[Request] FireFly (Serenity) Ships

Post by Bertone »

Hi all, I'm here to ask if someone created a new FireFly model for X3TC.

I know, there is the ship on Cycrow's website created by DeadlyDa, but it is a very old model...
I don't want to be misunderstood: DeadlyDa is a hero, a real pioneer of X3 modding, but his ships were... "Experimental", and probably now he has improved his skills.


In addition some good modder could create another ship from the series, the Alliance Destroyer, IMHO a very good ship to see in game.

I'm a total ZERO in X3 graphics, so I'm asking if someone could create these ships, especially the FireFly Serenity.

I second that.

The destroyer have a really bad attitude look, at least in the scene where Mal and he's gang arrives from the planet Miranda, with the whole reever faction in their ass close to the end :)



The alliance destroyer, would work quite nice as a Paranid M2 ?

@dathion: Glad to read this, I'll wait to see!

@Freeman_79: I was thinking about the TV Series ("Firefly") Alliance destroyer, but the one from the movie is great, too!

The movie is great, the series is uber. Unless you're FOX and air it in a random order. Seriously, look at the back of the box; it lists all the air dates and they're completely random, with the first episode that introduced the characters airing last. And they wondered why it failed.

Anyway, the Alliance Cruisers (One is the IAV Dortmunder, I don't remember the other) look like thin plates with externally docked fighters and a few skyscrapers with green windows welded to the top. I think they're fugly myself.

IIRC, the actual movie-quality FireFly model is available somewhere, but much too high in the poly-count. I wonder if it could be toned down?

I wont be doing it unfortunatly as i am only using the tutorial just to learn the program so its not exactly the same as the orginal.

Anyway as you see on there it has 31 pdfs i am only 1/2 way through the 2nd one. It will take me many months to complete it and im taking a break from the program at the moment.

You might be able to find someone who has already done the mesh. Ofc this will need to be converted to 3dmax i believe ot import into the game. You best bet is to look for a copy.

Maybe this will help in your search....

I dont have 3dmax so cant verify it.

I came across this Firefly mod for Freelancer a long while ago. I don't have any 3D software myself, so I'm not sure if it contains anything useful toward making an X3 Firefly, but figured I might as well post it in case anyone wants it. :)
