As far as the animation goes, I have seen it, and yes it does use the gyroscopic cockpit.

grievous if you look back a couple of pages theres a posy by jabbaloveslava and you can download a .mov of the animations that i rendered in XSI, its the older model though and not the one you see in these last pages.

hi all, i am not intended to "bump" old threads~ I just want to know more about the B-wing XSI, whether it has been done or not. Pls dun treat this post as those "hey, when will it be out?" or such silly message :-)

I love the B-wing sooo much which is the main reason I join this forum!
BTW, minilogoguy18, u are amazing!

ive been working on the virago a lil more and also the z-95 and v-19 doing all the finishing touches that i shoulda done a long tima ago and all 3 are about to be released then ill come back to this and the lambda shuttle. i was just too lazy to UV map this model cause of its shape since i completely remodeled it cause the original model that youll see on the first couple of pages sucked and ive made a far better one.

watch the polycount... :P

So what is the point exactly? it just seems to me like you've added many polygons, but the shape is still the same :o

well then thats a sign that youve been doing more editing/porting than actual modeling if you cant see the difference between the 2 models, because theyre VERY different, i even have them saved as different files cause they are that much different, i didnt add anything, i completely remade it.

It definatly looks much better. Now it's detailed and looks a lot nicer. Plus the takeoff animation is sweet.

well i gotta redo the animation cause this is a seperate model, the old rig wouldnt match to this ones shape, well the landing gear on the dorsal wing wouldnt. jabba, you said you wanted to texture some of my models, ill UV map this one and you can texture it if you want.

Ok. And yes, i tought you would have to re-do the animation, but it'll probably look almost the same, right?

Off Topic- minilogoguy18, just wonder if u would make ur B-wing the most powerful attack craft in ur mod/ certain mod, or it will be very slow, etc.

i thought id post an update on this model since i finished the UV mapping last night and im starting on the texture. the thing is that i cant seem to find any decent pictures of the craft on google. so if anyone has a visual dictionary or even like one of those old scaled down action fleet toys (i remember when i was a kid those had alot of detail) post some pics of it so i can start making a texture, thanks for all who post.

i already have base textures made i just need to see the ship, good high quality pictures of the b-wing itself, not prefab textures, i didnt say anything about needing textures at all, i can make those myself.

my brother has a lego b-wing, but i don't think it'll help you much. And since I cannot make screenshots from the RebelStrike on Gamecube, i suppose you'll have to use Rogue Squadron 3D for PC, but i seem to remember it was not very detailled ;). You might want to try SW:Starfighter, dunno whether there are B-Wings in it though. Rather not, since its PT.. :/
