Like the subject says... You can never get enough of Yamato style spaceships. :D (http://www.angelfire.com/art/novashipyards/home.html).
-
Heh ... yea i had the New York, John Glen and Yam two for a bit now :) But I can't get a good means of converting Lightwave scenes into max usable ones :|
But from the images i've seen.... those models with the cell shader plugin ... look exactly like the old show :D
-
very nice, but the yamato can't compare to the arcadia :D
( me adds high poly arcadia to the "to do" list )
-
I found this site like 3 months ago and the last update was, well earlier.. Glad to see he got the New York done. I'm gonna ask him if he can make some models for a SBmod :devil:
[Edit] I got all the first season so I can do voice captures... Now to find the Comet Empire and Bolar Wars!

I tried that years ago ,... never got anywhere....each modeler I'd contacted that did any SB ships was just like "it's impossible to make them that low poly"
:|
-
He can't use that excuse, I just sent him a in game screenshot of The Yamato! coolness..
-
More power to you buddy!
I know I'd kill for a SBmod,....heh ... Hell my wing when I ran DeathAngel Squad in SW was blacktigers :D

that's BS, what about my arcadia? :p
-
lol I know i know ;)
-
well, with the fs source out and all, i'm sure the engine could be tweaked to support enough polys to do the models justice.. although the current engine can do it just as well. we all would wan it to look as good as possible.
it's a real shame that i never really got to see SB that much as my american counterparts (see "location" under my nick) what i did see i liked..
i would be nice to see an "uncut" version too as US censors were rather twitchy at that time..
-
You're closer to Japan and china.. Couldn't you get it off of Ebay or other auction sites? Or direct from their marketers (or do they consider you as bad as the "westerners" and don't wanna give up the good stuff!

Yamato pic for those who haven't seen it yet.
-
dude, check your atlas.. i'm closer to antartica than japan
-
well, you sure are closer to japan than I am ( since you can't be farther to Japan than I am :( ). search for battle ship Yamato, not starblazer, if you want to see the full, uncut version ( pb is japanese Z2 DVD don't always have subs).
Anyway, I recomand Harlock, it's best :P
Btw, for those who know/like Harlock, there's a new series planed ( not cosmowarrior zero, a newer one ). There also will be a live movie ( hargh!!!! ) made by a french ( haaaaaaaaargh! french are just no good for sci-fi - see 5th element- ), the one that made a movie called "le petit poucet" (and that one's the worst... ). Matsumoto will supervise it ( so there's still hope tho ).
oh, while I'm talking about live movies, there's rumours of an US akira movie ( great, wanna see Tetsuo called John :rolleyes: ) and evangelion, by James Cameron ( great, gonna see an eva handled by Di Caprio :rolleyes: )
What a wonderful world.
-
now that's just creepy.. :lol:
-
DiCapprio and Cameron can't make Evangelion any worse, nor can a live action Akira be any worse than the animated version. ;)
On the other hand, The Fifth Element rocked, so Venom, I declare you to be smoking the crack.

Any proof that they're going to be renaming characters or are you just blowing smoke out your ass? :p
And Fifth Element was a riot, thankyouverymuch.

lots of smoke ;7
but I bet they will. who wants to bet agaisnt me?
Oh, Mikhael, you're not a reference to me when it comes to animes, so I'll just ignore you and go back and watch Noir :p
and the 5th element was dull, with the crappiest ending ever. hmm, tho there were no ewoks at the end.
Venom: making friends is eaaaaaaaaaaasy!

wel on the subject of "live action" anime, have a hunt around for a couple of movies both titled "fist of the north star" (you may have heard of it) one was anime, the other live action, both are crap, but you pick out which is worse...
oh, and vemom, saw the pic.. where's the wave motion?
the local distributors for anime are Madman entertainment (http://www.madman.com.au)
they're actually quite good..
where my liking of anime came from where most peoples came i think..

Hokuto no ken. themovies isn'tgreat, but the series is quite good ( but very violent ). Didn't know there was a live movie from it
oh, and vemom, saw the pic.. where's the wave motion?[/B]
what?

nope, my liking of animes comes from a series called Saint Seiya :p
-
if you'd made that model.. it's missing a particularly large indentation in the bow of the ship.

See?
here's an image of the original "yamato"
(http://64.124.221.191/yamato01.jpg)
note: in WW2 she wasn't as effective as the iowa class although she was bigger
-
nope, I believe warlock did it.
and there's no way you could tell if the iowa was better since the yamato was sunk by planes :p

what country does the richelieu belonged to?by the name I'd say france, but I doubt we had such a good ship :-/
-
Yes, it's french.
-
well the yamato couldn't keep up with the carrier fleets the iowa could..
Mind you if they were to go toe to toe, the yamato would win with nine 18 inch guns wereas the iowa had 16 inch guns (check your rulers folks, that's the diameter of the barrel)
also with the amount of modellers of repute around here i reckon that a sb mod wouldn't be far off..

So? The Iowa had excellent 16" guns, the Yamato had mediocre 18s. Plus, the Iowa had far superior fire control.
-
that's true, plus the iowa class is still afloat..
those 16 inchers were put to great use during the gulf war..
-
I remember reading a short story in Foreign Legions, where they upgraded a lot of naval ships to make them space-worthy, similar to what must have been the story of the Yamato.
But they had some nice weaponry mounted on the Missouris, essentially channelled nuclear detonations :)
-
If someone put that kind of research into FS2 ships (seperate categories for fighters/bombers/ect...) I'd be REALLY scared! :nervous:
Any chance of scoring the Arcadia or Yamato off you guys? I'm just dying to have the Arcadia jump in and have Harlock rant and do macho pirate dialogue... Plus I could substitute the Reflex Cannon as the Wave motion gun... Easy fix for now. :cool:
"Our home will be the Sea of Stars..."
-
well, what would be even worse if someone actually built them.

that ship makes no sense.

Its okay Carl. Just breath deeply, close your eyes and imagine a world without anime, because ANIME DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE.
Now be calm, just go back to ravaging worlds and collapsing stars. It'll all be okay in the morning.

hop, i post pics of the arcadia, coz she remains for me the most beautiful ship ever designed.
-
Yep, Arcadia sure is good looking
Not to mention Yamato
but I still think that Macross is Tha Ship :p
But that's just a matter of taste... that's all... :)

Harlock's first ship in "Vengence of The Space Pirate" BEFORE he gets th new Arcadia? The Death Shadow... I can never get a decent picture off the VCR and it's too dark:( Very Yamato-ish. Do you think it's be cool to model?

herm.... US peoples with their weird habit of changing names ( vengeance of the space pirate :wtf: ). the death shadow, yeah, it looks cool ( the one with two horns right? ). In cosmowarrior zero they've given that name to another ship, tho. I'll try to find some pics if you want.
edit: can't find any good pic, sorry :-/

More like the basic inspiration for the Orion. Of course they screwed up and took the SDF-Macross and made it look ugly as hell.
-
That was too harsh!(and an insult to inbred cousins everywhere)... :nervous: Anyway....
Inbre..I mean SDF-1 Destroy the shivan!

Ok I JUST got back in from my GF's family in Ohio...........now WHAT did I do ?
If it's that 'close but not close enough' Yamato MOD then nope :) I had some fighters from the series but never the caps.
