The technical term for this is 'Ninja Rocketships'.

her... I don't have much exemples of anime ships with large wings or tails you must be mistaking with Babylon5

Most of the time anything Anime-like in space could be done in .2 seconds with a Lathe tool.

Nice ship.

Ohhhhh, so the Hecate is an anime ship!  Now I understand!

[Stryke 9]

No, the Hecate is something one of the :V: staffers' children made with scissors, construction paper, and lots of glue. And a rock, and a booger.

 I like that term

On a completely unrelated note, it would be really cool if someone made a mod where all of the freespace ships were animefied

On the other hand, it would be DA SHIZNIT geo-modded. You could carve through all those fins... :wink:

hahahah! torturing my least favorite ship by slowly cutting each of its appendages off with a subach

(ok...mebby not, but its still a nice thought)

Anime Techincal Design = Super-Stylized, over-sized, pointless protrustions from the oddest places at the oddest angles that results in some of the coolest, drop-dead gorgeous craft in known space.

Example:  The Albion from Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.  Why does a space craft need wings?  It doesn't need them even in the atmosphere(Minovsky vehicle flight system, it basically floats.).

Venom send me your brain so that I can extract the parts where your knowlege for modeling is and combine that parts with my own ^___^  
Beside that, Venom would you be so good to tex my one or does anybody has a good tex for it?

I think its just comes with hours of practace, i profre to sit down and sketch if i like somthing I makit. I only wish i could texture.

I couldn't have said it better ( well, yes I could: I'd have said it w/o the typos ):
I've been doing models for about 9 years now ( well, 7 years of complete crap to be honest, tho, but it gave me some experience anyway).texture is the same: you just have to decide that you will map your damn ship, you'll spend a week on it, then on the second model, you'll spend only acouple of days, and after that, you'll handle it well and it will come just like it comes when you model something. I still need to improve tho, I'm nowhere near as good as Bobboau or Dark, or even Aldo when it comes to making my own maps. But in 20 days I start my CGI formation, so things will improve hehehe

Yup.  Practice and (preferably) the right tools.

I've only really been modelling since I joined here (about 1 year now, methinks), and actually drawing maps for about 6-7 months methinks.... so it's not really as hard as you might think to pick it up.

Having the right tools helps, though - you wouldn't believe the difference having Max and Photoshop has made to my newest models.

[Gortef]

lars, it's a good model

as for venom....

You did talk about modeling the Arcadia... you really did it... it looks awesome... you bloody bastard, people like you make us others feel insignifigant

that's  my pb: I have a really crappy paint prog...
I have photoshop too, but I don't understand at all how it works. anyway, i'll learn it at my CGI formation along with illustrator hehe, so things should improve

Aki: thanx I'm really proud of my Arcadia, it was painful to build, but really rewarding

[Gortef]

I can imagine Nico

Now... take a pen and start drawing

Bastard. LIES! ALL LIES!

I struggled for weeks on the Nathaniel and came up with NOTHING useful. You have to have talent to be able to create and apply textures, one that I lack. Of course, I'm not half as good a modeller as you either. *heh*

lol using you own maps for this first time might help, you know where they're supposed to go

Toughest thing for me (and something I haven't figured out yet) is UV Mapping.
