Calling all Stargate Fans!

[freekzilla]

I'm putting out a call to arms to all Stargate fans. From the casual to the "frothing-at-the-mouth" fanatic, let's make the biggest Stargate ship thread around. Let's put all the ship designs you have up, everything from a basic roughed out design all the way up to textured and shaded. I know finished renders usually go to the gallery, but when is a diesogn truly "done"? I can't tell you how many times I've gone back and changed things and re-rendered them. I've done this too many times to count. So put'em up!

So here's what I'm looking for:
1.) Earth based ships
2.) Experimental Goa'uld ships (They may be in hiding right now, but they are not sitting back doing nothing. They have a gallaxy to re-conquer.)

A.) The earth ships should be from around the current timeline, plus or minus 5 years.

B.) Not all ships will be big like the Daedalus. The navy isn't all battleships and carriers you know.

c.) Keep the technology consistant. You wouldn't expect Asgard weapons on an Earth ship. Instead of revolutionary technologies, try to keep the tech evolutionary. (ie: larger sized rail guns, smaller faster missles etc.)

d.) The SGC surely has some Goa'uld weapons on hand in VERY limited amounts. Some of it has to make it onto a ship eventually. Remember, it would be in limited quantities, so you wouldn't see a Daedalus class ship fitted with 30 staff cannons. But you might find a small destroyer type ship with a mix of Earth and Goa'uld weapons.

e.) The SGC probably wouldn't use Ancients' weapons either. Too little is known about them. So far, very few Ancient weapons have been found.

So what have you got in mind? What class of ship do YOU think the SGC should have?

1.) Missle Cruiser
2.) Cargo transport
3.) Assault Cruiser
4.) Covert attack destroyer
5.) dedicated fleet carrier
6.) armed troop transport
7.) science and research vessel

These are just some ideas. Let's see how creative you can be. If you build it, they will come. :thumb:

[Legolas25]

Sounds like a good idea, I'll prolly contribute something later on.

M only crit is for number C though. I agree that technology should be kept current, but in light of the Ori threat, I'd imagine the Asgard would provide Earth with some limited weapons. They gave them to Earth when the Gao'uld were a threat and took them away once they were defeated. Now that there's a newer, bigger bad guy, I'm sure they'll supply some again, at least until they defeat the Ori.

Legolas, no doubt about that. You are certainly right. What I'm tryin to avoid is going from the Daedalus to the Death Star in one shot. We might get Asgard weapons, but the ship wouldn't necessarily be designed around that weapon only. Besides, between Carter and McKay, and IMO, Zelenka, they'd come up with an even more advanced earth weapon system. Sam did come up with the modulator chip for the TER to combat the Kull Warriors, with some help from Jacob/Selmak of course.

I just want to spur creative ship designs that have different characteristics. You have a good point though. It is yet to be seen if that happens though. The Asgard have been conspicuosly absent lately. I personally think Thor has a crush on Sam and has locked himself away to avoid the awkward moments.:lol: Maybe that's why Kvasir is so sarcastic to Sam. Hmmm, makes you think doesn't it?

[freekzilla]

This is a rough finish of a new class ship, the Diligent. It is a Courier ship. Very very fast. no weapons installed yet, but has standard shields. Meant to traverse the distance between Earth and Atlantis more rapidly and with less wear and tear on the Daedalus.

Not sure I like the rounded shape though. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

[General_Zod]

Wrong section. The last time I checked the air force is in charge of the SGC.

[freekzilla]

Wrong section. The last time I checked the air force is in charge of the SGC.

That they are. The Navy does however participate in SGC operations. There are several naval officers on the military counsel that oversees the SGC. The Daedalus also brought Marines to the Pegasus gallaxy during the seige of Atlantis. AND, if you look closely, a few naval crewmen were aboard the Prometheus. You can't tell from the uniform, you have to look at the other insignia. And lastly, the Daedalus is considered a Battle Cruiser as Col. Caldwell stated several times. I'll try to find what episodes show this.

Besides, how would you classify the ships? They don't exacly fit conventional classifications.

Looks good, but kind of like a sarcophagus ship. Don't know if that was intentional though.

Looks very much like the diligent from the Wing commander movie...nice job..

[Northern_Mind]

I've been wondering about making a SGC cargo carrier, maybe i'll just do that :P

[Nadesico]

The Ori ships are 20-30x the size of the Earth shisp, perhaps that should be the maximum size, especially if Earth is going to make a Ori-killer type ship.

And the Orion is about 4 times the size of the Daedalus too. Daedalus should not be considered the "maximum" size for earth ships.

[mikala]

Has anyone thought about doing a render at scale for all the SG ships for size comparision? It would be really helpful when doing a scene setup:)

[Vilandra]

Mikala, that would be a great idea. There is a thread over at gateworld.net about ship sprites, and someone there drew up some plans for all the SG1 and SGA ships.

[freekzilla]

Looks very much like the diligent from the Wing commander movie...nice job..

DING DING DING!! You are right! I was indeed influenced by watching that movie. I liked the way the ship looked so I built my own interpretation of it. It just doesn't quite look right to me though. Too flat. Suggestions?

Here's an alternate version of it. The orange boxes on the back are cargo containers.

[mikala]

Cool got a link?

[farcry]

In my opinion the SGC shouldnt have any spaceships at all. I thought SG-1 started going downhill once Stargate became Star Trek :rolleyes:

[Lee80]

you can add some hieght to it by indenting the outer enedge of the"scaucer"
and adding sensor pallettes and other greebles.. kinda like the side of a star destroyer...as far as making it less flat i think your on the right track with the cargo pods..you could add fuel pods or other like items...Its lookin good, :thumb:

[Ozylot]

.... Too flat. Suggestions?

....

Could use some more surface detail on the round sections, maybe some actual pannels or something. And possibly a brighter render. Just my 2c

[Vilandra]

The thread is pretty long, but in the first page/first post, you can see a huge roughdraft of the ships and their size.

Here is the link
gateworld ship scaling thread (http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=27438)

There is an argument going on about accuracy, but I think the scaling is close enough.

[Choo1701]

Same here. Back to the roots i say. 1 Stargate: 1 team. and starships that are distant and not seen. :D and the O'Neill one liners of course :flippy:

Nice ship and idea :thumb: Vilandra

[Dan]

Here's my ship that I have on another thread. It's called the Icarus.

[specs2]

The Ori ships are 20-30x the size of the Earth shisp, perhaps that should be the maximum size, especially if Earth is going to make a Ori-killer type ship.

And the Orion is about 4 times the size of the Daedalus too. Daedalus should not be considered the "maximum" size for earth ships.

not exactly. if the ori ships where that large, they wouldn't fit through the super gates and would be even bigger then wraith hive ships. reports tell, that the Ori supergate is between 300 and 400 meter in diameter. according to that and the Ori ships barely fitting through them, they are about 300 to 400 (-5m) wide and about 700 meters long.
The Daedalus is 335 meters long, 192m wide and 68 meters high. The Aurora data isn't official, but about 500 meters long and 220 meter wide.

[Nadesico]

apparently the two supergates were different sizes, and we saw in the battle in "camelot" that an O'neill class asgard ship was little more then a fighter, in comparison to one of their cruisers.

[Pearse]

I made this Asgard Shuttle design a few years back. It's pretty simplistic, but I might get around to developing it some time.

[specs2]

that camelot can't be taken for size comparison hasn't been said only once, so don't brace yourself on that.

[Dallidas]

yes camelot cant be used for size comparisons. they scaled the hataks and oniell down to make the ori ships look bigger and more menacing. they really f#$%*d it up in that episode

[freekzilla]

Here's my ship that I have on another thread. It's called the Icarus.
Great Job Dan! It looks pretty darn good. So how would you classify the Icarus? Looks like a big ship. I definitely see some old school Battlestar Galactica in the front. Keep up the good work!!!

[freekzilla]

Pearse, lookin good so far. I see some Beliskner in it for sure. Are the deck heights lower too, giving how small the ship would be? And one last thing, where are the bathrooms? They never show the bathrooms on ships! But then again, do the Asgard even need bathrooms? LOL!

[Raffs]

Heres one of mine
the Renown

[mikala]

One fine ship ya got there Raffs!
You have got to get it in a bunch more renders!
She should not sit in drydock so much of the time.

[freekzilla]

Actually, the Asgard ship present at the second Ori supergate was NOT an O'Neill class. It was actually an Asgard science vessel. Here's the evidence:

http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s9/920.shtml

Apparently, the Asgard are updating their ships. First it was the O'Neill class, then the Daniel Jackson class. So it's not a stretch that the Science vessels would be upgraded as well. Possibly the D-J class was the new science ship. This could explain why the Asgard haven't been around lately.

I thought that the Asgard ship looked a bit small too, until I read through several articles. Then it all started to make sense. I've seen it stated as such from several other places as well. I visually counted the segements of the second Ori supergate and came up with 92. The orignial Ori supergate had 80 segments.

Just my 2 cetns.

[freekzilla]

No kidding. Very nice job Raffs! Put her in for a refit? Did you forget to put in bathrooms too? :lol: I see that it is a little different than a standard Daedalus class. Is it a new class entirely, or a modified Daedalus class? You really did a good job with the surface details. Got any more ships? :thumb:

Thanks man:)
The reason for a possible refit is that she was my first mesh with lightwave and there are some parts that i could do so much better now

The old girl was ment to be the next step up from the deadalus hence she still resembles the deadalus but has bigger guns ( 4 turrets with energy based weapons and 27 quad rail gun turrets and 56 missile tubes)
as for any more ships heres some pics of my F-302

k, here are my 2 cents for a ship from the Stargate universe: Aurora (http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3d-wips/118-aurora-class-battleship.html)

thorthefifth, exactamundo! Your ship is looking very good so far. Original work is exactly what I was intending for this thread. By sharing our original works together, I am hoping it inspires everyone with new ideas and some truly great work will come out of it. I myself look to other artists and even TV/movies for inspiration. The artwork so far has been truly fantastic. And, your Hyperion has inspired one of my ships. I call it the Valkyrie, a missle cruiser. Keep up the good work thorthefifth, your work is appreciated.

[mirage]

Here is an idea that I made after the Prometheus got destroyed. I used parts from the Prometheus and the Daedalus to make a command and control ship or something like that. It's name is Enterprise and that is because General O'neill finally got his way. :D I feel kinda bad though it is not 3D and I don't really have the skills to make it in 3D. Anyways I hope that you all like it and I have bigger views if anyone wants them.

[Lee80]

intersting concept, how bout a bigger view..:)

[mirage]

As requested BIGGER view. :thumb: Hope that you like it.

[Lee80]

nice..is it finished or are you gonna keep woring on it..

[mikala]

As requested BIGGER view. :thumb: Hope that you like it.
I would take the height of the main bridge hull down a bit. It's almost as high as the ship is long. Just a thought.
I like the idea of merging the shapes of the two ships very much though.

[Raffs]

i agree with mikala also as its a C&C ship it needs to have alot of comms array's and sensor blisters :)

[mirage]

I am going to continue to try and work on it and I was kinda thinking it was a little too tall as well, but I had not decided on how I wanted to fix that yet. I almost was going to say all of the com. array's and sensor stuff was hidden inside the tower, but that would just be to easy. I love it... you all don't miss a thing... even when I was thinking it! :thumb: Anyways thanks for the comments and I will try and do some updates this weekend! :D

as far as the tower goes the shape is spot on..just scale it down about 15% and i think it would look perfect..just my 2 cents..:)

Thanks. I had the Beliskner in mind when I designed it, just a smaller version. The Asgard didn't seem to have any small craft, so I thought I'd design one. I reckon the loo's in the aft compartment. The decks are just the right height for Asgard crew(there's one little guy in the cockpit), so if any humans wanted to come aboard they'd have to crawl. :p

[Dallidas]

the tower is looking too large for my tastes

[freekzilla]

Here are some updates I have been working on. One is the Diligent, a rapid transit/courrier ship inspired from the "Wing Commander" movie. The other is a missle cruiser called the Valkyrie with inspiration from thorthefifth's Hyperion. Hope you like. Tell me what you think. Remember, these were done completely in Bryce 5.5.

Even if I haven't seen SG1 (well, the last 5 seasons, damn Italian TV!) and SGA yet...

Hi mate :)
Here's my tupence worth
1, This need to be narrower because at the moment it looks the same width as the main hull and it looks odd i know the prometheus was a chunky flying brick of a ship but the deadalus is a bit more sleek and looking at your pics the ship is more deadalus then prometheus also ithink it needs to be about half the hight for the same reason.
2, they need to be about half the hight to fit in.

About the sides, they will be armoured (some huge panels, nothing more...)

Nice little ship you got there Ramiel. Definitely has some Daedalus and Prometheus heritage. The final result will be quite interesting. One question, what is a corvette? I know it's a type of ship, but where would it fall in the ship scale as far as weapons and size, etc?

[specs2]

a corvette is a ship class between heavy fighter and a destroyer.

between, ramiel, what kinda armament do you have in mind for this baby?

Hey Raffs.. Thanks for the comments and I see what you are talking about, but I meant it too be as big as the main hull as a tribute to the Prometheus. as for the height I can shrink that down more and will give that a try. Thanks again for the comments.

About the weapons I have no idea (like I've said I haven't see the latest episodes of SG1 or SGA, unfortunately, so if you have some suggestions...)

well, standards atm are rail guns and mk5 nuklear missles, i think. at least that's what the daedalus class is armed with.

no, the gate busters are MK9s.

Doesn't the Daedalus carry MK8's as standard equipment? The MK9's are a "special" butt whooping bomb when a MK8 just doesn't cut it, right? Don't mind me, I just like large explosions. (Hense my steady diet of beans and cabbage.):runs:

[Paveway]

I just dont see earth's fleet evolving into the classic multi-class ship fleet (Battleships, cruisers, destroyers).

For one modern wet navies don't operate like that anymore, and two, the Air Force decides what it wants onboard each ship, and they will undoubtidly take non-traditional approach. Plus smaller ships will just not have the range of the larger ships, and hence a mothership type approach will probably be used. Basically a battleship carrying its own escorting small craft (be they bombers, fighters, shuttles/dropships etc)

Whatever classes that do come about will be oriented around missions, not size/how many guns. What the classes are called (Battlecruiser, frigate etc) is not really important.

I think the main warships will evolve similar to the Deadalus. She is fast, carries enough fighters for a proper air wing and carries missiles, nukes and jumpers. She kills whatever she can with beaming and nukes, unless they have shields, at which point they run away.

I think the beam nuking will be the primary weapon on all earth ships. The only advanced weaponry they need is to knock out shields, at which point the beam a nuke over strategy is played. So even if ships get big asgard energy weapons, they will still be used only to take out shields, not blow up ships. Nukes are just more efficient than a big assed energy weapon. No need for huge reactors for ship killing space guns of death. Just beam over a care package and there you have it. If she ship has shields, have your advanced weapons take out the shield generators, or possibly develop methods for the fighters to take them out, and then beam on over your checkmate box.

Ship classes I can see:
Large first rate warships (lots of everything, long range)
Smaller pocket warships (short range, lots of firepower) for system defense and in-the galaxy missions
Fighters
Human version of Jumpers and Gould shuttles for assaults (think MH-60)
Human cargo small craft (landable on the ships and surface think C-17, C-5ish)

Maybe some courier/recon ships for long range small foot print missions or such.

Sorry I started to ramble.

So even if ships get big asgard energy weapons, they will still be used only to take out shields, not blow up ships. Nukes are just more efficient than a big assed energy weapon. No need for huge reactors for ship killing space guns of death. Just beam over a care package and there you have it. If she ship has shields, have your advanced weapons take out the shield generators, or possibly develop methods for the fighters to take them out, and then beam on over your checkmate box.

Ship classes I can see:
Large first rate warships (lots of everything, long range)
Smaller pocket warships (short range, lots of firepower) for system defense and in-the galaxy missions
Fighters
Human version of Jumpers and Gould shuttles for assaults (think MH-60)
Human cargo small craft (landable on the ships and surface think C-17, C-5ish)

Maybe some courier/recon ships for long range small foot print missions or such.

Sorry I started to ramble.
or you could go with the american style carrier fleet (1 or 2 carriers and a number of support ships)

[freekzilla]

Here's the final version of the Hyperion before I begin texturing it. Glad it could have been inspiration to ya. The models here are looking great. GO FREEKZILLA!:thumb:
926192639264

Awe shucks! Thanks. My models, even though they are done in Bryce, are slowly inching up in quality. Looking back at some of my first tries, I think to myself Dang those suck. :lol: Seriously! In the last five months they've progressed from being an embarrassment to respectable.

I've been thinking about some new designs lately. Not sure how different I want to go with it.

I wish we all could put together a little battle sequence, like the ones they have at Space Battles. I think it'd be cool to see something like that, and the workload could be divided up amongst several people. It's be cool, but I think most people don't really have the time for something like that. I helped some of my college friends put together a Star Wars light sabre battle once for a school project, and I tell you the end result was pretty damn good. Ah well. It was an idea, a lofty one, but a fun one. For now, I'll keep plugging away at learning 3d Max.

Here's some ideas just in case you've hit a brain fart; like I get those every other day.

a mobile repair ship with robot arms to repair damaged Tau' ri (Earth) ships.
a Tau'ri mass evacuation ship (in case the Ori can't be stopped)
a hypothetical design of a Furling ship.
an earth based competitor to the Goa'uld Al'Kesh design
an orbital station based on earth technologies

There, that should have your mind percolating at high sub-light speeds. pmpn Keep up the good work. Your ship is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see what textures will do. Hoooaaah!

[freekzilla]

By the way, like my new avatar?

[Raffs]

Must admit i've thought about the last two surgestions in perticular the orbital station or in my case ship yard and also there someone running a thread for a redisigned puddle jumper and i thought the eary shots looked something like a backwards enginered earth version.
learn lightwave first especily if your thinking of doing anims.
oh and the avitar look good:)

[freekzilla]

Raffs, did you mean this one?

Nah, that sketch is an actual concept art for the series. But I am very glad that someone is making a 3d model of it. I just checked it out and looks good so far. I gotta give the guy credit just because he is using Blender. That program left me pulling out what little hair I have left.

[Raffs]

Yep thats the one

[Dan]

Are you guys talking about me? ;)

Here's the Puddle Jumper, like Freekzilla said it is the concept design for a Jumper.

[Raffs]

Yes we are :)
Although it's a concept when i first saw it it it shouted earth tec to me with the stuby wings.

[freekzilla]

We're just admiring the fact that you are tackling this model. Are you planning on making it able to fit through the gate as well?

I wonder if the "egg-heads" at Area-51 are putting something together that would serve the same purpose as the PJ's? The PJ's are limited in supply, but clearly, IMO , have proven to be vital to the Atlantis expedition. I mean, the end result of the PJ design was brilliant. The fact that it fits through the gate is just fantastic. The final PJ design may not be a pretty as the concept, they obviously chose function over form.

I have no idea why I am rambling so much the last few days.

[jimi kane]

I think i'll throw something in the mix here. :D Two ships, one big, one small. The big one i'll not be workin on till I finish the little one. The smaller ship is earths version of the Al'kesh, this one called PN-13. Very early stages but hopefully it wont take long to finish. :thumb:

I'm putting out a call to arms to all Stargate fans. From the casual to the "frothing-at-the-mouth" fanatic, let's make the biggest Stargate ship thread around. Let's put all the ship designs you have up, everything from a basic roughed out design all the way up to textured and shaded.

You asked, so here goes...
I don't actually do CG(I am in awe of you all who can, though...). I only make physical models.
What i am, however, is a big Stargate fan, so i have tried my hand at a few ships. I do hope this is not out of place here.
I recently made a 1/144 scale master pattern for an F-302 kit(It will be sold as a kit, and is about 13cm across (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=1096&pos=6)).
Also(For modellers who prefer big), i did a 1/24 scale (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=1088&pos=0)master of the 302 (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=1088&pos=36).
Slightly smaller, i have made a 1/2500 Daedalus to be sold as a kit shortly (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=1088&pos=2)(About 17.5cm long, before adding the antennae at the front).
And(I saved the best for last...): I have been asked to make a 1/350 Daedalus which is destined to become a model kit also.
It's going to be very big, however, so start saving up, guys (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=1096&pos=1)...:cool:

Bar, nice models! Hey, it's a model isn't it? We don't practice model discrimination here. :lol: LOL! What do you use as materials? I'd bet 5$ that you have one of those Dremel tools don't you? How long do they take to make? I wonder what it would take to make a 10 foot (3 meter) Daedalus model? :cool:

[freekzilla]

There is quite a Talented SG pool here.
Raffs your first is far better then my "now" meshes.

And all of the meshes here are better than mine. :( But that's ok, as long as people are inspired, then I'm happy.

[Bar]

Bar, nice models! Hey, it's a model isn't it? We don't practice model discrimination here. :lol: LOL!
Thank you.

What do you use as materials?
I am using sheet plexi-glass for these ones, but generally i use Sheet styrene.

I'd bet 5$ that you have one of those Dremel tools don't you?
Yes.

How long do they take to make?
It depends on how difficult the shape is. I'm hoping to have these ones done fairly fast(For the main shape), and then it's just about adding panels and greeblies until it looks like the Daedalus!

I wonder what it would take to make a 10 foot (3 meter) Daedalus model? :cool:
If i even tried that, i would be kicked out of the house...
By all means, give it a try, though...

Nicely done, though I'd give her some bigger wings coz shes looking quite sluggish or fat with the short wings.

Jimi is this a Earth version of an Alkesh?
And if so how big is it and how many guns and missiles does it carry.

D4327: dude, what is that thing, looks awsome.

Eagle: the short wings aren't for flight, they're just to keep the nukes safe before launch. :D

SADDAMINSANE: this is earths version, it has at least 12 modified aim 120missiles, 10 phalanx CIWS rail guns of various cal, 2 modified 5-54 Mark 45 caliber cannons and 4 large nuke style missiles (might make them naquahdah weapons or somethin') :thumb:

Hi all
Here's a basic mock up of the orbital deffence platform and some basic layout details.
8 twin particle weapon turrets
4 flight decks for transports, supply ships ETC
The rear structure will contain missile tubes top and bottom
C&C in the centre
and at the far end there will be some sort of super structure for a war ship to dock in order to carry out repairs
Oh and some smaller point defence guns.

Nice, with those F-302 bays you can tell its made by the Tau'ri immediatly.

I'm thinking the stuff that the arrow points at needs to be moved to the front a bit, but I'm not sure coz its very hard to get the shape right without blueprints.

Comments would be greatly appriciated.
Also anyone know if its possible to render all 4 viewports into 1 image at once?

Alanch90, the name is USS Icarus:)

looks good shiro. Lots of stars in the first pic:D

[freekzilla]

thorthefifth, looking good man. Don't worry about the texturing too much. It's not an easy thing to do. You are about a 150 gazillion steps ahead of me. It is a nice ship though. What I like most about it is that it's not a cookie cutter design and clearly your own, but still shows it's bloodlines to other Earth ships. Anyone could copy a ship, it takes REAL talent to create your own. My hat's off to you dude. :thumb:

Raffs, man-o-man, that is looking super sexy. Hmmm, I was thinking of something like that myself. Are you secretly reading my mind or something? LOL! Just kidding. I am looking forward to seeing the end result.

Eagle, very nice. Is that in 3d max right? Don't forget to name your ship. The spot where the arrow points to does need to come forward a little, but only the bottom part, so that it creates a slant back, but just a little. Looking good though.

Shiro, ok, that thing is just plain sexy. Very nicely done. Hmm, the Icarus, a companion to the Daedalus. Definitely a next gen ship. Excellent job.

Everyone has clearly put in a lot of effort and thought into their work. Your work and thoughts are respected and appreciated. Great job guys. Keep on modeling!!! :thumb:

also: couldyou post some renders that are a bit lighter?

[jimi kane]

New wings, like the f302s. Better?

[specs2]

Here is, what I'm currently working on.
In another forum, someone was wondering, what an Ori fighter craft would look like, so I gave it a try. looks a bit like a cylon raider of the new age, but I think, this ship still has a lot of its own features. still heavy WIP, so ideas on how this might look like would be cool.

[mikala]

Specs how about a dish weapon projector unit up front somewhere to tie it together design wise to its parent ship?

[specs2]

like the main weapon of the transport ships? I thought, it would be on the side arms. the glowy part of the pincers are, in my opinion a cool place for weapons.
Not sure, if a weapon like that would look suitable since most small fighter crafts have fast firing weapons and the ori main weapon wasn't exactly the fastest weapon in firing rate.

[mikala]

Yup thats what I mean.
Maybe it would fire faster if it were not the size of a house?

[cjabates]

jimi kane: looks REAL nice- can I use it for my Freelancer mod?

specs2: maybe if you flipped the 'wings' to go to the back instead of the front- to keep in line with the 'toilet bowl' big ships

[Raffs]

I was going to surgest making the back into the front but cjabates beat me to it however if you did do that then you would have the room for mekalas weapon and also the dark gray strips that run down the pincers could be the engines in the same way that the larger ship have the ring

[specs2]

i keep that in mind for a second design. kinda looks like a fish in my imagination.

[jimi kane]

cjabates: sure, but is there like a poly limit for the models? Its not a big issue (the models well low poly) :thumb:

[cjabates]

FL's poly limit is somewhere around 15-20k for a ship. If you don't have a texture for it, that's ok- I've got a graphic artist friend who's done a few textures for me.

[jimi kane]

Well im gonna texture it like a stargate ship, but if you want to retexture it thats fine. Just give me creds first dude.:D :thumb:

[jimi kane]

Finished the nukes. She can hold 5. Just a few more little details and im ready to texture (:( I hate texturing)

[mikala]

Specs2 heres what I had in mind. For an Ori fighter
Please excuse the crudeness but it's a scribble from work.

i like the concept too. it's different to mine though. I thought of going with the rough shape of my shape, so far as I have it now, and only improve it.

[mikala]

when I get home I'll play with your version.

I know it is not SGC but hey the bad guys need ships too!

now that is interesting. I like the whole idea of the pilot standing and the lack of wings. Kinda looks like a cacoon. Really hate to see one of those coming at me. Mostly I wouldn't know what to think. Great idea. I want to see that in 3D.

[cooky]

I like that design. It captures Ori ship arcitecture well, I think.

Here's a destroyer/cruiser/frigate (can't make up my mind which it should be) design I've been working on latelly.

[thorthefifth]

looks sorta like a yacht or a naval cruiser from the side view. Looks awesome. You can see the Prometheus influence in it definately. I like the prometheus much better than Daedalus so I like to see designs that incorporate more Prommy features.

i always thought the prommy was the ugliest thing ive ever seen, but it had a good reason for that, so i forgive it.:lol:

rear missile tubes done top and bottom
mid section done landing bays in place, mock up of the structure to join the landing bays to the main hull in place this part may contain zero G cargo bays for large cantainers and extending docking clamps for medium size ships but have not made up my mind yet. Also I'm after surgestions for the large ship docking area at the far end i'm leaning towards something like the shipyard in B5 a call to arms (i think it was in that film) that was a long arm with a ship on either side.

OK, here's my 3 cents.

1.) Make the fighter bays larger in comparson to the rest of the station. So that one bay takes up the entire height of the main body.
2.) add a second main body and bay
3.) make the large ship docking similar to current airport passageways. (They can extend and move around to adjust to the ship.)
4.) put in more windows in an area that is specifically a "housing" area

All in all, Sheeezaaaam that is good looking! What kind of tug you got rendering that puppy? Over 900K polys huh? WOW! Groovy!

Here's some ideas just in case you've hit a brain fart; like I get those every other day.

an earth based competitor to the Goa'uld Al'Kesh design


I don't know if this counts, but i once made a model of a ship which(In my mind), was the Tau'ri version of the Tel'Tak (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=525&pos=114).
It has massive engines, (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=525&pos=113) and cargo room enough (http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=525&pos=112)to hold a Stargate(I made panelling on the underside which represented a door through which a gate could be lifted into the ship).

[freekzilla]

ok Bar, so I'm not the only one that is doing that; answering questions with "indeed" just like Tea'lc. I actually did it twice in the grocery store the other day. The second time I caught myself doing that AND bowing my head like Tea'lc does. I think I'm addicted.

[Bar]

That's nothing:
I walk around with my hands clasped behind my back too...

Chris Judge/Tea'lc is not 6'10". But no, I can't quite go that far. And I'm a bit too pale to impersonate CJ/Tea'lc. I did shave my head once though. It didn't have quite the look I thought it would.

I went bald for a year also. It was just for a change. I was amazed at how hot my head was the whole time(I suppose hair must act like cooling fins, or something, channelling all the heat away).
Anyway...
We were talking about spaceships...

Daedalus class ship. Still needs work lighting greebles and details etc.

Some great stuff in this thread.

As for the bald thing. I've been shavin' my head for about 3-4 yrs now. Occassionally tryin' to grow it back, but it was annoying, so I went back to shaving my head.

Lovely.

Hi, what do you think about this new Goa'uld mothership class, named Scarab. Well, model is not entirely mine, Dudartist made it, but I made original concept art.

I like the design :thumb: although i think the black hull would be better in normal Goa'uld colours as that would show up the details better also if you rendered it in a space scean the hull would get lossed unless the lighting was spot on.
good work keep it up:)

Updates and a full version and SGA 3d. I really LOVE the lighting and texture on yours, you have to show me how you did it.

nice gould ship though! although it seems odd being so unbalanced. the gould designs are always (mostly) symetrical, and balanced.

[Elowan]

Thnx Raffs!

[thorthefifth]

Here you go you guys. This is the railgun Turret I have enginered for implementation on my future ship designs. 10272

Here it is on a quick fighter design somewhere between a dart and a 302. It holds max 3 folks in the cockpit. I guess that makes it more like a Jumper, but I did design it to go through the gate. 10271

Here is my current WIP I'm working on, I think I'll make this one exclusive to this thread. Until I can find it a proper name it is the BROKEN, named for my band. It can hold 6 302's per hangar. Eventually it will be able to carry a couple of Hyperion class ships.10273

that's all from me tonight, I am so glad to see the cooperation that this thread has been getting. It's been a great place to showcase your models in a friendly environment. Nice Job Freekzilla.

[SADDAMINSANE]

Good idea to make an Earth jumper ,though you could make it a bit more aerodynamic the boxy part behind the turret would produce huge amounts of drag. Though the Anchents jumper isn't exactly aerodynamic.
Can't wait to see more.

Yes, I know that flagships and Ha'tak are symetrical, but Scarab is next-generation ship. It's intention that Scarab is diferent. I want ship with pyramide,because I want some 'mythological feeling', but also ship without some 'ring' around that pyramide like in Ha'tak. However, in Scarab that pyramide can separate from 'black' aft section, just like Galaxy class in Star Trek.

[SGA-3D]

Updates and a full version and SGA 3d. I really LOVE the lighting and texture on yours, you have to show me how you did it.

You will soon be able to download it from the meshes section, as it is the one and only mesh of mine I am uploading. The textures used are included with Max, although I did make some slight modifications. I use a skylight for the ambient lighting. It may lengthen the render time slightly, but the result is worth it. Instead of using a specular map, I simply give it a high specular level, with just a little gloss to keep the spec within a small area. I use a slight bump map. I hope to have acheived an effect similar to that used on the show, however, my view on this is biased and so I'd prefer not to comment:) .

If you don't mind me saying, the only slight error I see with your Daedalus, is that the neck is too short. I needn't talk though, since I had to modify my own to correct the same problem.

[DeRo]

The Scarab makes the non-pyramid section of the ship look more like a ship and more menecing too

[-Raynor-]

My second and last ship, also I made only concept, model created by 'Timenchanter' two years ago. It's Earth next-gen ship. Remember, in 2004 wasn't Deadalus, so I imagined next Earth ship as based on Prometheus.

In front 'ball' section is reactor, in aft 'ball' section are hyperdrive and sublight propulsion.

Well, I called it Odyssey class, two years ago :-)

A basic idea of my textures, very early stages.

damn, that is a really nice ship i love tyhe new touch u added the curves and stuff the humans always seem to make rough and sharp edges

[mikala]

Well Lil Devil we use 3d programs like 3DS Max, Lightwave, Maya, XSI, Blender, Silo, Modo ....... the list is really long.
As to where you get them? Well there are internet retailers that sell most of the programs at student rates that are really quite cheap.
Blender is free and quite powerful.
Take a look for it and start modeling!

Thx and quick replied!!!! ill try making cool stuff but i dont know if im that advanced and also, how do people classify their ships in classes it confuses me i mean is there a page with standards

[jimi kane]

Fixed the text, much happier with this. :D

[thorthefifth]

Here's a tiny update to the so-called BROKEN. I added a large hangar to the front. I now have a basic idea for how large this thing will be but I don't want to even try to put it in scale yet. Trust me though this is just the beginning.
10522


P.S. the flat part there is going to be part of a much larger deck structure. This thing's gonna be big.

My Daedalus is available for download now:

Here is my addition.

My current fleet (most are 1/2 way done, and ways to go as I change them from Cinema to Blender.)

The Destiny

And size comparison. THe smaller ones are still to be adjusted to proper scale. (proper to human size and not the show)

I never realised those damned ORI ships were that big...
In the shot where we saw them being built, didn't they look smaller than that?
I may be totally wrong on this, of course...

Good beginning Grzesiek ; continue !!

[freekzilla]

Hi all :)
I'm looking at having this done by the end of the weekend so here's an update
rear missile tubes done top and bottom
mid section done landing bays in place, mock up of the structure to join the landing bays to the main hull in place this part may contain zero G cargo bays for large cantainers and extending docking clamps for medium size ships but have not made up my mind yet. Also I'm after surgestions for the large ship docking area at the far end i'm leaning towards something like the shipyard in B5 a call to arms (i think it was in that film) that was a long arm with a ship on either side.

Hey Raffs, nice. That detail is crazy! Quite inspiring actually. Would you mind if I take a try at making something like it? It won't be as good as yours, but I'd be interested to see what I could make.

[freekzilla]

Can I add my ship to the mix . The Ajax . I've been working on it for the last few weeks . All C&C welcome . It's about 90% finished .

Cheers Aben06

Interesting, very interesting. Quite nice I must add.

I actually kinda like it. It's different. In most cases, ship designs evolve over time. Surely with all the interaction with the Tau'ri, Goa'uld designs would have evolved too. Just speculation I know. But we may never know if the Goa'uld were working on something, behind the scenes so to speak.

Here's an idea, what if the pyramid was a little different, say a Mayan type of pyramid instead of the Egyptian smooth style? After all, they never explained why there were 3 ancient cultures with pyramids, Egyptian, Mayan and there are pyramids in Thailand. Could they all be related somehow? Hmmmm? :idea:

[mikala]

Hmmmm sounds like someone watched AVP.

Hey, you never know, the Goa'uld are in hiding right now. They could be working on something like that. You gotta expect that they are really P.O.'ed at us right now. They've got to be up to something.

the gould are pretty much done. almost all of their resources are gone and they have little if any jaffa loyal to them

[mikala]

Just remember it's scifi so anything can and usually does happen.

[freekzilla]

Pretty much done and completely done are two different things. If they are so bad off, then why did they send a symbiote to Atlantis inside of Col. Caldwell? They may be down, but they are not completely out. I think they'll rear their ugly little heads eventually.

i never said they were done. i said they have no armies nor resources left, therefore cannot return to full glory or even 1/4 of what they had.

plus from what the directors have said, the gould arnt a problem any more, the ori are our new threat
