Psawhn:
I've already posted these in the Loading Screens thread, but I would like some feedback on these.




I modified the saracen .blend file and textures a bit. ;) Among the features I added are:


Thruster fans, landing gear, and fan/gear/weapons bays.


Vectoring vanes for the main thrusters.


Topside thruster fans, and the open panels were closed in for aerodynamics. :)

The fans were inspired by the X/F-35 JSF. Combined with those and the rear vanes vectoring thrust downwards, the craft can do a short takeoff (just like documented in the wiki/ufopedia).

Hopefully I can make some more scenes, like a hangar equipping scene, and a takeoff/landing scene. :)

Overall I like the stuff you changed, and . . .

HELL yes. That image is simply awesome.

The other one is a bit boring, I'm afraid. Maybe a different pose, like looking up at a flight of 3 Saracens far, far above?

That would also make a great perspective for viewing a PHALANX/UFO air battle.

The Saracen model already had landing gear, textured and everything -- what happened to that? It should be in SVN somewhere.

Yes, it's even the default view in the blender file (and there is an exported saracen.md2 and saracen_interceptor_flying.md2 file), so from the looks I guess Psawhn exchanged it with something different? :)

Overall very good work Psawhn - shall I add the new/changed model to svn if that is ok with everybody?

EDIT fixed bad sentence ;)

Psawhn:
You can add the files to svn if you want. :)

It's taking forever for them to upload to my webdisk for some reason, though... when they're up they'll be in this directory:
https://webdisk.ucalgary.ca/~djetowns/public_html/misc_files/UFO_AI/saracen_render/

Hoehrer:
Many thanks, I've added the files to svn.

When I have some time I'll try to create a new static low-poly version (with and without landing gear, but especially the latter is a lot better now 8)) out of it.

Werner

PS: Love your detailed work in the rigging btw.  :)
