How about this

Spoiler:

Too advanced?

Dang, Killman, this is a deal right here

PS: I want lasers on this thing.

These?

Spoiler:

Sorry about the shadows. The file is 140km away atm and I feel too lazy to remake it here. Raytraced shadows would fix the thing right away.

Nah, turreted, anti-fighter, invisible lasers.

Hey folks you've probably been asked this alot but there's like 300 pages or something stupid to sift through. Anyway what design program should I use to make ship models like yours. I got a few in my head but paint doesn't do them justice.

[thekillman]

lol.


anyway, try sketchup

just seach via google, and you download it free. for rendering, download the Podium Plugin.

[Semmer]

Nah, turreted, anti-fighter, invisible lasers.

Hmm.. It could have those too.

[Crazy Tom]

Orbit...........that's fraking fantastic!

A bit futuristic, but still plausible, and the model is good to.

Check out this design, tell me what you think:

what program did u use to make ur model and was it hard to use the program???

[titan_hq]

@Dpil236, it looks like that ship was made in Google Sketchup, and no, it's not too hard to use if your new to 3d modeling.

Does anyone know where I can find othos views of the F/A-37A Talon from the movie Stealth. Or a model so I can make my own othos. This would be really helpful for (one of) my current Stargate projects.

Yes, I used Google Sketchup. Not difficult to use. Takes time to learn its in's and out's and how its many tools can help make a model.

That was an awesome movie

just google it, and brouse around, you can find loads.

Thanks for the reply, there is no orthos on google. But I did find a download for FSX. So I tricked my FS2004 into thinking it was a Russian SU-35 and took screenshots of it from different angles.

I know there aren't any orthos, http://www.phpbbplanet.com/shipyard/...forum=shipyard

hope it helps.

lol, i've just been owned. Yeah, that'll be a great help. Thanks mate.
