the FoaS Low-Poly Ship Thread

[Furyofaseraph]

Hey guys,
I recently went on a bit of a quick-modelling spree, and I wanted a central locale with which to show it off. with that said, some of these models I have already shown, but decided to bring up again.
The models can be made available if anyone would like to texture them (I can't stand unwrapping, it tends to make me lose my rhythm so I don't bother, lol).
And, as always, thanks for your time ^_^. Without further ado: the models.

Alright, let's start with the needlefleet. The needlefleet was inspired by the Kadeshi from homeworld. For those who havent played it, the kadeshi use a very insectoid-styled ship design ethos, except for one - the needle-like mothership. What I did was built a whole fleet based around the needleship ethos instead.





Next up we have a preliminary design of the Chimeran fleet. Once upon a time, I had this fleet modelled out, but (A) I lost it in a crash, and (B) I wasnt too happy with my execution, but i Loved the concept. hence, a revisit.
This is kind of the prototype model, in order to help my feel my way into the design. It also served as a kind of Technique tryout. I would say it was rather successful.

Compare to the original:

Much better, no?

Lastly, for now, I have the Zionites:
I have posted them here before, but I figured I'd lump it all to one thread nonetheless.
The concept for these was to make a Roman/Corinthian/Byzantine fleet - something alien, but sufficiently relatable to humans as to indicated a cultural commonality.

The Dreadnought WIP

The Heavy and Light Cruiser as well as the Frigate.

It is worth noting I have lightened up on the number of columns on each ship in order to make their presence better felt. Looks more like columns now then they do BSG Ribs.

Anyways, thats all I have up at the moment. Expect more Chimarans and Needleships. The Zionites will be updated but I think, for the most part, they are pretty much handled.
More fleets and designs will be making their way onto this, however, it is 7am here and i am going back to bed.

I like it.
your dreadnough looks like thingies I moddeled a few years ago.
I textured it with stones and rock maps instead of metal based hull.
with basreliefs (thos little sculptures on the lower side of the wall, cant remember the english word)
and it looked nice.

well, it's just an idea.

looking forward to see what you'll do with those ones

When you compare the two side by side that almost sounds like an understatement. I love the new version, looks much sleeker and sexier.

I really like that hex ship. it reminds me of atlantis, only much sleeker!

[Furyofaseraph]

Thank you all.
Yeah, I'm afraid you all are gonna have to wait on the Chimeran, because my primary focus is the Needlefleet.
WHICH, btw.
I have two ships ready to be textured.
The DN
The CA
They are both in 3ds Format. The CA has one texture, the DN has 4.

[Furyofaseraph]

Mwahahahaha
A man should never be afraid of his Magentas.





Details like Airlocks and vents still need to be added, but really I am pleased with what I have.

Screenshots are from SFC, but they show the texture work done thus far well.
Proper renders will follow.

WOA!!!! Damn that's kinda great fleet!

[Furyofaseraph]

Thanks ^_^.

I think texturing is done.
Lightmaps are done - still have to make Bump and Spec maps.

[Aresius]

Damn, that's a geeat ship...

[Furyofaseraph]

Update:
BC is done except for one tweak.

Also, DN has been started
