Original Starship Design Thread

[Experiment 442]

I'll give you a hand on that one.

Spoiler:

RJB, no offense the port looks really cool and all, but why do the puddle jumpers need another port besides Atlantis?

you know the whole ancient civilization didnt live on antlantis right ther are bound to be more then one space port and we already know there was more then one antlantis so why couldnt there be more spaceports or w/e

[Daryl Froggy]

I'm running on the assumption that the ancients had more than one planet.

Atlantis is fine for servicing the planet it is on but other colonies would need there own space / air ports.

Alright I guess we can safely assume that, though we have seen very little evidence of their having a wider society in Pegasus.

Didn't you have any comments on my ship model? Though it was rough.

The Mark 7 looks kewl ALX.

304 nr 10000000000 and 4.


naw just redoing it in modo just to prove to myself i have the skill required to use modo like this and i think the ironman build gave me the skills i needed.... (took me 8 months but now i can finally use a REAL 3d program)

here is what i have sofar..

[Saquist]

If I could do what you do....

[thekillman]

if i could create what i can imagine.... well the primary ingredient is a 10x better computer.

:-(

thanks

If I could do what you do....

i bet you could given 6 months of free time
thanks for the compliment tho


ok update on the modo 304.

[thekillman]

the only shame ALX is that you jump so fast from model to model. would love to see some effects.

[Alx]

effects? join LS-A or SFM then as ive posted alot on both or check out dark frontier in the FF section.
also by effects you specificly mean?

also why does almost everyone feel the need to have my name in capital letters?

[Coco Pops]

I have a question for all the peopple that design using google sketchup.....

Do you just open the program as normal and do your models or do you actually do them to scale?

Also for large ships should you do that in sections? i ask because I tried to design a spaceship but started with a flat rectangle 85meters wide and 150meters long but found that size hard to work with once I had pushed it up into a 3D shape.

build first scale later. and imo scale isnt that important as long as it looks right.

and yes components sections and parts wil def make sketchup easier to work with

[Experiment 442]

also layers. Its makes it full of cakey goodness.

I have never tried that. How do you scale the model after building it?
