BSG Ships Project continues update: 08/01/05
« on: January 06, 2005, 02:50:41 pm »




Second one ive done, the first weighed in at 18,000 poly's so I decided to do a rebuild, This is how she looks, the rest of the detail I will add into the textures, I might make some diferent ships next from the BSG Univese, different vipers and the like, different colours and varients.

This in 7236 poly's  :)

OMG... this thing ROCKS.

I really wish someone would do a really GOOD Galactica for SFC OP.

I usually fly Carriers in Campaigns and have an old Galactica model I use....

Dammit, I wish we could get Viper contrails, but this is good enough!!

Very nice!

Seems to be a BSG bug going on around here.  
Btw: Found a Colonial Bomber from the X-box/PS2 game http://www.johnlomax.com/bomber.htm Which would look good.
Not to mention this site: http://www.galactica.tv/colonials/mini.shtml

Keep up the good work!

Please,
the new stuff on the show is far superior to the old.

New Galactia looks better, New Vipers look better, new Cylons look
WAY better.
And the new Cylon ships look better as well.

"To each his own," as they say...
I imagine the same kind of difference of opinion we see between Ent/TOS/TMP/NGen design will be seen between old and new BSG.
Personally, I liked the old designs and think they are great for their time.  However, I like the new look even more even though I still miss is the old style Basestar (and the Cylon voices), and I certainly prefer the new series to Galactica 80...

so which one looks better.. IMHO the top image of the Original Battlestar.. more realistic than the smoothe skin new one.. especially being as old as the show states it is.. as for the storyline.. the Old Series is much better.. as far as the new series goes.. better space combat..

as for ships.. the old series wins hands down..

as for the Cylons.. I much prefer the old Cylon models to the new ones and making them look human is just plain silly.. I think that they would need to mix the old Cylons with the new ones in order to bridge the gap.. besides in the Pilot Episode, the lady did state that the old models were still around and had their purpose..

on top of that, the way things went in the new BSG saga, up until boxy appeared, it could have been a continuation from the 1980's second saga ... (though the original 1970's version was the best).. this would explain having all the original series tech in ships and Cylons models in display cases and so forth and yet still have all the new gadgets.. but they screwed the timeline up by having Boxie as a refugee... Much like Enterprise screws up the timeline in Star Trek...

Great looking model. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Stewiedude, how did you get the blue on the nose to feather into the white like that? Neat effect, is that done using a plugin? I'd like to know unless its a trade secret  :o
