No text. Just speculation.
-
Looks good in my view, also kind of looks Vasudan.
-
Looks pretty Vasudanish but with a bit of Terran influence. Any chance we could get some more views?
-
I'm still trying to figure out something on the bottomside. When I get it to my liking, I'll show more. The top, is pretty much how it is, though, unless I can think of more greebling.
-
TV Hybrid? These are difficult to make as models, but utter impossible evil *****es to texture right. The fact that you've pulled off the first half is very good, getting the second would be... better? Much better?
-
Why should a Terran Vasudan Hybrid also have both texture styles?
When I would build a ship I would build it with one methode and mostly the same materials for the entire hull.
So whats the problem in giving it just Vasuden textures?
Beside that..nice model...looks Vasudan to me.
-
Nice model, but the greebling (square-ish extrusions) make it look distinctly un-Vasudan. The front is very Vasudan, but the middle and back are rather less so. Be interesting to see what else you do to it. :yes: I'd say it needs a "vertical" feature, some sort of superstructure (Terran) or some tail-like fins (Vasudan). Or something. Good stuff though :)
-
Ehh. I never said it was Vasudan or Terran. ;)
You people all jump on a bandwagon. ;)
I can;t wait to see what I do with it, either, though. :nervous:
-
Looks Covenant :nervous:
-
Damnit... no. I thought I was being original.... :(
Figures....
-
I could see a covenant connection if you were going for that, but overall it's a good original design. I like :)
-
looks like a perfect terran/vasudan hybrid to me
-
I meant that it looks like a Covenant design, I'm not thinking of any specific ship. ;) It also reminds me of the submarine in Seaquest DSV :p The prow has a somewhat organic shape, which is good if it's a Vasudan vessel, or a new-design Terran one.
-
The middle structures appear to be either escape pods or heavy broadside weaponry. I can't quite tell from this angle.
-
Or little docking bays. Too big for EP's I think.
-
looks like a giant space spork ;)
Can't really offer any C&C on it beyond that
-
If anything, it's an oyster fork... :p
-
I think it leans vasudan
-
Raa, it looks cool.
I'm going to assume that the front is the on the bottom in that picture.
Although, if, somehow, you could make the roundish part on the bottom in that pic the back, it's coolness factor jump about 1500%.:D
-
Looks like a V-T war Vasudan ship. It'd work with a texture job like the one on a Satis.
A real V-T war Vasudan ship that is ;)
-
Looks like ****.
-
Well I think it's look good, now texture it!

looks like it might be a vasudan gas miner adv.

i bet i can sink a 3 pointer from half court better than you can, but thats not really relevent to the conversation.

Drew. If you don't like it say why. Offer constructive comments on what could be improved. What you said is absolutely worthless and if that's all you can contribute to the thread you'd be better off saying nothing at all.

If you've got a constructive comment to make, then say it. If you've only got drivel to spout, take it somewhere else - because it doesn't help anyone, and it doesn't enrich our lives any more.
And especially don't make comments like 'it looks ****' if you're unable to prove you can do better.

I'd actually take that one step back, as you don't need modeling experience to say what you don't like about a model. Constructive criticism - that which points out concerns you may have about the shape or direction the model is going - is perfectly fine. But to say it's not good without saying why is like telling a girl you've never seen that she's fat. You just shouldn't do it.

I don't mean modelling experience necessarily, just design experience.
Like, um....
"for the underside, why not add a 'soft belly' - make it semi-circular from the front, add in stylistic 'ribs' for texture & surface variation, and then blend in some harded edge armoured / mechanical style surfaces at the rear for the engines, and possible in the midsection / front for heavy weapons. Also maybe add a sort of underslung appearance from the side view (which I don't have, so guessing a bit from the top-perspective view here), with the curve downards starting just about at the midsection 'split'"
Or just complete the following 'it looks ****, because ....', which is really the least anyone can ask.
-
i think it could be a terran influence on vasudan design, 'cause were always seeing how vasudans make an impact on terran ships, weve got to do something better than them, so here it is

and i bet i can drop a high powered round through the ball at a thousand yards out in high winds.
the point is....this is a thread about the model. I bet i can shoot better than aldo or raa. but can i model like them? hell no. so for me to say..."looks like ****" is a grave disservice not to them or the talent that they posess, but instead it is a grave disservice to all of the community. because while I may be outdo either of them at something away from the freespace community, i certainly cannot achieve what they have within said community, so what i can beat them at doesn't matter to this community. however the quality of that model does matter within these confines and in this context. The best i can hope for is to say...i think that this would look cool.....and then tell them.
I would not think to disrespect someone else's talent when i haven't got that same talent. if you are seriously wanting to disrespect the talent that raa has, by all means then do so, but do so after showing off your own talent, and thereby earning the right.
if there are too many large words in that for you, please allow me to simplify things: put up or shut up.
and turumbar i was having that same thought a couple of nights ago. instead of terran ships influenced by vasudan design, i would love to see vasudan ships influenced by terran design.

And your opinion means nothing to me. :)
Aldo, Strat, Kara, and Shadow, Thank you. There are reasons I respect you, and this is but one.
Oh... *adds drew to his ignore list* since all I've ever seen him post is trolling, anyway.
-
Hey, Raa, I'm gonna have to not like this model. It seems too blocky, yet too smooth at the same time. Actually my first thought was that it was a human/covenant hybrid ship :D.

Baskeball? That's not really relevant to any conversation.
-
:sigh: There goes another of my threads. :blah:
-
Ya know what, this looks higarran, a bit like the battlecruiser from HWII
-
not sure what i would do, i think it rocks just the way it is
-
Which race are you planning to use this for anyway?

D'ya really think he'd say?
-
Maybe it could be a bit thicker and wider, it just looks too long and flat, like its made of paper.
-
The speculation continues...

If it's for the race I have internal access for he might give a broad hint :D

hint.... grin.... same thing.

It's Hiigaran...
-
Bugger! No it's not!
*looks up Hiigaran*
Homeworld?!
Hmm... Is that a compliment, or a criticism? :confused:
-
Lib: that should be "It looks Hiigaran." Statement of opinion rather than of fact. If you wanted to go Homeworld with it, it'd be a HW2 Hiigaran/Bentusi hybrid. But I don't think it's headed in that direction personally; I could see the influence if you gave it very similar textures, but not otherwise.
-
It's pretty close: at first glance I thought that was a Hiigaran Carrier in the second pic.
-
*has never played Homeworld*
-
KT is a big fan of varied angles when viewing models.
-
Raa doesn;t feel like showing off everything about this model.

LOCK THIS THREAD! :p

Rift the thread!

I think you should keep the model just the way it is. The blocky structure at the back won't be too noticable after skins are added. The model should probably be Vasudan, as the front is the most noticable part and it is very curved and Vasudanlike. My only suggestion would be to downgrade the size to a large corvette or very small destroyer. About twice as big as a Sobek. :)

[color=66ff00]Can the spam guys.
I like the model, it's functional looking and has eye candy value.

Thank You. :)
