CRUSADE Shadow Hybrid Attack Ship Verion 1.0 LightWave
5.x and [6] Format |

The CRUSADE episode "The Path Of Sorrows" showed a large, Shadow- like ship blowing the living hell out of an Omega-class destroyer. The ship appeared to have Shadow-based technology and weapons, but until JMS released the lost episodes of Crusade at http://www.bookface.com/ we really couldn't be sure what it really was. Then we learned the truth about this mysterious ship. (No, I'm not going to tell you - read the scripts to To The Ends Of The Earth and The End Of The Line.) Using a few stills from the show I've tried to recreate this weird little buttkicker using MetaNURBS. I started in LightWave 5.6, but it would have been far easier to do using the powerful vertex weighting tools of L[6]. (Of course that would mean that all you 5.x people couldn't use it...) After a long while of inactivity, I made some tweaks to the object and freezed it for release. Then I made a few image of it, decided that there were some major inaccuracies, and tweaked and froze it again. :) Finally, I've got a fairly accurate reproduction of this strange little sucker. Scaling may be iffy, as I really don't have much of an idea how big the ship really is. You can always scale to taste. As always, comments and feedback can be sent to wombat@flarn.com where it will be promptly lost in the usual avalanche of spam. James "WombatControl"

Installation Instructions Unzip the contents of this archive using the following password - "cerberus". Unzip the files to your content directory (usually C:\NewTek\ for 5.x or C:\LightWave for [6].) Make sure that your unzipping utility preserves the directory structure. Open up LightWave and use Load From Scene and open up the 'shadow-hybrid-setup.lws' scene. (It should be in the Scene\Crusade folder of your content directory.) The ship should load up with its weapons object and lighting. You can remove the beam and the extra lights by removing the beam object. |
