The whole fraking fleet (BSG fleet in all its low-poly glory)

[Coxxon]

Well it started with the Viper Mk II and blowed up big into 24 ships from the new Battlestar Galactica series.


See link below for 80+ closeup images of the various ships.

[mirage]

Wow... looks great. My only thought is that the "ring" ship is bigger than it should be. According to SCI-FI you are correct, but in the show it never looked that big... at least I didn't think so... could be wrong. Anyways very impressive ships!! :thumb:

[spiff628]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BluebloodUK]

*a mass of expletives that convey the awe I feel*

[B.J.]

SWEET JESUS! You did all this yourself?!? That's some impressive work!

So that's what Cloud 9 looks like? I never could get a feel for that ship from the short clips they had in the show.

I also noticed in the Photobucket files that you added your own livery for the liner. Nice!

[blakbyrd]

Very nice. :)

[Endeavour]

Wow! That's cool. But shouldn't the Basestar be bigger than Pegasus?

[Unimatrix01]

wow. I must say this is impressive. Most impressive. Are you going to put this mesh up on SFM? Everyone would love it.

[LoneFalconmx]

Wow! That's cool. But shouldn't the Basestar be bigger than Pegasus?
I have the same question

[chrisbarnett20]

what about side views?

[Endeavour]

what about side views?
Or, better yet, orthos of all. Please :)

[AldrikG]

WOW!!!!
That is fantastic!
I mean seriously... FANTASTIC!!!

[SmokinMonkey]

hey mate thats some great work you have done there :thumb:

Did you have references for that cylontransport or whatever shippy? Never seen one in 3d and yours is great!

[Choo1701]

crap....i lost my jaw....gimme a sec (p.s: your missing the Enterprise :D ;) :p )

seriously: how long did that all take you?

[Lonewriter]

Super job! You should be working on the game that those guys are making using the freespace engine.

[cobywan]

They already know about it. Everyone, even the main mod guy are ALL drooling over this work. Very well done sir.

[Roliba]

Simply STUNNING work ,sir. You do yourself great credit.:thumb:

[Ramiel]

This fleet will be perfect for a HUGE space battle!:shiner:
Great job on those meshes!:thumb:

[JeffrySG]

hoooollllyyyyy frackkkkkinnnn crap.... that's amazing!
After you render out a Huge space battle like Ramiel asked for, can you post some wires of your meshes? Very slick work!!!!

[Lt. Cannonfodder]

Well, the ships may not be 100% accurate (yeah, I'm anal about such things :p ) but it's still very impressive work.

[vf-1msx]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love it:thumb: :thumb:

[FFG-142]

That is insanely amazing....
Hahaha...first post, but I signed up months ago.....

[Star Dragon]

Coxxon,

#1 glad news of your work travels fast (heard about you on Dynaverse), it made me reregister.

#2 Can we fly them and blow them up!??!?! (please... :( )

[AndyM]

Someones been busy, great work ........

[Larsen]

Impressive work mate... now show us what you had in mind when you modeled these babies:devil:... animation!?!

[Maverick Eagle]

yes please animation....


Holy Frack!!:o thats amazing that you did all of that... great job.. just one thing. where is the enterprize?:D

[Tveakk]

May i get a closer look at the cylons Ship (star)

[firekite]

:o oh my fraking god!!!!!!!!!!! this is beyond words:thumb: :cool: kind of cool. thank you for sharing this with everyone

[Solstyce]

Great work, I am from the HW2 BSG mod and we would like to know if you are going to make those ships available to Mods? We have a few of the models but man you have the full set and they are quite amazing.

With that kind of work, come join the team!

Anyway great work keep it up. If you are interested in putting those ships into the mod come visit us here.

[Lord Zeruel]

I like it. There are a few scale issues, but overall it looks really good.

[TheDys]

That amazing! Is there any chance of this being released at some point in the future?

[williethefool]

Great Work!
It must have taken a very long time to complete all those ships, and I love
the work you have done on the Cylon Heavy Raider ( you would be amazed by all the people out there that are looking for references to do that model.

[Nutsy]

very good low poly modeling work. but i have to admit the lighting and the textures dont seem as good as they could be.

There too clean for a start.

Right you need to get a new web host. As your current webhost trys to force spyware software into the visiting persons PC... It also gives lots of popups trying to get you to install the program. And each time you select cancel it trys to load its self again. So dont post websites like that and get yourself a new host. As if you keep things that way you will never produce the publicity you need to keep your mod going.

[Coxxon]

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm glad you liked them.

I actually built the Mk2, BSG, Raider and a few others way back in the fall of 05, but then back in May 06 I finally starting modeling again after a several month hiatus from them, starting with the Mk7. After that it was about 16 ships done in 8 weeks. whew.

As for the scale, while about three of em have pretty much speculative sizes, the rest are based off available measurements, and screen cap comparisions with other ships in the scene. (The Pegasus is big, but no it's not that big, And the Park ship is.) But then again size of vehicles in SF are always a bit conflicted.

I'm sorta planning on using them in a mod for the new Star Trek legacy game or one of the newer FPS. So I probably won't be releasing them to the public - at least not at the moment.

I've gotten several requests to use them in space based RTS mods, but even though these models are low poly compared to what most people here do (and certainly for film and TV use) they are still too big (too many polys) for stuff like HW, SA2 or SC. That's kinda why I'm waiting to see what the new ST Legacy game will be like.

Also some people have requested orthos or side views. I'll have to see what I can get up as time permits, but I do hope to update with more pictures in the future.

[EvilleJedi]

Hw2 can easily handle models in the 10K-20K range and especially in the case of BSG where the number of large ships is low. The viper mkII I made for solstyces mod is around 4K polys at its most detailed lod. I know that Beyond the Red Line for Freespace SCP has a galactica that is up in the 25K range (modelled all the ribs and major panels)

btw I love the detailing on the fleet ships, most people never put the effort into civie vessels, great work.

[Safe@2nd]

Nicely done!!

Like EvilleJedi said, not a lot of people put much emphasis on civy ships let alone fleshing out the whole fleet like you did. There are a lot of other venues that would benefit greatly from this kind of treatment.

I'm interested in the new Trek game too. Not 'cause I'm a huge Trek fan, just because it's a chance to get to see all the ships from the various shows together in one place.

If it fits your needs, I'd definitely like to see your mod!

[Solstyce]

Well we know HW2 can handle them or i wouldnt have asked, heh, like EJ said those ships are super sweet and great detail. I hope you change you mind and release them because they would go along way to giving the BSG community some great mods. As far as our website we are in the process of working up a new host. So give us a break we used what we could to get started.

[Star Dragon]

I also hope they become available in the future. Incidently FS2's Galactica is over 37k and Pegasus is around 60k ATM (In game).

Just as references, they would go a long way in helping others figure out how a mesh is supposed to look.

[Darth Malice]

I meant to comment the first time I was in here but it appears I didnt for some reason.

Anyway nice job there Coxxon. Its real cool to be able to go to one thread and find all the ships you wanted to see. I love the name of the thread too, "The whole fraking fleet"... Hehe its gotta be a crowd puller. Keep up the good work...:thumb:

[Starship1405]

So what's the ship, next to Colonial One, that looks like a group of silos?

[score1_uk]

spot on work, check up pm's!!

Coxxon, you need to check your PM's and email. I sent you an email back about 3 weeks ago and still haven't got a reply. I sent you a email this morning hoping to get through to you.

nice fleet work .

*( stares in wonderment )

[Coxxon]

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.

After numerous requests I've uploaded the models to the following link.
They are .3ds files with jpg textures. You may need to relink the textures to the meshes.

Have fun, give credit, and make something cool with em. :thumb:

Now if I can just finish building all the characters. :)

[Coxxon]

So what's the ship, next to Colonial One, that looks like a group of silos?

Don't know its name. I just call it the silo ship. It is first seen from the underside real quick as it flies over the doctor's office with Rosalyn in the mini. It also appears in a few scenes in the series as a background ship.

[Berticus]

Fabulous work, mate... Some of the better 'low poly' modeling I've seen.

I look forward to other WIP's from you.
-albert

[Stev0]

I could SOOOOOOO make those into paper models and the creations could be held in hand... although the larger ships would end up bed sized. =O

[Doble]

Thats some great work to have completed everything, nice job, they look awesome :D

- Doble

[Greathor]

Thank you Coxxon for uploading the ships :)

[chrisbarnett20]

Any chance of Jpeg images? - don't have 3ds.

[haggel21]

WOW!!!, YOU EVEN PUT THE CLOUD NINE IN THERE!!! WOW!!!...its amazing, really, very good.

[mikala]

Nicely done! I can see these popping up in game mods everywhere very soon.

[Majestic]

The Battlestar Armada mod group are using alot of the models I believe. I myself will be using some of the textures as they are just outstanding.

[Animaniac]

Thanks for releasing your Fleet Coxxon!:thumb:

[Freak]

Sweet Jesus that Is freking assume!

[Animaniac]

Yes, absolutly awesome work on the Textures of this Low-Poly Beautys!:thumb:

[Coxxon]

Thanks everyone.

I've been going back as time permits and doing some touch up work on them. Had to fix the wings on the Viper II, plus some other stuff on various ones.

I've also been working on an original design of a light bomber. I'll try to get some shots up once I've got it textured.

[AndyM]

Thank you for making them available, as 'Animaniac' said, textures are awesome.

A.

[Majestic]

I look forward to your bomber Coxxon, is it Cylon or Colonial? :D

[alt1701]

Great stuff, your the best!

[haggel21]

It is really impressive, I especially like the cloud nine model it looks very good, and it is actually not that easy to draw, there are very few pics out there and all my sketches have been made taking images from the show itself. This is very nice, very, very, very nice, congrats.

[girion590]

Great images dude!

I'm a plastic modeller and a scratchbuilder and I'm wondering if you have any schematic diagrams or blueprints for the viper MkII. I'm building the MkII in styrene plastic and maybe the Galactica as well in the future. Could you direct me to inet sources and data files for the Viper???? It would really help me at my projects. Thanks! Love your work!

Keep it up!


Happy hunting:flippy:

Just out of curiousity, where would the original Galactica fit in size-wise (is this a word) with the new fleet. I'm wondering because I've seen several references to how big it was and they vary quite a bit.

[Jaybats]

thanks for releasing your models, coxxon! they're really great, and a lot of work, i'm sure.

[Grzesiek]

Impressive collection. The textures really bring out the meshes... I so need to learn how to texture :P..

Can't wait for your next project.

[Lord_Trekie]

These models are amazing coxxon, I plan on using your Galactica texture for a Colonial Supercarrier.

[Majestic]

Glad you found it Trekie.

[Jaybats]

thanks to coxxon's models, i was able to texture the free Battlestar Pegasus and Viper Mk. VII cardtoys i've designed. see here:

[SKUPILKINSON]

I've just noticed and read through this thread and I've been thinking that these meshes and textures are crying out, "PAPERMODELS!"

Coxxon, I sent a pm earlier. Ignore it as I managed to download them in the end. Fantastic! Great meshes and superb textures. Colonial one and the Raptor in particular look great. Not that any don't look great but these two caught my eye, probably 'cause they're two of my fav designs anyway.

Keep it up buddy.:thumb:

I'm curious, do any of the meshes have intersecting parts? I've designed a few papermodels in the past and think these would look great. If that's cool with you???

[SKUPILKINSON]

Now I remember you, you're Jay of "Jay's Box of Sci-Fi CardToys" right? I'm downloading your new selection now.

I was going to do some of the ships you have, started a few too. Oh well, no need now.

Well done buddy.

[dnkids]

Excellent work. You should write a tutorial on making textures...Wow!
Btw, is there a specific texture for the railgun mesh?

[GKan]

wow this fleet is really impresive !!
great work

[SKUPILKINSON]

The texture for the Railgun mesh is the Galactica texture I think. Either that or the Pegasus.

I opened the meshes in Deep Exploration and applied the Battlestar (whichever one it was) texture to the railgun.

[Elowan]

I have DE 3.54. How do you add textures in that app?

[dnkids]

@SKUPILKINSON, Thank you!!!

[SKUPILKINSON]

Mine's the 4.0 version, I just double click on the object. Then a mini screen pops upcalled properties of object ..., select materials, double click the texture of object name in the list. Than a new mini menu pops upcalled material properties. Double click "diffuse", then select the material/texture. It applies it.

I think you can select other options besides "diffuse", I'm still new to the program but it is really good.

You can get a 30 day trial from the Right Hemisphere site.

[SKUPILKINSON]

Sorry, double posted.

[hawkbs]

Many many thanks Coxxon from the fans in the X3 Reunion Community.

[Coxxon]

:thumb:
cool. It's nice to see them being put to good use.

Lol, I might have to load X3 and some of the other games back on to my computer that people are using the models in.:)

[Safe@2nd]

I love seeing complete pictures showing all off a certain fleet, and your work is exceptional.

Have you considered doing an overlap, so to speak, with ships from the original series? Not like you don't already have your hands full with this massive undertaking. So don't consider that a request, just a question.

Grzesiek's Stargate ships of the line thread is similar and I'm a big crossover fan (yes I know that's taboo but everyone has their vices right?) , so I think a combined picture would look fantastic. Something to think on.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you for the release of your models.....We got them working perfectly in Battlefield 2....The mod name is (BSG-75 (http://www.battlestar75.com)) We would love for you to play this when it`s done.....It`s a FPS game with the abillity to land and play ground infantry or just take off in a differant ship! We also modded the BF2 engine to give us true zero-G flight physics for viper vs. raider dogfighting....Please visit us at BSG-75 (http://www.battlestar75.com) to check out some screen shots.... And thank you again!!!! OH,we also added an FTL jump system to jump yourself or the entire squad of ships......

Phenominal, i've just been going through these meshes.

Brilliant!

[bsg recon]

Fantastic, Awesome Coxxon

[Mr. Extrude]

great stuff, you hardly see that they are low poly, how high is the polycount of these? did you consider to work that into some game-engine?

[Elffin]

Really like what you've done in the updated pack - :thumb:
Just wondering, have you created any of the stations, Anchorage or the Armistice station?

[Sastrei]

Coxxon, any chance of releasing the bump maps for more of the ships like you have with Pegasus in this latest pack? Galactica at the least?

Your models are awesome, I've learned alot about modeling and mapping studying them.

-Stefan-

[hal]

^Er, they are pretty easy to make yourself.

[Skeletor]

wow peggy is HUGE compared to the rest of the fleet.

[Sastrei]

I know, that's why I already made one for Galactica and used it to tweak the texture to make it look more like the Zoic textures that are floating around out there. However it's not a true bump map, since it has details like lighting that shouldn't be on a bump map. I assume Coxxon generates his straight from his original layers, not from the composited textures.

-Stefan-

[PainthatImausedto]

Awesome set of models. Really outstanding work you've done... and thank you so much for sharing the with all of us.

One question? In the second version pack, what are the textures for Starbuck and other characters for? Should we anticipate some more releases in the near future?

Thanks again - these are really great!
