Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: modis on April 30, 2005, 05:33:32 pm: This is my first model which I'm showing for public.
I was working on TS 3.2 and decided to show it and ask Your opinion.

This should be heavy multipurpose cruiser. I don't think it could be from FS universe, because it has rotation habitat and some kind of fighter launchers (you can see them in shot 4).
Of course, no weapons yet.

I added my fighters to let you imagine how it looks

Waiting for your advices, opinions and critique (just not too much).

Post by: Dave2040 on April 30, 2005, 05:44:00 pm: I like the design of the ship very much..
Is it a science vessel?

Post by: MatthewPapa on April 30, 2005, 06:13:26 pm: Looks like it should be a gas miner of some sort.

Post by: Rampage on April 30, 2005, 11:13:04 pm: Lose the balls.

But other than that - - - - it looks very nice. All you have to do is make those combined primitives and use Lightwave or something to mesh it all together. Then add in some detail.

Love the sextant thing on the hull. It'd be cool if it oscillated instead of spinning around. Go SCP crew or something...

Post by: Ypoknons on May 01, 2005, 01:30:21 am: Way to go !

Poly the balls :) Detail by bevelling the sidearms. That kind of thing - most people like HTL models these days, I'm guessing.

Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: karajorma on May 01, 2005, 04:03:09 am: Love it. It needs some smoothing to make it a bit more high poly but I absolutely love it :)
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: Flipside on May 01, 2005, 07:43:03 am: Looking good! You need to polyficate the front section in my opinion, is too much large flat area compared to the rest of the ship, but then, it may well look different when textured :)

Post by: krisvek on May 01, 2005, 09:52:55 am: penis references? what penis references?

anyhow, keep the balls, theyre yummy...

i imagine them as being some kinda fuel containers or something....not from the FS universe though

Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: Rictor on May 01, 2005, 08:59:04 pm: Looks great. My only recommendation would be to add greebling to the big spinny thing, since it's so prominent. Its the only thing that really stands out as undetailed.

Post by: Imagine on May 01, 2005, 10:37:39 pm: two balls are not enough
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: FireCrack on May 01, 2005, 11:06:57 pm: The front end should be narrower and longer...
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: modis on May 02, 2005, 12:25:02 am: I have problams with internet so couldn't answer.
Everyone saw balls in this model :D
I think this should be power plants or so kind of living quarters. Maby even fuel tanks like someone said.
I will work more on front today, but I don't relly know what to do.
I don't have much free time so next update can take some time.

lol, had to do it. :D

that looks awesome, dude. keep it up. :yes:
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: Nuke on May 04, 2005, 01:22:17 am: the balls are obviously fusion reactor cells for the engines. or perhaps theres a way to use semen as fuel.

Post by: modis on May 04, 2005, 08:28:57 am: At last I had some more time to play with my model.

Sorry ball's fanats, but I made everything to make them look diferent. Also remade fighter launcher.
I really need any suggestions about front side because I ran out of ideas there.

Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: Unknown Target on May 04, 2005, 11:00:59 am: Looks awesome. But for all the people that were bashing my ships as looking like penises: at least mine didn't have balls :p
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: StratComm on May 04, 2005, 12:40:54 pm: In all seriousness, the last thing to cross my mind when I saw the first picture of this was this looked like a dick. The two tanks on the sides are just that: tanks. For all the people that moan and scream about ships resembling certain body parts, just shut up unless you can do something better :rolleyes:

@UT: If memory serves, it wasn't that your ships looked like dicks per-se, they just looked particularly well-endowed. :p
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: Unknown Target on May 04, 2005, 02:13:29 pm: How so? They just had a bent nose, that's all :p

Anyway, my suggestion would be, to remove all this stupid "penis" nonsense, would just be to sling the tanks one in front of the other underneath the belly of the ship.

They had a helmet. And if you don't know what that means, then...er.. you're own your own, cos I'm not going to crank open google for an example.

anyways; modis, that looks good so far :) If you're stuck for ideas on the front, maybe model in some finer details (tubes/pipework, vents, hexagonal turret mounts, recessed cabin lights) there.

I defo like the fighter launcher, though.

Oh, I wouldn't worry much about that kind of complains... Every time they see something vaguely curve, they begin imagining a penis... uhhh... that makes me wonder... :nervous:

I see a fish when I look at that image.
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: Unknown Target on May 04, 2005, 07:20:45 pm: So do I.

Anyway, I think that basically everything looks like a penis, simply because the penis has a very adept shape to something that looks like it would go fast: small in the front, big in the back. The reason people see a penis in every model that's posted is just because they look for it.

You know, if you made it so those ventral pods don't rotate, then straighten them so they don't arc, but are rather completely parallel to the centerline, it could look somewhat BSG-ish, though more Original series than the new one. It looks like it could be an old light carrier class... perhaps the designs that the various colonies used during any conflicts they might have with each other, before they decided to unite.
Title: First time for public: My model
Post by: modis on May 05, 2005, 02:23:49 am: Trivial Psychic your describtion of my model is quite good. It is something with dated technologies, quick to construct and what can be used in any situation. Really looks like all these human designs used in science fiction films.

And if Nuke took off it's model textures wee would see different picture.

Post by: Nuke on May 05, 2005, 05:54:13 am: you have to amit its a damn good texture job. the fauceted windows look real good with the env mapping on. if there was a most phallic ship contest i think pf chimera would win :D
