VECTOR

Worth mentioning that the interceptor model is now available for a free download, there's a lounge thread but i also thought i'd post it here incase anyone misses is https://www.dropbox.com/s/0geu0e4mioodfu3/Interceptor Vector Edition.c4d?dl=0

Posted them on deviant, opened them in a separate window then copy and pasted the link.

So been floating the idea around to put this up for free for sometime, finally thought screw it , so here it is the "VE" or Vector Edition of the Tie interceptor, basic form is true to the original with some of my own details chucked in, redesigned centre wing cannons, wing tip blasters, greebles, completely redesigned rear wing panels ( these were painful ) , body details, rear thrusters, etc the ship is also considerably wider than the original, giving it more of an aggressive look I tried to clean up the geo, and reduce the poly count as much as possible, while keeping everything smooth looking, Sub D is off by default, as the ship is 11 million polys plus subdivided! having it set to 2 will give the best smoothing quality, all the geo is grouped together in corresponding nulled hierarchy, i didn't even attempt to name each individual part, but i did combine some of the more detailed areas to make it less hectic , i feel like i probably could have done a few bits better if i were to do it again, especially the edges on the bobbley wing panels , i did these last, so they're a bit rough, but by this time i'd pretty much lost the will to live and they're hidden so i didn't care :D nothing special really just a lot of sub d modelled bits chucked together! The model is for personal use only, so i'd appreciate it, if it didn't end up on turbosquid, unless you wanna send me the money ;) model comes untextured, can't be too generous right? there's some 6k images below so you can see what you're getting before you download it ( just need to click them a few times to view them full size) anyways, links below, V Download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0geu0e4mioodfu3/Interceptor Vector Edition.c4d?dl=0

Indeed would be fun to see what it can do. Although I haven't done much of anything 3d lately outside of work this has tempted me to take on another stupidly detailed project, I have a mercersades I started doing some time ago but I think I might pick something else.

First 2 be links are broken for me

Ha, it's a good thing in the long run, but it certainly isn't the best time for another little human, still like you say you can give it back! soon as the little ones in your arms, you'll turn into a soppy mess :P

Ah man don't i recently discovered to my horror, i have another one on the way, seems i have genetically superior swimmers

;) me too although the backlighting is a little strong which making the curvature appear slightly off as the highlight is blending into the white background,probably should have chose a different colour

they are!

just a quick one from a few weeks back.

Also the bit with Leia getting blow out the ship, surviving unpretected exposure to space and then just floating her self back in again just did it for me, also po's character was equally as stupid as Finn, why not just tell him about the plan to begin with Instead of letting him try and take control of the ship, and kylo to me just comes off as an angry depressed goth kid who likes to take his anger out on electrical control panels. I just don't know what Disney are doing , I like what they're doing with the marvel side of things, but I think that's mainly due to the guy they have in charge actually knowing what he's doing but this.. star trek doesn't seem to be faring much better either with discovery .

Yea I wasn't sure if it was stuff we had to wait to find out or just massive plot holes, they didn't bother to fully explain, they build snoke up to be the big bad then just snuff him out...Luke should have been there at the end showing them who's boss. It would have been infinitely more badass if luke was actually there taking those blaster shots like nothing or if he had just crushed all those walkers into tin cans effortlessly, instead we got him floating on a rock...I'd personally prefer a remake of the prequels with the taken out and upto date visual effects, if only to see all those cool light saber battles again :D As for the model yea , I had to take little breaks here and there, put the whole thing together over the space of a month, doing bits and bobs here and there. The only saving grace is I essentially only had to model half of it, although admittedly the wings took near god level patience, once you start doing those you realise how many little details and greebly bits there are on there on top of the fact I was trying to redesign a majority of it to my own liking at the same time.

I actually told him to not get caught but alas no one ever takes my advice

That's a nice model there Dave, funnily enough i actually liked the prequels, for all their flaws there was a lot of fun parts, the saber combat sequences especially, obi vs anakin in episode 3 was especially epic, of course duel of fates, the area on geonosis from episode 2, yoda vs sidious, yoda vs dooku etc, i think lucas did a good job of illustrating what the jedi where like in their prime, with the fineness of lightsaber combat, different styles etc. Pretty disappointed with the latest 2 efforts, and the ending of the last jedi made me want to smash my face through my glass desk, shame really, still a lot of fond memories, atleast we got to see darth vader in all his murderous glory at the end of rogue one, that was a fine starwars movie btw, this looks cool , and it's in london, well it was On the modelling front i think it's time for a new hard surface model but not sure what.

Haha come to think of it he does look similar :P

yea bro totally, stay any time. You just have to be firm, there's times in a mans life where you have to stand your ground , this my friend is one of those times. It's a win win situation when you think about it , either A she just thinks what Eva and lets you get on with it, or B she doesn't talk to you for 3 days giving you peace and quiet you can't lose really.

Decided to do some 6k clay renders for my website, which i should really get around to sorting out! anyway you'll need to click a few times to zoom in but you get a nice close up of all the details

Do it man ;) although maybe try and do it under the radar, although ofcourse I can't condone cheating on your wife with war hammer.

oooh thanks for that haha, fixed :D also included a sketch fab version i've been playing around with Edit - doesn't look like we can embed the player on here

I hope they actually do something with it, and haven't just bought it to make sure no one else gets hold of the technology. I'm also hoping they got the original developer on board for atleast some consulting time. Can't imagine having to reverse engineering someone else complex coding.

Nice one man, getting better all the time, this is gonna make smashing out hard surface stuff much easier :D

it's looking ok but the fact those letters aren't properly/perfectly straight or aligned bothers me

no problem i know you old people struggle to keep up with the times

You're most welcome dude. As fresh said intially when i set this up I was cautiously optimistic when I set the goal of a thousand. I wasn't sure what to expect but certainly I didn't think it would get anywhere near that amount so when we had nearly three quarters of it with in the first 24 hours I was shocked to say the least. It's really a testimont to how people feel about you in this community , I think I speak for everyone when I say you've gone out of your way to help people on this forum with your expertise and knowledge, so it's time we all paid a little back.

Star citizen is a game, so I'm guessing he's making an intro for a clan type thingy
