Ah KOTOR...it's been a while since I've played it.  From what I remember of the Leviathan, she looks good so far.

I was going to start working on this ship myself.  I've gone through all of the .bik files in kotor to find the ones that contain shots of the Leviathan.  As soon as I manage to get some good screenshots of them, I'll send them to you.

So far, it looks good.  However, I don't think the "mouth" of the ship is quite that large or extend quite so far back.

As promised, here are some screenshots of the Leviathan in game.  I couldn't get very many views of the rear or underside of the ship, but these should be enough to get a good since of proportion and detail.

I wish they were from my model (which doesn't exist yet).

These are from the pre-rendered cinematics in the game (the .bik files in the "movies" folder).  The name of each screenshot tells you which video file it's from.

I cant help with specs i would add 50 phaser g ,max tractor beem power .a mauler just for fun and a butload of missles not to mention the 20 fighters .
Yes i have several sith in wip the fighter is one of them but i dont have a bottom or rear view of it so it most likey wont be anywhere near accurate.


Thanks Mr_Tricorder  :thumbsup: i didnt realise how uguly this ship really is the view i saw at starwars databank lies :P It looks like i am going to have to totaly rebuild this ship.

I hope you don't mind me posting some early WIP pics of my version of the Leviathan.  I was seriously about to start modeling this when I first came across your thread.  I'm planning on using this for my graphics project this semester, so I don't know if I'm going to release it for use in SFC (I still have yet to release my Ark Royal from last semester.  I never finished adding HPs and DPs for the SFC3 version).

Dude Your wip rules  :thumbsup: Its is much more accurate than mine i hope you do release it, my version wont be as accurate as the pics you sent. I like the concept artwork EvillJedi posted at scifimeshes.com alot more than the game pics my version will end up looking alot diffrent.

I like his version based on the concept art better, but I want to try to make it as accurate to the game as possible while keeping it relatively low poly.  Hopefully I'll be able to piece together a good enough idea of what the details look like from these screenshots I took.  I just really wish I could get my hands on some orthographic views, but it's kind of a moot point now that I've finished with the hard part.
Here's the thread with EvilleJedi's Leviathan pics http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28960&highlight=leviathan.

I just came up with some textures the other day.  I'm not completely satisfied with them, though.  I may come up with some more detailed textures later on.
