Original Starship Design Thread

[Crazy Tom]

Then you have some idea what it was like to deal with 1% of what Zake was like on a good day. and 0.0001% of what AJT was like. Yes it pushed people to do better, but it pushed me over the edge of serious anger for a good number of months while he belittled a huge chunk of what people did for 2.0.

Meh, he reminds me of boot camp DI on those movies. I really have to read 2.0 one of these days. Peopel like that are good for us, their like immuno boosters, tinY infections that strenthen the system as a whole.

I quite liked you last design Boberth.... not sure about the dip near the front o fhte 3-seater cockpit, but over all it looks good.

Yeah bob, you cant reject us lol we all like your stuff, want to see new angles to start with, and you got specs?

Oh and zake wasnt a virus, he was a plague.

Man you need to get a sense of humor. Thanks, I like the hades, try to make a clay rendering of the model so we can see all the details of the model.

Thanks Dr. Lee, I posted the drawing earlier this year sometime.

You mean me? Not really; I've been avoiding that so that it'll be open for any of the Fleets if it ends up being good enough. It's a Battleship or Dreadnought, it's around 875 meters long, and it has 90 missile tubes. (a lot, don't you think?) That's pretty much all I've set in stone.

Man you need to get a sense of humor.

I've been hearing that, maybe I should do something about it...

What exactly do you mean?

[boberth2o]

Well clay rendering is a feature on some rendering programs that sets ambient light and makes the model look kinda 'clay' like. The surfaces should appear nice, crisp, and you can see all of the edges and surfaces of the model. In Lightwave it's called 'radiosity', I don't know what you use but it might be a feature that will give your models the justice they diserve.

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

Hmm, well, I have Sketchup and Blender (though my .skp models don't convert to Blender well), and this is .skp, so unless anyone wants to convert it to .3ds for me then I'm stuck with either Sketchup exports or Podium renders. Neither of which have that "clay" thing. However, Blender does, I believe, have it.

[immhotep]

Their is a ruby plugin that does it in sketchup, best person to ask would be extrenix, or google, they both have decent advice for you

Ruby, hmm, must explore. . .

Hey bob remember this?

[boberth2o]

Hey bob remember this?

I do I do! I haven't seen that model in ages, it was one of the first models that I drew out, even before I started to model in 3D

[ManiacMike]

I was cleaning out my files and I found it and decided to finish it out.

Its fun
