Title: GTVACv Barbarian
Post by: boewolf on December 02, 2003, 02:41:03 am
In following with my attempts to conbine terran and vasuden in one ship i have a strike corvette that was inspired by the starcraft battle cruiser and Hatshepsut destroyer.  the skins need redoing as usual and i need to remake the multi part turrets but here is what it looks like

here is why i need to redo the multi part turrets.

(http://users.ncable.com.au/gtbernaldo/pics/GTVACv%20barb/barbturret.jpg)

There are three main beam weapons and six forward anit-cap ship missile launchers.  and to defend the rear their is four light to medium beam weapons.

It's a start!

Play around with the design a bit more (and with texture tiling and the textures themselvs)

To Devils_Hitman: shut the hell up. Instead of laughing at his model give him some constructive criticism.  Looking good boewolf

Devils_Hitman so i may not use the same program u do.  but at least i am trying to improve my skills with what i can get hold of.  

I altered some of the turret possitions and changed all the multi part turrets completely.  The texturing has also been redone and i like the result.  Some of the ideas are also inspired from Inferno, so if anyone from Inferno sees this and likes it i will gladly let u use it.

careful no talking here about where you can get a program like 3dsmax illegaly or you can get banned

Post by: boewolf on December 02, 2003, 07:47:18 am
I wasn't thinking illegal version.  I was thinking a downloadable trial version.  then seeing where i stand.

's a nice concept, I'll give you that. :) Needs a helluva lot more polys, though. Add details, to break up that big grey texture, and to smooth it off around the edges. At the moment it looks like it was hewn rather than built!

You could make the front "hammerhead"-type bit curve down like the engines, and add some superstructure to the spine of the ship and the front hull. Add some stuff to the engine nacelles to make them less prism-like. Then make the turrets a bit smaller and shorten the barrels. Also, the ones on the front just need to be little disc-like shapes, not huge cylinders.

If you want to try 3DS Max, then download GMax from www.discreet.com. It's pretty much the same (so I'm told - I haven't used 3DS Max), but without the rendering functions. :)

Looks cool.

Although strikingly similar to an Ur-Quan Dreadnought from Star Control

It makes me remember a Battlecruiser from Starcraft.
It needs better texturing(obviously). The shape is good.

Tastes like TOS.

Reminds me of TOS Klingon ships.

Maybe this is just me, but the turrets seem too big (Or the ship too small).
Title: GTVACv Barbarian
Post by: boewolf on December 02, 2003, 11:33:09 pm
I could say that i was trying to get a bit intimidating look happening.  as in a big chunky visualy intimidating barb with big weapons and the strength to match.  so thats why i made the turrets big.  but i will try smaller turrets to see what it is like.

After making the hull more corvette size i tested my ability to make turrets work.  

the three foward guns

the rear guns

(http://users.ncable.com.au/gtbernaldo/pics/GTVACv%20barb/back.jpg)

just double the fire power for the botton rear guns

and finily the missiles.

You need to break up the big flat space at the front.  And also it needs a retexturing job, bad....

the fowrd section is somewhat similar.  The Hatshepsut has an axe type thing on the front and so does this.
Title: GTVACv Barbarian
Post by: Starks on December 05, 2003, 11:33:27 pm
My god, this thing is ugly... No offense, but that is way too blocky for Terran and way too flat for Vasudan. Second, the texturing is too bland.

Post by: boewolf on December 05, 2003, 11:36:00 pm
none taken.  well it isn't supost to feel like either.  I making my own feel for my own ships.  I am also trying to mix the two together.

Hybrids are supposed to look sexy... Take the Collosus for example...
Title: GTVACv Barbarian
Post by: boewolf on December 05, 2003, 11:46:58 pm
but how is sexy going to strike fear into the Shivans when they see something like the Collosus when they look sexy??

Might as well make a cube and call it a destroyer...
Title: GTVACv Barbarian
Post by: boewolf on December 05, 2003, 11:50:49 pm
cubes are too easy to hit with beams.  there is a chance that one will miss fron the front, back or sides

Yeah, the Colossus. That's like Rosanne Barr sexy. Or maybe even Dame Edna sexy. :rolleyes: Hell. Its almost as bad as an Orion.

Stick to honestly sexy ships, like the Mara and the Medusa and pretty much everything I've done for the 158th, or Venom and Aldo have done for anything.

But please, never call the Colossus sexy again. Think of the children.

That sounds like it should be a country song, "she thinks my cap ship's sexy!" :lol:

   As for the Collossus, to each their own... I'll take the Sapce Battleship Kariyu or the  super sub-carrier Angeles anyday! (now those are two sexy ships!!!) ;7
