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.

i have only one word for this ship "FANTASTIC"
-
From what I can see... that looks very impressive... your doing a bang up job ;)
-
Thats totally awesome! That was one of the designs I wass begging him to make- you really hit the nail on the head- wonderous work!!!!!!! First time, give me a break ;) ;D
Keep us posted please!
-
Bump for words on progress - this baby is awesome! :o
-
indeed, bump
-
great job there pepper couldnt have done her better myself :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
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
-
Here is an idea... finish it first... then worry about the poly count rofl
-
just release it, heck with the poly count, it can be reduced... its been 3 months ;D
-
Wow very impressive. A great take on a very nice design. Sure its your first?? :skeptic: ;) lol
-
AkamI, Reverend,
Would either of you like to finish it?
Pepperman
-
I dont work with other peoples meshes dude... sorry.. but you should try and finish her yourself..... great job ;)
-
Bump for update
-
Reverend has offered his services in helping finsh this bird.
-
;D :thumbsup: Sweet, thanks for the update. And thank you Reverend.
-MP
-
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.
-
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.
-
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...
-
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?
-
I can try, I hope MS3d can handle it. Send it on over.
-
Bumping in hopes of a Rommie for the New Year.
-
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.
-
Haven't received this Birdie yet.
-
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
-
INCREDIBLE - you know exactly whaty you're doing.
-
Okay, the Romulan Akhiy' khaiell ("Black Wind") Class Warbird should be ready for download.

Fantastic - I've been growing impatient for this.
-
;D AWESOME! Thanks Pepperman. Your rommies have added a fresh start to my SFC adventures!
-
ah cool, the model works right now....
maaaaaaannnnnnn, that is a very nice ship- excellent work, really. We've/I've been waiting on it for awhile, and it has payed off big time!!
thanks a lot.. cant wait to see the other one youre working on...
-
:woot: :notworthy:
-
Hey Pepperman,
You mind if i do a little kitbashing with this model? i have a great idea for it.
-
Bash on my friend
-
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.
-
That's dynamite Wulf!
I'd like to see that get done. Way cool.
-
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.
-
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
-
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?:D
Semper Fi, Carry On
-
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.
-
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.
-
The textures are down in Paint Shop Pro.
