<div class="IPBDescription">i got bored with hammer</div> :note: if you havent played homeworld, this prolly wont be as impressive

i got bored today (actually yesterday now <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

so i decided to create something in hammer
that something was...

a Taiidan Ion Cannon Frigate

at first it seemed easy, then i discovered that the homeworld unit viewer is nowhere to be found online.
so i loaded homeworld, took some screenies, and did the best i could

near the end, i got so sick of vertex manipulation errors that i skipped "real"ness for "done"ness

anyway, here are the pics

    Hey, that's pretty good, really looks like the frigate! Now the next step... copy it some times, create a mothership, get a space sky, and create a massive battle <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> !

    Heres a Taiidan Ion cannon frig in the actual game for those whom havent played for comparability.

    Good job, now do a Kushan Ion Frig <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Nice one! I was looking at the first picture thinking that looks alot like an ion frigate from homeworld. then i read down a little <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    Nice action shot, but I remember the ION beams being lighter like achio's ion cannons <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I still like the resemblance to the homeworld frigate, are you going ot create more homeworld ships or maybe even your own design?

    the number seems to be dependent on the angle you are viewing the ship at, but the hightest w_poly i saw was 74 (the thing kept trying to zap me)
    Off Topic Disagree Agree Awesome
  • PashPash Join Date: 2003-06-22 Member: 17619Members
    How about you temporarily remove the zaping bit and find the highest w_poly count?

    I was thinking of doing one of these, actually a corvet. Wish i could remember the exact name, the one that specalises in shooting down fighters. The really complicated one...

    Well anyway i was thinking of doing that a while ago but i got a tad distracted with another idea for a ship to put on my map. A Thunder Hawk Gunship from Warhammer 4k. Dont know how but ive got at most a w_poly count of 400.
    And if yours is really that low then, How!? I really need to know cause mine probably got the same amount of vertex's.

    i did not read the thread text... and i dont know if my idea is that u talking about here ^^

    <span style='color:orange'><b>My Idea: </b></span>
    <i>You are a Marine... you are in a Shuttle. The Shuttle is moving in the galaxy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    You can see it when u look out of the windows.... after a selected time the shuttle cmoes down on a planet. There are the aliens. </i>
    <b>
    The good (The sence of it):</b>
    <i>The two teams (marines and aliens) can built up all important things to evolove.
    So the Marines are upgrading all and the Aliens are bulding up the 3 hives.
    However, you know....

    After the "downcoming" of the shuttle, the spawnpoint for marines is in the shuttle and you have to go out of the shuttle to fight against the damn aliens ^^.
    The Alines start ever in the game on the planet. only the marines are in the shuttle...</i>

    <span style='color:red'><b>The Bad:</b></span>
    You dont can fight against your enemy before the shuttle comes down.


    The Idea is simple to tell... you dont fight in upgradetimes... you are fighting in fullevoloved times and you fight on highest level.... ^^

    It could be a ns_Map or co_Map.

    ^^

    That frigate was cool looking! It'd be very cool to put in the background of a map, outside a window. Great eye candy. Man, that's cool.

    ok, i disabled the zap, loaded it up, i didnt see anything 80 or above on r_speeds

    it has 22 brushes (and the origin brush)

    it CAN aim (its a func_tanklaser) and it has a full sphere of range

    It cant be a co_map, you wouldnt be able to get full upgrades then without killing anyone, and anyway it'd take you at least 20 mins before u even saw battle. Hives take a while to build. So im with DarkSeraph on that one.


    Ye a multi gun, that'd be cool to make... a bloody nightmare but im gonna have a go at that somtime... if i ever finish owt im planning for maps.

    So youd got all these plans for your map, have u actually made any part of it? Or should i say has your m8 made any of it yet?
