Ok, I got bored so I decided to do a little mini project and make my own capital ship, based (of course) on the GTD Orion model. Heres the result thus far:

I'm not sure how much farther I'm going to take the project, but I hope you all like the reskin anyway (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Jealous of not having a ship named after you? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Nice lookin'. Looks a bit like the Galatea II, actually.

setekh = icq?

I hate you Setekh, but it's fair enough (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)
And I see what you mean about the Galatea, I'm hoping to add some bits and pieces if I get that far though...
Oh - and I'd join you both on ICQ but I have to do some stuff, I'll see you later if I can get on...

Glee! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Does anyone know how to model and add turrets to a ship, I have a few alterations planned to make this thing live up to it's name sake...but it'll need more hitpoints to have the right surface area/firepower ratios...

Ok, heres a mock-up of the Thunder with the added weapons hardpoints. If anyone has the ability to model this into the model and add the functioning weapons then please contact me as I don't hae a clue where to start. Thanks (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Setekh was the one who converted the file, I'm not sure what he used - but yes I'm aware that it mirrors it. Try and imagine it the other way around and thats what the ship will look like (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

There's no reason why we CAN'T have a lefty ship... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
What if you took two Orions, mirrored one, and merged them on the fighterbay side?

I like the idea but I think by doing that you'd loose the whole "Orion" feel of the ship that everyone loves (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well I made the Galatea last November for FS1. I could do it better now, but most of my fleet fits with this now so I won't change it. The only thing I changed was the name, it's now SOC Galatea instead of GTI Galatea II.
Nice ship btw

I know how, have you seen BWO, we have several ships (including the Orion) that are rebuilt, I can send you a basic orion redy for convertion, but you would need to rebuild the turret... data
------------------
Bobboau, bringing you products that work.............. in theory
-
I have an entire fleet of personal capships...
-
Thanks Bobboau, although Styxx is going to add some turrets for me, I don't know when he will - but I'd be very greatful if you could send e the mode anyway, that way I could get to work on making the new main weapon and balancing it all out.
Oh, and to everyone else: god knows I'd love to have a personal capitalship - but I can't model (not totally true, I can make a box). And besides - I love the Orions design!

I wanna see the Starwave in action. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
You will (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
You beauty. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) Ever considered doing renders with your new ships? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
I don't really do many renders these days. Especially since I pretty much have to use trueSpace if I want to keep the textures. I wish Blender could load textured cobs... it's so much better for rendering (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
Are people still developing Blender? Email them and ask. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
Yes they are, they pretty much have a new version every two months (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Blender DOES have some kind of cob import, or will have very soon, because if I try to load a cob, it doesn't complain but doesn't show anything either. On lwo it just says "File type not recognised".
[EDIT]MONTHS, not weeks.

That's comforting to know. So there's light at the end of the tunnel (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
Very nice ship Jabu! I actually like the colour scheme on that Orion (and I think that good Orion skins are few and far between personally).
And Maeglamor, thanks for the offer on that - Styxx is doing one for me but If you want something to do then feel free to attempt it. Basically I'd like turrets placed where there are little coloured dots on my second image of the Thunder. But don't feel you have to if you don't want to (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

That skin was only a quick-fix for the FS2 Story Debate in Spacebattles. As I said there, all I did was colorize the textures in PSP (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
I'll improve them for a more final version.
-
I've been drawing concept art for my own desroyer class. I have it pretty much down pat, but my Rhino demo only has two more saves left, so I'm very cautious about saving. (It takes over an hour to download on my 56k modem. If only I could cut&paste my model in rhino to blender!) Oh well. The design itself was similar to the Golgotha but had a more Shivan look to it, a kind of hybrid I suppose. Though it's only one ship, in reality I would have two of them working in tandem with each other (hence the name GTD Gemini.) making them very deadly. Of course they still pose a threat if only one is present, but they MUST be together if they're main weapon is to be used in its full power.

-
It sounds fantastic - it is a pity about Rhino and Blender. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) However, I must say that it is amazing to see the standard of mods - new models and skins definitely not the least of which - has been increasing steadily over the months, and nowadays, every new thing to come out is stunning. Kudos.
-
can't rhino save in DXF?

Sweet design dude.
You really want this ship armed to the teeth, you're putting turrets on the fighter launch platform (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Maybe you should tell us, and we can try. Or you could learn (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Hmm. Maybe I could learn. Anyone know where I can get a free 3D design program thing?
-
Blender ("http://www.blender.nl[/url") is a free modelling program, used by quite a few people, though it has a steep learning curve (or so I'm told). Various versions of trueSpace trials are available, head to Caligari.com ("http://www.caligari.com") for the latest one, which will last 30 days. There is a place to get TS1 for free - I can't remember the link. Someone around here knows (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
