it didn't, Starblazer is just the english name for the original series that comes from the manga (btw, the US versions seems to be modified... bah, usual US bad habit...)

I know that, the Japanese name was
"spacebattleship Yamato"

Come to think about it the Yamato out of starlancer doesn't come even close to this one

The voice of that Captian dude from the Simpsons popped into my head for some readon

this is a pic of yamato with wings for atmospheric flight.
actually there are 3 tv series of yamato (against gamilon and desslar/dessler/desslok the first, agains comet empire the second and the search of a new earth the third, and there are also 5 or 6 films... the first two related (but different) to the firts two series, the others are almost indipendent from the series.
there are also other variants of yamato with different crew created and films( i've nevere seen em) with theese ships
Matsumoto as i heard is actually creating a new yamato tv serie about 1000 years after the original one as i heard...

[Nico]

Bah, the Arcadia still ownz  

[Turnsky]

Some of those ships look vaguely like the modern day "Iowa" Class Battleships

[KARMA]

anyway your model is really...
huge!!

just two tips....
add some polys to the wooden area (expecially to the side windows that needs to be extruded) and improove wings textures... i mean.... the area of the wings you are pointing to in the first photo.....

wow the more i like at the photos the more i go crazy
its really a great thing...i can't wait to see it released

Turnsky, in the show, the Yamato is THE Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato, raised from the ocean floor and made into a spacecraft.   She looks like an old battleship because she IS an old battleship.

I didn't know that, the series wasn't screened all that often in australia particularly in Tas

[Warlock]

The new show taking place 1000 years after the old Yamoto is Great Yamoto,..she's been at the bottom of the Artic ocean the whole time...has become partially sencient (sp?),..grown about 100,000 tons (from 75,000 tons to 174,000 tons) added I think 4 shock cannons,..made the wave motion gun even MORE powerful, and added two more wave motion engines.


And IF I can get these damned Yamoto 2 LWO to work in ts4.2 of 3ds max r3 I'll slap up a pic of her.

Might just whip out one from 3dXplorer just as a reference.

[Warlock]

Screw it the merged file from 3dx won't open in either,...and I'm not starting object by object just yet   So here's a few quickies from 3dx

ACK! Now I know why TS4.2 doesn't like that Yamoto 2 model.....once fully assembled...it's over 800,000 polys! Sweet geeeeeeezus the rendering is like a 500 year old woman crossing the street and trying to be slow about it!

And here I thought the new 800 mHZ P III and the 256 ECC ram would speed ts up a little  lol

[Turnsky]

Try it in Gmax and see what happens might work or might not who knows. looks great though, tone down the polys and convert it into a freespace 2 model

800,000 polys

4 km long, just like the actual ship. Otherwise, yes, but no:
the main hull already uses more than 2100 polys dude! To have so many details, I had to make consessions, and well, general shape is more important.
Same thing for the maps: as it is, it uses 25 maps ( 22 for the main lod). If I add any more stuff, the FS2 engine just won't be able to handle it.
