Vaygr BC Redux?

[conand81]

I'm thinking of remaking Ent-E's Vaygr Battlecruiser... well, I AM going to do it, but I wanted to know if this would be anything you guys would embrace? If not, I'll keep it to myself.

The thing is that his model is not colored, neither is the textures any good(no offense, but it looks like he applied blur one time to many). The folds and page-layout will be exactly the same so that it works with Ent-E's AI... so if I should share it, Ent-E will obviously get full credits for doing the horse-load of it all, namely the unfolding and the AI.

What say ye? Do I have your blessing, or do you not want to take part in it?

hey, id say give it a try at least; are you starting from scratch again and going to replicate the module-ing, or can you retexture the existing pages?
if you go from scratch again i can try making a detail/module set to scale like I did to the HBC

[conand81]

Yeah, I'm starting from scratch making a .pdo-file instead... so you can apply your own textures if you want, neater that way I think, I'm even going to supply a extra set of textures for the "Makaan Elite Guard"... plus, you get a 3D-model for reference, especially good for those damn antennas all over the model, when I did mine I had to have the actual game running in the background to be able to pinpoint the antennas position. >_<
Oh, I'm like... almost done. Adjusting the flaps as we speak, front and middle module all done! ;D
But I've noticed Ent-E did some simplifications on the model that I have not, especially on the hangar bay, hopefully it will not make it all that much harder to assemble... he had also removed some very tight parallel folds, but I think you'll survive, could just do a fold in between the lines if the paper is too thick I guess. ^_^;

Also, I decided to include every last bit and bolt, so all details are in there! I have put them on the two last pages, so they could be considered optional if you don't have the patience.

I reckon I'll be done with it tomorrow, all those tiny details will prolly take quite some time.


PS
It will prolly be a couple 'o cm larger than the original.

[conand81]

Good heavens, just look at the time!... it would seem I'm already done with it. Now if someone impartial would like to revise it all for me, I will be a happy camper. ^_^

Any wishes on additional texture-sets? In addition to the regular fleet color "White with Black stripes" I'll also supply "Black with Red stripes" representing Makaans Elite Guard... further more I'm thinking of shipping along a grey/grey set so that all ppl that have built Ent-E's VBC can add the extra details if they would like to, and even if this ship is slightly bigger than the previous one it should not have such large impact on the size of the details, so they should still fit pretty nicely.

feel free to use as much colour sheme you can get. and dont worry about building instructions. i can make a pic A.I. :-)

[conand81]

kewl, otherwise I think that the original AI by Ent-E will suffice... and about the color shemes... I do them in BMP, so the file will get quite big even if I compress it.

... DL-link will be available in about 30min btw.

[Auris]

no pdo? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

[conand81]

I meant the additional textures, pepakura only like BMP an JPG, and I'm not so keen on making jpg-textures, so of course will there be a pdo.

Here's the link: savefile.com/files/535295 Tell me if you get any trouble with this site, I'm trying it out a little.

Note: this is kind of a "beta version", so I do not recommend that you print it out, also it's locked(if this matters to you I don't know), give me some feedback on the layout, faulty flaps and stuff like that, and then I'll release an unlocked version with some more textures and touched up AI(and if you want, Auris, you can help me out on that).

[Auris]

WHOW!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i will build it!!

[conand81]

Flaws detected! File will be password protected to prevent further spreading, PM me for password if you want to take a look at it anyways... final model will probably be up in a few days.
