Title: Outerspace render
Post by: Nico on May 28, 2002, 11:05:34 am: (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/ott/renders/redsabre.jpg)

The Sabre is a concept of mine, from my own sci-fi universe, Outerspace.

yeah, the model is mine.
The hull map comes from 3dsMax, the others are procedural.
An0n: whoa, can't believe someone think outerspace would be inspired from innerspace :rolleyes:
after some searches, I've found out inner space is the english name for that movie about a dude micronized and injected into another dude, right? french title would be translated with "the inner adventure". Couldn't know, sorry, I don't care anyway.
dark 4ce: yeah, my design existed before the WC movie, but when I saw pics of the rapier ( I think it's the name ), i thought they were somehow similar and I modified a bit my ship.

The thunderbolt? Check again :) only thing i could see that are similar is the big metallic cockpit a la WW2, maybe.

Post by: Nico on May 28, 2002, 12:54:14 pm: I have a couple old Outerspace pofs, but not this one, sorry :p
would be no match even for an apollo anyway, no shields, mostly ammo based weaons, handles like a Iwar ship ( Newtonian physics, no G-well or stuff like that ).
Btw, with the weapons, polycount is for now about 31000. I still have to make the interior of the "mouth" and the interior of the cockpit. Hierarchy is done, the engines and the canopy rotate and all that stuff.

Not saying that's a bad thing :D

Post by: Redfang on May 28, 2002, 02:52:48 pm: Amazing! :jaw:

I don't know about WC :doh: , but it's still very good. The nebula is different, suns look good, and ships are detailed with good lightning. :yes2::nod::yes:

pilots have a kind of virtual helmets, the windowed cockpit is just for safety, in case systems would go down.
