Original Starship Design Thread

i like it will reminds me of halo meets starwars.

[webxro]

it's good , it has a good principle , you just need to improve it a little , and if you add some camouflage texture , it will be perfect

... I haven't even finished modelling yet... hence test...

Thanks Merlin

@E442: That looks very cool. I like the mechanism you're using at the back though I supposed aesthetically the longer thrusters in the middle might have matched better. Watching this makes me sad though. I tried rendering a short panning scene on my pc at home and it took the better part of 20 min just to do one frame.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you add on the extras.

Started on the 3rd part of my short animation.

So far the base for the explosion is done now I just need to add in some secondary effects.

Guess what...

Update

Spoiler:

I atempted a scene before this, but the animation software I'm using is rather silly when it comes to moving entire objects. So these will have to do until I can find a better thing.

Woop! Explosions! You've made me very happy teenager

In 3DS max I use dummy objects to ease moving entire objects during animations. Maybe your software has something similar built in? Just google it about



RJB, Nice effects! Just put a little speed to next one.

if it doesn't has that , you could try importing it in blender

long time no post.... an update and a new design....

Update- Getting the Enyalius ready for a Animation by sprucing up the read hanger and adding a Bridge that, while only 80% complete, is suitable to be included.

Image below includes a look at the bridge and external renders of the ship with the scene lights on and off to show off the ship lighting...



-----------------------

the new design is yet another single seat fighter... i wanna get one of these done right... the drooping wings is a deliberate hint to the F-302....

No clue atm about the stats bar it being a single pilot fighter

A very creative idea.

thanks saquist

odd ship..

I like odd, odd is fun. execpt when trying to render then i doubt the fun a bit, but only by a bit.

Another update, while looking at my orginal sketch wish i had detailed the cannon part, going blind now just guessing what should be where.

at the moment the full shape of the crucible

Spoiler:

another view of the ship.

Spoiler:

the upper tower

Spoiler:

the lower cannon

Spoiler:

any advice and critic would be welcome.

[lordofseas]

Nice idea, but it may be a bit too thin, if you know what I mean.

[the-alguroan]

funny how you say that considering the original length in my head, though i do get what your saying. the size itself is suppose to be thin but i may do more concept designs for the lower cannon area, might go for an Egyptian cross like bottom . the tower on top never surmised the purpose of the area, maybe the command area around the tip.
