Mmkay after finding the URL listed in the link, and editing it, i saw the pics

or for an easier solution, here is the link.


The Irae drawing is rather ominous, but I'm not sure that's anything like what it's supposed to look like.

Remember, Ace and I agreed that it should look sort of like Machina Terra's Darkness corvette, but wider, and with meson beams under the chin. (and probably without that sticky-outy thing on the left)

I actually imagine it as being more like the SFr Asmodeus... wide but still kinda tall and long... and still Darkness-ish

Still, those drawings are l33t (albeit upside-down). :D


I think the pseudo-Irae (or whatever the pointy one is) could be turned into another eerie-looking superdread (possibly one of Moddy's, it does look sorta Vasudanish).

like the Imperis Battleships thing, but i prefer my Carrier design. TSA Carriers have no actual flight deck, its just tunnel systems to the different places. The Fighters are launched like a slug out a railcannon too :).

Well that carrier looks *exactly* like the Banishment class destroyer ;)

The Irae looks like an Aurigae, except the front section under the bridge you have there has the three meson cannons. Also the engine assembly is sort of like the Golgotha's in BWO.

It appears to have a glitch within the first second... where the top of the ship lightens and just doesn't align with the bottom half...

I hope its not just mine... I would give you a frame # but Windows Media Sucker doesn't allow you to see frame #s :p

yep, the .TGA was stuffed and I didn't have time to re-render the frame but it gives you a general idea of the ship, all the same.

I have been thinking of the RT ships, i know you wont have even thought of modling any yet but i think they should be flat like the b2 bomber (i think thats the one, its huge and flat), with stuff poking out the front like ... i dunno pokey things, i have this image in my head but i cant explain it =[

I did some re-proportioning and mesh editing on the Nike. It's still ridiculously low-polied (~100), but the shape I'm going for is starting to come out. BTW, I rendered this without smoothing on so you can get a look at the mesh itself.

I believe this topic needs a good bumping, so...

btw, sooner or later I'll have a fresh sketch made available...possibly by the end of next week (depending on my workload)...

EDIT:  just now noticed that the bump smilie is gone...

You want low-poly, look at some of the Obirian ships. Hell, if I had a clue as to how to use TS4, I'd make meshes of the Scutum, Alastor, and Paladin myself!

Yes, those designs are meant to be ridiculously low poly. It has something to do with the advanced ceramics the Obirians use in their armor.

And finally, please no comments about the name I chose for the Scutum. It means "shield" in Latin.

OK, here is the Aegir-class bomber, the Odin-class Dreadnought, and the Nike-class battlecruiser:

I like the basic design of these things. All we need is some increased curviness and it would look great. :):yes:

Only a quick half hour jobbi. It's Efre station of the Order of Seth. Not very imaginative but hey, this is my first NW render.

I don't play NW, and I haven't looked through the whole topic, but the Riven's newest render is awesome! :eek2::eek2::eek2::yes:
