Freespace 2 models

[maeglamor]

Hi guys, found this forum a while back and have been impressed by the high level of work shown.

I've gotten around to registering to see if anyone was still interested in some Freespace models, I saw a thread in the request forum and had decided to have a go at building a model or two myself. Anyhow here are the results:

Orion Destroyer - WIP


Check this thread for more details and a PDF: link

There's also a Shivan fighter and a Vasudan transport if anyone's interested. As a matter of interest I'm not sure if you all know but being space game fans you make like Freespace 2. It's been free for a while now and has had some serious gameplay and graphical upgrades facilitated by the talented people in our Source Code Project team.

Take a look.

looks really nice

Welcome to our forum btw, any models are welcome, you should email this one to Enterprise-E as soon as possible.

The model is incomplete, some of the texture UV's were corrupted in the conversion. Also it is missing turrets and radar dishes. Since nothing will be changed in the main hull mesh I built that as a beta and then refined the mesh. There are no build instructions either so it does not complete your criteria for hosting on this site Enterprise E.

I'll be finishing the model sometime after my exams end. In the meantime though there is at least one other complete model available, you can check them out on the same thread I posted a link to.

That's one good looking model. Just a question: are You using the retail freespace2 meshes and textures, or high-res ones?

[maeglamor]

It uses the retail mesh. The high poly Orion is far more complicated, perhaps too complicated to build.

[Deimos]

Yes, the new orion itself is a very complex mesh, but aren't there high-res textures for retail orion availible?

[maeglamor]

Not that I can remember. The textures are quite detailed as is in any case.
