New Opt (yes, i dont quit do i?)

[wassup1444465]

Called the dragonwing. only have the base done so far, the cockpit and exterior will come soon. the base is not being released on its own either as i need to touch up things like the view and such.<P> <P>well, there is a gun mount at the back of the hull, on it are two laser guns. tucked away in-between the wings and the hull (each side's wings leave a small crack or space. inside each crack is the gun. it is hard to see, so first impression would be that this fighter cant fight for its life.<P>on the bottom are some textures; im too lazy to take a pic of those. now i know this isn't the best thing ever, but im still improving here. as i said, the cockpit and exterior will come soon.<p>[ 14 January 2003: Message edited by: wassup1444465 ]

Looks good, but you should make the nose MUCH rounder.

[General Edor Crespin]

If you spent enough time on it, it would be one mean-looking fighter.

[Draco429]

That'd be downright evil.<P>But I think the cockpit could blend into the fuselage a little better, though. And yeah, the nose.<p>[ 14 January 2003: Message edited by: Draco429 ]

have the claws face the other direction. Vong-Republic hybrid anyone?

[legend43]

make the cockpit ... i dunno.... a little lower to the fueslage and make the wings a little smaller along with what all everone else saud

[Jedi_knight]

Looks like a flying rib cage at the moment<BR>, but its looking good, a bit more curve on it i think would do the trick

[TK-204]

WOW! Now skip the futuristic part and make a kewl Zerg-fighter!

[Geekwithpower]

Sorry to say, but this one I just don't like at all. I agree with everything said about the nose and cockpit, and I also have to say I don't think the wings match the body <B>at all</B>.

[wassup1444465]

concerning the cockpit:<P>i purposely did that. i know it seems kinda weird but it is just the effect i was going for. i am not fixing that for the most part.<P>concerning the nose:<P>yeah i see what you guys mean. i tried to fix it but couldn't, so there will be an update after i finish the cockpit and exterior.<P>concerning the wings:<P>well if you want em rotated, i can try at some point, just not right away. once again there will be an update, maybe i will make that an extra bonus.<P>concerning the wings not matching:<P>im sorry the wings aren't plain old boring wings. i try to keep things a little unique and unorthodox, as it would get boring seeing a reshaped and renamed xwing for releases. i know i am not XWAU quality, but i try.

[Geekwithpower]

It's not that. I just think they're ugly and don't add to the fighter. I think they take away.

[Defiant]

I think they'd look more like fighter wings if they were thinner. Much thinner.

[graphicx3000]

heh. The fighter from hell

[samsolo]

i think when you design a new ship you need to think why it is shaped a certain way, it doesn't have to be real physics, just some sort of logic behind the design

[ACE]

I agree with Def. They need to be much thinner, those look worse than a ten-gallon hat on a Kenny Baker

[wassup1444465]

ok i made the cockpit.<P> <P>yes i am aware the view and aim isn't perfectly centered, but i spent two hours trying to get it perfect, so please no complaints about that. this time around you can see the control panel with no problems, so no numlock annoyances to get in your way. the textures in the cockpit are darker as well, comepared to my other opts. exterior coming soon. ill try and make the guys face more of a skin color this time.<P>EDIT: sorry bout that i fixed the hosting on the image<p>[ 16 January 2003: Message edited by: wassup1444465 ]

also if someone could tell me which axis would get me centered. axis in optech, that is. it would be very appreciated, and would even get you credit in the readme <p>[ 16 January 2003: Message edited by: wassup1444465 ]

[Darksaber]

Why would you need an axis in Optech to get the cockpit centered?<P>You do not need cockpit hardpoints in a cockpit, this can all be achieved using BHE or MXvTED

[Hawk9X]

i like the computer in the cockpit not very fond of the textures, or the polys...but the cockpit won me over cause thats all i see

[Ace Knight 1]

[wassup1444465]

[General Edor Crespin]

Just two hours?
