Electronic Dreams

Mmm, I want one! :)

I know what you mean! Unfortunately we have all been born several centuries (possibly millenniums?) too early. Now I know what the ancient peoples must have felt like when they saw birds in flight and dreamed about soaring through the sky, but at least we can still dream too. ;)

Lovely work Steve Tyler, well done! :cool:
 
Yep Steve Tyler should be on the FD payroll

Steve, Why don't you collect all your Frontier Models/Screenshots
and present them to Mr Braben himself. You just never know....

They get the seal of approval from my wife, She has already complained
about the new Polizia stuck to the fridge! :rolleyes:
 
thanks guys, the model is now online, see the first post.

back already?

Seems the consensus is that i should apply for a job here... settle down at a games studio? me? here? Yeah, it would be awesome wouldn't it... Just the possibility of being involved in Elite IV....:D

In all seriousness I think you should. I've been following your work on Scifi-Meshes for a few years now and think that you would be quite the asset to a team like Frontier.

Job application here mate: http://www.frontier.co.uk/jobs/vacancies/?artid=105&pageNum=0&blk=6

It's got you all over it!

We are looking for vehicle artists who have a good sense of design, together with experience of creating high quality vehicles. We strive to maximise the creative input from our art team, and we currently have projects encompassing a range of genres.

Successful candidates will also have a strong interest in gaming, a good working knowledge of 3DS Max, good knowledge in and of low and high poly modelling, UV mapping, texturing and advanced use of shaders. Experience in Photoshop and concept skills are highly advantageous.
 
AWESOME....:eek:

i cant belive you got all that into a 1meg download

'resistance is futile' - love it

i look forward to your next project .....

provided Mr B doesn't sign you up straight away to singlehandedly resurect the franchise

great work Steve
 
Awesome,theres been some really good reimagined ship and this one hits all the right spots.look forward to see what you do next.
 
Just played with this craft in the game. I really like the under carriage animation too - that's spot on.....now, I better get back to work.
 
Beautiful work, but where is the main gun on these ships? In the game, the vipers have only one gun mounting point , but it seems to be invisible.

Great work!

Wouldn't it need the air intakes when it's in the atmosphere?
Not unless they either had (horribly inefficient) combustion drive separate from the fusion one, or were able to use atmospheric air as reaction mass somehow, which would be too much of a hassle given how little time do they spend in the atmosphere.

On the new model it's perfectly visible, though.

BTW: Are there any projects to make registrations visible on the new models? I'd prefer text to be taken from game and added as decals or smth.

Also, I have minor gripe with the cockpit - Viper is a single seat craft so this kind of canopy would be impractical as it would obscure the vision too much.
