New models

[sitters]

Sitters, is there anything you can't model?  (Seriously!)  

BTW, If I keep at what I've been doing lately with modeling, you might start to have a little competition in a few years or so, give or take:

I have learn a lot last years, now i don't have much limits anymore with modeling.
Only always have the problem where I model for, ( games ) it must be so bloody low poly.

I more like model the details, then painting them,
especially with one material ( it looks 100 times better ).

nice - let's see this textured please

[Mattn]

if you could do something about the crashed ufo sites that would be quite nice, too. maybe you can use the geoscape models from http://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ufoai/ufoai/trunk/base/models/geoscape/ - we don't need one for every kind of ufo - we just need a wreck of an ufo in a form that nobody can really say which ufo it was. Doing the same for the dropships would be cool, too - we don't have dropship rescue missions yet, but they will come at one point, and having the model for this already then would help us a lot.

thanks again for all your work.

I like the alien base model. I was thinking about how to do it because these bases should be normally well-hidden, but one can't model a well-hidden building and place it on the geoscape. So I think the approach (designing something that looks "alien" and "futuristic") works quite well!

wow - fantastic, a really nice job (i should save this sentence somewhere )

[misiek]

Sitters, your models are really great

After you'll finish all remain models (), maybe you could look at current models and try to create better versions for them?

I don't know what Ufo: ai team thinks about it, but i think that it's always good to replace art with better looking version (like in battle of wesnoth).

just found some other todos:

/** @todo Should be a special story related mission model */
story related missions should somehow be marked as important missions.

/** @todo each category should have a its own model */
categories are:
INTERESTCATEGORY_RECON
INTERESTCATEGORY_XVI
INTERESTCATEGORY_HARVEST
INTERESTCATEGORY_TERROR_ATTACK
INTERESTCATEGORY_BUILDING

those are nothing 2.3 critical - but would be nice to have models.

i will also add them to the wiki todo list.

sitters, wow!

Please, can you make some eastern-style, japan or chinese models? «+japan» assembly needs in big sculpture (eastern lion or dragon), and Chinese lanterns. And, fantail to wall.
(I hope I`m not so annoying? ;-) )

[sitters]

I look what I can do.

Here a other crash.

Yeah,  this is a nice theme for a new model-pack for my site.

willem, you know what? we are currently thinking about redesigning the geoscape a little bit to bring your excellent models more into the foreground. but if we do that, we would also need a new model for the phalanx base.... - you know what i wanted to "ask"? :-D
