Razor Crest Map WIP

[Plague-Angel]

Hi guys,

 

Been a while since I posted anything anywhere! Just thought I'd share a current WIP I W'ing on

So far I'm only really concentrating on the ship itself which wont be 100% accurate on size or detail due to the engine and time constraints.

Haven't decided on which setting to dump it in yet, it'll either be Nevarro or that ladies repair bay on Tatty.

No way, it looks absolutely amazing. Will you model the interiors of it too? 

[Plague-Angel]

Thank you Noodle.

I will be doing some of the interior yes. I've had to make it around a third larger than the one in the series to enable you to move around in it. 

I know Mando uses a ladder of sorts to get to the upper deck but I may need to put a lift in instead as it'll be very tight

Get rid of the environment map shader, adds way too much gloss/glass like effect. Should just use specular shine.

I think the best choice is in tatooine repair bay, you already have many maps with examples of that kind of landing pad, and it is self-contained enough...

To be a great contender in the mod contest, you should seek for a innovation (eg. small map like mos krettle landing pad concept with Tatooine RPG space traveling concept)

I agree with the Tatooine hanger suggestion.

It's an encapsulated environment, so easier to translate to a map.   

And it's also been featured several times in the show, and probably will continue to be a setting as the show continues on.

Though do whichever one you enjoy, it's your map and working on something you like makes the process more enjoyable.

You can make the ladder work if you make a trigger that makes the player jump to the top when used. There are a couple maps that use this technique, but I can't really remember any aside from a map in MBII where you can go up through some vents like that.

Thanks for the suggestion Midtaurus & Fullkevlar. Tatooine does seem like the best setting, I already have lots of textures and prefabs made for that type of setting. Was thinking of having a trigger on the speeder bike in the bay that would teleport you to that town where Mando met the Boba knock off but for now I'll focus on the RC and the bay.

Noodle- I have played on maps that use jump pads, either player triggered or automatic, the Firefly map uses them in the crew quarters I believe. I did manage to make a ladder that worked alright using lots of tiny invisible step clip-brushes. Will have to see what works best when I get to that area.

Just a small clip showing the engines firing up and failing. Figured if I put it in the repair bay it wont exactly be firing on all thrusters

That's awesome. Great job!

Thank you for those! I watched bits of the ilm video a little while ago. Very cool that they still use real models and not just pure cg.

I forgot the thing had those air brakes... Might be a cool little feature to add

And the "shiny" ship... you should workout the texture

[ZanderNao]

WOW! It's been so long. I love ship maps, and like everyone else said, Peli Motto's Tatooine repair shop would make a great setting. I also like the upscaled idea so you can move around. It's looking astounding so far, and the interactive features are the best!

[Plague-Angel]

Just a small update really.

Started working on the interior of the Crest. Just a basic fleshing out really, the chairs in the cockpit will be replaced with ones similar to the show and old Solo wont be in the block at the end.

Looking good.

But how did they fit 3 Blurrg in there?  

[AshuraDX]

@Plague-Angel I agree with minilogoguy on the current Environment shader, however I do think that a better constructed shader could work wonders on this model. Considering the incredible chrome look the razorcrest has in the show. I'll gladly help with constructing a proper looking material Definition. Just shoot me a pm

[Aldro Koon]

This looks awesome

[Plague-Angel]

@AshuraDX Thank you for your offer of help though this isn't a model, its a map. Unless you meant that? I'm using a basic specular shader for it now but if you've got any tips on how to polish it up some more or a better shader that'd be great!

 

I have been working on the textures/shader for the exterior but they still need a lot of work as there are a lot of smaller plates, greeblies on the hull but I'll add them as time goes on.

 

 

 

 

And just for fun, I thought as this was based on the A10 I'd make a version that looked a little more A10 like

You made that with just brushes?

Yep. Any 3d stuff outside of Radiant for me is like staring into hyperspace!

I'll be making some of the smaller details out of larger brush works and then convert them to .ase's and downsize them

Even more impressive!

[Plague-Angel]

Started work on the cockpit today, been putting it off for a while now and after the last episode I feel like putting it off forever! ha ha

 

[ZanderNao]

WOW! It is coming along so well! The layout is perfect, the colors are popping. Marvelous!

[PreFXDesigns]

This is awesome Plague-Angel! Keep up the good work !
