are those that suggest achievable things.
We will keep this model for now, if SC development allows it we will include a new model later on when most ships have been donne.

No **** Sherlock. With the eye ok..but accurate reference ..u got to be jocking.. There aint nothing Acccrate in B5 ...The 3d artist in the show screwed efects big time..scaling models like they wanted...Not they are also very original when come to Omega design. Check your beloved site for 2010.

If it would be "to be accurate" then u will not see any model. B5, Warlock, GQuan, Vorchan, or anything...There is no plans, no blue prints Like the ones in Star Wars Universe.
Making models means most of it BALANCE .Watch the show, check the polygon high models, check the "competition" models.Then take a decision that part can't be done ..that part is not important to the model.

If I knew that u would be happy with (c) Copyright bla bla ..I would place it on the screens..So that would make the Mesh Official:P.

Criticism doesnt have anythoing to do with Releasing it. Changes won't be ..Since am Happy/We are Happy with the mesh and the textures.

This is not a democracy .... is a dictatorship. Tomcat is the absolute King of this dictatorship.

Only a few people are entitled to a opinion related to modeling . Those people's opinion are respected. You are not one of them.

tomcat - I'm afraid that you're just plain wrong when you say that people are not entitled to opinions, that's one of the very concepts of being human and being capable of rational thought. Nobody said that you have to respect these opinions let alone even listen to them but people are going to have them regardless!

Any comments that are positive about the textures (such as the ones I've had) have apparently been accepted by you but as soon as there is a criticism you take it personally. Again, it's your perogative to make or not make changes - it's your model and you can do what you like with it, we can't stop you and we won't try to as we know that in the end TBP has always made the compromises that suit the project the best.

I have since watched those three episodes that I mentioned and have made several observations on the models but apparently opinions are not welcomed by you so I shall refrain from posting them.
