Cylon Raider from Warrior updated
 

Hi!
I was playing around with the Warrior's cylon Raider model and I made a few changes, basically I was adding plates to the main hull and still needs to have in the wings, I stretched a little the X axis of that main hull to make look a little like in the new series episode. I have in mind fulfill the object with some nurnies in the edge walls between the main hull and the wings. Re textured a Little and set up a space scene ( without stars)
If Warrior agrees, I'd like to share this model to the community. please tell me if you like it this way ;)
Thank you Warrior for your model, is one of my favorite ships since I was a kid.

Hi Earnie, I don't have footage yet of this model. I started yesterday with the hull plating. But thanks for you comment :)

Ooooooooo, now this is wicked. Has a "Heavy Assault" feel to it. :D

She looks mean, wouldn't wanna run into an alley and find one of these hovering there. I have a question, are your new panels modeled in or is it a bump map, I'm still getting used to the virtues of both ways, and like to ask how others do it ;)

Hi!
answering your question, the panels are modeled.
The original mesh was very nice ( for being a low poly) I thought that adding those plates would increase the effect of a much more detailed ship.

if you do plan to give a try modeling plates, I recomend you using booleans over the surface that you are planing to put those panels ;)
hope that helps!

Very nice work. Very awesome.

What program are you using?

Hi Matador,
thank you for your comments!
I'm a Lightwave user.
cheerS!

Nice work ..... but I feel that the additional design feature is very blocky compared to the over all design. If I was doing it I would have given it more of a curve at the rear of your new weapon feature .....

imo :)

nice to see some new ideas for the classic Raider

:)

I also have this Model. The one I have has three Cyclons in the crew cockpit. I have the model in Lightwave. I like the glow effect you have. Would like to see an animation too.
