Casper that is one fine looking -304. Will you be doing a 302? or Goa'uld ships in the future? ..... Also is it top the same scale as the Prommie you've shown on here?
As you all noted the butt of my ship was a bit blunt... So i've done this
Finished the engine casings and i've beefed up the Drive Pod engines as well.
Also i've been working on the inside of the Bridge....
The compartment the camera is in (In the last picture) will be the Sleeping Quarters, the next one along will be the living area with the main bridge section at the front.
I've also done a bit of work to the interior of the cargo bay
cool and yer i do want a model of any thing that is a stargate design btw i designed a new ship last night very small heavy support ship but is also extremly monuvable and lives in the severus's right hanger i will get the picz up asap when i go to my friends house to scan it
sounds cool. I was thinking about a new fighter design, but I'm not sure exactly what it would be yet, and my drawing skills aren't that good. I'm also nit sre if it would be an F-306 or F-302-a or something as I don't know how the naming system works for USAF on similar designs but different
If it goes anything like I think it would an A could likely be an upgraded version of the original, so it would depend how close to an F302 it is to be a new design or not.
Sorry guys if I've been missing in action lately. I have two things going on right now.
1.) I was in a low stakes poker tournament and won around $35,490 in 2 days. And yes I am going back for more later on.
2.) I am currently sick as a dog. don't ask, you don't even want to know. Let's just say this is the worst I've felt, outside of my car accident, in the last 10 years and I'd rather be dealing with a weekend binge drinking hangover than being THIS sick. Give me about a week to get back to normal. Whatever normal is for me. Don't even think about what you thought about saying, cause I already know what you were thinking. I am normal darnit! :flippy:
Well it was low stakes. The blinds were only $5 and 10$. It was just a no limit tourney and I played about 16 hours straight each day. It just all adds up fast. Hey, I'm $35K richer, high stakes low stakes, I'm not complaining.
Congrats on your first model. With doing models for mods, can't you do a higher poly version and "compress" it down later for use in a mod? I'm not familiar with doing models for mods, so I don't know. Just wondering because it would be nice to be able to build a sweet model in high poly for outside the game and then be able to just reduce the polys or "compress" it for mod use.
I started out low-poly because I knew that Freelancer didn't really like doing a lot of high-poly stuff on-screen at once. I didn't know about things like mesh reduction or optimization when I started, so I couldn't start with a high-poly mesh and still get it to where I thought it needed to be. Like I said, it's my first (and so far, only) model, so things are going to be a bit off and clunky. I did this model on (talk about ancient technology ) an AMD K6-2 400 w/128MB and a Diamond Stealth 550 32MB agp vid card. It's actually the 3rd version of the model. The first one had the wings backwards, and since I was way off, I figured it'd be easier to just start over than try to fix it, since I was still very unfamiliar with Milkshape at the time.
cjabates: thats one mighty, mighty, MIGHTY fine model. Looks dead cool, of a bit low poly. Seriously, bump up the poly's and make it detailed and all. I just love the cool shape and engines. Such an amazing design you've got there. Very unique. Keep at it.
Thanks for the compliment. I may go back and re-do this at some point, now that I've got some much more serious horsepower than what I did while making it (Athlon 64x2 3800+ 1GB, ATI x600 pro 256MB PCIe). If I could get decent reference shots, I think I could do much better now. I was working with screencaps from the DVD, and that thing is never really shown too well.
As for uniqueness, I was kinda forced into that, considering I needed one and nobody had made one (at least that was fessing up to it). Now I see it popping up in a few mods for other games and I'm not being credited for its use. :mad: Not that I mind it being used, I just want to be recognized for my hard work.
well sounds like some one is actually good at poker... or have you been cheating Freekzilla? I hope oyu get better thou.
hey all the Hammond got a nose job today and wants to show it off to yall so here it is... the latest Hammond update!! All C&C welcome!

also I am currently workin on some new bays (yet again) sorry I aint gonna show you guys yet.
Nice work scootes, the design is really coming along now.
I've been a bit absent from the 3d work over the past weeks, had lots of actual work to do (don't you just hate when real life takes over?). This is my latest creation. It is in fact version 2 (yes I love my versions, almost as much as my brackets!) of my original Yakami model. I've only just shown Raynor this design so I don't know whether he likes it yet or not but I think it's a lot better than my old Yakami design. My intention is to modify it and "Lan'tau'gard" it up to fit in with my own fleet and this will become my Al'kesh type ship. I thought what I might do is have different rollbar designs for the ship to serve different purposes, a bit like the Nebula class from Star Trek.
I've taken inspiration from various sources, the rollbar type structure on the top mainly from the Star Trek Reliant class ship, some aspects of the ship (mainly the underside) are from a Captain Scarlet design (I can't find any images of it but it's called the DT19 from the episode "Winged Assassin" if anybody knows/remembers it) and also a bit of the Star Trek Defiant class as well. Anyway, I talk too much so I'll shut up now...
yeah it's ok I hadn't forgotten. I just meant I was going to use this design for my bomber once I've finished this version. I know this is more like the steamrunner was in Star Trek Armada, powerful main weapons firing from further away, not always right in the middle of the action
hello i just downloaded Mozilla Firefox i highly recommend this program. atm i am making mistakes in my spelling and it is fixing it for me so i shouldn't have as much spelling mistakes it is also easier to navigate and quicker and i can also change the theme atm i have windows vista theme and my Mozilla Firefox looks like a windows vista internet browser just thought i would but it out there because it is going to help me a lot download site Download FirefoxAR with Google Toolbar
been using Firefox for a few years now, cant recommend it enough, superior to IE in pretty much every way imaginable. The only annoying thing about it is, as a web designer, I wish everybody used it to make my life easier not having to make sites work in both browsers!
yep, much better in my opinion than IE. I like the last IE edition but always used firefox at school (my dad wouldn't let me use it). I then got a laptop and constantly use FF now, it's much more user friendly than IE 7
btw scorpius I like the design of that ship, not sure exactly what I like about it but it just looks cool, especially the shape of the underside

I also beefed up the two main engines a bit.

I need to learn poker!:D
Hope you feel better soon Freek.
doesn't sound like low stakes
Thanks. I can use every bit of help getting better I can get. I just feel horrible.
