Warpfighter WIP
« on: November 14, 2005, 07:49:47 pm »
I decided to stop being a talker and start being a 'basher  ;D (courtesy of Wicked Zombie, LC Amaral, and ATX).   I've really appreciated the beautiful work I've seen on these forums for years, so I took some time to start a project I've been dreaming about for awhile now... the Warpfighter.



I plan on using it in StarLancer as a fighter and as a combat shuttle in SFC. What do you think? I cannot publish it until I get permission from WZ, LC, and ATX. If you all like it let me know and I'll post at battleclinic when I've finished and have permissions.

LC, WZ, and ATX if you're reading this what do you say?

Buck roger meets Trek. Very good indeed. The nacelles look very strangely placed but at the same time they do suit it.

Kids these days...  ;)

Once upon a time, Mackie, back when you were just a sparkle in your daddy's eye, there was a TV show called "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century," made by many of the same people who worked on the original Battlestar Galactica.  That show featured a fighter that looked like this:



Nicely Trekked up, there, redneckf15.  :)

Thanks for the encouragement folks. I'm waiting on permissions and then I'll port to mod format and test. Hopefully I'll get a break from flying (my real life job) and have an early Christmas present for you all.

 ::) I wondered if anyone would notice that it is the Buck Rogers Warpfighter (instead of Starfighter). BR, BSG, and ST were my favorite shows when I was a small fella.

Here's an alternate design - I'm also working on a couple of other variants that I'll post when ready for feedback.



Which do you prefer?

You haven't learned how it works here, yet, have ya, dude?  You need to release both, and then TMP and TOS versions as well...  ;)

I've sent emails to all involved for permissions, but unfortunately no replies yet. WZ's email bounced back with a delay delivery notice. If anyone knows him, ask him to check out this post.

Atrahsis did a very good  low poly Starfighter years ago on his site -- The Ark. It's not there now but with encouragemnt I'm sure he'd re-release. I don't think know if he's a fan of batleclinic.

Another variant teaser... FYI the second two variants use a diffrrent base mesh that is higher poly/detail (I'm having trouble texturing it!). The first variant comes in at ~2k after being bashed. The other two are ~4 to 5K. Alot for a little fighter... I'm still partial to the first variant but I'd like to hear what you have to say.
