In need of Drone Chassis? Come to the FoaS Tactical Emporium. We have whatever model you need to maintain order in your territorial space.


Left to right: Stiletto light missile, Mustang Medium Missile, Scorpion Light Missile (Standard), Scorpion-E Light ECM missile, Maverick Superlight Missile, Havok Superheavy Missile, Raven Heavy Missile.

So these are what the Kzinti are going to be uselessly throwing at the Tholian ship, I think. I finished the Smoke Trail rig, I will start and finish the Engine Flare rig that I have in mind in the morning.

EDIT: I scaled up the Havok a bit, and scaled the Raven down some. I didn't re-render the shot, but trust me, it looks much better now.

not bad drones.  maybe alittle more detail or such on the super light.  Maybe nothing more then a body ring near the center to help hold it in a rack or mount to a fighter.

Not the biggies look like photons [from the movies](probably on purpose).

Oh crap... I'm going to do it again...

Have you seen my start on an Orion Enclave mod FoaS? With "drones" you can pilot?  :flame:   let me search it up here...

edit: ah here is one thread that mentions it: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163349591.0.html

Can't see those images bonk. Just woke up - so I'm going to have some coffee before I read that other thread.

Yes, the big drones were intended to look like photorp casings from TMP. Personally, i like the idea that Photon Torps are energy weapons. In my own 'verse, what we see being loaded into the Torp Bay in TWoK (and also being fired by the Klingon at the beginning of TMP) are drones! On the Enterprise, the Drones and Photon Torpedoes share the same firing tube, so it makes sense that people would confuse them ;). But again, this is all my version of trek.

Chop, chop... snap to!  ;) ;D I'm on my third coffee and about to make my second shopping trip of the day.

(can't see the images as in not awake enough? not clear enough? or permissions error? - playing with a user media folder there.)

If only SFC would allow for custom weapon entries *sigh* - I would have such a field day if I could script my own weapons into it - All sorts of new Plasma variants, all sorts of new missile types, etc. -shrug- oh well.

Anyways - working on that Drive exhaust rig. Will post a shot when I get somewhere recognizable.

No worries; I've debugged web stuff before, it can be a pain to switch between users to double check permissions. Glad I could help.

Alright, Drive flare is made, but still needs to be rigged with a useful interface.

How did I learn? Lots and time, patience, and Video tutorials :)

I use 3ds Max v9 and Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP sp3.

Take a look at my site: Robinimicon (its in the sig) if you go to Articles, and Video tutorials, I have about 7 or so video tutorials explaining some of my workflows. I will probably end up releasing all these special effect rigs, and if I do I will end up making video tutorials on how to use them. :).

Welp, unfortunately, I've hit a hickup with this little project. Hopefully nothing fatal, but it is annoying, I'll tell you that much. The Smoke Trail rig that I made crashes max everytime I open the original scene, but NOT when i merge it into a new scene. I can't find anything resembling a Log file that max keeps, so I'm uninstalling and reinstalling max 9. Unfortunately, with all the plugins I have this process can take about 2 hours >.< - if that fails, I'm going to have to remake the smoke trail rig (not a big deal, but what a pain).
