Archangel35757 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Lenght (20 meters) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Raven's_Claw I already cited that above... it's one of three sources I found. The other two state 26m. Link to comment
AshuraDX Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 keep in mind that the ravensclaw md3 has to be scaled to fit kyles ingame size, which would be 0.64 x 950= 608 (Max Units) Link to comment
Langerd Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Ravens in star wars? Lol .. i thought there is non ravens in this universe.. that is why the name of this ship always confused me Jeff likes this Link to comment

And... (1,484.375÷101)*1.8 = 26.45m So the in-game scale should have been correct (if they scaled at 64%). So it needs scaling up to fit Kyle in 3dsMax. Of course on export then it will be reduced to 64% ( just like the player model is). Link to comment
eezstreet Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 16m/20m is grossly undersized and 26m seems more accurate. Do another comparison with the ship scaled up to 26m and see how it compares.Also keep in mind that the ship model is only seen in a few specific cutscenes (it's only shown in one ingame cutscene in JK2).

z3filus Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 but.... why does the correct size of the ship matter, if this thread is about first person viewed Ravenclaw ?? Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 but.... why does the correct size of the ship matter, if this thread is about first person viewed Ravenclaw ??Because you can look back over your shoulder out the cockpit side windows and see the engine nacelles-- so it has to be the correct scale. Plus I will also release a correctly scaled exterior 3D model... perhaps interactable with some parts: ladders, doors, cargo area, etc. Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Ok... so here are the side and front images of the Raven's Claw scaled to exactly 26m (relative to the size of Kyle Katarn in 3ds Max): Sorry the front and side images are not zoomed at the same level... just compare them relative to the Kyle reference model.

eezstreet Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Could you do a side profile where Kyle is facing forward? The cockpit doesn't look like it can fit two people in the pilot position, which seems incorrect. Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Kyle and Jan could almost sit side by side at that scale like the cinematics suggest, as well as having enough room behind them for passengers (think the YT-1300 cockpit). Link to comment
eezstreet Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Maybe, but I just want to be sure. Link to comment

The cockpit doesn't look like it can fit two people in the pilot position, which seems incorrect. Yeah, I'm thinking it may need a little widening... we'll see. I'll put him in the BOTH_GUN_SIT and duplicate him. Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 @@eezstreet... yep it's too narrow-- so I will need to widen the fuselage a minor amount. ...and that is scrunching them close together than I would like... I would prefer they not be sitting that close-- as it leaves to narrow a space for a center console to run between them. Although I could alleviate the man-spreading a bit and bring the knees in a bit closer... for a new cockpit sitting position. Link to comment

Archangel35757 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Ok... so the flight-crew seat model (818 polygons total) is basically finished (just needs UV mapping and texturing): I need to further refine the cockpit seat pose but here's what Kyle looks like for now (...a bit too slouchy): I'll model a seat harness after I finish the pose...

Archangel35757 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 The original cockpit is all kinds of hokey... can't believe they didn't take time to make a more respectable, believable cockpit... The holo-projector (blue circle) is pointing back at the door behind them... (at the 2min mark) yet Mon Mothma is project straight upwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3PYSLKBuQg Link to comment

Archangel35757 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 I have the control grip modeled and tentatively placed... Just need to model the thrust control grip for the left side of seats... still much to do. KDR_3XILE likes this Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Ok... so the thrust grip and control grip models are finished (...though they still need UV mapping and texturing): I think the seats and co-pilot/pilot controls are too close together... I plan to spread them out just a little bit more. Noodle and KDR_3XILE like this Link to comment
