my first non combat unit, perhaps even better usable as "wonder", the ISS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station

model is a small poly monster, but luckily there is only one ISS out so far ;)

the model has 3874 vertices and 3402 triangles, and a 512 skin

scale for picture was 0.5

the model is not linked to an animation, but flies relativ high in the nif

and as i made the texture i didn´t know how to get an alpha channel to work [and i don´t know if i want come back to the model and clean the skin in the near future]

You left out the download link :mischief:

and you are too fast for me ;)

Georges baby in the space, isn't she? :)

AWESOME AWESOME gonna try to add it to modcast

Awsome work :)
The poly count could be lower - but it could work as unique unit or flying high above wonder :) It's going to my personal mod :)

very cool model, sattalite array, gonna use it :)))

great job for a first unit.

thanks :)

great job for a first unit.

my first non combat unit, not my first unit ;)

and i thought it was your baby ;)

The poly count could be lower
yes, but i made the mistake right at the start and also realized it too late :(. So i had only the decision to finish the model or to start again. (and that after 10 to 15 hours invested in the model) Knowing it would fit perfect as unit like you described (and MaxRiga planed to use this way) i took the second option.

gonna try to add it to modcast

:) would be great, last time you presented a unit i almost decided to start making a "fairy"like swordfish

Awesome!, I believe we can use this! :D

NICE :lol:

Reminds me of that cool SDI building in Civ III. The city view always looked cool with that thing! :goodjob: Although this one might not stop nukes. :mischief:

This is great :D ..now how to use it... hm.. ..i might want to wait for a modcomp someone is surely gonna make of it...

How well does it work, in game, i mean i dont want it able to block enemy units, nor should it get into combat?

It's just a model... you do what you want with it in-game via XML... or choose not to use it... it's all up to the user... this is just a model, not a mod.
