Oh how cool! smile.gif I think the lighht on it is a little bit to bright, but that's just I! blum.gif

 

EDIT :: The light is a little too bright (it makes it look cartoony),

The light is probably a white colored light with a few tints of yellow in it (it doesn't look like the original Subspace ships.bm2 has any yellow tinting in the light),

And overall it looks just a bit cartoony (it isn't as realistic as the original ships.bm2).

 

Just my thoughts. ^_^ Heh, maybe someone will have to make a roll script for 3DSM/Blender.

Heh, so I made a this yesterday-->today with an in-game screenshot. No side reference so I kinda "winged it" before looking around and finding this site, which I'm happy I did :(.

 

I know mine doesn't compare to http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/3821/javelinun0.png , but hey, why not?

 

My mini tribute to the jav:

p.s. what's the poly range on third spaces ships? just curious

Blender is free, i think it works pretty good

 

for more professionnal programs... 3D studio max, Maya... don't expect buying one of those though blum.gif they're probably in the thousands $

didn't touch 3d stuff for a couple of years though, im probably not uptodate

It will take a while to download...

 

Anyway, I think for modelling something like this a freeware program such as Blender would be fine...

Also try Wings3D, which is more specifically for creating single models then Blender.

Yikes! That is a very far-fetched (or visionary depending on how you look at it blum.gif ) idea... nice thought though... wonder if anyone with a lot of spare time would like to start trying...

 

I remember someone bringing up this idea on DSB a while ago (can't recall who now)... I suggest that if someone starts developing a version that they try atmospheric-style physics for the ship flight, as this would retain some of the old style of 2D subspace (instead of going for a game with no sense of 'up'). Ever played a game called SpaceCowboy? A bit like that.

 

One of the main problems in my opinion with creating a 3D version of SubSpace/Continuum would be the loss of the current high maneuverability of the ships in the current 2D game, as moving back towards the direction of the camera would be a problem (as you can't see what is behind you).

 

Oh well... perhaps we are just dreaming... smile.gif

True, but to another degree you could use your mouse to rotate the third person camera around the ship and use the mouse buttons to shoot your guns and bombs (and possibly mines if you have enough buttons :D). Even pointing the camera could smoothly rotate your ship around to adjust itself to be perfectly aligned with the camera while moving about. But eh, 3D is a whole new world.

this 3d thing discussion has happened at least 10 times in the past...

Well, maybe someone should get a move on and start developing one lol biggrin.gif

However if you do I sincerely suggest you do not use the Continuum client as a base...

Actualy it's MillenniumMan and his buddies, and have been for some time. Jab is the newest addition to the team.

 

New ships are below, but this isn't all of them. Nightwasp is coming back.
