Aside from planets seen in the movies, i think fans themselves or the devs might come up with an EU map once in a while, perfect place for a ship like this.

Stick with it WarHawk, im sure the guys will help out if need be by virtue of advice or textures.
Who knows do a good enough job on it and we can stick it ingame (subject to approval)

It's designed by the Mon Calamari. To me it looks like a blend of an MC 80 and a gallofree medium transport. Very star warsy to me...
Anyway, It's not that hard to model, as I have said, I have started designing the overall 3d shape.

not much to look at, it's just some lines I drew to get the basic shape, once I am finished the design I will trace over it with polygons.

Well actually truth be told it was designed by the artist who worked on the comicbook, unless it appeared in any EU material prior.

Obviously my opinion is only an opinion, but asthetically to me it doesn't look all that Star Warsy. Yeah, I can see the elements of a Gallofree Transport in there, I just don't see this design as something you would have been likely to see in the original movies, the design doesn't carry on the same asthetic style as the ships seen there. But like I say it's only my opinion.

I've been doing it off and on for maybe 5 or 6 years, never really completed anything, always hit a wall when it comes to texturing or adding it to a game. I use rhino 3d for making my models, i know 3ds a bit but not very well.

Looks very Prequel-ish, and I'm more of an Original Trilogy guy.

What's your experience with modeling, WarHawk?

whats not star warsy about it?

Yeah, same here, I kinda like the design, and can see a few Star Wars style influences in there if I really look hard, but yeah, it doesn't have much of an overall Star Warsy feel to me.

I think it looks bland and unoriginal. Looks like something from the matrix rather than Star Wars imo.

I like the design.

looks impressive tbh but wouldn't it take forever to make i mean the amount of lil edges in the landing foot thingy would take agesssss

lol real nice generalrievous. no but genral is right. that looks to be an intense model, do you think you have the guts to pull it off, lets find out after the break. ok we are back, and nope he didnt pull it off, what a shameful day. JK. i suck at modelling, i am a good skinner though
