Umm but again after ANOTHER day of hardpointin' (comin along at a nice clip btw) i decided to go back to my mod in order to make a new model. 2 things...

1. i love lightwave
2. Got this done in no more than 10 mins...weighs in at 1172 pollies (Cutter so only maximum of 10 will be built so in all not too mad )

This is a WarCat, a light cutter pretty good model is say...lol might have to REDO all the models in Lightwave...only thing is i had to take the pics in MS3d as i havent figured out how to render the model in Lightwave then take a picture (i know how to render though )

Now i know the engines look iffy but i had to poly reduce them in Lightwave otherwise they WC would weigh in at 1982 pollies.

Using the same idea i managed to get a 60000 poly model down to 5000 (the lowest it could get before losing mesh quality) like i said i love Lightwave

Such a substantial reduction in poly.... almost sounds too good to be true! Impressive results.

Your hard work will be rewarded... honest...

As for this model - I like it, it kinds looks related to the Daedalus a wee bit - but that might just be me...

As for the rest of this mod - Im excited - its looking promising -a lot of modeling work though, huh?

Lightwave, huh? This sounds too good to be true, I must check this out - where'd you get it?

Its not bad for 45 dollars, also there are many packages and the tutorials are pretty decent just search for it on google seeing as i cant post the web link according to MSFC rules. Helps that its not to taxing in the RAM (256) area either (this comp is strictly trash lol so didnt want to waste money on upgrading it ) other than a view lil tricks im pretty happy with it

As for the modeling...yes...yes there are...more than i wanna say 35...45 some odd fighters....3 Capital ships....stations...and a massive star base cry: looking forward to modeling that lol) plus other odds and ends for various things.

 

[FallenGraces]

well i've mved on and away from A2 for the time being and i found what seems to be a SOASE fore-runner Homeworld (2) truly a beastie lil game came out back in 03...this is the way a STOCK game is supposed to look lol.

older screenies

yeah that massive ball of light is a stock explosion lol a beauty aint it red is allied CPU blue is me

 

[Majestic]

Looking good mate, I myself have been playing a lot of SoaSE over the past couple of days and it is pretty good. I too have both Homeworld 1 and 2 and will be looking into playing those over the kids school holidays as well.

Those screenshots look good, I am looking forward to seeing more.

 

[Jetfreak]

lol, obviously much better than what stock a2 looked. But really, a 2003 game vs a 2001 game? No fair...

Anyway, good stuff, and crisp textures too.

Indeed, A2 should be compared more to Homeworld 1.

But anyway I can't wait till you get a mod installed. Warlords is supposed to be pretty good, it's a Star Wars mod and has some awesome looking models and textures. In fact I am using their images as reference material for my own Star Wars modelling.

lol YOU cant wait? man I cant wait! lol But i wanna get the main campaign done and play all the IA maps fully first. Yeah i saw Warlords and it looks amazing. The BSG mod looks better though hands down IMHO. Afterwards im planning on moving the mod im working one over to the game and i then see about getting an a2 version underway,but thats a ways off. And just recently found the MS3d plugin for H1 and H2, as well as the packers, music converters, etc. Everything to make a mod

And I plan on uploading more

@Jet: Yeah i know unfair but look at H1 looks better that A2 and some A1 models and its a '99 game (right Maj?). Still nice lil tie over till i get SOASE (plan on getting it...eventually)

ADMINS:

I'd prefer if this remains its own post to to the massive amounts of pics
TY
--------------------------------------------------

Anyway 2 1/2 hrs later in a 3v3 game i get these....some are just for looks others are for battle pics. One of em reminds me of the last matrix movie (yeah not that good but one of the coolest things ive ver seen lol) Can you guess which??

Googled and wikied this game before I left for work this morning. I am very impressed with what I've seen. Might be my early Xmas present for myself. Found a BSG mod for it on ModDb and was astounded at this as well.

These are some incredible pics, FG. May I please be your newest HW2 convert?

 

[Majestic]

I am going to have to install a second operating system (WinXP) on my partitioned hard drive to be able to run Homeworld 2. Win7 doesn't like it and XP Mode doesn't run it either.

Why of course lol ill be happy to have you lol.

I am going to have to install a second operating system (WinXP) on my partitioned hard drive to be able to run Homeworld 2. Win7 doesn't like it and XP Mode doesn't run it either.

odd i was reading over at moddb that Windows 7 seems to like it...or i might be wrong it might have been you need to extensive mod (THAT is a really hard mod in terms of gameplay)

side note overall how is Win7 though been thinking of getting it with a new comp but i'm not too sure.

 

[Majestic]

Unfortunately it doesn't play it for me, even XP Mode doesn't. XP mode is a feature you can download and install that allows you to install and run games in an XP environment while not leaving Win7.

Overall Win7 has been fine. It's a bit of a learning curve for the WinXP user, Vista users will have an easier time adjusting.

There are still things I simply don't like but that's because I prefer the older systems like Win98 and even WinXP, even if Win7 is more stable.

I just suggest you have another windows, 98, XP etc so you can have a dual boot system so the older games that Win7 doesn't like you can still play.

The up side, A2 runs on it. I haven't found any issues with it yet, but I have yet to have a full game since my install of Win7.

Awesome FG, some really good shots, looks like we have a true photographer here.

Oh and thanks, the avatar is of Darth Revan, my favourite Sith Lord. I actually found out some interesting facts, one that he really wasn't evil and actually allowed himself to be seduced by the dark side as he discovered the True Sith Empire and knew the Republic was too weak to defend against them. It's the reason he did what he did. I've babbled on enough about that though.

 

[thunderfoot]

FG, you have made my day. These are some spectacular pics! Thanks for making me want it even more than I already do, lol

 

[Jetfreak]

Excellent shots, gotta love that lighting.

yeah but for some reason that background is the most used...there are better ones (and some weirder ones too )

 

[FallenGraces]

...really the only game i CAN post screenies of others are Tactical shooters and cant rally work with em
well here are a few

Spoiler

 

[Majestic]

Oh those look amazing for a game that old. Love the missile streams.

 

[CABAL]

That is what A2 should have looked like.

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I agree, the pics are great, it reminds me a bit of Sins of a Solar Empire too, hehehe. I love those missile trails.

 

[FallenGraces]

well another ship...finally upgraded to 1.8 (MS3d) and reinstalled lightwave
(for some reason my graphics drivers where messed up so reinstalled 'em )

s 3000 somin polly beast...prolly not going into any game just tryin to get beter. Done first in Lighwave the in MS to clean a few things up)


lol if i ever got Legacy guess i can try to mod for that...least i wont have to worry too much about pollies

 

[Majestic]

Looking good FG, the nacelles look pretty high poly that's where the majority of those 3000 pollies are coming from.

Still a rather nice model.

 

[FallenGraces]

Some edited new pics from Nexus the Jupiter incident the UAW mod

 

[thunderfoot]

These are very well done. I like the sense of action in them.

 

[FallenGraces]

lo thxs figured if A2 wont run on my PC anymore id find another way to cope with my armada needs lol

 

[Jetfreak]

Nice blurring too, the overall gfx is very nice.
