thanks this is my first real ship texturing ,I've done the nial but I'm not quite satisfied with the results, dont know if it will ever be released with the first packge, but some elements of the staff like my version better though.

This model is going to materialize some time soon for engine tests, LOD0 and LOD1 are now textured, and slightly darker now to match the nose and other parts I took from a rendering of a full 'real' sunhawk. also rearrange the textures for optimizing system perfomance. But will still be heavier than most ships of its class.(I wanna make it look sharp at close range)

good job .
The texturing is excellent . haderak did fine.

Besides, this thing is UGLY. Just like in the show.
I think the textures themselves need some polishment by a 2d-artist . This is what White is up to I think.

NOTE : There is another version of the sunhawk in season 5 fightuing Centauri vessels and I think we should take THAT one.
For several reasons .

1. The lava-like yellow-red parts are moving in the show. So this would NOT be the case with TBP
2. The season 5 sunhawk has NO animated surface ( how good for us )
3. The season 5 sunhawk doesnt look as ridiculous as the season 1-4 sunhawk.

I say change texture maps !

Yes there was a different version of the sunhwk I've seen it in 'a call to arms' that passed yesterday it was shown very briefly 8destroyed by the massing drakh fleet) and it has a different engine, instead of a yellow an red 'BLOB' engine, now it is almost completely covered by armour with small square exaust windows (or whatever it is).

Skullar did you say 'change textures????' CHANGE TEXTURES???! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhh

perhaps you could use a modified engine glow in the shape of the bulb at the back of the sunhawk

Posted by IceFire on 09-11-2001 02:26 AM:

We have 3 engine glows to work with (Terran, Vasudan, Shivan)...were not wasting one...on one ship.

Posted by NegspectahDek on 09-11-2001 02:56 AM:

just an idea.
either way, would it work?

Posted by Sigma957 on 09-11-2001 05:03 AM:

Looks great, well done

Posted by Skullar on 09-11-2001 06:32 AM:

We have a yellow engine glow which could be used on these yellow regions of the season 5 engine.... well . not up to me.

Ah , this rendering looks good , THAT'S the texture quality I wanna have.

Posted by LAMBO on 09-11-2001 06:49 AM:

That texture is perfect, it just too brightly displayed:

ahh that's perfect

Also i was just thinking could it be possible to use rotating sections to create the illusion that the engine looks like it does on tv?

Yes.

I must just say to you Haderak... you did the texturing very well.

Texturing the Sunhawk was at first my job but I have had problems with getting my computer stable. That's why I just didn't have time to texture it.

Maybe I will have some other "small" ship to texture some day. That there would be some other use to me to the team than just as a mission designer.

But I congratulate for a job well done.

Darkblade, I think we've got a Drazi Fighter around, and if we don't, im sure Tomcat can whip it up quickly.

Skullar: True, we can add small engine glows in those areas. Or we can do rotation. Either way, I think im happy

LAMBO: You're also right, but for the purpose of texturing, you want to have the light as bright as possible . In game im sure it'll look fantastic.

Posted by Skullar on 09-11-2001 01:41 PM:

Then I vote for several Yellow engine glows and the season 5 sunhawk. Simply looks better .

Posted by CptWhite on 09-14-2001 06:03 PM:

A few renders of the sunhawk (just for fun)

ok i am a very amateur picture maker, im sure i will get better, i still need to figure out many things, the lighting is pretty pants but i thought i might as well post them

they might make nice wallpapers if you convert them to bmp

Posted by haderak on 09-14-2001 08:45 PM:

geez it looks so diferent in those renderings! (better)

Now it needs to be aproved by the senior menbers and then coverted and table defenitions.

Thats it Icefire ,thats the one sunhawk with the different engine.
Perhaps its a jump capable version, the drazis may have gained some tech as well.

I have analized the 'a call to arms' moovie very extensively and i have the impression that the drakh may have a greater variety of ships than we thought (not the plage carriers nor the mothership) I have some doubts concerning their size as well.

All times are EST. The time now is 01:51 PM.
