Battlestar Prometheus (high poly version)

[Infinity238]

Yea, another BSG model get over it.

Well here it is, after much improvement I have returned to model my Battlestar Prometheus in high poly. The Prometheus was a lowpoly ship I origionally threw together in 3 hours to stand-in the backgroud of images with my Battlestar Cerberus, however the design really grew on me untill finally I had to model her properly in all her glory. As far as poly goes it is still a big step up from Cerberus but still fairly low (by some standards).

Now at the moment I just finished panneling up the top of the head, and I am slowly working my way stern.

[Berticus]

Thats pretty well blocked out for a high poly ship. When will it go high poly?:shiner:

Neat work!
-albert

[Infinity238]

lol, lets put it this way. It's as high as I dare go with my computer when done.

[Nadesico]

is the Prometheus a Mercury class or a variant of? It looks very remenicent except for the flight pods and engines.

[punchface]

Infinity,

Righteous.

I'm really interested in the architecture of her fantail (man, that sounds dirty!) and her ventral/undercarriage in general. Can we get a shot or two?

Did you use the light-tracer scheme to render that or was it radiosity?

punchface

P.S. Are you going to arm her?

[Infinity238]

I kind of have a very loose story for the Prometheus. Basicaly in early construction it was a Mercury class, but it became a test bed for further improvements in systems and weapons. I havent decided whether to still call it a mercury class.

Punchface - The "undercarriage" is for the most part non existant atm, the render was a light-tracer. As for weapons, I usually wait untill I am done for the most part because it adds anywhere from 10-20 thousand poly just in guns.

peace

[punchface]

10-20k sounds about right. :)

Too bad about the ventral views...even from what I can see, whatever is under your ladies skirt looks it should be pretty darned interesting. So, uhh...if you see me walking around with mirrors on the toes of my shoes, just don't say anything okay? Thanks.

Can we at least get a better look at the stern?

peace,

punchface

[JustinDixon]

I usually wait untill I am done for the most part because it adds anywhere from 10-20 thousand poly just in guns.

peace

THATs ALL?! omg, talk about low poly guns :D

[Infinity238]

lol, just have to burry me every time D4327... every time :)

[evil_genius_180]

Looks cool so far. That's all I got because I don't know much about the new BSG (other than there is one.) I just know I like this. :devil:

[vf-1msx]

very nice
But the flight pods and engines needs I lil Work

[DarthMcWord]

Very nice start. Did you finish the high-poly Cerebrus?

[Infinity238]

Ahh, I just couldn't do it. I am quite attached to that model and I just couldn't remake it yet. Also some one else expressed interest in modeling a high poly Cerberus so I don't mind leaveing that option open for him.

[Concade]

10-20 thousand polygons sounds about right actually. That count should build as detail is added (how anyone gets to 3 million though... is beyond me).

Lookin good. Yet another fine ship to add to the fleet.

[Infinity238]

lol, no I was refering to the Gun turrets being 10 - 20 thousand poly considering one gun turret is like 1,000 poly with over 20 guns mounted. The thing I'm playing with is whether or not I want to use the generic kenetic gun, The model as is right now is over 40,000 poly.

[Concade]

I know:)

I'd be worried if the whole model was that size.

[Infinity238]

Little bit more done, I figured I would post an update because we have a big storm coming through tonight with hurrican force winds. So chances are I will loose my power tonight. By the way for those fermiliar with my Cerberus thread will notice the proper sized viper launch tubes.

Concade - so when can we see more of Polaris?

[Ben of Oz]

Nice mesh. The only comment I have is that maybe you could make the flight pod and center section less rounded. It doesn't fit that well into what we've seen in the new series. Unless it's a design feature you like, in which case, keep it.

[Infinity238]

Thanks I am slowly building my way aft, the reason I wanted to stay away from an angular body is because I want it to resemble the Mercury class with out looking exactly like one. I also have a differnt gun turret for the main top battery that looks like a WWII battleship gun along with the standard kenetic batteries, which should give her a bit more of a punch.

[Tovette]

wow that thing has engines out the butt. lol i dig it! Is it the same size as Pegasus?

[DarthMcWord]

I went back and looked at some of your old Prometheus renders (low-poly), this is several huge steps up. Also, you said that you were not going to do the high-poly Cerebrus at this time, I think that that Battlestar is fine at the moment. Nice work!

[vf-1msx]

It does not look like a Mercury class at all













i

[jrmurph]

Looks good. Almost reminds me of the Valkyrie. BTW does anyone have any intention of modeling the Valkyrie or the stealthstar?

[Infinity238]

I think it has to do with the amount of ref shots of the Valk, I thought about it at one point.

[kenny]

Infinity 238:Kenny.
That's A Realy Great Way To Bring Back The Prometheus, From Being Destroyed By An Ori Weapon Platform. Maybe They Could Use That To Protect The Earth From All Clyons.

[punchface]

It really gives the ship a boost in presentation, Infinity. Can you give us a brief synopsis of what you did?

punchface

[Infinity238]

I just used the photoshop light bloom tutorial in the Tutorial forum.

Kind of a cheat but hey it looks cool. That and I was playing with raytrace materials.

[vf-1msx]

How many Does Nuclear Warheads does it have ?:devil:

[Infinity238]

How meny should it have? :)

[vf-1msx]

How meny should it have? :)
OK
Let say 30
10 Deployable At the Commander or Admiral word (missiles):thumb:
10 Reserves (missiles):D
3 Viper Deployable :devil:
3 Raptor Deployable:devil:
4 Reserves for Raptor or Viper Deployment:D

How is that ???

[Infinity238]

I like the way this one thinks.

[vf-1msx]

I like the way this one thinks.

who me?

[Infinity238]

:fishslap: Yes you.

[Infinity238]

Been a while since I updated my progress on her.

[shipfisher]

Very cool battlestar.

I don't want to sound too ignorant, but I've only seen the first series of the re-imagined BSG down here in New Zealand (last thing I saw was Adama getting shot), and it seems to me that a few of the BSG projects around SFM represent intermediate designs between the new incarnation of the Galactica and the seventies version.

Is there a story line about such a ship after the 1st season and/or is it inferred that the latest battlestar is descended from the original style ships?

[shipfisher]

I've just been over at the "Pegasus Actual" site and have sort of answered my own question from the previous post, but the Pegasus, Prometheus, Sirius and such still look more like the original Galactica to me than the new one does, mostly due to the ribbed hull (no condom jokes please) on the latest big G.

[al3d]

mesh looks awsome man..but name is a bit confusing since there is already a ship called Prometheus in BSG

[Infinity238]

Is there? Which civy ship is it? Most of the time I just go on the list of the origional battlestar names. I know there was a battlestar Olympic in the old series, and in the new series the name was used for the Olympic carrier.


Edit:
Ahh the ship from the black market, huh for some reason I never rememberd that one. But still Its mearly a run down old freighter, quite possible that the owner simpy named her that not knowing that the was a Battlestar with the name already.;)

[vf-1msx]

Keep the name
lol What is a run down old freighter gone say about it lol

[punchface]

...but that's just my opinion.

Rock on, Infinity.

punchface

[al3d]

Keep the name
lol What is a run down old freighter gone say about it lol

hey...it's my freighter..LOL..it's not that old..;)....it's just not that well maintained..ahahaha

[Talos]

And it is carrying the Colonial mafia. :lol:

[Infinity238]

If the frieghter wants we can have a game of chicken for the name.:)

[vf-1msx]

:devil:
If the frieghter wants we can have a game of chicken for the name.:)

lmao
I am betting on The Battlestar Prometheus :devil:

[backstept]

they can share it :D

I mean there are like 12 ships called Enterprise . . . more like 10 but who's counting? :shiner:

I'm likin the ship so far :thumb:

[evil_genius_180]

Is the freighter a civilian ship or a military ship? If it's a civilian ship, it wouldn't matter anyway, since the civilian authorities wouldn't worry about duplicating names of military ships. I'm sure it happens all the time.

Infinity238, the ship looks great. :thumb:

[Infinity238]

[Choo1701]

Very cool, but i feel you need to greeble the nose up. Looks very plain at the moment and needs some eye catching detail.

Other than that, very sweet design. :thumb: Those mammoth engines are killer :D

[DarkSapiens]

I liked it a lot, man. :thumb:

That was impressive.

[backstept]

you rock my socks, man :thumb:

[Paveway]

I love the ship, but I just don't care for your dorsal gun turret design. I also dislike the layout of them. Very close to the engines with big blind spots, and it just looks weird in a crossed pattern. A square layout of the four turrets more towards the middle of the hull would look a lot better.

You need some more guns on the turrets as well. Some on the flight pods and maybe four more dorsally on the head area.

Galactica has what 24 turrets and Pegasus 40 turrets.

[Majestic]

Looking great, I really like this design.

[Infinity238]

What I find is I not only get better with every battlestar, I get faster too. About two nights ago in about 5-6 hours I sat down and built a quick Mercury class for a fan comic I'm doing. I didnt spend too much time on her because she basicaly shows up for two or three pages than shows up as debris later.:D

I was thinking of releaseing this one because there is no Pegasus model available outside of coxxons ship pack here on scifi-meshes.

[vf-1msx]

nice Work Keep it up :thumb:

[Adama]

The Battlestar looks good :thumb:

[Choo1701]

Looks excellent, but the panels seem to have been extruded too much. Other than that, thats cool work for two nights :thumb:

and fan comic??? sounds interesting....

[Cyba_storm]

"..in about 5-6 hours I sat down and built a quick Mercury class.." Quote from Infinity238.

It has taken me 6 WEEKS to half build the head of the Gunstar I am working on.

[Infinity238]

I was in the zone pmpn , plus it was holding up my comic so I needed a Mercury class quick.

[vf-1msx]

I was in the zone pmpn , plus it was holding up my comic so I needed a Mercury class quick.
cool
plz give us more:eek:

[firekite]

i would love to include the "Prometheus" in a bsg minatures combat game i am creating with the b5 a call to arms rules. i would create game stats and a counter that would be posted on a yahoo group for free download.

[Infinity238]

Sure, sounds interesting. I just googled the B5 call to arms game, some what ashamed I haven't herd of it till now. Do you have any links to your work so far I would love to see it.

[FFG-142]

I was in the zone pmpn , plus it was holding up my comic so I needed a Mercury class quick.
hmmm....is there somewhere I can read your fan comic?

[Infinity238]

lol, maybe when its done...(if it gets done) I'm terrible at not finishing my comics. But I like this one so chances are high that I will, although I never intended to show them. They are useually for my own enjoyment.

[firekite]

not for the current one but i will let you know as soon as i post them. if you go to mongoose publishings forum in the b5 call to arms forum is my tos version called "Battlestar Galactica: the Cylon Wars" there are ship stats there but no counters or pictures. thank you for the use of the "prometheus"

I asume this is what you wanted correct? Let me know how it turns out I have to say you've got my interest with this.

[vf-1msx]

Coool :thumb:

[firekite]

those were made by "court jester" he is currently working on a version of his own. yes that is what i will be doing and yes those are gorgeous thank you!

[XRaiderV1.7]

im impressed, hope to see more of this ship.

[Duke]

is there a layout like the one done for the valkyrie??
http://www.scifi-meshes.com/meshes/gallery/Valkyrie_Ortho.jpg

[Infinity238]

Ahhh, I juust havent got around to it yet. Give me a couple of hours.

[XRaiderV1.7]

youve got another fan waiting to see some orthos, lol.

[Skeletor]

i would also like to see a size comparison with Galactica, Pegasus and Valkyrie

[Infinity238]

Here ya go.

Edit: oh and the size chart. just my ruff estimate. I had to change Prometheus size as it didnt add up next to Pegasus

[svobomil]

Great! Thanx.

[mikala]

You have to get the Prom into a nice render! She's looking very very nice!

[Skeletor]

amazing work. thanks for that size chart dude. much appreciated.

[Endeavour]

The Pegasus is actually about 1800 meters or so long.

[whitestar]

very nice work

[Elffin]

Really nice work!

[Infinity238]

Tease... ( ::cough:: rebuild ::cough:: ) ;)

some reshapeing has happend with her, the Prommie now has nicer lines and feels alot bigger. I also added a smaller "utillity" hanger in the main flight pod super structure.

[DarkSapiens]

Very cool, man. :thumb:

What level of detail do you want to achieve with this rebuild?

[Infinity238]

Oh, much much more. :devil:

By comparison
Old Cerberus 38,000poly
Old Prometheus 65,000poly
New Cerberus 198,000poly
New Prometheus ???,???poly

Ultimately It comes down to what my computer can handle, but I do hope it will be upwards of 200,000.

[Free-Lance]

dude your the man!

[Free-Lance]

Infinity! I love what you got but may I offer you a suggestion that may or may not be liked by you!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Why not make the main body even with the snake head, like the Galatica?:stupid::stupid::stupid:

This would dramatically improve the line of fire for combat?:):):)

[XRaiderV1.7]

[XRaiderV1.7]

patience is of virtue
after all, most if not all of us have lives to attend to.
he gets to it when he gets to it.
no amount of whining or complaining is gonna change that.
you ask once, and then excercise some patience.
hop on over to the bsg ship and fighters thread, the one started by skeletor, lots of good stuff on that thread.

there's even a fanfic rumered to be on that thread.

[Infinity238]

Shes a comeing, couple of things I'm finishing up first.

Seeing this thread only now, please can you tell me if you sub-d the model, or the poly-count consider just the poligonal faces not subdivided? If so I can't imagine how the polycount will raise up :D

Just dont have too much more done from when you last saw, new engines started adding some details (it had some hull plating but I didn't like the look of it so I deleted it).

[XRaiderV1.7]

sweet frakking ship, nice.

one question: any defensive weaponry anywhere in between all those engines

[Infinity238]

On the last version there were guns mounted on the bottom aft area, who knows maybe I'll try something new and put guns on the engine pods themselves.

[XRaiderV1.7]

must
see
more
*drools on keyboard at the sight of this nice ship*

[Free-Lance]

SHE BEAUTIFUL!

God what a ship.
If I may offer a suggestion why not expand the body to fit smoothly with the snake head.

This would open up the ship to allow for better coverage on fire points !

Just a thought, keep up the good work!
And keep those updates coming!

[XRaiderV1.7]

may work, from a tactical stand point.

personally, i think she's fine as is, so, why not put it to a vote, if you're willing to consider it i mean, she is your ship.

id actually like to see that, personally.

that reminds me, got some mods to make on a 2d ship i asked CanisD to work on for me, tweaks to the thrusters.

Also, for the record infinity, damn fine ship sir!
keep it up.

peace,

[mikala]

Nice to see this ship get the royal treatment.
Really starting to fill out.

[Free-Lance]

Come on my friend please MORE!
I'm Joan sing here:(!

[Infinity238]

I've actually started plateing her, stopped, deleted, plated, stopped, deleted, ext... a couple of times now. Cant seem to come up with something differnt that I like, on this one I'm open to ideas.

[XRaiderV1.7]

nice

[XRaiderV1.7]

infinity, try breaking up the plating into sections, show some ribbing, try shaded panel lining, theres lots of different ways this can be tackled.

think outside the box, if you will.

hope this helps somewhat.

[Infinity238]

http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/8646/prometheuswip05ot8.jpg
Kind of like this.

[mikala]

Very nice and with the amount of guns everyone loves.

[XRaiderV1.7]

that actually works very well for this ship infinity

[Infinity238]

I also slimmed the back of the "head" to fit better.

[XRaiderV1.7]

i noticed, very nice.

[Free-Lance]

I like it Infinity!:thumb:

My I say that ridge on the back bone of the main hull would be a great place to two sets of 4 guns much like the Galatica!:p

Anyway I love it keep up good work!:thumb:

[Infinity238]

If you recall, my origional Prommy did have dorsal guns. But the kinetic gun I built for Prometheus is much larger than the standard one on colonial warships.

[Free-Lance]

Hey and I loved the way those guns looked too!:thumb:

[XRaiderV1.7]

still, infinity, I must agree on the guns, you need a dorsal armament of some kind

[Starship]

Nice update!!! Big weapon array...

[Infinity238]

There are the guns mounted on the engines and on ether side of the spine, but I can see some big guns going up there somewhere.

[XRaiderV1.7]

may i suggest a gun model?
granted its in 2d, but it'll look good on this ship none the less: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ace1701e/GunIdea.png

Good man Infinity: where here just waiting and loving what we see so far!:cool:

[Infinity238]

Thanks, just for you guys I have an update. Now these are some of the BIG kinetic guns that comprise the Prometheus primary anti-capital ship battery. These babies dwarf the valkyrie style guns in Prommies secondary battery.

if so, i know one 2d artist who's gonna have a real great day.

[Infinity238]

No, sorry to dissapoint but I had already started those before you posted the image.

[XRaiderV1.7]

not dissappointed, hopefully they make it into a future build

[FatKlingon48]

There are two Instances that the Battlestar Prometheus is used, one in a Fanfic by Ryan Keeton and a CDF Chapter Called the Battlestar Prometheus, BSR-01, BTW you can find the pics of the ship on Keetons website, but go through this one: Battlestar Prometheus - (BSR-01) (http://bsr01.com/)

And how do I know this?

I would have to agree with XRaiderV1.7 on the armor flaps covering the launch tubes just not sure on those but it might grow on me:D

[Lonewriter]

nice work on the update.

[gthompsn]

Infinity, you said most of your work prior to this and the Valkyrie was for mods. Which game and why is that work now "out the window"?

Lower poly versions of both of these ships would be great for the HW2 BSG mod.

[Infinity238]

Not sure where I said my work prior to valkyrie was only mod work, but prior to my joining this forum all I did was low poly game modding. I still do game modding as I run the Gundam Legacy mod over on petrolution. However my skills have improved thanks to the meny skilled artist here and the great creative atmosphere.

Since I'm posting I might as well throw an update up on the big board. Just a fun little render I did.:thumb:
50599

[SolCommand]

It's always nice to see such a cool battlestar model. I'll be sure to drop by now and then to see the updates on the ship. Good job man !

[gthompsn]

...yeah, that's what I meant. With what you have learned here on these forums, how will that impact your modding work? Are you planning to revisit any of the low poly models?

[Infinity238]

Are there any models specifically that you thinking of?

[gthompsn]

I'm not part of any mod team, but I do think the HW2 BSG mod could use help implementing some of the models they are working on (like the Cygnus) as I think there's only one person on the team who is texturing models. Also, either the Prometheus or Cerberus or any other design you come up with could add a lot too (like speculative new Cylon designs or help with some of the mod's TOS ships).

Their mod is hosted at : SourceForge.net: HW2 Battlestar Galactica Mod (http://sourceforge.net/projects/hw2bsg/)

[Adalla]

Very nice model :) Great job.

However I'm wondering what you are using as reference?

I'm currently reading a Fan Fic called Battlestar Prometheus, that talks about the story of the Prometheus, which is according to the author a "Nova-class" Battlestar, the newest of the Fleet, launched right before the Fall of the 12 Colonies.

Here is a link to a picture the author put up to compare the Prometheus to other Battlestars, I am not sure what his source is either.

Battlestar Prometheus Comparison Chart (http://battlestar.prometheus.googlepages.com/listofships)

In the story, the Prometheus has 2 Viper squadrons and 1 Raptor squadron...while a Mercury-class Battlestar has 8 squadrons and 1 reserve, and the Galactica has 4 squadrons, to give you size comparisons. However on that chart, the Prometheus is the biggest Battlestar and the tech info says 4 Viper squadrons 1 Raptor squadron and 18 scimitar bombers.

[BolianAdmiral]

Beautiful ship.

[Darkone]

Adalla good point!

[Infinity238]

I have a whole writeup on my Prometheus, but basiclly she was a Mercury clas when her keel was layed down but due to budget cuts she was never completed. After 8 months in limbo her semi completed hull was slated to be used as a testbed for new technology. Once completed she was intended to replace the ageing battlestar Cerberus as command ship of BSG-39.

[deg3D]

Very nice dude, very. :)

deg

[Darkone]

Now infinity we need you to write the story out!

Anyway I love the lines on your battlestar far better then that 2D version out there!

[Infinity238]

I was actually going to flesh it out in another way...

[Darkone]

Do us a favor and have a sim where it wipes the solar system out of the( I hate this ship design) MERCURY class ship!

Unfortunatly I dont have too much to show, I started playing with the textures but I didn't like the way it looked so the textures are going back to the drawing board.

[hawkbs]

Damn that looks good.

I have a whole writeup on my Prometheus, but basiclly she was a Mercury clas when her keel was layed down but due to budget cuts she was never completed. After 8 months in limbo her semi completed hull was slated to be used as a testbed for new technology. Once completed she was intended to replace the ageing battlestar Cerberus as command ship of BSG-39.

Source for this? Just curious thanx.

Also, BSG stands for Battlestar Group right? how many Battlestars usually in a BSG? also does the BSG take the number of the lead battlestar? so BS-75 is command ship for BSG-75?

[Infinity238]

I made it up around this post. (http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3d-wips/12450-wip-battlestar-cerberus-10.html) As for BSG the show is not to clear how this works, my guess would be the group assumes the number of the lead battlestar.

with or without, however you prefer, I'm still interested in seeing whatever you have on her.
usual orthographics please, as big as you can go, preferably in individual views(e.g. separate pics per view).

thank you.

[Gargoyle]

Very cool stuff, I totally like it. Thanks for sharing and were can one see the complete comic?

[fongsaunder]

Not wanting to nitpick, but the comic show's Poseidon's port batteries instead of her starboard guns, and a typo in starboard, but as you said, they are outdated anyway

My house. There isn't a whole lot done yet, mostly because I need to finish a couple of things up first before I go any further.

Ooops, the image must have been mirrored in PS... cant beleive I missed that. I was going have to redo that one anyways since I've updated my Poseiden model.

Always after a little more eh?:D

[XRaiderV1.7]

you bet, I'm most interested in this ship, been literally comparing the past version with the new version, as renders come out, trying to spot differences and whatnot.

and I'm most definitely liking what I see.

[Infinity238]

Thats why I love ya xraider, little bit of texture work.

[XRaiderV1.7]

I think you may have something here.
is that based off the texture work on the valkyrie?
either way, I do believe you may have found the right texture.

[Darkone]

I love the texture but think you need more guns on top!

[Orion's belt]

no more guns it looks good the way it is

[XRaiderV1.7]

I agree on the textures, excellent work.
as for the guns, could go either way with those.

[aylaa12]

infinity this is a wonderful ship I may say and the feel and look of her its perfect hope to see new uptades soon and hopefully with renders and all I really love this ship

[Infinity238]

Basically I cant get the detail I want with the current computing power that I have, so this beastie is on the shelf for at least a month or two. A new computer has been on the to do list for a while now.

[XRaiderV1.7]

I've been planning my new computer's specs and purchase for over a year now, and will be ordering it in one month's time.

it will soo be worth it.

[Lonewriter]

I just got my new computer Friday and I love it, the only problem I had was getting Max to work with vista. I finally have it working but I am having a problem with installing the patch so I hope when you get a new one, you have better luck. Vista is so differant than XP.

[aylaa12]

yes thats right the new hardware its great but vista makes the software hard to pass on but gentlemen lets keep this beasty alive she's great

[Darkone]

windows 7 IS GOING TO BE OUT in 2nd quarter 2009 now!

Vista is the new OS BITCH that doesn't work!

[Infinity238]

After I went to europe this winter ($2800) I had to shell out $2400 on new custom goalie gear (in my university colors) so the computer is slated in about two months time. I am looking forward to doing much higher poly detailing for this beastie.

[Cyba_storm]

What is the current poly count?

[aylaa12]

infinity its been a while and I'm a big fan of the Prometheus I hope she's not dead yet take care buddy
