Original Starship Design Thread

[boberth2o]

The ships USAF Lazarus/Symphony, USAF Morpheus, and USAF Typhon on route to explore a new frontier in a new galaxy

Well, I actually had two light sources for this scene, one that is a light yellow and another that is a medium purple. The star cluster on the left hand side was actually a galaxy that I messed up is photoshop. I accidentally deleted it and had to make the cluster. For the darkness I was going for the effect that they are on a pit stop in the vast space between the galaxies.

I think I used the Mitchell Sharp Filter. It got the effect on the ships I wanted.

Oh, the Symphony is the second construction of the Lazarus class of battlecruiser.

Hi everyone I have not posted anything in a long while but now I am back.
I have been working on destroyer/frigate class ship lately, it is not ready yet.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Nice work lads! Lightning is a pain in the backside for everyone.. it just keeps kicking you in the face, if not, then your computer is trying to commit suicide. Fail is constant.



Anyhow, Tep, you asked about all the models. Well it took a while to pile them up. And still there are models that are on my other computer.

Spoiler:

There are countless of different weapon models and turrets. I have a habit of doing at least one new weapon per each new ship. So there are plenty. I might even pledge some for use by others in the next pack.

For more models go here

Have fun.

I see im not the only one to put external flight decks

[Finger13]

Those are all done in Sketchup and rendered in 3DS right?

That's quite impressive, because the modelling is quite good on them.

I like your designs, especially those in the 3rd picture.

Homeworld 2 Vagyr fregate?

It's a good concept. Keep working on it. I've tried to get around similar concept many times without much success.

Yep. All made in Sketchup and rendered in 3Dmax

Well, since we were speaking about open flight decks I just remembered that I had made a ship that had on one it, I re-present the USAF Thrones.

Ahh, I like the consistency of your ships. Never really understood the point in having an open flight deck in space, but alas, it looks cool haha.
