Topic: ships needing finished

[wulf111]

Hi everyone, its been awhile. i am glad to see everyone is still around and in good spirits . as if you couldn't figure out my life came at me pretty quick LOL my son is now a amazing 18 months old and i am having such a blast with him  he is walking and talking and getting into everything possible LOL oh well thats what kids do right

now for the reason i am here i was looking through some old back-up disks and stumbled across a few models that i thought i had lost. these models are unfinished and i was wondering if any of you here would like to take them on and see if you could finish them. you are free to modify, bash, retexture, or whatever you see fit. i have attached the RAR files for each model to this post. the only request i have is that if you decide to do one or more of the models is that you post a link to the wip thread in this thread.

i hope you have fun all or most of the models are in MOD format, i think there are also max and possibly 3DS formats in there as well.

well my fingers are crossed that someone will pick up where i left off these models are some of my best work i would hate to see them go to waste.

I know that I, and others, have downloaded them.. I have about 15 ships including these that I'd like to play with this weekend..

i am looking forward to seeing what you guys have planned for them

I've looked at them all.. and currently playing around with the WorldShip..

Just texturing the arms and redoing the mapping on the sphere..

[Starforce2]

enough with the suspense...post some pix

[atheorhaven]

.. okay, just finished up credits and such and will upload it as soon as I get space.. (maybe I'll put it over on BattleClinic).

But here's a shot from ModViewer.

Did some modifications to the mesh a bit for mapping purposes and also to add an atmosphere..

[atheorhaven]

I also tried out something new on this one.. if you look just literally above the planet, you'll see the Fresnel scattering from the atmosphere.  That's the one modification to the mesh that I made.. seemed suitable here.    Currrently trying to upload it to Battleclinic from work, but so far, no luck..

nm, it just completed.  Link is here:

http://www.battleclinic.com/docks/files/dist/index.php/file,7155e5996be502f4c6979852d10102db.zip

Includes two versions, a scaled to Mars-size version, and a larger version..

  AWSOME work there atheorhaven, i like it alot my original idea was to put a sun in there but your idea of a planet is much better. so 4 thumbs up and +karma for you

Thanks wulf, I appreciate it.    I hope that you didn't mind the small addition to the mesh, but I got the idea of Fresnel light bending through atmosphere and wanted to see if it'd work.  I think it did. 

Would love to see this one ingame, I've not had a chance to try it yet...

And the planet made sense to me.. the idea of transporting a living world out of a dying solar system and using the planet to provide atmospheric recycling and foodstuffs for the construct on its way to its destination I thought was cool. 

[wulf111]

i think it worked out well from the pic you supplied and no i dont mind and changes as i stated in my first post "you are free to modify, bash, retexture, or whatever you see fit." you did an awsome job and hope to see more from you and other people, kind of consider this thread a PIMP My SHIP thread LOL.

Found another one of my old models floating around on a disk i will post it for use when i get home tonight. ..... is anyone else besides atheorhaven been working on any of these?

If you have a basic texture set already on the model I MIGHT be able to help. It truly depends on the complexity of the textures needed to do the model justice.

.. best thing is to post it and we'll see where it goes..

[wulf111]

here is the ship i posted about earlier it originally had base textures but those have been long lost. it is in the orginal .max format but i also have included a copy in .3DS format .

[wulf111]

sorry for not getting back to you sooner F_W unfortunatly this is all i have everything else was lost when my hard drive died several months back.

[Antivyrus]

could anyone map this for me?

if you got it in .3ds format i can give it a whack

[Starforce2]

I'll see if I can get around to it (if someone else can beat me to it, do it).

[wulf111]

its been awhile since i had posted this so i was wondering if anyone has taken up any more of these to finish? i am eager to find out what has been done with them.

Atheorhaven: Don't shoot me, but that worldship reminded me of Starship Troopers.

Dump the upper ring and keep the horizontal, add more greebles for turrets and ship berths and put it around the moon. The Dark side faces us all the time so if you keep the level ring it should wobble a bit and still cover almost all the areas needed for Earth.

Add more high-res textures and BAM SST Moon defense ring. FTW!!!

Sorry I couldn't help myself!

No worries, and a moon is something I hadn't scaled for.. I had two sizes, but I never thought of doing a moon at the time.  Willl have to try that out..

my original thought was for a small sun to power the the solor collectors lining the inside of the rings but i am happy to see other peoples take on such a simple thing as a sphere.

That'd be four sizes.. Jupiter scaled (brown dwarf=small sun), Earth scaled, Mars scaled (as they currently are), and moon scaled.  All of which is easy enough to do..
