FSB Shipyards - WIP list in first post.

[FarShot]

so while we wait for another update, can i get you guy's honest opinion on my ship design style to pass the time? (not hijacking, just time passing)

Woo hoo, permission to criticize!

In all seriousness though, I was sort of disgusted when I first saw the Inferno.  It wasn't so much the actual design, it was how you drew her.  You may remember me saying you lacked engineering comprehension a while back.  What I meant by that was that you didn't have much of a grasp of orthography and perspective.  Most of this comes through experience, and also Geometry class.  I don't know how old you are, but I remember that when I was younger, I thought my sketches were the best.  Since then I've learned more, and I've taken no art classes either.  If you want, I can attempt to redraw some of your old sketches and demonstrate some of the things I just talked about.

there has been so much talk, discussion, build-up, hype, and plugging about that ship over the last several weeks in various threads that it really does take the enthusiasm and excitement out of the whole project i do have to say...
im not trying to be rude, but there is such a thing of overkill when it comes to any project...
sort of like when youre hanging out with someone, and all they do is talk about themselves and all that comes out of their mouth constantly is "me me me me me" and no matter where the convo goes, they always turn the attention and focus back onto them lol  i know people like that in real life and people like that get boring and even annoying after a while...
less is more...

[FarShot]

Don't blame me, I've just been trying to keep Flarespire appeased with sketches and texture work while I try to find time to model.  He's the one who thinks it's the greatest thing since canned bread.  Must be ADHD.

We could start bugging Bones for more updates on the Citadel, if that'd cheer ya up Jimmy.

[flarespire]

well farshot i do have a combo of aspergers, ADD and ADHD(mild but can be a bad thing)and im only 16 also go right ahead farshot, my school never offered an actual geometry class so im lacking that skill, should learn it in the next 2 years if i get into the games design course at college, also jimmy, soz for all the overdone hype about the inferno, im just so excited that shes FINALLY being done and at such a professional level unlike my kitbash that is the solaris.

hope i didnt cause any upset in ANY way.

[JimmyB76]

if that'd cheer ya up Jimmy.

it's not me, just an observation and what others have mentioned off-forums...

also jimmy, soz for all the overdone hype about the inferno, im just so excited that shes FINALLY being done and at such a professional level unlike my kitbash that is the solaris.

i understand how you feel, you just gotta tone it down a notch or people wont be all that excited or impressed when it is finally done...  to be constantly reminded and reading about anything really can take the wind out of the sails of any topic or thing...

hope i didnt cause any upset in ANY way.

you didnt...  and everyone knows you mean no harm...  but for a bigger impact upon release, i would advise not bringing it up all over the place everywhere you can as much as you can, let the guys do their work, offer some feedback along the way if asked, and leave it at that...
otherwise youll kill the fun for everyone before it is done lol
just an FYI ;)

i have seen it happen many times in ten years where a project didnt get the excitement it should have because it was overkilled beforehand, it is nothing personal... 

[FarShot]

If it makes you feel better, Jimmy, I've got stuff planned that hasn't been talked about...

You are not the only one.

[Bones]

Right, about the Citadel, I think I got it right this time ;)

[Saquist]

Indeed.

[Bones]

It's pretty much done, I just need to get presiduim and tower area textured, add some glows and script it

[FarShot]

[Shadowknight1]

Commander Shepard approves.   Now the Normandy needs some stuff to blow up.

[Killallewoks]

 Awesomefreakingfantasticgreatohgod! 

[Bones]

Commander Shepard approves.   Now the Normandy needs some stuff to blow up.

oh don't ya worry about it ;) she'll get some target practice in the near future

[Aeries]

I'm commander Shepard, and this is my favourite project on the citadel! (see what I did there?)

Cookie for Bonez.

Edit: Although, as a static object, I think it could be said that the station could have much of its' details modelled too rather than just textured on, though that is just my personal opinion.

[FarShot]

[Bones]

Mine too, just need to learn to use extrude / cut tool to make all those panel lines modeled in still haven't figured dout how to do it

[flarespire]

O.O  :drool:

EDIT: just out of curiostity whats the current poly count at? (feels like that questiong should be asked right about now in the project )
 

[flarespire]

you do realise my previous post was the end of that little convo right?

also Farshot wheres that damn polycount i asked for? i wanna know these things for reference
