I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Take a Look

Comments welcome.

Very nice. I tip my hat to you, sir. Kinda remind me of the Psylons <sp?> off BattleStar Galactica. More so the remake of the series than the original though...

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Prett kewl. I like them alot, some of them remind of the Narn (B5) vessels. Quite good one. Add a few more glowpoints http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Yep reminded me of the new Cylons as well...

Nice. Very clean set.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

I always liked the "jagged" shipsets. The "sharp" ones...wicked looking. Though I hate to offer critique (since I don't make any), I'd suggest an additional "minority" color. Perhaps some "hi-lites" in a darker grey or a blood red. Striping, or sorts.

LOL...perhaps THIS is what one does at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

I like the shape and such, but I think they look a bit bland from the texture. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif But that's ok, Looking at the other two shipsets you're making I'm pleased with your current work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

for those who don't check NASY often you should. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

This thread's title can be sung to the tune of "White Christmas".

Now someone has to write the rest of the verse.

What kind of killer robots have the peace symbol as their flag? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

It's actually a mercedes logo. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

They are very loosely based on a narn design. Odd how you would recognize them. I am impressed.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Its an ironic logo twist. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif "We come in peace to enslave your race."

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Robots with very dry senses of humour.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

These robots kill bad guys only. Therefore they're are good and peaceful.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Cool ships! Can I have them? Pretty please? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

LMAO! Good one!

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

What do you use to draw these?

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

A program named DOGA. http://www.doga.co.jp/english/

There are a few download links, if they are still good, in the New Members Look Here threat at the top of the forum.

For this set I have reserved the privlage of nameing it to the one of the many people who donated to help keep AST and NASY sites on line for this year. The winner has been chosen and he has been PM'ed.

So hopefully within a few days the set will have a name. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In the mean time keep checking back to see the progress of it. Also I am working on two other sets, Race 2 and Race 3. These sets are in the very early stages of development and I am working on them as I have time and interest.

Normally once I have a general concept down I can finish a set within a few hours, but lately I just have not had the motivation to create. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif However, I did add the base images to Race 3 today. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

I just did a major update to Race 3. and finsihed off most of the set. There are still 8 ships that I have not done yet, but I will get to them when I have time.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Ohhhh, black ships in the sky! I remember this set from monumental "Last line" picture. Very good set (except the race portrait, which reminds me a ... well nevermind).

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Race set 3 looks great, but where is the purple jellybean accelerator canon?

Did you use purple M&M's again?

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

I am not happy with the RP either, but it is the best I can at this time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I will most likely change it before the set is released.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Trees in the weapons platform pics? That will be one that will be emulated fo years to come! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

I agree that the Race Portrait is cheesey, but the ships are very nice! The sense of a single unifying design philosophy is strongly felt but it's fairly easy to distinguish the different classes, and they all look 'sleek' or 'graceful' like you want SciFi ships to look. I'd like to see this design set modeled for SE V, along with that 'wedge' shaped imperial set from a few weeks/months ago.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Thank you all for the comments.

That imperial wedge set is actualy done. It was completed as a private set for a member of the forum. He gave me all the back story info for the set, but I lost the models when the comp crashed. I might have them on disk, but finding the right disk is the problem.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Race portraits are proving to be most difficult. And this set has the highest polygon count per model of any of my sets. The Dreadnought alone has over 100,000 polygons. Now that is detail. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Rendering the Troop Infantry image took nearly five minutes.

And yes, trees in the weapon platform give it a planet side feel that was lacking IMHO. I hope they are liked.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Unless you happen to be making races like mine, in which case the weapon platforms are underwater. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

David had a good idea for weapon platforms. Floating platforms above the clouds on repulser platforms or long poles. Very inovative idea IYAM.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Ok, I have redone the race Portrait. In my humble opinion, it is a hell of a lot better than the old one.

(The best I can do given my limited skill.)

Race 3 (Not Yet Named)

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Incredible....Incredible...

The Only downside is the polygon count, that Juggernought would be my ship of choice in Starfury http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I love this set though.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

If you can get the count down to a usable level, I will be happy to license the model for your use. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
