Title: What I have been up to
Post by: DamoclesX on February 28, 2005, 06:35:54 pm: Some shots of some of my work, they are for a commercial game that you will be hearing more about in the near future, I cant really answer any specific questions about them tho but I can post some pics!! (go figure)

They are in different stages of work, most are nearly done, they just need texture touchups and other general engine related things.

Post by: comic on February 28, 2005, 06:45:07 pm: Like it, the fighter looks good, especialy the cockpit.

Got any more views of the ships, the designs are cool.

Almost reminds me of BSG that heavy cruiser.

Post by: DamoclesX on February 28, 2005, 06:57:42 pm: Not yet, I can only give certain pics out or it would be pretty easy to pick out what these are for lol.

All of the designes are re-imaging based on an existing setup, so I had limited freedom, although I really broke it in some areas lol.

None of the ships there have weapons, other then the fighter, it also has a 30 degree arc ball turrent under the nose that auto tracks and fires.

The cruiser is gonna have quite a few big guns on it, its kind of the "standard" design, thats the carrier support version, it has the landing pods on the sides.

The main focus they have is designs that look good, but would WORK, not crazy ass cool looking designs that would break 5 ft out of spacedock.

For example all the engines fire both ways, so you can accelerate and decelerate, and this fighter is setup to also work in the planet areas.

I"ll see what other pics I can give up, I have 100x the ingame pics lol.. but giving those out wouldnt be the SMARTEST thing to do lol

Post by: Taristin on February 28, 2005, 07:54:02 pm: The plating on that fighter is basically how I wanted to do my Destroyer... but I don't have the talent to make maps like that...
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: DamoclesX on March 01, 2005, 12:07:18 pm: I changed one of the pics to a destroyer concept.

Title: What I have been up to
Post by: DamoclesX on March 02, 2005, 08:48:55 pm: Thanks guys.

I can show this one, it was an older design, one of the first I did, its still in the game, but its been changed a bit, the "ear muffs" around the bridge area are gone, the hanger area actually has textures lol, and a few things.

Its a high contrast shot, ment to show off the design

This is like an Old Republic design from KotOR.
The first pic(the heavy fighters) looks like a Predator ship for me. It doesn't mean I don't like them.
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: DamoclesX on March 05, 2005, 09:49:05 pm: Ya it kind of does lol, maby that was their inspiration for the basic layout of it.

Mind you, I made a lot of changes, you cant really see it, but it has a swooping down raptor kind of look to it.

there are 2 other version of it, one with a longer neck that kind of angles down like a bird of prey with wings that swoop up, its really sweet looking in game.

I"ll see if I can find some of the renders of the light cruiser build, it wont give anything away since its a new design.

Post by: Krackers87 on March 07, 2005, 12:56:24 pm: Those are pretty sweet, but my questions is; Where are teh Gunz??
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: DamoclesX on March 07, 2005, 05:55:31 pm: all added by the game engine
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: Taristin on March 07, 2005, 06:09:34 pm: Ahh. Like FSOpen. ;)
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: Deepblue on March 07, 2005, 09:14:36 pm: Heh, and no one has actually used it yet.
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: DamoclesX on March 08, 2005, 05:01:46 pm: Ya, its funny, cause, when you build a ship, and you dont have to think about guns, when it comes time to add the guns you are like.. um.,.. CRAP I KNEW I was forgetting something.

Made for some nice things I had to fix on some of the ships lol

I didn't even know there was such feature.
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: DamoclesX on April 04, 2005, 10:29:38 am: Well, as things go, things change lol, the fighter on the first page got "reworked" it is in fact now a heavy bomber with huge wings for carrying a lot of crap that goes boom.

There are also 2 varients, a fighter varient and a light interceptor varient.

Also included a pic of a pirate fighter, rusted out and old tech.

Im hoping everything will be out in the open soon, so I can start posting some in game shots and what not, let me tell you, right now it easly gives nexus a run for its money, its great.

Post by: c914 on April 04, 2005, 12:11:24 pm: I just love texture fork on those ships, its apsolutly fantastic:D
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: Nuclear1 on April 04, 2005, 12:40:07 pm: The fighter reminds me of a cross between the Valkyrie and the Kulas.

Not that that's bad or anything ;) Awesome work, dude :yes:
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: aldo_14 on April 04, 2005, 06:49:50 pm: I'm getting a definite Galactica influence from the second one.

Annoyingly, I was just working on a not-so-dissimilar concept... :p
Title: What I have been up to
Post by: Jeryko on April 04, 2005, 09:57:42 pm: Those designs are really kick-ass. But, the textures ( :eek2: ) really make the ships work. Nice job. :nod: :yes:
