« on: July 08, 2013, 10:20:16 PM »Slevered's really been great in helping round out the EotH. The Visvia, Vigilance, Bu'direch and Massias designs were all him and I think the first three have been three of my best skins, personally. He's also got two more EotH designs in the pipeline, the Feltat Transportwhich is done and being skinned by Kalo at the moment since he finished the Massias (I'm rigging it tonight), and the Gilzean Cruiser which is more of an Ascendancy unit.
He's also been going through and optimizing some models and re-uving them while I reskin, which you guys should be seeing more results of as the beta goes on. The Lancer's already in from that, with the Assault Frigate, Bothan Asault Cruiser and Clawcraft on the way. All of these models have had their poly counts dropped to about 1/3rd to 1/4th of their previous poly counts, mostly through cleanup of unnecessary or poorly formed polygons, and at the same time making them look better (hopefully, you guys can judge the outcomes as they happen, starting with the Lancer which you have now).

I know I'm just 1 more compliment to the design, but I also really love the Bu'Direch, Vigilance, and what I have seen of the new Massissas (from Kalo's stream). Out of them all the Bu'Direch is definitely my favorite (the little logo on the side is a wonderful touch). Also, cannot wait for another faction profile, those are awesome.

Once it's in Ascendancy we can finally put out the second faction profile, too.

And I just wanted to say, I LOVE THE BU'DIRECH and how you start with one and two vigilances. The consistency in design elements make the three ship line just look...fantastic. Great job guys, just...beautiful.
