Title: GTD Deus DDI Concept work
Post by: Zeronet on December 23, 2001, 05:05:00 pm: Feedback, suggestions etc welcome!
Here's the concept work, on the Carrier im building, expect a EDIT later with some fluff.

EDIT:The GTD Deus DDI was designed at constructed during the brief ressiance 14 years after Capella. Over 3 kilometers long it boasts huge Hangers, capable of holding and servicing a full 250 Fighter wings. It has specialised systems for servicing the GTF Predatorz, an advanced AIFU(Artifical Intelligence fighting unit) Fighter. Furthermore its Vasudan designed reactor exceeds that produced by the Colossus by a large factor. This ship can turn a Sathanas into debris quicker than a Colossus, due to its 90 Bomber Wings and 30 Heavy Bomber Wings.

Post by: Zeronet on December 23, 2001, 05:36:00 pm: Well, with a large amount of Hangers im not knocking the poly count through the roof and its my first Capital ship, so keeping it somewhat simple. Although if i can, i may try to make it more rounded but currently the design ethos is square and angular. Also Boxy ships tend to be more armoured and more effective than fancy curved edges etc etc.

Post by: Warlock on December 23, 2001, 05:40:00 pm: Wasn't knocking the squared egdes concept. Just saying right now you've basically got ....well...a box.

Sides,..ok you want alot of hangers,..hangers don't exactly add hundreds of polys.

But hey a 25 poly cap ship could be cool (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Post by: Zeronet on December 23, 2001, 05:47:00 pm: Suggestions would be welcome, metioning the "sides" did get me thinking though (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif). I could make the front rounded and add a Hanger to it. I might add some Runways to the sides of the ship, sort of at a angle, flat triangles. Would it really be under 200 polys in its current state if made into a model?

Post by: LAW ENFORCER on December 23, 2001, 05:55:00 pm: I made a carrier like that when I was starting to MOD, it was more deatiled that that... (it even had square turrets and a spoiler (I still have the ship but its a LOT better now!)

What you need is a few inscaled parts on the top and bottom, some nice turrets and bobs proably not your uncle! A carrier...

Post by: Zeronet on December 23, 2001, 06:00:00 pm: Im probably going to add turrets once i actually start to model the ship. Im thinking of adding armour plating sections to the ship.

Post by: Nico on December 23, 2001, 06:03:00 pm: as the pic is, if well done, it's about 90 triangles (well, I just counted lol).

Post by: Zeronet on December 23, 2001, 06:15:00 pm: Did you include the 1km long Hanger? It'll be pretty easy to make if TS 1.0 had a inbuilt side,fron,top view but no, they had to be fancy and GMAX is a 20meg download.

Post by: Warlock on December 23, 2001, 06:21:00 pm: You can change the view point in ts from top/side/front/perspective.
