New Ship Set Concept
 

I am kinda fool around with two new sets. Both are in the early stages of design so please keep that in mind.

http://www.astmod.com/nasy/b5/proto2.PNG http://www.astmod.com/nasy/b5/proto2m.PNG

And the Second design type

And before you say it, yes I know what it looks like, but it won't when it is done.

I am sure everyone will be glowing. Of course they both look great. The subtle color variations/texturing on the dark "enterprise" is great.

The number of glowing bits (exhaust ports, shield generators, whatever) on the green ship is interesting as well.

Impressive as always

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

I like.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

I agree with others...the glowing is nice BUT, the second shipset seems a clear winner. Nice!

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Thanks guys. I am just fiddling around with design concepts and such so don't expect anything spactacular.

Here are three more that I am toying with.

Those look good, too! For some reason, I just think the first set you posted has the least potential. (OK, shoot me... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Looks great! I really like how the bright lights on the ships look. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

yeah definitly nice !!

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

I agree with the others. The 2 dark colored ones are the best.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

The mottled green texture on the second ship type is very nice. It looks very organic. I'd like to see a "Vorlon" shipset with that texture.

The later post with the 'light saber' equipped ships looks a little bit too much like toys. I dunno if it's from the surfaces being too shiny or the glowing 'light saber' bars themselves but they just don't look realistic.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Funny - that third set is my favorite of the three. I've nothing against glowing engines, and it's a new hull concept as opposed to the first two.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Thanks all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

1: wow !

2: WOW !

3: WOOOOW !!!

Once more the bar is raised. Love the glow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Very nice AT, I like the glow effect. (Especially on the enterprise looking set.)

It makes me think that the shipset could be used to do a mod where there are several branches of the federation that break off and enter a sort of revolution. the ships would be the same, but each faction would have different glowing colors. (ie Orange like you have in your sample pics, blue, red, yellow, purple and green etc.)

There must be something good about your ships when they spark my dull immagination http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Keep up the fantastic work. Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

AT

You could try wrapping bands around the glowing engine exhaust ports to minimize the light saber effect.

Third is interesting.

I like the Dark Enterprise (makes me think of Mirror, Mirror)

The green race reminds me of the newer Romulan ships

Great looking

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Excellent suggestions. Thanks.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Dude... that glowing effect will kick butt against the black backdrop. You are on to something here.

Sweeet.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Those are nice sets, AT.

I especialy like the 3rd one. It is unique in every way.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

I agree with everyone here.

Katchoo used to do this with his doga sets and they were amongst my favourites. These look just as good.

Very Nice work, for a retired shipset builder. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

I've freed Atrocities from his STmod obligations for the next few days so he better start posting some more of his Glowworm shipset... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Great looking ships. Can't wait to see the final products. Wish I had the time and the skill to do something like that.

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

I have hit a creative block. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: New Ship Set Concept
 

Maybe you could post what you've completed so far, and [grainofsalt]we could offer suggestions[/grainofsalt]...
