no offence, but wouldn't that just be your standard 302 with a gatling gun/big a$$ cannon at the front? :eek:
A A-10 refitted for space flight since they are bigger than a F-302 and more agile. My brother in law flown them for the Air Force during Operation Iraqi Freedom. What I can tell you is, the A-10 got hit by a couple of RPG rounds and it still fly in Afghanistan Campaign.

I never like the F-302 you see.
Has an A-10 ever survived hits from goa'uld weapons, though?
And it's more agile than an F-302?
How do you know that for sure?(Did your Brother in law fly one too?:D)
Seriously, you cannot take an aircraft, tack on some modifications, and expect it to beat a SPACECRAFT, which was designed as such from the ground up.
It makes for a great mental excercise, of course!(Build a model with the mods, and there's no reason it cannot have a place in the SG universe depicted in this thread)
Bar.
good point sorry but i am on bar's side with this one, u could maybe use it for strategic bombing on the enemy but thats all i can think of. i am also looking for schematics of the Daedalus class's, i have searched for hours on the net and have had enough. so i wanted to see if any of u guys new where i could get them?
Right, i have now done as much as i am capable of with the Puddle Fighter.
The idea i had was that while no PF's survived the wraith war they plans were safetly secure in the Atlantis Database.
They were found and with the Asguard tech from Unending (Damn i like being able to freely talk about that episode) Earth now is able to create their own.
It's armed with slightly smaller sized Drones than a PJ but they still pack the same punch. It also has it's own DHD
The displacement map for the rock on the temple is switched off.
WOW! :eek!::eek!::eek!::eek!::eek!: I think I just wet myself. Holy sheeeeeeee-iiiitttttt! SGA-3d, do you EVER make a bad model? Just once, I'd like to see you make a piece of crap for a change. All you ever do is deliver fantastic models/scenes. Heck, even my own fantacies don't look that good.
LOL! Just teasing you!! Gotta rib you a little. That is really spectacular. Do you model for a living? And no I don't mean fashion/runway modeling. I could NEVER ever EVER do anything that good. My skills are soo noob.

I like it but I must admit I'm not entirely sure how much difference there is between this and the normal Puddle Jumper, aside from the points that you've mentioned, but speaking aesthetically.
Just checking to see if I can upload this VR file and that it works properly.
EDIT: Yup it worked! Hey guys, this is a test render of a quicktime VR scene I have been working on for Raynor. It is only at half resolution, and meant only as a test, but I think it came out decent considering. I am re-rendering it at full res and with a higher Anti Aliasing enabled. It's mainly just so that you can "take a look around" the scene, as a companion to the still images. The higher res renders take on average around 10 hours to complete. I'd love to do an actual animation of this scene, but at 10 hours per frame, I think that would be insane to say the least.
awesome work freek and scootes. Freek, I'd certainly never have the patience to render an animation with each frame taking anything like that long, hell I get uptight waiting for frames that take 10 minutes to render let alone 10 hours!
tadz the thing I like about your severus design is that it's definately a tau'ri design but without looking too much like either the prommie or the daedalus. Great work on the modelling so far scootes.
hehe I noticed an error when I rendered this the first time turns out that the top section wasnt placed high enough from the middel section so this is a render that was made after the problem was fixed
Thanks Scorp. I'll have another slew of updates coming, maybe today. Got a few things running right now. That higher res VR render is STILL going. It's been what, two days now? It's at 82% done, so it should finish later tonight. Hopefully. I did modify and update the fighter model as well. Made some changes and enhancements. Hopefully you all will like them.
Edit: Thought I'd throw this pic in just for kicks. It's my screen name in hieroglyphics. Found a site that does this, and I'm going to use it sometime to make textures for a Goa'uld based room. I may even use the site to re-texture my old "Ra's Tomb" scene I posted a long time ago. Of course I will need to re-color it, and make a bumb map for it. I know bump maps are not the best, but for it's intended purpose, I think it will suffice.
I also have have a few other sites for other things bookmarked:
1) a "Warning" label maker - look at the pic below
2.) fantacy name generator
Oh, just so you know before hand and don't find out the hard way like I did. If you try to save the cartouche pic, it only saves one symbol. So you have to save each symbol seperately or do a screen capture and then cut and paste into a image editing program.
thanks and btw: major updates to the Serpent, it now folds up to make more space on the ship. sorry it is really bad drawing but i will try to hand draw steps of how it works and changes tonight
Ok guys. The VR render finally finished sometime last night. I checked it out and it looks pretty good. The image quality is much better than the last one I put up. Take a look and tell me what you think.
the one on the left is the serpent when she is off the Severus's hanger and ready to attack. the one on the right is when she is on the Severus and folded up and the thing in the middle was a Go'uld design i made when i got bored BTW s this shows the sketch took about 5 minute that i am getting quicker at drawing with the same amount of skill put into it so i should be able to draw my station around earth very shortly:)

Thanks. Well to be honest, it's not really patience. It's called "start the render right before you go to sleep so it's mostly done when you wake up" and "it's good to have multiple computers so you can render it and still do other things". LOL!!! Trust me, I don't have that kind of patience either, that's why I have so many computers. Te he he.:devil:

Sweet work as always SGA. Will you be modelling the ancient weapon as well?
I don't model for a living, yet, considering I'm still at school and I don't do CG modelling either
The chances are, I will model the weapon too.
Just checking to see if I can upload this VR file and that it works properly.

This is one of the sites I have bookmarked, and the one I used for the Cartouche:
Make Your Own Cartouche
