Imagine a new WipEout team....

Andy, the GEIST is like - i'm lost for words mate :) truly this thread is starting to see some real amazing stuf starting to happen once again.

I'm very pleased, very ;)

I've got to check the prices for cinema 4D... I know 3DS max 10 is ridiculously expensive...

team stats

Speed 8
Handling 10
Shield 7
Thrust 10

Our ship performs mediocre in the lower speed classes, but it outruns the comptitions on the Phantom speed class.

Our technologies are a secret. We have not officially been accepted into the FX500. We are underground. We are the team you are all speculating about.

We are the team, you don't want to meet. We are Cold-Fury.

@pigeon:
That's a bit overpowered.The ship has a total stat of 35 out of 40.
The other ships seem quite interesting.They may fill the grid for the FX-500...

Cold-Fury eh? ;)
I would love to work on a background story with you that involves my team: NightFury :D. Could be interesting, PM me if interested bro!

I'm gonna agree with feisar, that's pretty OP lol.

Well I'm gonna start UV mapping this in a second. I've added a seat, put down some colour, which will probably change, and I've got a logo which I'll slap on a few times toooo. I'm gonna do some sponsers logos and whatnot, and then I'll be ready to throw them all together onto the UV map.

Andy :+ man the red cockpit is so fusion eg-x that i'm getting nostalgic. Loving that man! Awesome work, ... damn! How does it fly?

@ Super Rocket Pigeon = the ship is a bit over powered mate. Not all is lost though, Your team has not been accepted by the commision at this time due to the ship stats being over powered.

There are ways to remedy this, I'll explain in the A.L.T.E.R.N social group in a thread there, tongiht.

Pending the revisal of your team stats, I see no reason for team Cold-Fury not to be in the knock out phase of the FX500, ... :)

@JKP & SRP, a nice idea to have Night-Fury and Cold Fury join up together. There's something quite balanced about this, probably the fact that your names abbreviate to 3 letters all ending with P - and your team names ending with FURY, awesome :D Tag team racing anyone? :rock

NightFury dev blog log 23/06/2103:
"Feisar have confirmed that they are not interested in the split nose design and with that I am proud to welcome that for the 1st time ever we will be a complete Unit and not a "branch" or "division", Supported By the Airlicker Industries we shall rise and let the world know our dream to be the ship with the worlds leading airbrake system! This log also confirms our ship stats for the 1st time to you, the public:
-Thrust:4
-Speed:8
-Handling:10
-Shield:4
NightFury Out!
The splitnose design will still go ahead as per!

@Andy : Great work matey :D :+ Looks awesome!

Awesome, andy, I especially like the exhaust nozzle! :+

Thanks guys :D

I've started texture mapping so I'm just playing with some ideas. Not happy with it yet, but this is how it is at the moment. Still need to make up some sponsers and something bump-map it with. That grey thing in the middle is making it a little unbalanced too I reckon so I'll change that soon too.

WOW, please slap these into A.L.T.E.R.N. TThe GEIST ... man this ship is the next generation, the FX500 is its home :rock

will do ace, thanks :)

I've added some sponsor logos, changed some material colours and I've modified the middle bit as well. Still going to UV map the back wings and then I'll bump map everything.

andy, how come it looks so different proportionately from different angles? Something to do with perspective settings? Is it possible to get a front an image with perspective turned off so that I can judge the true proportions better? Looks awesome anyhow though.

I must've been holding shift as I zoomed in, it seems to change the depth, but yeah, no problem, I've just taken shots from the view ports so the perspectives should all be the same.

Dude! That's so cool!
On that front view for a minute I thought I was looking at a Feisar!

@ andy: impressive design, perfect colours, the white is absolutely nice :+8).
Honestly, am seriously amazed for your 3-D work :blarg:D.


A.L.T.E.R.N. - Novatech Engines: the first details of the ship are finally revealed!

"Hello for everyone at A.L.T.E.R.N. and a special greet for every AG-racing fan, your passion is the real fuel for our competitions and our progress.
With our advanced studies and technologies we have realized an outstanding ship model: our surface is made of compressed titanium, that can give a lot of resistance without an excessive weight.
Other details can be revealed in a very near future.

Novatech Engines"

Thanks for the extra shots andy. Lookin' good.

No problem Saturn, and thanks guys :).

I'm quite happy to say this is finished now.

Added AG units underneath and I've UV mapped the wings.

I'll give you the links to big images which should be in the same order as the attachments. They're pretty big so you can zoom right in, but watch out if your internet is on the slow side. :P
