As do I, maybe the in-game model could use a tune-up so it doesn't have flat sides.

Yeah.  I mapped them differently, and I used TrueSpace to convert the in-game version.  The texture could use a few tweaks as well.

Mixael... I love you more than anyone else in Sol until Colossus is finished.

The bomblets will not get more sides... the model is already pushing 2000 polies. Adding a single side would add 12 polies per bomblet... that's 144 polies, and you guys are probably thinking like at least 2-4 more sides. I DO have limits.

Also, the votes seem to be in. FSU, Please use Blowfish's model as the Tempest.. I'll leave my download up for anyone that wants to grab it for MOD use. Delete the text off the back area of the texture and you have a unique missile ready for use.

THANK YOU

Infyrno looks tons better.

It's the tech model.  Polygon counts aren't so critical.  Leave it if you want, but a 3k tech model isn't going to kill anyone's computer.

Being a Tech model, you'll only ever see one of it at a time (unless someone is dumb and uses it for the actual model).

[Commander Zane]

Sounds like something I'd do.
Except I haven't done that before.
But now I am.

[sigtau]

Guys?

Calm the **** down.

It's a tech model.  You'll probably never look at it in-game for more than 20 seconds, why are you worrying?

[mjn.mixael]

Nope, the Infyrno will stay as is. With the smoothing and in-game shine, it will look just fine.

This. Remember that the screenshots on OP do not show much smoothing. (Also, the rockeye is rendered in isometric instead of perspective, so you can just ignore the gimpy proportions and such) Look on the previous page at the Infyrno. It does not look low poly.

With the new trails these HTL missiles will be even tastier, any word on progress?

[Glowhyena]

Those missiles are really nice I've seen.

[mjn.mixael]

They are basically complete and are being tested.

[Dragon]

I hope that they'll soon come out as an addon to 3.6.12 Mediavps, not a feature of 3.6.14 VPs.

ok, now it's time to make up some new missile for the shivans that look awesomely shivan yet have the exact same table values that the retail equivalents have.

We already have those.

Yup... If you want to see em, load up the MediaVPs and go to the F3 tech room.

[Aardwolf]

I wonder what ever became of my shivan countermeasure model?

[Bobboau]

is there a dev thread for those missiles?

[mjn.mixael]

they are already in the mediavps, check the f3 techroom
