Homeworld ship size compairson charts

[codieray]

Hey Hey Fellow members,

The other night in the wee hours of the morning I was surfing the net and I found a fourm that had a lot of dicussion on the size of the HW ship along with the discusssion there were several charts showing these compairsions. I remember one showed a HW ship with a old train. There were others showing starwar ships and the like. Well I thought I'd copied them but all I wound up with is jibberish does anyone know where I might get these charts in a usable format.

Thanks

Codieray

Can you share the link with us, codieray? I'd like to see it.

Seconded for naming the forum at the very least. I remember seeing a chart with all the important ships lined up together, complete with one of the Cores. This sounds like a promising place to find that again.

I believe I found the site codieray was talking about on the RelicNews forum.

It's a very long thread, but I think the OP, trebmal_ca, is a little off if you take a look at some of the concept drawings, like this one.

But that's just my opinion.

I'd like to see what you found before, Yoji!

Cheers!

Is there any way to tell, from the .big file, the size of HW ships in relationship to each other?

[arlia101]

Faber-
do you mean, without extracting them and rendering them side-by-side? I think there may be... I will get back to you on that one.

[faeber]

Yes, Arlia, that is exactly what I'm looking for! I've built three of Yessmasster's models so far, but I'd like to build them to scale with each other (at least within ship class). It'd be nice to know their "real world" size, but that doesn't matter too much to me.

Thanks for checking!

[arlia101]

Okay... I have just about all those models extracted already.. would a list of pixel/unit lengths suffice for you?
I.e.: Kushan scout - 35pxl
Kushan interceptor - 50 pxl
etc.?

[faeber]

Ooooo! That would be nice! Thanks arlia!

I made this ridiculously large picture line up of the Hiigaran fleet a while back, would that be relevant perhaps? Or were we just talking 'Kushan'?
Oh well, here it is anyways:

NOTE: All ships to the right of the mothership have their rears perfectly lined up vertically(excluding rear antennas on larger ships).
NOTE2: These are the "exact" relative scales of the models as they come out of the game-model-files. Although, there could be code in the game altering their size as the models loads, as that would make it easier to fine tune the scale than to actually alter the models. I have not checked that out, and I believe it would be rather hard as well... just pointing out the possibility.

Sorry about the L o o n g wait time... I've been updating/ reinstalling just about everything on my computer the last few months, and havent gotten back to the forums for much beyond lurking.
