| One Great Ship Hello there. I've been doodling in Maya alot, and along with writing my stories, have been learning a little bit more about 3d. For one of my stories, I'm writing about the ancients journey to the milkyway galaxy, in one great ship. So, I thought about it, and decided to put it into perspective. So, here it is after about 8 hours of modelling. I'm still not finished, as I am learning about texturing as well, so it will be a little while. check out the links, and tell me what you think. http://www.thelordofeternaldarkness....egreatship.jpg http://www.thelordofeternaldarkness....hipcloseup.jpg thanks satnam |

| One Great Ship Hello!! I wasn't sure anybody would like this design and idea, so I took the chance anyway. The whole concept is about the ancients journey to the milky way in one great ship. As the ancients like doing things big, why not an absolutely massive first city ship? I call this the crystal city. It was a city on a planet in the ancients home galaxy (now the ori home galaxy) and those of the scientific philosophy took refuge here, and afterwards they undertook the great journey, whereupon thousands of years later, they came upon the milky way, a new galaxy, and this ship provided them with everything, until it was left to slumber. they didn't think they would ever need it again, but they didn't want to destoy it. The ship is still there (in this story) and it contains the entire logs of the entire journey from everybody who was on the ship, and I do mean everybody. The logs also contain the entire navigational charting, from the exodus, to the influx into the milky way, and the galaxies that they passed along the way, stopping off points, and colonies as well. This ship is old ancient technology. No zpm tech, but it taps subspace directly, and it uses these absolutely massive engines, on the underside of the entire city. i did think about black hole tech, but it might just be a little cliched. This city was the basis for atlantis. It's shielding and it's galactic drive provided the template for atlantis and its shielding and galactic drive. Tech which has never really changed so much for the ancients. It was the first, and thus its value is not just based upon it's tech, but the knowledge and thoughts of all the people who lived and died on that ship. Size wise..100k? maybe? It had to be big enough to take all of them, and have enough supplies for the journey. Along with lots of space to live in, and to be occupied during transit. What do you think? 100k too big? I'm thinking there were millions who had to leave perhaps billions. Or maybe half a billion. Who knows? I will definitely be updating this ship. I'm still learning to texture, but I will definitely make an effort to texture this. It wont be easy, but I will try. Thanks for reading!! Satnam |

| Hello again! I have an update of sorts. 3 new pics for those of you who are interested in this ongoing effort of mine to learn 3d, and of course, this design and it's evolution. http://www.thelordofeternaldarkness....greatship2.jpg http://www.thelordofeternaldarkness....punderside.jpg http://www.thelordofeternaldarkness....moothedout.jpg http://www.thelordofeternaldarkness....oothedout2.jpg Please check these out and tell me what you think so far. I'm getting there very slowly, but it's getting there! Thanks! Satnam |

| now that's really damn cool... But you should be careful... The newer image give it a very organic imapression and that's wrong... They where highest-tech... And the organic look is off Wraith... |

| Hello! Yeah, your right. It was a little organic. Figured I'd try and pull it to see what happened. Ancients were definitely highest tech..so I guess it's back to the squares and lines. Another update later..maybe tonight or tomorrow... satnam |

| Hello! I have an update of sorts. I'm pretty much done with the design I'd say, barring any further changes etc. I'm going to start next on small changes here and there. My machine is actually having difficulty with this one. It's 30k polys and counting. Tried a reduction, it went all wrong. So, I will keep it like this. Tell me what you think. http://www.thelordofeternaldarkness....greatship3.jpg Satnam |
