Hey all,

I'm starting a new web comic called The Great Space Race. I'm the writer and I'm working with an artist, Dave. Anyway, he mentioned he would like to use some 3D ship models for the other ships that are in the race, and he'd love to have a model of his own. So... got any cool Freespace ships you'd like to share? You'd get credit for your work on the links page or in the blog, however you wanted it. Here is the site, we don't have any comics up yet but you can see the Character breakdown:

http://thegreatspacerace.com/

It's basically about a big rally race in space. Scale doesn't matter, we can scale them. What is the prevalent file format for 3d models now? Still 3ds? Anyway, here is the main crew's ship, the Amanda Noire:





If anyone would like to take on the Amanda, that would be awesome and we'd really owe you. You can email me at the address in my profile if you want to direct send some files. Thanks all, for your help!

I'll make a deal with you.

I'll provide you a model I love and cherish, but you have to texture the freaking thing.

Give me credit for the model, give the texturer credit for the texture and if I like it, could you please send me a copy? I'm having great difficulty.

[peterv]

I'm in for the Amanda. Any drafts for the underneath?

[Retsof]

You shuld stick the Perseus and Myrm in there.  (I know the Myrm isn't that fast, but it has enough engines to look fast)

[TrashMan]

Well, you're free to use any FS2 ships of mine.

Hm...I have also this, but am not sure about giving it away yet.

I moved the thread to Fan Fiction and Art forum, because, you know, it doesn't seem to have much to do with modding FreeSpace itself.

[Max Sterling]

Warp Shadow - texture it? Gosh it will be like the old days when I was doing the MOD and I had to  do all the textures. I don't have the tools anymore to do it! But I'll take a look at it anyway.

peterv - That is great news! No, we didn't draw a bottom of the ship! Either make up whatever you like, or we can do one for you, let me know!

TrashMan - That is a nice looking ship. If you let us use it it doesn't mean you can't use it in FS2 or whatever else you planned for it. As for your other ships, where do I find them?

Retsof - I need original ships, not something Volition owns, want to avoid any infringement. They don't have to "look" like racing ships because in space there's no air and all that plus a lot of the race is FTL so they just warp or whatever. So we can use lots of different looking ships, that's what we are going for.

Herra Tohtori - Yes, I know, but I saw a similar thread (Want to get your Models in a full game?) in that forum and the people I really want to see this are people who have made FS2 spaceships, so I thought it was the best forum to find them in it. I hope they can find me here! Fortunately I've already got some responses.

Hmm, indeed. Maybe I should move that thread to Gaming forum now that you mentioned it.

Anyways, the modding forum visitors will still see a link to this thread on where it used to be, so I think they'll find you here.

Does Amanda Noire intentionally look like a land-based sports car?

And given that drawing and a whole crew for a ship, I take it they are a bit bigger and not fighter-sized. Hmmm....

Yes! It is supposed to vaguely look like a car, as will SOME of the other ships, but not all. For instance, I'm liking two of your ships: GTTB Armageddon and GVF Reshef

I'd love to download models for them. And the scale is okay because I can just size it for the artist in the panels, there's no set scale it has to go to. I'd say the ships are probably about as big as 4 bombers put together, up to twice that size.

I wonder if I could use the POF viewer for renders for my artist, or is there a good model viewer out there?

Is this gonna be a wacky races / gumball in space?

Well duh the GTTB Armageddon would be more like a sixteen-wheeled truck

Not exactly... it will be a comedy though, sort of in the way Firefly is a comedy but also a drama.

[Gortef]

Hmm I have one ship model... WIP though, that looks more like a fast carrot in space, sort of.
It was supposed to be in a short film my friend was planning to make but I think it's still in a planning state. Lemme ask if he still plans to make it or not.

It's a bit simple model I suppose, but it was supposed to be a fast ship.

[TrashMan]

Here you go. I tweaked it a little big so now it look like a bigger ship.

[Max Sterling]

Gortef -- Sure, I'll take a look at it! Long time no see bro! I have a fan film I just made from Robotech, I'll try to find the forum to post it in for you

Trashman, thanks! I kind of need a 3ds and a POF viewer now, could someone link me up please?

[Gortef]

Rgr that, I'll ask my friend if he still needs it or not. If not I'll clean it up a bit and post a pic.

Long time no see indeed, according to the topics you have made here things are going well on your end ^^

[Max Sterling]

OH NO!

DID I MISS INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!?!

[Mongoose]

Nay, ye be just in time.

[Max Sterling]

ooooh. Here in Cali, I still have 20 minutes till it starts. Arr.
