Original Starship Design Thread

I love the look of the new ship Extrenix.

Excellent work.

Absolutely outstanding, I'm at a loss for words here.

Semmer,

I don't think they would stack tanks that close together. If they hit some sort of turbulence and they move the tanks smash each other.

Extrenix,

Looking pretty sweet.

so is there any way to export sketchup to lightwave ??? Ive been looking for a way but no success so far.

I am guesting you use the free version of sketchup, I cannot rember but cannot you export obj from sketup. Through I am not sure if you can import obj files into Lightwave.

Here some render pictures of the Valiant.

An here a little animation film I created for my uni work. Nothing to do with the above model. Every was model by me except the oil rig, water and sky. The animation split 50/50 with my partner. And the music was acquired from the net.

none of the attachments worked.

what program did you use for the animation. It looked pretty simple for starters.

I did think of that. To my understanding, inertial dampeners should do the trick? I'm not so sure if anti-gravity drive, which grabs on the gravitational field of the planet itself, has any problems coping with turbulence.


Eternix, looking damn good! Leviathon, I see?

Well you seen when someone shoots at the ship enough, even with the shields up it shakes, knocking people out of their seats.

, Which shouldn't be happening, but happens only for cinematic effect. Im not sure if such problem has to be taken seriously. Surely the floor can have clamps for the tanks to keep them steady.

Blender, and I had like week learn it in, and hated every last second of it, that program is so counter intuitive.

Summer time through probably gonna redo the entire lot.

Tnx for the comments guys.

I never use free stuff. I will have to try the Su -> Blender -> LW method
