So, that would mean in-game it would be harder to destroy?
Thats pretty good though, normal probes don't really last long in space....

Tattorack, I'm only giving you some constructive advice you could think about.
Just a curious question, do you draw concepts before modeling them?
On a other note :

Yes I do. I've been drawing from since I remember, drawing conceptsdo you draw concepts before modeling them?
is always the first thing I do, and it usually comes long before I decide
to model it.
For instance, the EDF ships I made up something like 9 years ago, (7 years
before I started modeling) and the Craal Turtleship was one of the first ships
I made up and drew.(of course the ideas, uses, strengths and weaknesses
evolved over time till I became satisfied and kept it as "its like this").
And I've attempted more than a few times to start my own comic of the story.
I'm now a modeler myself finally lol (for a few months now). I'm doing a Freespace 2 mod based on Sinistar:Unleashed.
Since I'll need all the S:U craft I started with trying to replicate the level 1 player fighter here http://imageshack.us/f/843/playerfighter.jpg/
I currently have http://imageshack.us/f/411/playerlvl1.jpg/
Ya it's for FS2 but of course could be for HW2 as well. Here's something I did that I got into HW2 http://imageshack.us/f/696/ss00003d.jpg/ HW2 is pretty easy going compared to FS2 it seems lol, all I did for that was export the model to an .obj for cdhoded...FS2 seems to require you to do a bunch of stuff first, still trying to figure out what to do there.

So tempted to post a certain song, so, so tempted; but no, this is homeworld, not portal....
We need moar carriers for those fightercraft models.
Your new race is looking really great Melvin, it has a steampunk look that i really like. It looks really militaristic and ruff, like it can really take a beating. You need to texture them.

The colours! My eyes! The HUMANITY!
Quite stylish actually.
The ship on the left bottom, is it the same or different race?
Still working on mine.MORE MODELS PLEASE.
Graphics card getting worse, modeling halted![]()
Different race than all others above.The ship on the left bottom, is it the same or different race?
Though I'd post for once

Hath anyone verily existed a stones throw unwavering quite assured to employ thee venture yonder desireth to become appear vastly similar?
Nice. It will be good to see those textured and in game...
10% of life is what happens to you and 90% is what you DO about it
Looks good, Vipey from what I can make out but any chance of another pic from a better angle?
ohhhh, tidanni heavy cruiser. Nice.
I don't know what i'm talking about, ignore me.
Thousands of years ago, Egyptians worshipped what would become our ordinary housecat. The cats have never forgotten this.

Vipey you've had these for a long, long while now and you keep showing the exact same models.
Im just wondering, when are you going to texture these? I really want to see that happen.
Nice, whts the triangular thingy in the top left? At first i thought it might be Qwarr, but then realised those aren't wings...
@Melvin: Not everybody can texture, and not everybody wants to. I'm willing to take a crack at it whne my IRL issues subside and i get back to modelling, but not everyone will be intrested. The modelling for many is the real joy.
I more or less don't want to texture. Hw2 modelling is a hobby of mine, nothing more... I'm getting geared up to start modding Skyrim. But each time I post I typically add a few ships to that scene. I guess I'm building a personal fleet. By now... jeez if I did texture them all and put them in game, they'd be a complete race.
----------
Also it is based off the Qwarr. Those are wings, they open fully if I ever get around to putting it in game. Oh, wait I have :3
I just haven't madstated it yet.
I was for the whole time under the impression that those were supposed to be game models. Technically there's nothing I can ever say against the personal fleet, that's a very nice idea in fact, but expecting them to appear in game leads me to a letdown now I have to say. We all know how it goes, if Vipey won't texture them, no one else ever will. I wish I knew that those aren't game models from the start, it would prevent me from having some unrealistic expectations.
If you guys want them in game bad enough... I'll start texturing a few of them. I wasn't expecting people to be this upset about it honestly haha.
I'd just see it as a waste to not do anything with them.
It's your work though.
Things sure are slow here...
Here's a little something
The forum resizes the pic, you can view the original on moddb .
So sexy, so very sexy.
Though the link to the bigger picture is broken.
If you guys want i can post pictures of my Tadanni Republic Plasma Frigate. It's untextured and i don't have a clue where to start on the goblins, but i've finially found somthing that looks as i intended when shooting, (and actualy works, damm burst fire restrictions). So subject to getting the engine area and goblins sorted i might have a crack at texturing it.
EDIT: Found the originol of jkberna's QJ.

@BloodFleet. Great job! I like the organic looks of your ships. I taught myself how to use wings and I exclusively use it for modelling. my weakness is texturing. I'll have a hard time painting organics as I also would have to work on photoshop which I haven't mastered yet.
I can't post links yet since I just registered. But I'll be posting pics of models within 7 days.
They are currently untextured and not yet detailed. They are low poly for performance on older and newer systems and most detail will be through textures via bump maps.
Extremely high poly versions are in the works for use in videos.
That JK's Missile Destroyer is so sweet that it makes me want to commit a sin.
Those little antennae around the ship are a good detail, and remind me a bad concept sketch that I made some years ago (I'm so bad at drawing)

Not really, it just makes you fell that if you looked at it from above it would be invisible (no 3D!!). But other than that it captures the idea of the shape fairly well imo.
I'm gonna have to agree there, it just looks more, logical, seeing as it is(i assume) a research ship
Just a new model for a mod. one of hundreds to come....
its a destroyer. its 4k Polys triangulated.

Looks like a fighter, but thats good I guess its a decievingly shaped kind of ship.
It wouldn't look like a fighter if this was the top side of the ship:
This is the truly impressive side, your current top side not so much. So I would just flip that main hull part upside down and that would be solved.
