but I think I'm done with the exterior modeling part of my higher poly Z-95 (around 25k tris currently). Next up is the interior, and that is going to be oh so much fun. I might round out a few things but we'll see.

Overview

Front gear closeup - note the conc missile launcher...


I might consider texturing it, but idk, if anyone else wants to make textures, I'll be happy to supply the file. XD

And as per trademark, whatcha think?

Holy hell, that's really good. Can't wait to see textures on it!

It really puts shame to the stock JA Z95 model I used in my level.

Looking spankariffic as usual.

Thanks for the kind words. Here's a composite shot of the smooth with the wireframe and then a flat shaded version.





Happy Fathers Day. I'll try to get working on teh cockpit area tomarrow.

Two question:
Is the launcher tube actually big enough to fire a missile?
Is the landing gear really that low? I know the X-wing is higher, maybe I just never noticed that the Z-95 sat that low.

Looks great otherwise.

A very small missile but as for the landing gear, I used my artistic license since it seemed more economical to make it lower (less materials, lower CoG => more stable, smaller ladder or smaller jump, etc.). However if you can find a reference, I will change it.

Looks cool, as for the landing gear height, looks like it doesn't leave much margin for error in landing. Maybe a tiny bit more height would justify a slightly bumpy landing/uneven surface.

But very trivial, looks fine the way it is.

I like the low gear, makes it look really heavy.

It would be impossible to work on

It retracts

There's never any textures...

There have been textures......just never anything good enough to be worth remembering. Anyways, finally found the time and put the effort into the cockpit making it look spiffy. It prob took longer than it should because I'm the type of person who doesn't model something unless it has a purpose or function, therefore each and every thing in the cockpit has a function which I could label. Also I gave it abit more ground clearance (about 9" or so) and added a gas cap which I will show only by popular demand.

I think the flightstick still needs some work. Ahh one more thing to do.


Whatcha think?

I think you're awesome for using the old star wars space sims as a model for the cockpit

Cockpit's awesome. I support the notion of making the landing gear a bit longer, though.
