Calling all Stargate Fans!

[tadz]

finnally got my computer running again.. only 2 things wrong now, and thats my audio and my USB ports.. and here is my newest updates all C&C welcome as usual

[Dr Lee]

not so sure about the glow effects, but it's looking great

[tadz]

yeah i am experiminting with lens effect.. i am mostly trying to show the paneling lol sorry will try keep effects out of it atm

[Dr Lee]

What settings do you have on the Glow?

It turns out that the agony i've been in this last week or so is down to a rather nasty ear infection

While this has been happening i've started ANOTHER ship idea

(Can't stop this idea machine)



Don't really have much to say about this one, it's a small two man fighter (I might do a one man varient once this one is done) that would act mainly as a close combat fighter around the -304s and the carrier idea (Once i finish that, that is)

The green blob is the start of the two machine guns and it also carries a small number of Missiles (Not sure how many or where on the ship they'll be located) No Hyperdrive or Asgard weapons, but it will have Asgard upgraded shields and possibly either a cloaking generator or a reversed engineered Merlin-phase shifting device (Not sure which, though the former is much more likely)

Interestingly it's the Lowest poly count ship i've created yet, in the image it's only got 938 polys, whihc is quite good for me.

[tadz]

its looking good so far, well as much of it as i can see.. my computer has a really old screen lol and i have Lens effects glow and in its setup i went to inferno then changed it to electric, at 80% brightness lol forgot the rest

[scootes]

very nicly done guys and i would have work done on Hammond or others but at the moment I am strugling with a harsh work schedual and big nastie problems with the girl friend

anyway here is the render i made of a battle group. creds go to Tadz for designing the srverus and tom for helping build it. creds also go to grezliek for the deady mesh and some to me for the Hammond class CVF-308 and the clinton class BB-401. umm sorry but I dont have a space texture to put behind it and the ships arent textured either but here it is for you... let the critz a fly lol

[scorpius]

Looking good scootes. That's actually reminded me of something I was gonna mention a while ago but I'll post what I was going to post first.

Yesterday I spent a bit of time doing a series of renders of all my models, for no real reason other than I just got a bit bored lol.

This also includes the latest updates of my Icarus class. For those that don't remember it it's basically a refit version of the Daedalus (think difference between Enterprise in original series to Enterprise in the first few Star Trek movies) and the Hyperdrive Spire upgraded Icarus (difference between refit Enterprise and Enterprise-A basically). I've spent some time adding a few more greebles to it but it was mainly panelling I've done. This is how all the models stand at the moment, and I'd like to think I'll get around to making them all the same level as I've managed to get the Icarus to.

The Ares - Fast Attack (I think!) [Bar's design]


The Argo - Heavy Cruiser


The Artemis - Carrier (with Hyperdrive Spires down) [based on a design that I think was made by bagera4000]


The Artemis - Carrier (with Hyperdrive Spires Up)


The Asgard - Fast Attack Ship


Unnamed Battleship


Icarus - Cruiser


Icarus - Iapyx Subtype - Cruiser


Starbase-1 - Starbase (duh)


Valkyrie - Ground Assault (with Hyperdrive Spires Down)


Valkyrie - Ground Assault (with Hyperdrive Spires Up)


Yakami - Scout/Bomber


Now then, what I was going to mention is this. Quite a few of us have been contributing to this thread for a while now, in fact some have probably been contributing their work since the thread started almost a year and a half ago. I thought it would be cool if we could get an organised project together. I'm thinking maybe not a series but a sort of equivalent to a tv movie or pilot type thing, possibly done like a comic maybe, dunno just thinking aloud at this point really.

If we did this though there's a few of problems. One would be balancing out the team. We've got quite a few guys here who design ships (me, RJB, Dr Lee, tadz etc etc) but the only 1 of us I know who actually finishes ships with completed textured models is RJB. Then we'd need someone to actually write the thing, though I suppose we could all chip in with that bit. Then there's making final renders. Again, the only person I can think of who regularly contributes here who's made final renders is RJB. Also there's programs, which may or may not matter depending on who (if anyone) wants in on this.

Anyway, most of that was really me thinking aloud and if anyone's interested, but it's an idea anyway.

Wow I did not realize you had been soooooooooooooo busy.
Great collection/series of vessels!

[Bar]

Thats a great idea, ATM i only have one ship fully completed (And even then i'm still tinkering with it) But if i make a real effort i could get a couple of the others done in a week or two.

Those ships look sweet, if you were to do a fleet pic ala Scootes it would look awesome
