Original Starship Design Thread

[ZakeD]

ZakeD your a genius
I love that idea, well done, realyl well done! and i think you might have just shown how we can animate battles/ships.

Would you be willing to do other scenes?

I was actually gonna ask if you wanted me too. So yeah, I would.

[immhotep]

Could you do say two thors, a columbia, the deadalus and my leviathon in a row up against a few hatak, with a speach bubble saying "Now its our turn "

i can provide gd images of the levithon or you can download its model from the warehouse ( just search leviathon/ Immhotep or theres a link floating about somewhere)

Yeah, I can do that here in a few. Did you want them exchanging fire..or just a kinda face off?

Would you do one with my Valor a a couple Nautals, and dagers in what ever scean you want.

[immhotep]

Zake, fire would be cool, a shield would be better, but anything is gd

I dunno if the shields would look that good with so many ships. Btw..how big is the Leviathon?

Edit: Mind if I leave out the Daedalus also? The model of it I have isn't textured very well.

Needle Shadow

Needle Shadows are single-seater craft similar in size and shape to a Wraith dart, except even thinner, with a very pointed nose, and much stubbier wings, and a human rather than organic design.

They posess the ability to instantaneously teleport from one location to another by opening a temporary space-time wormhole at the very tip of their pointed nose. This allows them to jump from one position to another in no time at all.

They are exceedingly fast (capable of acchieving hypersonic speeds in atmospheres) and agile, to augument their jumping ability.

They sheath themselves in a cloak of plasma that improves their aerodynamics, shields them from harmful electromagnetic radiation, cloaks them from primative radar systems, and reduces their visibility to the naked eye by a certain extent, reducing their outline to a shimmering shadow.

However, they possess no weapons, functioning mainly as a scout and for recon missions.

[immhotep]

the deadalus can be left out of downloaded from the warehouse, its up to you; the leviathon, its 800m long. at its widest point 478m, and at its heighest 220m; i think...

I like the idea above, but it does not sound very like stargate ship more like something bsg, may be it was the jumping bit that made it sound more like it.

Here some updates to my angel class ship

Here one of here weapons turrets.



A here showing of new design the nose of the craft.



Also two pictures which show the windows that I have put.



All just a other one showing the whole Craft, here you can see couple of minor changes I have made.



I do not know if that a bit to many windows and that I should decrease the amount, what do you guys think. Also some areas of the model needs to be smoothed out a bit, if I can figure out how to do it in Maya, with out the model going all funny. But far my best bit so far is the point defence turrets, I base my design around Arcturus cannon we saw in trinity, but it will have about 10 percent of it power, possible less.

I have also been working on a hive in Maya, but so far it just does not look right, and it could take quite a while before I any where finishing it, but eventually once the two crafts are completed, I am going to animate them to together into some kid of battle scene, with weapons and some shields, which if I get it right will only show up when the weapons hit them. Hopefully this should look quite good when I am finished, and if I do not get bored either.

knowles have you not thought about doing a hive ship or a cruiser, what program are you using, immhoteb theres a couple of daedalus' in su you can use

I am useing Maya 7.0, unfortantly you can not import google sketch files into Maya 7.0. I am currently looking to if I can somehow convert google sketch file into a file Maya can handle.
Yes as I have said I am currently working on a hive vessel but at moment I cannot get the shape to look right, I am going to have leave this project for the next week or so, so I can get on with my uni work.

As for useing a daedalus in a battle sequence, I will have to wait until I get time to creat one which I can use in Maya. But as I said I hoping someone have built a file converter for google sketch, and if someone has I will just down one of google warehouse. I will also have a look and see if maya 8.0 can handle the file type.

[rosstaylor]

it might be easier if you just designed the base of the wriath ship then worked from there

[ZakeD]

Spoiler:

Here's teh image Immhotep wanted. Okay..so it's not the best I've done..but it's alright. Damn photobucket and shrinking my stuff.

[knowles2]

That look pretty good zake. I guest I am lucky having my own internet site and all I just upload all my stuff onto that.

Nice picture.
