HQ Smooth Freelancer Ship Renders 4.84 + 4.85

[LA-384]

I have not see the render for the KingFisher Heavy Fighter. Think it was a new addition in the final 4.85

hm. just loaded flstat, and i see there are a lot of new ship names. i guess i'll go through them again and see if there are new ships added. But first i need to fix this error in milkshape.

I checked. The Kusari Transport, Odin, Thor, and Loki didn't change, so i think you are still looking at the 4.84 models instead of the 4.85 ones which are on page 2.

The insurgent did indeed change, the revolution might have changed too (somewhat similar ship). I tried to render it all, but there seems to be some error. I might be using the wrong milkshape version since that's where it goes wrong.

Oh, I somehow managed to miss those. I feel silly now. :crazy:

On that note, pretty sure the GC Bomber got an updated texture in one of the last betas, but I think the one I see isn't that one.

One other thing I just noticed. The Taiidan Bomber, or Kaichou now has a new skin.

I think the Corsair Cruiser has a new texture. . .
EDIT: My bad, it's fine.

Check the Insurgent again, the one on the Wiki and you render are both of the Revolution.

So, in between writing scripts to update the wiki, I couldn't help but notice that none of the ships with transparency were done yet. Having screwed around in POV-Ray quite a bit in the past, I decided to try my hand at them. These are done using the same basic method as the tutorial from LA-384, but exporting to POV-Ray instead of 3dsMax (it's also free).

Comments welcome. I couldn't get the 'glow' right, but the transparency is all here. They look a little more purple ingame, but I'm trying to use only the textures in the actual models.
Each render took between 30 seconds and 2 minutes to run on my current computer, so I can change stuff pretty easily if someone has suggestions.

Feel free to use them, I'll do others too if people want.

Nice job! I was wondering if I would have to cut them out manually to get the transparency:)

The Aquilon has changed models, so here's the new one:


The bright red/pink cockpit glass on the Agama in your renders was bothering me, so I decided to redo it:


Colors were wrong on the Arbeiter, update:


I saw you couldn't get the textures to work on the Battlestar II, so here it is:

Funny note on that one, dunno if it's the milkshape pov exporter or the model itself, but I had to mirror most of the textures in x or y (randomly) to get it to map correctly.

'n stuff like that.
