Directed energy weapons --> Bombs, especially when there are 8 Lance Lasers (Basically beam weapons on crack) firing on both ground and air targets.

It's just that the preferred target is ground, so it can get an easier shot on slower moving, non-airborne targets.

Happy birthday, Scythian Empire! And that fighter/bomber is absolute win. Styling is definitely one of the best air vehicles I have seen, can't wait for you to build it irl. Great work!

Time for a new pet project . . .

http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/9835 ... 6at084.png

You guys remember this beast right? My LDD Immortal stealth carrier - armed with nothing more than a fighter/bomber wing - two black hole missiles and its stealth fields to keep it hidden from the advancementsa of the Scythian navy?

Well . . . I started a new pet project . . .

My only problem so far? I am useless at skinning - I can add more detail until the cows come home - but I am useless at skinning/texture mapping . . . but lemme know what yu guys all think . . .

Nice job!

A good way to start with texturing is with a simple cube model.
Try planar mapping and create images to go on each face so it looks like that white cube on the Maya perspective view port.
Then try UV mapping and make one image with all those sides on it.

UV mapping is the only way you'll get a model into a game engine.
But if you'll never take it out of Maya any mapping will work.

Taa dude for the critism dude, tis appreciated - I'm going to keep working up the details on the beast before I attempt the texturing still, I normally use the UV mapping menu within Maya - but I have never worked my head around on faces on a model work on a UV map.

As for a game engine, I'm not too concerned about making a game - I can't wrap my head around code . . . what I might try is animating though - starting off with a simple battle or two once I have "converted" (IE - built) a few more models and then work my way up from there . . .

Waiting for things to render though, is a bitch - so If I do try this, don't expect me to be patient or happy until it is done.

That looks like a Cylon Raider and the Battlestar Galactica had an assymetrical but also very badass baby. :guinness:

NOTE - STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS

Image

So yeah, I took the Orpheus, the Tarantula, the Black Widow and the Termite . . . along with an Alien set I got for crimbo - and I SMASHED THEM.

I then rebuilt them . . . into THIS (Work in progress)

Image

Image

Image

The Immortals think they can outgun us? FEH?!

Image

The upstart Assyrians think they can out-tech us? We had an empire twice the size of thiers before they even learnt how to make flushing shitters!

Image

We have learned to defend ourselves, we re-learned the arts of war from an Army that was nothing more than a bread basket.

Now we sharpen our steel.

This Galaxy needs a Scythian fist to back-slap it back into the status quo . . . and the SUPER DEATH SPIDER TANK will do it.
