3d models of subspace ships?

[Diwa]

Maybe it's just me. But I thought the name of the thread was '3d models of subspace ships?'

 

 

It's 3D, so it's on topic

Yes, it may be 3D, but, what it isn't, it isn't a subspace ship... so it isn't on topic.

 

 

 

Unless, it only bothers me, and everybody else doesn't mind including the other stuff also...?

Well, maybe this is more on topic than a ball of metal strings:

And yes, it is the latest one.

Looks great, but the cockpit still needs work... waiting for release (looks promissing)

The first 3 seconds that played before the first lag-pause seemed great.

Waiting for entire video to load now.

TOP GUN LOLZ

 

When the first notes of the tune came in, I came too.

Back to the models, diwa I think maybe that there should be air intakes behind the cockpit of the warbird. It would look more slick, and it would kinda make it look more stable. As for the nightwasp, white? Hmmm I say a dark orange or dark grey.

The Nightwasp in my sig is white only because when I scetched it, it was on white paper It'll be dark like the original if I ever get around to actually making it.

 

I wanted to do some sort of air intakes where the 'pod' things are, but I didn't know how when I started Maybe on the 'WarBird mk.II'... yeah right

Maybe like an Indy Car style intake directly behind the cockpit... LOL.

 

 

 

@MillenniumMan: The trailer looks pretty slick.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, here's some redone models for Thirdspace.

I threw away my old lancaster because it looked like crap when compared to Diwa's lanc. However, I signifigantly modified the engines on it to make it more comprable to the original.

You mean my lanc.

Knew someone was going to do that. Think you could gimme that model?

 

Nice textures though! *Gets started on weasel*

 

Offtopic: Why are the most used smileys on the bottom of the menu that pops up for them?

My mistake, I mean your Lancaster. Sure, I'll post the updated version tomorrow sometime.

[★ jabjabjab]

YAY PROGRESS!!!!

[MillenniumMan]

Ok, the modified and skinned Lancaster.

Looks really good, but the area around the cockpit is a bit grainy... that's all

 

 

Man the next ThirdSpace client just keeps getting more promising by the post.. I am really looking forward to your next release MillMan.

Enjoy

 

Also, Wings3D can't import "ms3d" files. Any chance of exporting them as something else?

Yaaaay double post

Did this while watching Willow.

Redid lanc engines to make them look more like VIE. Tomorrow I'm gonna start to texture the model. I think I know why my unfolding technique wasn't working, so I'll try and fix it, make some high-res textures, then make some animations for my avatar like sama

 

Edit: Is it just me, or does the attachment preview mess up the images pretty bad?

In any case, just click on 'em

Im very glad that you fixed the wings.. because that poll structure should have been there.

 

 

Look at the front.. you will realize that the curved parts attached to the cockpit part curve over instead of under.

 

 

Also when your done dont forget to make a shipset render of it, with rolls plz

Edited July 27, 2009 by jabjabjab

[Gannon8]

OK I bumped it up a bit.

 

Doing roll will take awhile, cuz there's no script for it.

Wings3D actually isn't too well known for its rendering capabilities. I'll try to make a POV-Ray script or something.

[🜲 Samapico]

There is a Blender script for rolls, I believe... or did it only do the normal rotations?

You can surely start from it and modify it to get rolls though

[Gannon8]

No script for Wings3d*

 

Yeah, I'll take a look at the blender script and see if I can convert it to whatever format wings3d uses. I think there was a forum post about making wings3d plugins in C so I'll have to check that out. In the meantime, I am preparing the model for texturing, like getting rid of that "virtual mirror" that the fuselage has so that everything looks symmetrical.

 

Update: redid the wings (again) using a better technique. The old way I did it would make it hard to texture.

[★ jabjabjab]

Hell I could do it manually if you want me to. Ive been in blender so much lately

it would be really easy

[Gannon8]

jabjab do you like switching your avatar every other day? =P

 

BTW Wings3D != Blender.

 

Unless you guys have any more suggestions, I'm gonna take a break from modeling and start fixing my zone.

Edited July 28, 2009 by Gannon8

[★ jabjabjab]

Hmm I dont know... should be a way rly.. or you can export it as a different model, re import it somewhere else, and then add textures or if they are already there too just render it and save the frames, and merge them.

 

Im sure the blender community has scripted a import python script for wings3d. they did for milkshape.

 

Edit: Can someone please upload a blender file for the lancaster? my scripts in blender for import never work...

 

 

Edit2: Fixed.

 

 

Edit3: Diwa could you post your model even though it isnt done? Im going to make a small video using it whenever you do

Noone has yet to comment on my weasel

[★ jabjabjab]

I thought I did.. sorry. I think it looks rly good
