Lambda Shuttle

[ChalklYne]

Figured I'd release a non-crashed version of this thing along with the mod

 

 

heres some work on its skele

 

 

the inside of the back is all modelled in so you can see in there when its landed. not sure if it'll let you walk in there yet

[DT.]

Hey Chalk that looks awesome! When it's done, can I please use it in my DF2 Mod?

[ChalklYne]

sure.

 

heres a few more anims

[ChalklYne]

should be about the complete anim set. Taking my sweet ass time on textures for some reason

One thing I am wondering is why does the shuttle have a ramp in the back of the ship instead of the front? I'm not saying it is a bad thing I am just wondering.

Agreed. It looks awesome! But I was wondering that too.

[DT.]

Because the "nose" of the ship would be in the way.

 

I don't think the empire had you in mind when they designed her, @@ChalklYne

[ChalklYne]

holy shit! did i do it wrong? lmfao. I was going off memory of the opening scene in tfu i thought i remembered vader walking down the ass ramp of a lambda. hold on ill research her rofl. wow. no worries not a big prob. but def a prob if thats the case

[ChalklYne]

oh boy. im a total tard. ill fix that tonight. rofl

 

ahhhhhh good times.

 

thanks for the heads up guys this mod woulda looked real retarded. not too big of a prob modelling wise, sure will change my uv maps though lol

 

 

 

[Circa]

Honestly I think it would have made sense for them to make the ramp in the back like you thought but I guess not.

[ChalklYne]

no need to model as much interior them which kicks ass 4 me

[DT.]

So the ramp is meant to be at the front? I got confused lol.

[ChalklYne]

yup. she's a front loader

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now does the ramp come down from under the cockpit? or slide out like a uhaul ramp? XD

It comes down. Reference: Return of the Jedi opening scene.

If you ever need a clip from the Star Wars movies, just ask. I can get it for you in 1080p.

[ChalklYne]

better?  excuse the janky camera and lighting im just not in the mood to mess with it. saved me a bunch of geometry doing it this way =)

 

 

 

I just need to model in new flaps for the landing gear. I just didnt like the old ones they fit weird.

[ChalklYne]

Im sittin around 2600 tris with everything in this pic. not too shabby...

 

 

 

 

 

Still plenty of work to do on thinning the wing details and the small amount at the bottom of the wings that needs 2 boxes... all in all not too expensive and the thing operates great. In XSI at least. 

[Milamber]

you added borders to the walkway, it's just supposed to be a surface that goes down. Right now it's got a big step on the top, so wouldn't be all that good to walk on  

[ChalklYne]

good call thank u

 

hey! i just went up in there... and scale-wise.. it was like a 3 foot step XD

 

*fixed

[Circa]

*That's no step...that's a wall...*

 

Looks good aside from what Milamber said.

[ChalklYne]

Looks great, but the tri count in some areas could use some work. I usually go by this: Bigger parts = more tris, Smaller parts = less tris.

 

Also, the front of the craft looks a bit mis-shaped. The top of it is thinner than the bottom, it should be more uniform all around.

[ChalklYne]

ill get the rotoscope back up before i uv map this time and make sure im within ranges thx good eye man
