Original Starship Design Thread

Neatto RJB!!

Glad you like the WIP.

The base for your chair is looking great but in future images could you add some antialisasing to clean up the jagged edges of the render. It just makes the image look so much more crisper and lets us enjoy the model a lot more.

Here is the start of a new ship from me.

Fenrir Class Patrol Ship.
The Fenrir is just a little over 50m long and weapon layout is still a wip.

Enjoy.

Very cool design. When do will you have a spec sheet for this ship? Also I'm glad that someone, in my memory, that someone has made a patrol ship. I should make my own terrible design of a patrol ship as a counter to this... though I'm not too confident that mine could even match it.

Thank you and once I start working on the model again I'm going to start working out placement of weapons and other such things, by that point I'll have some specs to post.

The patrol ship idea came from one of Dr Lee's designs which inspired this ship, so some credit should go to him. As for your own ship, keep them coming since it's the only way you will ever become better and remember to push yourself since lot of great ideas can come from that.

Ok in lightwave layout you click your camera tab at the bottom to select your camera, now click on properties which should be right next to the camera button. This will open a new window with you camera settings. Around the middle of this new window is antialisasing with a drop down menu. Most of the time I just select class, enhanced medium or class, enhanced high. Now you can render as usual without the jagged edges around the model.

tell me about it, lol

[RJB]

I've been meaning to ask you about antialisasing for awhile now but I've just been so busy for the last two months that I just never got the opportunity. Well your on the right track now.

[RJB]

Ok another update, this time with some of the weapon systems in place.
