When you do the full room, don't forget to do an image of Khavet Viish Ni'an on the wall-TV. I want to see how you render a Vasudan with Groucho glasses. :D

He obviously bought the full box set...why the hell would a box with "headz" be on top of the sink unit?

I need a vasudan first.  Or more correctly, I need the V concept work for a vasudan so I can model one that can be animated realistically.

Which will probabyl require alot of facial reworking from Volitions' models but anyway...i got a BBQ with lots of people with poor musical taste to look after :(

I'll post up some more stuff as and when my tired old computer throws it out.

Make all the stuff in the window blurry, make everything darker and have the main lighting coming from the window so it's easy to see that the window stuff isn't just a painting.

Those chairs look too unstable.


It's good as a room, but not as a briefing room. Briefing rooms need to be either dark and gloomy or vast and awe inspiring.

KMN - Very nice.

The lights need a little bit of work plus as anon said, the chair design is a little unorthodox.

Theres also a weird shadow map/sampling thing going on with the shadow cast by that plant.

IMO it looks more like a dining room ? ;)

Seeing those renders makes me so jealous because I don't have the money to get something like Lightwave or softimageXSI.  Not like I have any rendering skillz anyways. :(

Erm, anyways, I knocked up a very crappy sketch of the Vindicator.  I tried to meld the look of that TSI cruiser with the Excalibur, and the result was...eh, well, see for yourself:


I'm meddling with a concept of the Qaiarkhet now.  Kinda looks like a vasudany Taiidan heavy cruiser.

Vega, you're completely obsessed with that ship, aren't you? :p

An Irae looks *nothing* like a Primus.

From the bit of description which has been given it has:
3 forward meson cannons with an arrangement like-
- *
-* *
(note: ignore the '-')

A bridge above the top meson cannon, and the reactor cores in the mid-ship section are meson reactors with anti-matter reactors to power the reaction, then the vessel has meson engines.

I also remember asking about what it looked like, and I compared it to Machina Terra's Darkness corvette. From what I know, it looks sorta like the Darkness from the side, except more streamlined, and proportionally longer and wider. And of course, it's 9 kilometers long.

Plus, of course, it has the spinal mesons.

Here's something I drew freehand. It's a rather oddly-shaped shipyard in Kalvax, near the planet of Inrolut, and it's quite large.

Copy and paste the URL if the link itself doesn't work. And give it time to load.
http://www.geocities.com/kalnnas/Inrolut.jpg

Tell me what you think. I'm hoping that it could become a render at some point. :D

At least, as long as Geocities manages to actually show the pic...


Notes:

That freighter in the top right is not of Obirian make. It's carrying 2 daisy-chained [/i]Cargo-B[/i]'s.

The oddly shaped thing just to the right of the planet is Telkai, way off in the distance.

The ship being built at the dock, which is right in view, is an Oracle-class AWACS. Back and to the left a bit is an incomplete Icarus light dropship.

The unfinished Kronus in the corner should really be about twice as big as it is, but I'm too lazy to redraw it.

The shipyard itself is nowhere near as detailed as it should be, but meh, as I said, I'm lazy.

Ennisar (the moon) looks very crappy, but this is because I suck at drawing moons.

These are all more renders of the obirian pilots' quarters'  I ditched the dark look because it seemed a little depressing.

UPL lance class fighter, latest version.  Still doesn't look good, but what the hell...it was a waste of time and meant i could get away from my neices for 5 minutes :p

Another render of the havok....but ain't it nice?

That room looks a little big for pilots quartors, space is a premium in ships.

Yeah. I imagine Oberlin's room as being much, much smaller. Like, college dorm room sized.

I'll draw something and scan it to show what I think it should look like.
