im not sure SU can import autocad i only know it can export autocad...

anyway here is a rear shot of the turtle Superhigh rez of course

ok i just found the most wonderful program in existence.

it is called Makehuman.

it allows easy human design. then, you export it, and Blender can then import it as a wavefront file i believe.

if needed, Blender can then convert it to 3d max, or lightwave or whatever other file it can import and export about 15 different file types

(sketchup isn't one of them)

[Alx]

lol i have known about makehuman for a while actually and it can def be used togheter with Lightwave without going through blender first

but i find it a bit "cheaty" to use it as i want to learn how to make em frome scratch. but if you need a human model very quickly makehuman is great.

[thekillman]

I'm not familliar with the power of lightwave. so...

Greened.

[Saquist]

It looks interesting.

[immhotep]

Really great gate train, greened.

[Saquist]

More importantly it's a logical concept for Transporting large numbers of people through the gate.

[Cmdr. Setsuna F. Seyei]

concept 4 gate train station.

yes there are 2 gates
no they dont operate @ the same time
1 is only able to accept incoming wormholes
the other can only produce outbound wormholes

PS working on a dif concept will post when finished

PPS THIS DESIGN IS NOT FINAL. ITS JUST A CONCEPT!!!!

[Dr Lee]

Love the concept you have here.... using the Jumper as a Locomotive is brilliant....

[Cmdr. Setsuna F. Seyei]

if you look closely the caboose is a supplemental engine
(extra power required to haul 4 50 ft cars)

Lunar Class

When the Titan Contest hit the pockets books I had given thoughts to it but unfortuantly I didn't hear in enough time...I would have given the Enigma to the project...but I like the Enigma as Enigma.

Lunar Class was the design I started for the Luna Class TITAN.

I wanted to give less emphasis on weapons an more emphasis on the sensor array and scientific portions. As a result the phasers have been pushed to the edges of the ship for optimum arc coverage and limiting the total amount of phasers to the ship and dedicating more the sensor to the ships surface area. My objective was to give a triangulating sensor coverage for each part of the ship that would be so sensitivity that it could detect (within a short range) cloaked ships.

It never made it into 3D but I have many pencil drawings and this CAD 2D drawing in orthographic parallel projection.

The D'Visiddix (Predator) Class War Bird.

This mighty ship measures 3,121 meters long.
It is Mobile Shipyard created and designed by the Tal Shiar equipped with a phase cloak that opperates to keep all of it's constructions hidden from all detection.

The D'Visiddix was the first ship I designed all in AutoCAD.
The Middle Wing or Center Wing Housed the Ship Yard. I never got around to completing this design. (either)
