Topic: Azel's Romulan Warbird (WIP) (Read 6450 times)

pepperman · « **on:** March 18, 2005, 06:43:38 pm »

Okay, it finally happened. I tried my hand at modeling something and decided to publicly show the WIP. I chose one of Azel's designs for two reasons: 1) I really like his work and 2) I am partial to the Romulans.

Here's a few screen shots to shown where I am with this ship. Comments are welcome but keep in mind that this is really my first attempt at making a ship from scratch. Oh by the way, the textures are nothing more that a green colored version of Azel's design. Also, I haven't gotten the low poly gig down yet. At any rate, here's what I have got to show for now.

great job there pepper couldnt have done her better myself

pepperman · « **Reply #12 on:** April 15, 2005, 02:35:38 pm »

Unfortunately I have been extremely busy and haven't found time do do much of anything fun.

Antivyrus: Thanks for the comments. You'll be pleased to know that it was your work that inspired me to try my had a modeling. In my opinion this thing is still way too high in the poly count department (~10,000) but I am going to try and get it down somewhat.

Glad everyone likes it. I will try to work on it when time allows.

Regards,

Pepperman

markyd · « **Reply #13 on:** April 17, 2005, 02:40:08 pm »

Here is an idea... finish it first... then worry about the poly count rofl

Reverend · « **Reply #14 on:** May 01, 2005, 10:52:18 am »

just release it, heck with the poly count, it can be reduced... its been 3 months

CC22 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 04, 2005, 08:42:43 pm »

Wow very impressive. A great take on a very nice design. Sure its your first??

lol

pepperman · « **Reply #16 on:** May 05, 2005, 05:40:14 pm »

AkamI, Reverend,

Would either of you like to finish it?

Pepperman

markyd · « **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2005, 08:17:52 am »

Ho ho.... WOW! Gimme gimme gimme!!!

10,000 polies? How about releasing high and low poly versions? High for renderings and low for in-game.

pepperman · « **Reply #22 on:** October 22, 2005, 09:57:18 pm »

Okay, I have made and remade this beast quite a few times but I am finally done with it (at least from my point of view). I even got the poly count down somewhat. Now who is going to texture it? Oh by the way, this is one of Atolm’s designs.

Reverend · « **Reply #23 on:** October 22, 2005, 10:25:04 pm »

I can't even get this monster to convert to .mod.... don't know what on earth I was thinking.
MP, can you or someone complete this? He did such a nice job on it, and its a really fine design...

Greenvalv · « **Reply #24 on:** October 24, 2005, 02:53:26 pm »

I'll convert it, send it to greenvalv@yahoo.com

The high-poly one (The first one) is safe right, ya' didn't get rid of it, pepperman?

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #25 on:** October 24, 2005, 03:07:29 pm »

I can try, I hope MS3d can handle it. Send it on over.

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #26 on:** December 31, 2005, 10:41:17 pm »

Bumping in hopes of a Rommie for the New Year.

pepperman · « **Reply #27 on:** December 31, 2005, 11:45:29 pm »

All,

I am working on the textures for this one. Cube over at BCU was going to do it but decided my textures would be better than his. So I am going to give it a go unless someone else wants to tke it one.

Pepperman

Happy new year to you all.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2006, 12:26:16 pm »

Haven't received this Birdie yet.

pepperman · « **Reply #29 on:** January 13, 2006, 07:52:18 pm »

Man the forums seems to be quite slow these days....well, here are a couple of pics to show how the texturing is going. Still don't know what I am doing but I'm having fun doing it. lol

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #30 on:** January 16, 2006, 07:30:01 pm »

INCREDIBLE - you know exactly whaty you're doing.

pepperman · « **Reply #31 on:** January 19, 2006, 06:12:52 pm »

Okay, the Romulan Akhiy' khaiell ("Black Wind") Class Warbird should be ready for download.

Hey Pepperman,

You mind if i do a little kitbashing with this model? i have a great idea for it.

pepperman · « **Reply #37 on:** January 24, 2006, 02:57:01 pm »

Bash on my friend

wulf111 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 26, 2006, 06:47:04 am »

here is a WIP of what i had in mind for a kitbash of this baby. Thanks again Pepperman for letting me work with it:) let me know what you all think. i got the nacells from a ship i found on my hard drive if you know of the person that did them please let me know as it didnt have any readme in the file so i can get permission/give credit to the creator.

Dizzy · « **Reply #39 on:** January 28, 2006, 04:39:17 am »

That's dynamite Wulf!

I'd like to see that get done. Way cool.

wulf111 · « **Reply #40 on:** February 06, 2006, 06:55:16 am »

Did some more work on this bird and changed a few things to make it more like a very advanced BOP still need to make a BRK mod and hard point it but other than that i think she is done. i used the original textures from Pepperman's ship nad decided to use my own design for the warp nacelles instead of someone elses. so here are the pics of the completed ship that i dubbed the HighWind.I hope you all like it.

wulf111 · « **Reply #41 on:** February 06, 2006, 09:59:53 am »

When i am done making the brk.mod and HP for my HighWind i will also make them for Peppermans BlackWind as well and also add in damage textures for them both

Anthony Scott · « **Reply #42 on:** February 07, 2006, 02:52:12 pm »

My son is going bonkers flying this ship around the game..he has not grasped the notion that he is supposed to be shoting at the other ships and not just chasing them around trying to ram them.

Did I mention that the shields on this monster are very tough?

Semper Fi, Carry On

Red_Green · « **Reply #43 on:** February 08, 2006, 02:45:43 am »

Looks fantastic. Good job! Done it milk shape too I see. Hey Pepperman, what are you doing your textures in, they look almost hand drawn, nice detail.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #44 on:** February 08, 2006, 11:27:25 am »

My only problem with it is the TNG "Nemesis" Romulan insignia, it doesn't match the design well. IF it were to be incorporated ala tradition BoP hull marking perhaps, but I think it deters from the over all look of ship. Plus it's not centered

, but that may be model angle in the pic.

pepperman · « **Reply #45 on:** February 08, 2006, 12:57:01 pm »

The textures are down in Paint Shop Pro.
