It's probably past time I post some of my work, so here's some odds and ends I have in the queue in various places right now. All of these are original designs... and It's probably obvious that I favor the unconventional.
First up, is also my first SFC3 model, which is currently working in-game, with just some final texuting, tweaks, and 'real' game stats worked out. The screenshots are large, so I'm linking externally. Obviously, the loadout is ridiculous for a CL/CA, but this was the for-fun test version, so what the heck.
USS Dauntless 1 USS Dauntless 2 USS Dauntless 3 USS Dauntless 4 USS Dauntless 5 USS Dauntless 6 Next in this list is a Wraith-class stealth scout ship. this is around the same size as a runabout, and what i'd consider a Federation 'black project', as it mounts a crude cloaking device, which technically the federation should never have developed due to treaty considerations... not that that's stopped them in the past. The model is nearing export, with most of the base textures laid down. I chose to go with a very 'clean' look to the texture, as a federation cloak prototype would be imperfect and trade heavily on advanced sensor-stealthing materials to pick up the slack.
Last in the line of things i actually have progess made on is a recent stab at a small Romulan vessel. The idea here is a very advanced frigate, which would be given out only to the elite of the empire, due to its advanced technologies. Possibly a product of Tal Shiar R&D for their own use. the idea is that not everyone with the cash to lay down on a CA or DN (or, in TNZ's case, a BCH) is going to want to. Perhaps they'd prefer a very expensive FF class instead. That's the niche this caters to. An FF that's far more capable than other FFs, but that also comes with a much, much higher pricetag. where BCHs and classes in that area use heavy sheilds and the like to increse survivablity, this class will use high speed and manuveurability, along with a slightly high firepower rating than your average FF. I'd say it's unbalanced, but the pricetag will make up for it, I think. It's an FF intended to run with the big boys, and it's priced accordingly. Model-wise, i've laid down just the base textures; there's a lot of work to be done on it yet.
I've got a number of other projects in mind after these... a sister ship for the Wraith based off of the Akira, and a small collection of what I can only call amusing novelty ships, and I design I found in the back of a technical manual that I liked. Given what my actual non-hobby workload is like, that should keep me busy for ages.
Oh. I'm also considering converting a couple models I did for other games over, just for the heck of it, because they'll be minimal work to convert and they're kinda neat. Those would be here:
