I was bored...new pics added
... so I made this:
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...ods1stship.jpg I picture it as an organic, living ship. Never tried this before. Comments? Yes, I need a life! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif [ December 05, 2003, 08:03: Message edited by: Nodachi ] |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Kind of looks like a mutated whale.
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Nice textures, good design. When I first saw it the first thing that came to mind was... Sphincter Shark. I don't know if that thought is good or bad, but it is definitely organic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
cool! I like it...
I think maybe make it a little more green shade. |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Definitely finish the set and it is shall have a home in Adamant Mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: I was bored...new pics added
I wish I could got bored and have the time to do something like that. I like it and would definitely like to see a whole set done so I could add it to my roster of races. Good work.

Re: I was bored...new pics added
Reminds me of Star Trek Epsiode 35, Season 2:
The Doomsday Machine. With fins. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Very cool, nonetheless. BTW, what tool[s] did you use? Gecko |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
What graphics program did you use?
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
LOVE that ship. is there a set in the works?
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Thanks for the comments! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
This was made using 3ds max in about three hours. I'll consider doing a whole set. If I do, Fyron, your welcome to it! |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Three hours? Good God, 3dMax must be a bear of a program to use.

Im not saying make it green just give it a green tinge. but thats just my opinion anyway, so it dosent realy matter. then again, if narf is eating it it might be like cheese, which looks yellow (and is grown) so... though if you leave cheese long enough it gets green and blue fluffy bits on it. himnnn.... yea, put some green and blue fluffy bits on it!! whatdya say narf? bluevain ship? |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
no, i try to avoid food with green and blue fluffy bits on it.

Re: I was bored...new pics added
green and organic are a cliche. even me (yeah, people who know me longer know that i use green everywhere), ive decided that organic ships need different colors. dont want to drift too OT and link to my ships, so lets just all enjoy nodachi's little masterpiece http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: I was bored...new pics added
hey, I LOVE your ships, and green is my favorate colour!

Re: I was bored...new pics added
oh yea! nodachi's ship!!!
right, umnn its a carrier isint it? need to make some fighters next http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif and yes Atrocities, 3dsm is one of those programes that have so many cool and usefull things in it, you need a degree or somehting to be able to use it. I tryed a copple of times, got halfway through the tutes in GMax and had forgotten the stuff from the first copple of tutes. damn, I wish I had the time, concentration, and stickability to learn it. btw GMax should be quite good for SEIV shouldent it? after all you just need a decent 3/4 and top shot of the model.

Otherwise, there is no reason to assume it would use clorophyl to get solar energy, and so could in theory be of any color. The color of the ship looks great to me. Changing it would suck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
It reminds me of that green ship Sarris commanded in that movie Tim Allen did, Galaxy Quest or something. Man I that movie was fun to watch, and the Heavy was actually quite enteraining.
If you have not seen that movie yet, you should. Very funny. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Green may be plants, but nothing says organic ships would have to operate on that model. Actually, they likely couldn't (different light distrubution around different stars)
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Having some photosyntheric properties is a good idea for organic ships because it provides lots of free energy. Just like solar panels on regular ships can provide free energy. The problem with different stars could be worked out by those advanced enough in the ways of biochemistry to make such ships in the first place. Just design your clorophyl-like substance to be adaptable to different light distribution.
Although, I am skepical that that would actually even be an issue, because there are many plants that can only live in certain amounts of sunlight (such as those that can only live in the shade created by the trees of a forest), and they still use the same clorophyl. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Photons are photons, afterall.

You could make a complete Galaxy Quest set. LOL.
What we really need is a good BSG Colonial and Cylon set. The current ones, although good, could be a lot better. |

'I got bored'.
what you NEVER want to hear in the control room of a(n): nuclear power plant, airplane, during surgery or on the bomb squad. |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
ZeroAdunn made a shipset based off of the silvery/white ships in Galaxy Quest.
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
truely awesome. I highly encourage you to make an entire set. I like the color perfectly, and it does have a very organic feel.
dont take this the wrong way, because its coming from me, but i would totally use a shipset like that every time i play my regular empire on PBW. or anywhere else. |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Thanks again for the comments! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Atrocities, the work on the texture is what took the most time, that and throwing away stuff I didn't like. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Here's some new pics: http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...32/fighter.jpg A fighter http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...10632/mine.jpg A mine http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...0632/ship2.jpg And another ship. Obviously I still need to scale the images and I still don't know what class each ship is but I'm having fun with it so there'll be more. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |

Re: I was bored...new pics added
Great work Nodachi! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Are you using the BlobMod plugin? I really like the color. It's almost the same color I had used in a shipset I never finished. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif Behold the Bli'Bu! Now I've shown it I will have to change its color and finish it. [ December 06, 2003, 01:49: Message edited by: Andres ] |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
very nice, associates with aliens of the style of the movie Alien. Very nice. Only comment is that fighter should perhaps be reviewed as it looks a bit crude.
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Thanks for the comments guys! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I've been working on some more that I'll post in the morning when I get home from work.
Andres, no, I'm not using the blob-mod plugin. These have all been editble meshes that I've done by hand. The procedural shader I'm using has a deformation map worked into it. I could send it to you if you like it. As I've been learning the program I've changed over to editble poly and I think that has improved my models, we'll see what you all think once I post more pics. |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Here's three more:
A drone http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...0632/drone.jpg and two more ships http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...0632/ship3.jpg http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/...0632/ship6.jpg |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
pretty, sparkly christmass tree ornaments.
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
taking on a much more aquatic feel, especially that manta ray. I would get rid of the eyes, it makes it look a littly goofey.
I like them all, but the Last one does not seem quite in theme with the ohter ships. nothing says it has to be, but most of the others had a long hull with protrusions and a cavity towards the front. this one gets away from that paradigm entirely - so it reminds me more of a drone or fighter. |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Yeah, Puke, I tend to agree about the drone. I think I'll replace it with the Last ship. My drone concept was to make it a semi-independant organism whereas the ships are grown from cultures.
|
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Like the concepts. Ignore the peons though, keep the eyes, consider adding tendrils / cillia / thin wavy stuff. These are organic, you need some organic antennae. Get rid of the hard and techno looking fins, try something more fish or bird like... Dragonish whip tale perhaps?
(I use an organic tech race and I wanna' decent shipset, thus the comments. If I'm gonna' steal something, I've got to like it) |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
"Eyes" are not very realistic for a space-born creature... they would have far more complicated sensory input systems than just mere eyes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Nodachi, no news from your work for a fiew months... still working on your organic ships ?

Re: I was bored...new pics added
They look like hammered gold ships to me...
every time you capture a ship - jackpot! |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
The Captain of the Royal Flush could not belive his eyes as he peered out the forward view screen at the giant gold rock like ship.
"Is that-?" He started to ask but was cut off. "Pure GOLD!" His science officers said with more than a bit of awe in his voice. "Weapons arm the Blackjacks were going in." Ordered the Captain as he rubbed his hands together and grinned evily. |
Re: I was bored...new pics added
Royal Flush - What da king do on his throne. - possible Whiley's dictionary entry?
