Rendered straight out of 3dsmax Mental Ray (no post work). Normally I would render seperate passes, but wanted to see what I could do with just the renderer.

So I made up a research division of a generic Federation-like government that gathers and studies derelict space craft.

I'll be dumping ships here as I get around to working on them.

The first is one that looks like a clump of salt crystals. It's a bit bland at the moment.

Video Copilot used a plasma grenade in one of their tutorials. I thought the design was cool, and wanted something like that for my movie project, so I decided to model my own based on the screen shots I saw. I think it turned out well. Let me know what you think!

I may change the PL & LM so they match (easy fix, text tool in Photoshop and re-save), but when I made the textures I decided to match the original at the time. I'm using the Hawk symbol (based off Dune 2000) to represent the "good guys" in my movie project (I modeled the one in my avatar).

I've been lurking on the forums here for the last few months, and the amazing work here has inspired me to get off my rear and do some modeling again. Let me start off with saying that I haven't seriously modeled anything in about 10 years, so I'm re-learning as I go.

On to the ship! I wanted to create a smaller fighter-type craft that could fit in with the Corellian line of ships (Millennium Falcon, Corvette, etc). Hopefully I've gotten that down. However, I'm still tweaking the design as I go.

This ship is a 1-2 man ship (still deciding on that), that's primarily a heavy assault/bomber (think B-Wing).


Here are some WIP shots:


The cannons on the front are going to be replaced by recessed missile/torpedo tubes. I might put a turret on top for the main guns.


Starting on the engine greebles


More engine work


Some panel work

The Astromech is probably out of scale, and might be replaced with a turret


The main cabin will be resemble the Falcon's cabin, but scaled for 1-2 people.



Let me know what you think. I'm open to design changes/modeling tips.

Some time ago There was a fully operational site called Airigami.net which offered a whole slew of card passenger Jet airlines. One of which is the Pepsi Concorde and I have been searching for it for years and been wanting it for years and I could come up with nothing but pictures of peoples builds.

What I want is the sheet that has the plane on it. I can do the rest as far as printing, cutting, Gluing, taping, E.T.C. Heck I have kept a corner of my ceiling vacant for this plane for many years as well.

I found the general place where it would be but it went 404 and if it was not 404 I probably would not have been able to download it. GRR
Here is the link so you will see what it is that I am talking about
http://web.archive.org/web/200502230.../airfrance.htm

aside from the Concorde I am wondering if any one here has any thing from Delta Airlines which I want the whole kit and kabootle that is made from the same guy James Messner who ran Airigami?

Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Alex

{edit}

Okay I found some concord's but not the Pepsi concord. Which right now I am feeling like Mario with a toad saying that the princess is in another castle. T_T

Here's the three of them and perhaps if you are better than me at photo editing maybe you can take the blank template of it and make that in to a Pepsi concord 8)

If all else fails I could e-mail them to you so that way you could have them.

Now let's work on getting the Pepsi Concord.

Thanks for your time and help.

Found this while surfing the news.

Also ran across an ambitious thinker some of us might agree with:
Building a real-life Enterprise?

I certainly think that we need to think a bit bigger if we're to get anywhere 'out there'. The privatization of space may or may not be a good direction, but it's clearly led to the first progress in manned spaceflight in decades. Sure, it wouldn't be THE Enterprise without warp drive, shields and artificial gravity, but some would argue we wouldn't have HAD a space race without science fiction.

I find it a little sad that I couldn't name one person I know who ever wanted to be an astronaut. Certainly not with the space program as it has been.

Hmm, interesting idea for a show that someone might enjoy... a fauxumentary about building the next-generation space program. Assume some reasonable advancements that look likely in the near future, such as quantum FTL communication, but not unobtanium like artificial gravity. ]]> General Discussion andar_b http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?78940-Nice-reference-photos-of-Earth-and-a-RL-Enterprise-!

This is something I'm still working on, but its finished enough to call it "Finished"

Its hand painted, and I replaced or added a few parts using aluminum tubing and brass wire. I also shave all kinds of rivets off it, as the stock model looked like it was suffering from Measles or Chicken Pox, or something.

Believe it or not, that camo job works. I'll eventually try posting some pics of it in terrain later. Anyways...let me know what you think.

today i want to one of my Fav Ships, which i seen on the 8. Season of SG1.
That ship what i mean has no correct name so i called ist Replicator Mothership.
This is the Ship which made Five/Replicator as a Mobil Headquarter which was Built in the Timechanging Gadget (dont know the English NameXD)

This Mesh isnt finishes yet, i have to add more dateils in some Area, but i think i looks good so far.
But i have one question, i need a Mentor in 3ds max for Rendering in Mental Ray or Something like that, cuz i render this witz Skylight and Shadows, and it need over 2 Hours to look like this.
I saw many Vids, in which was made good renders in some seconds/minutes.
Anyone want to help me with that?^^

Heres the First Pic in the Attachments.


German Translation ( or in this Case, the Original Text for worse english speaking People ;) )

Hallo Freunde des Modelling und Scifi suchtens,
heute möchte ich euch eins meiner Lieblingsschiffe zeigen, welches aus der 8. Staffel SG1 stammt.
Das schiff welches ich meine hat leider keinen richtigen Namen bekommen, so werde ich es einfach Replikatoren Mutterschiff nennen.
Das Schiff wurde von einem Replikatoren Kollektiv gebaut welche durch Fünfter und dann Replikatoren Carter angeführt wurden. Es wird wohl als Mobiles Hauptquartier genutzt welches in der Zeitverzerrungsmaschine gebaut wurde.

Hier im Anhang findet ihr das erste Bild davon.
