2 Space/JetFighers (fictional)

this time i wanted to try to create a complete new unit (means not based on a real model - it only exist in my imagination before i started). But after finishing the second fighter, i had the feeling i had seen them before .

Working names are EF3000 and BAE Blizzard (don´t aks why the files have a "t")

EF3000 (left pic)

the model has 388 vertices, 512 triangels, 256 skin (128 gloss for FX version)
FX and non FX version included
uses changed JetFighter animation (engine effect, weapon effect - included)
scale for picture: 0.48

the model has 382 vertices, 420 triangels, 256 skin (128 gloss for FX version)
FX and non FX version included

because of the polycount i think the model would be also usable as FF fighters, if somebody needs them, please post your request, and perhaps if i have time (and the mood) i will link them to the FF fighter animation.

Edit: For both planes nif linking to the FF Fighter Animation added (included only in Blizzard download)

Looks great! Any plans to make some more?

im using these on in my mod now thanks i needed new spaceship models and these are excellent!

Wow! Great stuff! ..I just said I like what if stuff and now you come up with these...
..and on a sidenote, i was, of course, just thinking about how a follow up to the Eurofighter would look like and if I should make one..

Gorgeous... simply gorgeous.

Cool stuff

Thanks

@GarretSidzaka
glad to see that you have use for them

@Saschkin
i´m sure, there will be cases where you beat me and publish a model i thought about to make

@ Toryn
i already made two other fictional planes, but both are unreleased so far because they are based on a design made by Zerver (and are for his upcoming mod) and therefor i wait until i get the ok to release the models

Wow. The one on the right pic is my clear favourite. I like its flat shape and the guns at the front.

Cool, Coyote!

Would be nice to include in MOO2Civ (which is a FF mod)... would be cooler still if you'd apply your skills to some actual spaceships. (Hint, hint)

Basically, I asked The_Coyote to make these for ZP Next war Update, guys.
Nice work!

We could definitley use your skills on the B5 mod, Saschkin does really good work but he's all on his lonesome, i'm sure he would appreciate the assistance.

Hey, MOO2Civ has NO regular unit makers!

B5 ships are much cooler

These units look really cool. But, I copied it into a mod to try it out, and the ship seems to be underground. I just replaced the gunship artdef with the kfm/nif in your zipfile. Please see attached screenshot. Is there something extra I should do in the xml?



Also, it seems to me that the weapons fire backwards. I wasn't able to capture that in a screenshot, but when I watch the animation, the weapons fire definitely seems to go out the back.

i believe your problem is cause because you used the gunship as base. He is set to "Domin_Ground" in the Civ4UnitInfos.xml and raised through the animation, planes use a the "Domain_Air". Both domains mean different levels where the units are set. [Domain_Ground = z-axis 0 is the ground, Domain_Air = z-axis 0 is the flight level of planes in game].
Try to change the domain, if there is still an issue please post again

Thanks for the correction. Using the fighter unit xml as a base instead of the gunship has cleared the problem.

linked the two fighters to the FF Fighter animation (JEELEN request), only nifs included, so regular download for textures (the three dds files) necessary. And also only fx version. Both (!) nifs included in the BAe Blizzard download (folder starfighter)
