Yes! I finally made a model. Ok, so I didn't exactly do it from scratch, and ended up cheating and instead making it from the prefabricated parts from DoGA CGA,but hey, better than nothing I say :D

I've dubbed her the Triest Class Battleship











Any comments? :D

to me the first pic,  resembles a tank or one of those "invasion" boats used in ww2. Maybe you should take some guns away and make it a troop transport or boarding team ship.

Well it looks way better than my first model that im currently working on.

  • huh?.. Who?.. hey you kids, git off me lawn!
looks more like a carrier or a defensive platform with that flat area in the middle, very nice job, though.

Reminds me of the S:AAB carriers with a bunch more guns put on it :D

I keep saying that I should try out DoGA CGA :D

Thanks :D

The area at the back is actually a space for fighters/bombers to launch (hence hte lack of guns there). I'm actually trying to find a way to export it to .cob or something, so I can get into freespace perhaps (once I figure out the evil mapping!). Can lithunwrap convert .pfw files?

I did some ships is Doga as well, but I can't just get screenies of them, because, well, I am an idiot. Print Screen doesn't work either.

Just wanted to warn you, when you put it in TS, you find that the black is just painted on the missile turrets and some of the gun turrets. But, the model looks good and well put together.:yes:

It's not supposed to look FS-y, is it? :)

It definitly looks SAAB inspired. :)

A suggestion : You've added so much detail, why did you make such low-poly thrusters-cones? You should really redo the engine part. I suggest giving him on each side two engines (such a type which starts bigger and then gets smaller at the exhaust, thats just a suggestion though) Besides that, really not bad for a "first" model. :yes:

well....er....so it does. I always think of boats when it comes to spaceships, dunno why :nervous:

I'll see if i can do something about those engines, but since the parts available are pretty limited, it'll be somewhat tough. More updates when I get back from home :D

Boxy, colorblind, and horrible firing arcs. Definitely a Terran ship. Good model though. Needs more detail in the stern. An assault carrier, yes? (I do realise it's not textured yet=P)

yup. Meant for siege and bombardments operations against heavy enemy installations, with space for fighters and/or bombers towards the rear.

Well, looks like DOGA automatically UV maps it's parts, meaning that i dont have the face the evilness of lithunwrap! :D

That, and I upgraded to DOGA L3, which has the option of putting textures on it. Here's a few WIP shots, but take note that it's in no way complete:

I like it, but I think you're going to need to work with the UV-ing manually to get a good result.
