So, It's been a while since i posted anything in here...So here i go.
Crew of ten or so... Six missiles.... Eight Rail guns..... single Asgard Beam weapon that operates at around half the strength of the weapons on the DSC-304....Can't remember the dimensions, but it's tiny compared to the DSC-304. Originally called 'Minnow-Class', the ship has been re-named to 'piranha-Class'
Like the Piranha-Class the gunboat is a tiny ship. Crew of seven, the Gunboat is equipped with a number if Missiles (Can't remember how many i designed this to carry :rolleyes:) internally.... and three forward fixed Gatling-cannons under each side pod.
Hey guys. I'm back for a visit. Just a quick peek to see what's going on.
I don't really model anymore. For several reasons really. The loss of not one but two series, the direction the show was going and especially it's leadership, not to mention my main computer finally dying a painful death from being over worked. Pile on the loss of my job, and debilitating arthritis where I had previously broken my back, has left me both unable to afford a replacement computer and unable to be vertical for the long hours required to tackle such tasks. And, since I have to be laying down for most of the time now, and all I have left is my laptop, I've gotten into a certain video game that is incredibly addictive.
But I am very glad and somewhat surprised that the thread has taken on a life of it's own and continues on without me. A lot has happened in the time I've been away, not the least of which is the death of my mother and several friends I went to high school with. Perhaps when/if things improve I will be able to make my return. Needless to say, I wish you all well and keep the dream alive. Take care all.
I've stumbled upon this topic and couldn't leave without giving it a proper read.
It's too big to read everything but I really liked some of the concepts.
A while ago I've started a model (one of my first 3DS models, i'm a noob at this) the concept was simple:
* All purpose spaceship
* Ancient inspired design
* Early stages of Ancient civilization
* Several similar ships could join together for long voyages and exploration like a small city
* central ship would gather the others (diferent design)
* Ships capable of "spliting" into several sections to maximize exploration and research
* Heavy Hulls for rentry and dangerous zones
It's still very rude and needs alot of work but I had to start somehere, since my inspiration is stargate - ancient designs here is a small render of the early stages

It's really awfull compared to some of the work i've seem here but I'm learning ....
Here is the latest version of my gate. IAâam still working at the textures. I have problems with the Chevronmaterial... maybee you can help me?!
I can't help except to say there is a part of the gate you haven't modelled yet. It's a ring outside of the upper shoulders. I have reference images of the SGC and SGA gates(As well as the "submerged in water" gate from the ep with the virus), from the last time i was on set(The "submerged" gate was only about a third of a gate, and the images i have are of it under construction).
I can PM them to you if you like.
And on a tangent, i DO NOT GET e-mail notifications for this site anymore...
I don't get PM notices OR thread notices.
So, maybe best to e-mail me at my address below if you want those images.

Can you make a "present day" earth ship that is build to go to earth and atlantis to run suplys, and send people there. I'd love it if you could make it look like the 304asgard ships so like real curved and maybe the "neck" of the 304 ship. The ship will be able to hold its own if needed with new asgard wepions (plasma beam wepions)

^ theres quite a few ships like that on the forum (ie: the Daedalus design with Asgard bits on them), just don't ask me where because i can't remeber.
Just wondering, since you haven't stated it in your post, what will you be using the model for?
I'll add the look of the ship over another ship ...
What do you mean "I'll add the look of the ship over another ship"?
if your re modeling/texturing SOMEONE ELSE'S model you need, need, NEED to get the original mesh builders permission first, as a general courtesy to the time they've put into building, texturing and uploading that mesh.
ie: you wouldn't want someone to come along with a huge digger and tear up your back gardern "...because they want too". Again, general courtesy :thumb:
if they say no, you could always build your own.
BTW: whats AC3D like as a program? never heard of it before.

Is this the largest thread on here?
There's some great work on this thread.
Small update.
No posts in a year? I'd say it's dead for now.
As this is the second time that this has happened, and as has been pointed out there have been no new posts in a year, I'm closing the thread.
if the author / interested parties want it re-opening, contact a moderator.
