Any. Ha'taks, Gliders, transport vessels, bombers, the gate. Any.
Note: Ed Giddings has taken down his models for some reason.

ummm Oooooooook
Stargate

Seriously thou...have you tried websearching for them? I used to come across 100s of SG models.
www.google.com ("http://www.google.com")
-
I've already tried that. I get Ed's site, then about 200 link sites that mention Ed's site. Other than that, they're all just renders, no models.
-
hmmm well the gate model shouldn't be to hard except all the symbols =( but if i just put a squizggle progbally the same one for each to simplify things then that might work froma distances - the htaks or whatever hmmmm abit more channglings but with patience not to hard =) hmmmm stargate fav tv show i might make some at some point but to busy at the mo =(

I don't understand the names you guys are saying here. All I know is Humans and that weird alien that posseses people. One of them called himself Ra and was killed by a nuclear bomb in the end.

Ha'Taks= Pyramid ships
Gliders= fighter craft, as also seen in the movie
transports= ugly things that look like, I don't know, but some have a cloaking device
bombers - bombers?
stargate= a big ring with lot's of symbols on it resembling stellar positions (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
------------------
You guys are still strange...
-
Bombers=Those things that attacked the captured Ha'tak in Exodus. Tanith flew one when Teal'c shot him. Several of them attacked the Tok'ra base in Summit.
-
damnit what the bombers called again? hmmmmm ok that annoys me now
-
*smack* Thanks, now it's annoying me as well.

They did make a TV show you know. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

yup StarGate SG-1 its better than the film- alot better in my opinion - but he film was still cool
also i built a stargate its not finished just need to redo the chevrons since i was doing it just to teach avenger how but desiced when i went ofline to continue and its not quite nice except of cource the chevrons - one i redo them i will post a pic and maybe that will be good enough for you
they are lightwave objects though that ok for you? cause i have no idea how to convert them to max or any other format

How come people make models of the APC outta Aliens but they don't make cool stuff like Tollan Ion Cannons, Farscape Leviathans and Starship Trooper Carriers? I fail to see why there aren't an abundance of Stargate models.
SG-1 roolz Because:
1) Goa'uld tech is cool
2) The asguard rock
3) The achen are evil
4) Entire races get wiped out on a regular basis, even super-advanced ones like the Tollan
5) It has more of the political aspects of galactic travel (one reason why B5 was so popular)
Has anyone else noticed that my posts tend to have no real flow and jump from irrelevant point to irrelevant point?

not as much as they did on WS.
-
i dont think we will ahve seen the last of the tollan maybe not this season but if there is another some will have survived remember they have starships and some were along way from their homeworld - and while anubis might be protected from there weapons most goa'uld ships aren't - and worse case senario the asguard can still whip anubis's *** all the way to andromeda and back
anyway would you believe it sky 1 has left it in the middle of the two parter with daniel jackson on the goa'uld station with that sarah person his old friend whos now orisis or some other goa'uld and its not coming back on till teh 17th of january - damn christmas & new year its getting in the way of my stargate viewing
-
That's only coz here there's a running theme. If HLP wasn't mainly FS/modelling stuff I'd be postin' a whole range of pointless crap.
(I take it you meant the posts don't and not 'the peeps don't notice as much')
hehe WS.
-
argh my mis spelling and typing has done me a diserviss- my model is IS quite nice except the chevrons
-
Uh-nonononononono.
They showed that episode taday and Nareem's transmission says "All ships attempting to escape are being shot down". You'd think if they could phase through walls they'd have some decent shields or a cloaking device.
I think that Earth will be surrounded by like 100 Goa'uld ships and an Asguard ship will have just had its *** whooped then a massive Tollan destroyer will jump in and take out some pent-up aggression on the Goa'uld. That'd be cool. Or some kinda war where the Tollan start commiting genocide on the Goa'uld.
-
Munkai....=bump=
-
me thinks that we need to see the 4th race and the ancients, we seen the nox and the asguard, but not the frewatevertheycallthemselves or the ancients, we seen loads about the ancients but not them themselves
-
Wasn't this sea creature that kidnapped Daniel one of them? The one who wanted to know what happened to his wife?
------------------
You guys are still strange...
-
No, he was an just some ancient dude who was fighting the goa'uld in babylonian times. Weren't alot of the ancients killed by that plague on the time-machine planet? And I'm sure that the Asguard said something about them going even further away than the Asguard had travelled or something like that.
I wanna know who made the replicators.
-
Oh cool I'm a Valued Member now.
-
the asguard ship getting is *** whipped? what reality are you living in man - goauld whipped teh tolans *** but the still wouldn't attack earth directly casue they are s**t scared of the asguard - the asguard rule
anyway as the the escaping ship yes they were shot down but they had ships on patrol and stuff some long way out rmemeber the episode where oneil and tealc are stuck in that glider flying out into deep space they said they had no there furthest out ship was about a just over a year away but when the tollan were first on earth the said that a ship wouldn't be able to get to them within there life time - now thats an obvious contradition so i will just assume the're drive were improved obviously not as good as the asguard as they can whip from one galaxy to another in seconds but still if they hadn't been imprved that much the ship must still have been along way from tollana - arghh ok i know there are som holes in the logic but i think they had ships not in system when teh goa'uld attacked
-
The reason Tollan ships sucked was because the Tollan never ventured to other planets much. Still doesn't explain why they didn't just send a cloaked bomb upto the Goa'uld ship when Tanith left.
I think Anubis will kick some Asguard *** before he's taken down. After all, he probably got a lot of Tollan tech before he wiped them out. (presuming it was Anubis and not Osiris).
I'm betting on the Anubis and replicator storylines coming together at some point. That'd be kinda cool. Uber-Goa'uld vs Replicators.
-
we only found out about anubis on wednesday right? or did i miss an episode when he was actually mensioned?

Wednesday.
It was either him or Osiris that sent the asteroid. I'm guessing Anubis coz i don't think Osiris coulda got that much naqueda together.
-
hmm yup of was it the week before his name was mentioned - think it was last week and this week we saw what they are upto =( but anyway noooooooooway cant the gouald have any chance against the asguard - they are completely outclassed - the tollan are completely outclassed by the asguard - on the the 4 races of the allinace were at that level of tech hell even tehre littl holo projectors can withstand a staff blast lol - the asguard are just going to be having trouble with teh replicators - i dont think they are going to be involved much
-
ohh heres the first version of the stargate with teh serioulsy dogey chevrons but otherwise i'm reasonably happy but it only has 24 symbols not 36
(http://members.aol.com/syrinx18/stargate.jpg)
-
Very Quake-ish.
-
Well, since I only get to see Stargate in syndication, this has been quite an enlightening thread.
Can't say I'm sad to hear about the Tollan though. Sounds like their isolationism and superiority complex finally caught up with them.

-
you know, KMN, I'm sure there's a lot of front shots of the SG. Why don't you use one as a map for your model? There's no better texture than an actual shot, believe me.
-
hmmmmmmm i dont know seems to be cheating =)
but anyway here it with new chevrons
(http://members.aol.com/seniledinosaur/stargate1.jpg)
-
wahoo he included the 8th and 9th chevrons, that u ladies wont see till season 4 finalie on dvd, unless u watched it already on sky
------------------

cheating? look at XWingAlliance, they scanned models. look at any detilled infantry simulator: scanned pics.
Well, anyway, it's up to you (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
For my part, I aim at the best quality available, and anyway it still requires work to make it look good, it has to match stuff right, have the right brightness etc
-
the problem would be matching up things exactly - i would be forced to get the symbols exactly right etc and i was plannin on cheating with at least some of them and just have afew repeated several times except off cource the earth symbol =)

what's the pb? ok, the basic shape of the thing is a perfect ring right? get the pic, cut it so you have the circle matching the edges of the bitmap. apply a planar UVmaping to the object et voila. Then find a side view, apply it to the edges of the mesh with cylindrical UVmapping, X tiling x4 ( maybe not X tiling, but one of them anyway), and so on (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
that might work fora very plain gate but i want alot of the detail in the model not the texture

8th chevron I know about... 9th chevron? What does that do? Send you into a different universe or something? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Oh, and btw, how come regular Stargates only have the 7? If functionality for 9 is there, why are there only 7 on all the ones SG-1 have visited? (Maybe the Asgard have the extras... I wasn't paying attention at the end of The Fifth Race)

Is it me or does Stargate have a handy little knack of simply adding in another chevron every time they need to expand the available universe?

one doesn't prevent the other (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

About the chevrons:
I always presumed that there were others on the bases of the gates (the bits that are burried) but I thought the one they shot into the sun had seven when it was spiralling to its doom?
-
there is 9 chevrons, but for travel within our galaxy we need to use 7 chevrons, and that is all the DHD can provide enough power for. if u actually dig the base of the gate out from its stand u would see the unused chevrons, if u want to travel out of a galaxy u need the 8th chevron with **** loads more power, the 9th might actually be used for even further distances like to where the ancients are
------------------

why design the dhd to not take full advantage though?

Right, so that's where they are! I see... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
KMN, my guess is that they didn't want to let any old Tom, **** and Harry use the most powerful features of the SG - probably reasoning that races advanced enough to have a reason (or to be allowed) to travel such great distances would also be able to figure out a way themselves to harness the extra power. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
no the races that use gates widely oftin are capable of makeing them too, they should know about it so the realy-fricking-far-9th symbol is probly just not needed as most of the races useing them have enough problems from useing the normal 7 chevrons
------------------
Bobboau, bringing you products that work.............. in theory
-
Another thing - you'd think they'd create a computer program to run through and try every possible chevron combination and finding out what goes where (especially with the 9th chevron and all). Have they tried this? you think they would (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
-
a question? who decided to burry those two chevrons, and not two others (or maybe I completly understood... nothing?).
-
It probably doesn't matter which are burried, the gate will most likely have some balancing thingy to make the highest one the seventh chevron.
And maybe the ninth chevron doesn't do anything. Maybe it's just there for future expansion of the gate network or as some special feature like using the time travel thingy in some way.
