sorry for the slow responses, my 3d 'modeling' was put on backburner to work on divorce and other matters.
she still sits on my hard drive, i will be picking her up soon, right now my mind is flowing with the star trek wip i have going on, but that is a good thing.
because as my modeling block for startrek hits SG stuff kicks in....maybe i can do abit more for you all this up coming weekend
^ umm i thought about it, cause ill be redesigning the top deck guns near the bridge, not the gauss.
but i dont want to many guns (even though this has alot) because its mainly used as a shield defense...platform.
the side pylons on this ship are shield generators along with the bottom 'circle bubble' things.
my vision for a scene that this would be engaged in, would be coming out of hyperspace, going to max shield that even drains from the weapons, going in a side pattern between a hive and our ships, while doing this, countless heavy fighters coming out to attack (250+-) and then using its shield to draw weapons fire.
thats not to say that it cant fire off heavy weapons, but another thing, because this is a carrier group the main weapons holder is going to be this boy
its main offense is going to be able to field a stupidly large amount of heavy fighter craft that i designed for this ship....reseen in this pic
and of course the 4 deadalus...so weapons on this thing is 3rd if not 4th down the list kinda
well playing with a blaster effect for the top guns, im probably changing the gun design i have one out on paper that i really like.
anyhow here is a test image of the blaster effect, there is no special lights or anything, in fact there is only one 'hemi' light in the scene, and no texture effects either, let me know what you think
dear lord almost a full YEAR since i have updated or posted on this wip, and for good reason damn job lol
at any rate, as i attempted to restart this wip i just couldnt keep going with what i have done with it so far...why?
There is so many different techniques used to make this thing, that i currently feel, that continueing it in its current form wouldnt do it justice nor trying to fix techniques, so what is there to do? Redesign i say, redesign...Its already happened once although that was due to a HDD failure and loss of saves...this time of course is at my discretion. I will be using the main model though as my outline, and will be importing many things that i feel i did the right way, into my new mesh which i hope in turn, makes it faster for me to remodel this thing. As well the way i had all my objects and groups seperated was a utter mess i dont know how i did it lol . And a utter mess for texturing...
the only draw back i have is that i am currently helping with a video game mod for content creation, so it wont be as fast as i would hope myself (then again it might be faster than the wip time frame currently...)
hmmm pictures not loading, ill update those pics soon...
lol yea i know, sadly i would visit this thread every so often about once a month and just feel sad that i didnt have time to work on it...
hopefully the newer version will be liked just as much, its going to have 90% of the same shape, still dont know whay my pics are acting funny hopefully a update pic by tonight...and just for info, that gun on this page will be used, i absolutely love its shape...

well looks like i got that pic, it was saving it without the .jpg extension, that was missing somehow. i changed some major structures in the back. and made it more uniform as the original had this big 'hole' in the rear area and i didnt like that. This is obviously just a block diagram, but its in that stage if im gonna change it, it better be now and not regret it later lol...
the two are side by side for comparison sakes between old and new. I feel the new design makes it feel more streamlined, like its main hull is trying to protray.
and yes the pyramid shape is a tribute to the SGU pyramid tower on destiny as well as showing some g'auld scheming as well. The other idea i had felt much to SW feel. The new rear wings are going to be more incorporative of Asgard Drive style instead of earths round style i previously had.

Good Luck on your Divorce!

glad to see ur still around though
here some new pics to hold you guys over, hoping to get this one done soon.
i feel my skills have progressed alot with this ship from start to finish and i can tell my progress in wire frames or how certain things were done.
cheers
Are you planning on putting guns beneath the Ship just in case the ship is attacked from the bottom.
:thumb::thumb:
Good luck with the divorce. Hope everything works out for you!

How many polys is that fighter?
i coined it the f-322 Valkyrie, and the backstory was posted on page 27 just in cased ya missed it
another update will be soon, im working to fully finish the plating on the rear (thats the spot thats most undone right now).
heres a idea i was throwing around to replace my 'old' energy cannon top and new one bottom
anyhow here is a test image of the blaster effect, there is no special lights or anything, in fact there is only one 'hemi' light in the scene, and no texture effects either, let me know what you think
let me know what ya think cc always welcome
oh yea anyone got a wraith ship i can fire this at i so dont want to model one...
at any rate, as i attempted to restart this wip i just couldnt keep going with what i have done with it so far...why?
