Title: Sketchup ship...
Post by: Unknown Target on November 29, 2007, 02:33:06 am
Made of about three hours of simple doodling - extruding, resizing, attaching, etc. There's only three unique objects in the whole thing, discounting the engine thrusters in the rear:

Cheers! :)

EDIT: This, hopefully, will be a UT3 level - I'm going to blow it up (I know, I modeled the whole thing just to blow it up :D), and use the chunks as a level :).

Looks a tad fragile, but I dig fragility. Bloody nice work! :yes:

Looks like a funky gun. :wtf:

Won't say much other than it looks nice overall, though if it was made into a POF, I'd have no idea what role to give it... too stylish for a cargo ship and too fragile to be an artillery beam frigate. Not forgetting that exposed bridge-thingy at the top (if that's the bridge, that is).

Would prolly work as a random set piece in some space opera or something... (great, now I'm thinking that old show Vandread. LOL.)

WIP so far:

Sorry to bump this again, but I scrapped the texture and have started detailing work, how's this look?

Oooooh, awesome.  :yes: :)

I especially love the engine arrangment you have there, though it looks like you've pulled the side pods off in the last couple of pics.

Nice! :yes2: :nod: :yes:
Are you going to use it in Freespace 2 Open? ;7

VA: I'm just removing it so I can greeble it more easily :) The engine pods are still there.

Hades: No, but if someone is willing to get it to work I might end up releasing it, I was/am going to use it for UT3.

Nifty. Now it looks like some fancy capship. :D

Only my ideas vocabulary dictates that something stylish and skinny like that wouldn't be (valuable/doesn't last long) in combat... nevermind, don't mind me. It's your model anyway. =X

Would it be too much to ask for a screenie of the entire model? :)

UT3? I'd try it out in instant action and frag a couple of bots if it's released as a map. Something like Hyperblast...

I didn't really think of a particular role for it, it's just "a ship".

That being said, I'm still working on it:

It reminds me of a Megathron (http://izlin.free.fr/eve/ships/megathron_2.jpg) from EVE. Very nice nonetheless. I know you can make it look B-E-A-UTIFUL.

While I appreciate the kudos, I don't think that it's necessary to revive such an old thread. :) Me closing my own thread, who woulda thunk?
