i'd actually like to start learning the fine art of modelmaking, and singh's works with DoGA got me wondering what this little proggy is all about.. so i made this one up.. a sleeper ship, backend mostly engine, and small amount of arms to ensure against natural threats (asteroids, etc)

Neat, though the tiny middle turrets look a tad odd.

****! Now I've got competition! And my god, that competition has totally pwned me!  O_O

*bows down to Turnsky

I didnt import any models into DoGA though....they were all locally created, including the Triest.

However, there is a site where you cna get a whole new library of parts, as well as a utility that allows you to import from any other format, its called metaseq or something...

ah, found it. Its called Metasequoa. You can find it here (http://www21.ocn.ne.jp/%7Emizno/main_e.html)

Links for parts:
General site (http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/web/?wb_url=http%3A%2F%2Fdoga.jp%2Fkamaty%2F&wb_lp=JAEN&wb_dis=2)

ah, you can use metaseq for that, however I think the textures screw up real badly once you export.

But I'm using the beta versions, so it could just be the bugs; you may wish to try and export to .dxf or .d3d format if you can (its under file-->export--->choose format.


To export to Metaseq, export it as a part, and then import the .suf file into metaseq.

There's a tutorial around here somewhere about how to tweak it into games...let me find it.

same overall design, but different, this is what the sleeper's chassis is based on.

[color=66ff00]I'm very much liking the way these models are progressing in quality. The dreadnought is excellent. :yes:

gotta add more "AA" guns to the ventral side, it's a tad exposed...

i've always liked assymmetrical starships..

i was inspired by HW2's Vaygr destroyer for the siege dreadnaught, it houses 2 massive planetary artillery cannons (hence the name) and the rest provide it with impressive anti capital ship defenses.

:yes:

I like the first shot of the "bengahli Siege dreadnaught" especially. Especially those many ridged spikes out the front. :)
