Ok , good luck for texturing, Darth D.U.C.K. and ANDEWEGET are very good in texturing (i thought you were very good in texturing ?).

I dunno, never been too happy with most of my textures and it usually takes me way more time to make that than it does everything else combined in game and all. The sith fighter is the only one that turned out decent but it still isn't that great.

I suggest doing it yourself. It's great practice. Just start with an ambient occlusion bake and go from there!

Yeah, I'm actually working on it now, haven't done the ambocc yet, just basic texture, paneling, some of the red/blue markings and cockpit glass. Will post when I get an ambocc map thrown on there.

EDIT: Figured out animation prob, stupid me and my rusty modding skills.

What about giving this thing a stronger version of the proton torpedo to make it more like the capital ship assault craft it was meant to be? Hate the bombs that fall in space, kinda dumb, thinking about giving the b-wing a torpedo that does the same damage as a bomb but can't lock on.

Ideas?

And I was just making some nice skins for the old B-Wing...

Well, the new version looks very nice.

The old one was leaked, it was never meant to be released but there isn't much I can do about it now except for one up it and make everyone want to rebuild their maps with the new official one.

Well... while I agree it is kinda dumb, I intend to keep falling bombs in my mods, except make them fall straight down(rather than forward, then down). Like the Tie Bombers in Empire Strikes Back.


EDIT: Actually, on second thought, the gravity of the asteroid might be what is bringing them down.

Or they are shot out of the bomb chamber straight down.

On Topic:
Very nice (re)work, I always liked the old model. Did not even know it was actually not intended to be released.

Yeah I guess I'll just keep it as torpedoes even though they are kinda weak in this game. Worked out much better in Rogue Squadron 2, x-wings only had 6 but b-wings held 12.

I'm glad you're making this one.

As for including weapons with it, I'd just include stock weapons. It would fit better into maps that use stock weapons.

I already have the B-Wing weapons in my side mod set up how I like them and I'd really only want to update the model to this one.

Thinking about just creating a new thread for everything I'm working on, I have like a bunch of other models I'm working on. Going back and forth helps me keep interest in modding the game. I just don't wanna post in that huge cluster f%#* model showcase thread.

EDIT: Early texture WIP
Still needs a lot of detail added, engines haven't even been started on.

And yet even now it looks good.

i agree its awesome can't wait until its done

I'm digging the paint job. One slight suggestion, you might want to make a more plain, optional texture. I'm not saying I don't love the current texture, because I do. The only thing is that it stands out, it's too unique. It makes the B-Wing look like it's a special fighter that belongs to a special pilot. That is my only suggestion, and really it's very minor, I'm not unhappy with anything. It's looking really great and I can't wait until it's released!

^Well the blue/red markings were normal for it much like the x-wing had the red stripe down the fuselage and the markings on the wings, same with the a-wing w/brown paint scheme and y-wing being yellow.

I just haven't done anything with the paint other than the red circles making the paint seem to be flaking around the edges. The blue still needs to be more worn and torn, for now just the basic areas are blocked out as a start.

May bump map the paneling then do another ambient occlusion pass, once the paneling is done of course.

Thanks for the replies, gonna work on it some more tonight, reason why I wanted to just let someone else do it cause I could make 3 more models and have the working in game faster than it would take me to make this texture.

It is really nice so far .

With practicing, you'll be faster, i have to progress a lot too, my textures aren't good as yours.

Hey, welcome back mini. Looking good on the B-Wing so far.

Small update since I've been working on final tweaks of other models like shadowvolumes and collisions. This is in game and working btw, just needs texture to be finished then the final things can be added.

EDIT: Looks like it right?
Well it isn't, it's the lowrez I just made, under 1/3 of the polies of the original.

Great .
