Hey, guys. I have been inspired by the Star Citizen hangar release, and thought I'd give replicating their scene a shot. And since I have high res versions of the Wing Commander Broadsword and Scimitar, I thought I'd let you guys see what they look like. It's pretty crazy how well they hold up. I still need to add some detail around the cockpit area, and around the landing gear... but it's pretty impressive what unity can do when worked on in an couple of evenings. Here's a link!

I added fancy glass shaders, and tweaked the paint on the Broadsword.
It's using the default unity character guy - though I do plan on replacing him at a later point.
I'm also working on a new version of the WC2 Ferret, which should be done tonight.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Pioneer is dead, at least as far as I know. If I can get some of the models in here to walk around and see, then that's good enough for me. I've never really gotten a feel for how big the Broadsword is... and just how cool it feels to stand next to it.

Enjoy!
Not sure why, but the character keeps walking forwards when I'm not hitting any buttons.
Anyway what ships do you have in Star Citizen? I have a Constellation and a 325a myself - But I'm really looking forward to the ability to invite friends on board, since several people in my Star Citizen Guild has Idris corvettes!
I will probably get SC when it comes out, if it has a good storyline, but am not going to pay into it right now. Not going to spend hundreds of dollars just to get the cool craft upfront. I guess I am old school that way and have higher priorities, mortgage, private school, day care, etc...
And I also gave a shot at the Concordia Fleet colors. Very, very open to suggestions on this one. Since the additional art pass will have to happen anyway, this will definitely change.
It's in the build, Both Rough Concordia, Bare metal, and preliminary gear raising animations!!

I also quieted down the music. Sorry about that.
Enjoy!

Both you and Unity never cease to amaze me.
I think I'm done fiddling for the time being - I need to work on the hangar itself.
Enjoy!

I was looking at the latest build, and progess on the CIC. What about redesigning the crossbow turret into an unmanned or remotely controlled turret? That way it would be smaller and still fit in the area.
Wing Commander always had some great and simple designs, despite their "simplicity."
Knight26: Thanks! Well, the hangar is starting to form now, but there's still a long way to go, but luckily I figured out some major optimizations I can to to make it easier to put together! I'm not currently looking at doing the storage and maint decks..it's tempting, but I just don't know what I'd do!
I did manage to make the Crossbow turret a normal man operated turret, it's just 80% the size of the other turrets, which works with the fiction of Hobbes being too big to fit in it!
alonzo11208: Thanks, I really appreciate it! And that's what I've always said - WC was way ahead of its time, and had iconic designs all over the place!
So update! Started putting markings on the hangar floor! I also completed (mostly) the Crossbow, and painted the Sabre in a new paint scheme!
Enjoy!
