    More work on the bow ramscoop projector.

    Mirrored the bow ramscoop, and added the fusion drive unit.

    I'm late to this party, but I'm enjoying what you're producing.. I say enjoying, when I mean a mixture of envy and stuff....
  • rojrenrojren2292 Louisville, Kentucky USAPosts: 1,968Member
    It's a party? Here I was thinking it was more like a wake around here.

    "Envy"? That's a new (and much appreciated) one. Thank you.

    I need to stop with the long, thin ships. It's hard to get good views of them.

    Okay, "I just woke up" how's that? :)

    For your long thin ships, all you need to do is the A word... No, I meant Animation... Simple flyby with the camera following/panning... I say that assuming these stills take less than three weeks to render...
  • rojrenrojren2292 Louisville, Kentucky USAPosts: 1,968Member
    Okay, I'll give that a shot.

    AutoCAD seems to have improved on the flyby options a bit since I last looked. It would be nice to find some tips and tricks that actually explain things, though.

    Please excuse how crappy the video is.

    These are a joy to behold. What version of Autocad are you using? I'll research whether there is a middle format you can export to and I can do some slightly better renders, though nowhere near the quality you get on this site from.. you know.. the arty folk.


    edit: here, see if you can do this:

    Solution:
    The newly recommended format for exporting 3D data is FBX.
    The command to export to FBX is FBXEXPORT.
  • rojrenrojren2292 Louisville, Kentucky USAPosts: 1,968Member
    Thank you.

    I've been using AutoCAD 2019, which, oddly they've removed FBX import/export from. I still have 2018 (which has FBX import/export, but has other major bugs they never fixed) loaded.

    I don't think this one is going anywhere.

  • rojrenrojren2292 Louisville, Kentucky USAPosts: 1,968Member
    Not really a fan of this one. Done.

    Sorry, been a mad week. I was supposed to be uploading a Youtube video every day this week, instead I went out every night. Harrumph... I think the latest one is quirky (but then everything you have is!)

    If you're not happy as a capital ship, what about rescaling some of the detail and making it a work-bee or shuttle for some similarish ships in your fleets?

    Worked on the drive and a bit of the habitat.

    build1122-thumb.jpg
  • rojrenrojren2292 Louisville, Kentucky USAPosts: 1,968Member
    Done.

    Maybe I should have called this "Cnidaria" or something...

    This one's another odd, asymmetrical one.

    I don't like the spokes, so they're going to go.

    Added banks of windows and other things.

    build1203x-thumb.jpg
  • rojrenrojren2292 Louisville, Kentucky USAPosts: 1,968Member
    Done. That's about 150 ships/stations/whatevers over the past five years. I think I'll take a break.

    A couple of months back I fiddled around with the flyby export options in AutoCAD. (I managed to find a software bug that the good people at Autodesk are still puzzling over.) Anyway, I managed to edit some snippets of video together.

    I like it. That long spindly design has a good 2001 vibe to it as it flies past.
  • rojrenrojren2292 Louisville, Kentucky USAPosts: 1,968Member
    Thanks, bosun. I tried another ship today. It was determined to act up. Weird flickerings and the sound was acting up.

    Another circular one. Bad planning. Well,it would be if any of this were planned.

    Done.

    Uh, never mind. I just noticed the geometry was corrupt.

    Maybe now.
