Title: mmm... Radiosity...
Post by: Thorn on July 14, 2003, 11:27:46 am: Well, this serves a dual purpose. Showing off what (little) work I've done to this damn ship, and figureing out how to do something similar to those Brazil style renders Styxx did a long while back...

I'm still not sure about those 4 cannons on the flight deck.
To give you a sense of scale, those small objects in the recessed area on the top section are fighter launch tubes, a FS fighter would fit in one.. its a massive ship... still trying to make it look less "flimsy"
The two pods on the sides are additional engines to the main ones..
The larger pod on the bottom is the weapons bay. Turret controls, that kind of thing are in there...
Trying to figure out what a good way to make the habitat section connect to the spine would be... for now they just intersect...

No no..... it's not Brazil-style. It's rendered in Brazil. ;)

*looks again*

That's really weird.
Sort of a Star Trek-Freespace-S:AAB crossover. I don't particularly like it, but whatever floats your boat. :blah:

Two (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/tap/thorn/renders/battle_deimos.jpg)

The second pic just gives you a size comparison.. That black shape coming out of the hangar is a Deimos...

Post by: DragonClaw on July 28, 2003, 11:48:29 am: Hah, an original model that no one can say "it looks like this, or that." Quite unusual actually...

I actually like the design, seems a bit stunt tho, should probably stretch it a bit on the Z axis. Pull the upper flight deck section forward a bit too, I think.

[edit] heh, with the latest two pics u edited the ship didn't u... cut off that long bit connecting the deck.
