Re: Some more models coming down the line...
Something thats finally got to look right... it's been sitting around for some time now

Unnamed light carrier
*Snip*

I think it looks faintly like a humongous Dragon.

Re: Some more models coming down the line...
Scoob what file type do you save animated glow maps as?
i'm finding that a 2048x2048 glow map doesn't really work that well as .dds (lol @ 20x2.66mb)

My guess is a .eff file with compressed .dds files @ 512x512 or uncompressed 256x256. :nervous:

*cough*
I made a wrong assumption about resizing.
Disregard my question.

That one sir, I REALLY like.
Really menacing and very cool looking.
Just how much time a day do you spend doing 3d modelling?

It varies greatly.. depending on my mood, what it's like outside, how bored I am ....etc

The F-4 Phantom spacerized

I've also got the F-7 in the works and I'm looking for a B-25 mesh.

Download the free trueSpace 7.6, I think that includes a B-25 or similar twin engine WW2 light bomber.

Re: Some more models coming down the line...
Looks good but doesn't much resemble the P-61. The plane was a twin tail design with a quad 50 caliber machine gun turret on top and four belly mounted 20mm cannons. Cockpit seating was in tandem in a stepped cockpit and a third crewman in the rear of the center pod. Pilot, gunner, RADAR/radio/gunner - front to rear.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-61_Black_Widow

That was one weird aircraft, especially with its lack of ailerons. It used a spoiler on each wing, which was raised to reduce lift, making the plane fall sideways into a turn instead of the normal operation of ailerons pushing one wing up and the other down.

Here's loads more inspiration for ships. http://shipschematics.net/yamato/

This one's quite the mashup of details from many WW2 planes. http://shipschematics.net/yamato/images/gamilon/divebomber_striker.jpg

Take the main wing, throw it on the backhalf, take the two engine nacelles and bring them closer to the hull. Get rid of the tail, move the cannons underbelly and to the side. Throw in some extra details  :p

Re: Some more models coming down the line...
Saratoga carrier WIP



Top half & engines is from a battleship that I could never get the right idea for and aborted it.  The bottom half & bridge is from the Concordia class carrier.

Re: Some more models coming down the line...
The bridge looks a bit strange. Else it looks a bit like a mix of one of the old designs I send you and the Black Lance carrier.

I agree, the bridge just looks too tall.  Otherwise, I like the overall design of the carrier.  It looks rugged.
What size is it?

 
Re: Some more models coming down the line...
Not sure about the size, I'm guessing about the same capability as the Concordia class (WC4). Also the hanger will probably be more like that of the Lexington class (split level)

Bigger than my Nimitz carrier (which will eventually get resized) but smaller than Enterprise class (also will get resized)

Re: Some more models coming down the line...
The Rak. is also getting an re-do. I closed up some areas, thickened some areas, deleted a few things, added some more...
