General Frank:

Model works fine and performs well.

 

[Maedh]

Looks nice! Small size too. Gj!

 

[Anti_Bodies]

for those who needed a smaller version of your Galactica model, they can just use this. Its very similar to the galactica model, so dont worry about makeing a smaller version of that (you stated that if people want you will make a smaller model). Good job.

 

[Lord_Sauron]

Hmmm, I couldn't get it to work. The skin wouldn't read as a blp file.

 

[Zombie]

To tell the truth, I kinda like the model. Despite its poly count is very large, it is very well detailed and useful.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

i got the model to work, but to select in in game or in editor i have to drag a box around it. can you fix this? (so that when u click it you select it). i plan on having targeting spells in my game and i know people will want to target this bad boy. thanks

Horrid polycount for going into WC3
The texture is rather bland, very deconstrasted, with not any real shading. Shading's not really important for such a model, though, but it's good to have it in some areas. And detail needs a lot of work (those gray lines and dark spots aren't really convincing)
I suggest you go over those lines again and work in some detail on the metal panels, you should look at some references
The team color is also a bit stark

Wow it took forever for this to get approved, I'm happy to see it her e!

DO NOT post requests in the resource section. Those go in the actual request section of the forum

What a piece of junk comment, type something useful next time or face some punishment.

 

[Massive_attack]

What makes THIS a piece of junk ? I want to see a troll like you do better.

 

[syc]

Thanks for all the constructive critisizm guys (don't bother correcting my spelling though, im beyond help) Ill try to make the texture higher contrast. It probably lost something going from 5120 x 5120 to 512 x 512.

The reason for the high poly count is that it was created for Freespace and other 3d space sims (by coxxon) and I have been blessed with the task of bringing these beauties (all 597000 polies) to WC3 for some requestors and myself. My modest attempt at reducing the size is the best i can do without 3dsmax. Im using the free tools I had. But if anyone feels like helping out, please PM me and Ill be glad to give people the origionals to play with.

Thanks again guys.

Ps. Ill try to make something usefull next time

What a piece of junk! Make something useful

sigh, such foolishness. this is a great model. im very glad you updated it. now i only hope that someone with real tools (not free ones) can continue to work on this with syc's permission, id like a lower poly count.

 

[tyeeeee1]

Just a random question * not about wc3* But why do they call the ships battlestar's?
And what model editor did you use?

 

[syc]

I used Vertex Modifier 1.14 by Oinkerwinkle, War3 Model Editor v1.05 by Magos and Milkshape demo to remove some polies so the other two don't crash.

 

[williamerkul]

Nice ship XD i can't wait till this is done

 

[NinjaDino]

awesome model, very useful in lot kind of maps 5/5
I watched Galactica some time but i missed ending episode, vhen they destroy some drone carrier or something =/

 

[Vicboy]

You made 2 new units in my map... Thanks... Good models btw... Keep it up, they ain't useless, even Lord_Sauron needs some of these...

 

[Childeric]

This is just excellence. Good call reducing the file size. In game it looks great, so i dont think reducing the dimensions was a bad decision.

 

[syc]

Actually I left the dimensions the same and just fixed the extents. It seems that WC3 needs to have the maximum latteral, virtical and front/rear extents as a variable instead of using the actual model to determine the size.

 

[williamerkul]

How do u get models into the game???(i forgot XD)

 

[syc]

You can ask people in the forums but i think thats one of the most common questions on this site.

this will surely help you =)

 

[Olem]

Great model, looks stunning ingame.

 

[Evilblade]

Looks like a great ship model, keep the good stuff rollin' in.

 

[NiPsHair]

loooks pretty real. goodjob. hey, what unit is best for this model? Goblin Zeppelin?

 

[syc]

Thanks for all of the encouragement. I will try wo release the last few units needed for a basic map, and then I will try to reduce the size of the textures without reducing the quality (maybe try indexed colour, if i can get it to accept that). There is not much I can do to reduce polly count unless i totally masacre the models and leave these up for cinimatics.

 

[Anti_Bodies]

For me personally, i would like my models to not exceede 250 kb, so if you could make an alternate version the models you release, that would be great. For exmaple:

Pegasus (high) 500 kb
Pegasus (low) 200 kb

and release them both, because for my map (and im sure others), is gettin pretty high with the kb count. so if your willing to make alternate low kb versions of your models, that be appreciated.

 

[ShaDowPoWeR]

but its imposible it will look horrible with low polys, its perfect at it is. 5/5 +rep, far away from w3 models -.-

What a piece of junk! Make something useful

I think its funny that everyone here seems to have though that that was what he said, but this is realy just his sig


Anyway, Awsome model

 

[Reaper51]

I can see a very useful model for my map!

 

[DiMiX]

Callex if u can read this, this model would make a SWEET carrier And it's right according to the schematics and pics i sent u via email.

 

[Joccaren]

Another Nice model. This will be one of my other capital ships...
To whoever asked 'why call them battlestars', it is named after the ship it is based off in a tv series called battlestar galactica. Their are... were twelve of these ships defending the twelve colonies of kobold against the cylon forces. These are the colonials main battleships. Why call them battleSTARs, I have no real idea but it is probably because it is a battleship in space where the stars are.

 

[EXK9527]

This is the best battlestar galactica pegasus model ever!!!!!!!!!!! it is like the pegasus in BSG Online =))))))

 

[EXK9527]

Syc, can you make a battlestar valkyrie?

 

[Bravert]

hi, by any chance you will not have a model of the ship from the movie Stargate Goa'uld. the pyramid-shaped craft???
