I don't think this part of the main page is still updated, but it's high time for one, anyway. Your own models, bonus points for being working FS mods, with a short explanation of what the hell it is.

I can't get to my computer to upload my really nice stuff, but here's a starter:



Underside:


1k-long flagship (I might change it to 1/2k- I've been using metric scale like it was English, so I'm probably off by a lot), the entire top's a power plant for the two lateral LR laser arrays. The smallest heavy capship I've got for the Coalition by far.

We had a second one of these, but it never went through. Oh, well, what's the max amount of models we can submit?

*thinks KMN, wEvil and Venom are gonna 0wn this*

[Stryke 9]

How 'bout two, but you can edit your post and replace them if you really want to?

We shall see. I've improved the Kami a fair bit, and I've got some other models that I might feel like releasing...

nope, coz last time we couldn't use already made ships, and there's no way I'll make a ship just for a contest, I don't have any spare time for that.

Who says you can't use ready-made? I don't have anything that's not for some other project or another, and I'm sure as hell not gonna be disqualified from my own contest... c'mon, bring it!

[Unknown Target]

Me too. Robotech mod woes....

You know, it's really just plain sad that on an ostensibly modding-based forum nobody can be arsed to show their mods anymore, if they have any. I give up. Screw this- go home, kids. Someone lock this thread before it turns to cream cheese porn or something, because I can tell right now nobody's gonna post ****.

bah, there you go, just to make you happy ( see, I'm not such a bad guy after all )

(sorry it's an old pic, but I'm away from home, can't find a more up to date pic )

Pissy, aren't we? Here are mine (all of same model):

could make a nice angel scout if you give it two engines.

[Unknown Target]

Thnx. It has 3
BTW, how do you make your models? Do you edit pre-made basics, or do you use the vertex/face technique (making 3 vertices, then joining them with a face)?

huh? depends, sometimes I start from a cube, sometimes I extrude a spline, sometimes I even build a shape with splines and apply a surface modifier. And no, I haven't built a model vertex after vertex, poly after poly, since when I have stopped using 3ds3. strange question.

[Unknown Target]

Oh. Uhhhh:D The entire body of that model and some of the enginge shield (the back part) was built by hand

its not so much understanding as getting it right.  Photoreal scenes? one thing.  Photoreal character animation and IK rigs?  another thing.

it's just a matter of how much time you spend on it. anyway, I have yet to see someone making photoreal movements with CS. If you want that, you go with motion capture.
