A Request from the FoaS...
« on: July 17, 2004, 02:38:43 am »
Hey, I am in need of some help. I tired modelling one, but no matter what i tried, i couldnt get it to work. What i need is basically a City in Space. No not like the Gundum Colonies or the Babylon Station. No, i mean an Atlantis feel from Stargate Atlantis.



Kinda like that.

Many many thanks for your help.

I am using both 3dMax 4 and 6...what format do you need it in?

As far as a feel, i would actually almost like a Gondorian/Numenorian feel, but with some federation thrown in there. I want it to be alien, but used by humans and aliens alike.

Colors of light Marble would be neat

and i really really really like this color, it would make good trim: #0076A2

I made it in 6, so ill have to send it to you in 3ds, that okay?

Yes, it is going to be used in the Trek Universe. but again, it wasnt built by humans.

that should be great.

oh its mark.constantine@ntlworld.com

i was thinking the star section floor and central piller would liik cool ot the were carved from white rock...or a pure metal if you like.  like a huge astoroid was carved into it,  the the towers exceera were buit and tonels made exctera.

for an idea of size. could you put a sov or galaxy in a ref pic?

your trim colour?

this is going to take a long long time.

also i will have to remove the bug bit at the botom for a simple reason.   the bace is so big.  if anyone could see it they couldent see the rest.

while im experimenting with different textures,  could you pit domes and/or spiers on any buidings you want to have the numorian look

aren't the cities of the knox from stargate less complex, you could try those, they looked good. A space city wouldn't have that complexity either, considering how much of a pain it would be to prevent all those joints from  leaking...

Im loving the different designs here, keep up the good work.

My only request is dont have the base be rock, I would like to stear away from the idea of Carving out of asteroids (thats for my next design).

hmmm

well the problem is the "carved out of rock"  bit and the "numenorian"  design go hand in hand.  its the way there culture works.

if you can give me a different cultural identaty to work from for the bace ill try.

remember something this big will in all honesy be anciant,  and so something like the gould/ejypt type style would be in order?

throw me a bone here! lol
