New Unit: Ragnarok (finally)

[Orthanc]

Oh my freakin goodness, I'll never do a unit that takes that long ever again...

But IT'S DONE! The Ragnarok airship from Final Fanatsy 8 is finally ready to fly. Its about the same size as my Highwind ingame (I think) and should probably be used in a similar manner. Civilopedia text is largely based on information found at wikipedia, man that website is handy.

Unfortunately, my animated preview making thingies trial date has expired, so I'll have to buy the thing before I can make decent flic previews again.

But you can still enjoy the civilopedia! Here's the file:

Ragnarok

Preview below, enjoy!

Holy moly. Looks excellent, but what a long wait!

Orthanc, thankyou so much for your hard work and dedication. Now for the sake of your sanity, the sea is calling you....

 

[LMR]

Looks good.

Try using OpenFX's flic-to-gif converter to make previews. this makes each frame a gif file. then use Unfreez to make the actual gif, ie. stick all the one-frame gifs together. that's how i do mine

 

[muffins]

Oh wow! That's a seriously sweet airship. Was that rendered in poser?

 

[aaglo]

No. it was modelled and animated in pov-ray

It looks great - any chance of posting some pov-files from that... thing

 

[Hunter Noventa]

Freaking kick ass. Well done, well done.

 

[Sildo]

Detail, detail, and more detail is all I can see, Incredible.

 

[Iron Beagle]

Nice... it looks almost like some kind of insect.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Helluva work. What a mean machine...

 

[Quinzy]

wow! kick @$$ unit! absolutely love it! cant get enuff FF units.

 

[Orthanc]

Wow, thanks every one.

Yeah, before that other program I got (that's expired now) I was using the Flic2gif that's on these forums somewhere, which doesn't have the greatest quality, hence the switch. I'll try that OpenFX thingy.

Alright aaglo, I'll attach the main file.

 

[Vuldacon]

Good Looking conversion from Final Fantasy 8...The green/blue Thruster Flames look cool during the Run.

 

[aaglo]

LOL - +60 kb unit file.... - damn, no wonder it took long to render. Heck - no wonder it took long to model

good job, orthanc

 

[Orthanc]

Yeah, no doubt the size is due to the city of blobs I put in this thing. There isn't a shape I feel I can't do now.

Thanks again everyone.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I wonder if I could fit this unit in my own mod? Does anyone think it could upgrade from helicopters?

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Thank you thank you thank you, Orthanc!!!!!! This is one of the best units I've seen, and I've already added it to the FF mod. Now all I need is the Estar soldier and Estar will be complete. This unit is just freakin' awesome!!!!

 

[la_dav]

Very nice!! Very lucky, can get this unit!! It should be the unit in what game that I remember have been unable to call to mind...

 

[doncarlos]

I like it. My favorite Age is the middle age

Try to avoid bringing back threads this old, this one's over 6 months old now, the borderline for bringing back threads just to comment like that is about under a month. Just try and check the date before you post, unless you have an issue with getting the unit to work or something, or have some sort of addition you made yourself.
