I'm in a modelling mood. But I lack inspiration. (Well, I lack good[/b] inspiration...)
I'd like to make meshes from drawings and the like, doesn't matter what game.
So if you made, have, found, or whatever else I can put in this space, concept art, or ridiculously high poly models I can copy from, I'd be much obliged.
Pwease?!
Edit: Oh. I realize that could be very broad... Ships. I want to model ships. Fighters, destroyers, bombers, corvettes, I don't care. :)
-
I've got something, but I have no clue where.....
Basicly it's an bomber-cruiser hybrid. Fighter weapons, bit of bombs, and 2-3 cannons using fighter weaps as well. Enough space to store 2 weeks worth of supply's, and powerfull enough to pull a steady 30 and 40 in a sprint. I've got some art lying around somewhere, but it could've been on some old deleted webspace.
-
Oh god, I didn't realise it was this bad:
http://www.swooh.com/peon/kasperl/HPVtop1clean.gif
http://www.swooh.com/peon/kasperl/HPV001.cob
Don't ask me what's in the cob, I don't have TS on this machine. No 3dex either.
Anyway, a bit more of a description:
About 100 meters long (This is still a lot smaller then a levy, right?), a quarter of that high and wide. Looks like a brick, flies like one. Has "quarters" for a pilot an co-pilot, a flight engineer and 2 gunners. Meaning 3 bunk beds, a single toilet/shower (think RV), and a microwave. Meant for 1 to 2 week patrolls in border systems, where cruisers are too expensive and fighters have to return to base too often. Has 2*4 primaries, and 3 very large secondary banks. 3 turrets, top and sides, one either AI or gunned by the engineer. The turrets can be equiped with any fighter weapon, mostly subach, morning star or maxim. Shields, but not much. Good armor. 30-40 m/s. Made out of old fighters and other pieces of junk, so there can be variations.
I had a pretty worked out idea on these, but I lost the texts and don't have the time to re-type it all.
-
I've got a few sketches - I'll see if I c'n scan 'em in for ya :)
-
...No offense to Kas, but maybe I should change my request to slightly more detailed concept art.
But I will look at the cob, and see what's what with it.
-
Yeah, I'm not offended, I just forgot how awfull it was.
-
i had some ideas, but i wrote them on a napkin using a sharpie, so i can't tell what it is anymore...
you can have some photoshop failures of mine later
-
I'd say I spent an hour on this mesh...
-
Anybody like it? I'm not totally pleased with it, but I do like the idea...
-

What's a photoshop failure? I'm curious now...
-
just little things i draw in photoshop, kinda like a really expensive (well, mines ripped...) version of MS Paint.
just little ideas that float around in my head, they look more star-warsy though...
Edit: I like the mesh, like some kind of freighter or something, that or some sort of crazy Ion Frigate from Homeworld...
-
Yeah, I've gotta stop designing ships around their engines... Although I really like these...
-
Here's an idea, though I can't scan it, so I'll just describe it.
Take an Erinyes, add a pair of high-mouted wings with an anhedral, and a pair of low mounted wings with a diheral. Both pairs would attatch on to the nacelle sections of the fuselage, about halfway from the nose to the tail of the craft. The upper wings anhedral is greater than the dihedral of the lower wings. They meet at a pair of weapons pods, that are the same shape and proportion as the Erinyes' main nacelles, though about 1/3 the size. The addition of the wings and weapons pods on the sides, give this fighter a total width of about 3-4 times that of the Erinyes. The resulting shape is reminiscent of the Romunlan Warbird from ST. It also has a small ventral fin, similar to the Hurc1, but not as long proportionally. The maps would be similar to the Erinyes, but where brown is the pimary colour on that ship, green is present on this ship... Romulan Warbird green. It would be slower and slightly less agile than the Erinyes, but it still handles better than the Hurcs or the Ares. Weapons cappacity and armor would be greater than the Erinyes, with the addition of a 3rd secondary bay, but less than the Ares.
Hope that gives you something to work with. I call it the Thunderbolt.
BTW, your "ship" pof, IMO would make a better hi-poly render of a fighter primary, for the creation of loadout ani... not that I could do any better, with no modling skills at all.
Later!
-
I had a few ideas the other day...drew them, but i cant transfer em to my home PCs.........
Shouldnt be too hard to re-draw in paint though.. :/
-
Looks Star Warsy actually, but more like the EU Stuff (Carrack, Lancer Etc.)
-
we need a dedicated, sticky thread for this...
-
I like the engine block on that, Raa. :p :D
-
Yeah so do I, the only thing is once I built the engines, I couldn't figure out how to design the rest of the ship. :p Give me a little while, I'll post the back end with some textures on it. (Man MAX is easier to texture with than TS)
-
Here you go, Raa - concept piccies. They're somewhat large, but I've reduced them down as far as they'll go while still being readable. :)
Iron Duke-class destroyer

Dreadnought-class super-heavy destroyer
http://www.freewebs.com/pyro-manic/super-heavy01.jpg
I've got a tactical carrier as well, but I wanna see if I can do it myself (it's much simpler than these). See if you can do these - I haven't got a hope in hell... ;)
EDIT: Bah, they never show from that host. Changed 'em to links.
-
Snipes: jeez, if you want something to model, why didn't you ask me? :p
MSN! MSN!
-
Yeah, but that's different. You want campaign stuff, I want to model what I think is cool looking. :p
-
Who says that can't coincide? :p
Did you change those textures btw?
-
It's Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber!
Anyhow, here's some of my WIPs:
Interior of some 800m SW warship, with one external front/back view at the bottom (http://www.geocities.com/poison_quill/AccInt.txt)
One of my many Star Destroyer designs, this one oversized with a carrier basis. (http://www.geocities.com/poison_quill/BSD.txt)
A gunship with Bab5, FS2, and SW influences (http://www.geocities.com/poison_quill/gunship.txt)
A missile cruiser, with AAA beams and flak guns. Note that the massive antiship missile tubes should be in those blocky structures in the rear to either side. (http://www.geocities.com/poison_quill/missilecruiser.txt)
Something I'm working on now. (http://www.geocities.com/poison_quill/wipcruiser.txt)
-
Bandwidth exceeded. Wait one hour.
-
Typical. I really need to get some actual webspace, I've just never needed any up until the past two weeks or so.

i like, it'll look great when its all shiny and stuff.
redo the deimos, with the curves all smoothed and it'll look great
-
Yeah the Deimos needs to be redone. To me it doesn't look like a corvette. Just cut the bottom off the diemos and add some nice engines on the bottome with a fighter bay below.

Blasphemy! Thou shalt not alter the Deimos. Thou may IMPROVE the Deimos, but not alter it. :D
Later!
-
Meh, I guess I'm weird, but I like the Deimos as-is. Sure, some parts you can see polygons where it's supposed to be smooth. But if anybody touches that thing and messes it up :drevil:
-
Hmmm... interesting... I don;'t really have an opinion one way or the oither just yet, but It might be hard to make it look good with the standard FS tiled texs... you may need to poach for thjis ship.
-
I had a sort of 'baby' Deimos model.... think it's in the Reci DL thread on this forum.
-
Well, I been trying to make this one:
(http://swooh.com/peon/liberator/purplething.bmp)
but have been having little luck.
And then there's this one:
(http://swooh.com/peon/liberator/freenthing.bmp)
-
I can't even tell what that is... Anyway. I have another ripoff to show. Mikhael'll kill me, but I don't care.
-
Like I said, I ripped off mikhael's Dragonfly mesh that I saw in the 158th dev site. Mine isn't nearly as good of course, and it actually looked alot better to me last night ( :doubt: ), but here it is anyway...

(http://3dap.com/hlp/hosted/14_year_war/Raa/mripoff3.jpg)
But what did you expect? I only spent about 40 minutes on it...
-
I'm trying to use my college webspace, but there seems to be a software problem involved, so I'm waiting for tech support. Heh. Any luck d/ling from that Geocities account?
-
Raa, that looks like an Orca from C&C: Renegade, minus the enginesof course.
Those are ships from a 2D SHMUP I got from HOTU.
-
Never played C&C. I copied the design from Mik's render in the 158th forum...
Anywho. I got bored, and textured this model I found in Aldo's modeldump... Blankfighter, it was called.

Here we go. I had to learn several unix commands and relearn how to use ftp in the process, but I finally have webspace.
