Would you want a 6-8\" pyro on your desk
Moderators: MetalBeast, Capm
Will that model be released publicly? I'd love to put it into Freespace 2. A cockpitted pyro would be loads of fun to fly around. If it's not more difficult, it'd be nice if the map was all in one texture, too.
It'd be a shame for that beauty to not to be flown around! Keep it up!
I'm probably going to end up buying one of these...

Well I am back.. had to replace a power supply after some troubleshooting on my main rigg
sorry for lack of updates
in chat someone who shall remain the Nameless Zoob! that he is, commented that other pyro's looked more realistic than the DBB Untextured Desk Model.
I replied... this is going to be cast into plastic, so it does not require textures.
So with that in mind, let's put that statement to the test!!!!!@@@ Shall We!! I Dug through an Online Archive and rendered some untextured models that I found. Some of which are not available to the Public!
The Pyro's shall remain Nameless... the rest is history
\"Smoke a Zoob\" go's out to the Idea behind this post!
{ninja edit] it will be updated with 5 versions in a day

you're back, ready willing and able I hope?
Good, I'm almost done reinstalling everything on my PC - which was corrupted by a embedded DRM file hidden in an driver update from Microsoft Windows update site claiming to be one from Creative.
Been 1 1/2 weeks so far...
Koolbear - 3proVerts units/boards then This -- status?

pyro model is 2nd to the 3dpro adapter run
models have been ready since July of last year (2007) then i put next stage in motion when i began work on the pilot - but had to stop, and began waiting for a response from KB. I have since given up on that, and continued on my sideline project of an extremely detailed and ready for film gx model.
yes the lowpoly cad model for the desktop model has been ready since last year

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

I'd very much like a 12\" Pyro-GX (Eagle's). Did this project just evaporate?
At least I still have all the original max and 3ds files for Eagle's GX. The reason ours came out so well was because, well, I was rather anal about the detail and so was Eagle. We used an enoumous number of screenshots from D2's intro/outro and escape/arrival videos to get all the elements together. We added the concussion missiles because, quite honestly, the GX looks weird without them. I don't know how we missed the missile mounts...they were there in the intro movie, clearly visible.
When we had finished the ship, we took some renders and sent them to the fellow over at Volition who had been the guy that was going to do the original D4 Pyro-GX. His response was golden... \"Better than the original...\". Eagle was, how should we say, in a state of euphoria for some weeks after that.

Re: Would you want a 6-8\" pyro on your desk
WOW something finally happened here.
They look awesome, and I would love to help, but I have no idea how to make molds...
Did you do those by 3D printing? Well, I suppose it was, there is no other way.
I actually thing that that shape is a bit complex for one mold. I think you would need a few:
1) Main fuselage, cockpit, engines and lower wings (you may actually have to do the lower wings separately too, but I'm not sure)
2) 2 left hand lasers
3) 2 right hand lasers
4) Upper wing
5) Other upper wing
When It's done I'll probably buy one.

I eat pyros for breakfast.
I'd still love to have one of these on my desk. Let us know how we can help.

Help me find someone that can cast it.
Re: Would you want a 6-8\" pyro on your desk
I asked the guys over @ polycount. I've seen some impressive stuff come from those guys.

Those are the people they recommended.

Re: Would you want a 6-8\" pyro on your desk
I've kind of hoped for a number of years that this would eventually work out... any word on progress?
