Phosna Refit

[Kevin Arisa]

I finially learned some new modeling techniques and my old Phosna shipset was the first to get a makeover.

Here is the new ship:

And the old one for comparison:

Awsome, simply awsome. I am in awe and shock as I look at this fantastic ship of yours. I am humbled. Must have more.

[Zar Alexej III.]

hhhmm even it looks good, if someone looks only at the technique.

But maybe you should look for a girlfriend, or have a discussion with her, why you have made that ship look like that :-)

Good work, but take care about that other thing ..

I totally do not get what this post is talking about. Look like what? What other thing? What do women have to do with anything? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

[Ruatha]

The instant impression of the new ship also give me the impression of a phallos symbol.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Besides from that, I think they are both good and so different that it would be a waste to loose the first, why not two different shipsets, a new one for the new ships with a new name, perhaps two related empires?

[Kevin Arisa]

Hmm. People see the strangest things. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Anyway, the new ship is closer to what I imagined the Phosna ships to look like. Therefore, if one of them is getting a rename it will be the older one. Maybe distant cousins of the Phosna, seperated by a cosmic catastrophy. Bah, I'll figure that all out eventually.

[Imperial]

the remake is remarkable--excellent, and very different- please post more if you decide to redo the whole thing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Paul1980au]

State the obvious please it looks like a PENIS - the correct medical term for it lol. Still its a very good 3D ship set good work.

[DeadZone]

I was SSSOOOOO about to say that rofl

[Raging Deadstar]

Ok....so it does look kinda like that. But if anyone thinks It REALLY looks like that needs to see a doctor quick...or a biologist http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But dam is that impressive. Your shipsets have been great so far. The shipset you called the "Eneron" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif was good as well, if not complete.

The older vessel could be a fighter?

Very good work!

[Ragnarok]

Awesome looking set! I look forward to seeing the rest when it comes out.

[Deathstalker]

Very very nice. Will be great to behold the completion of the set. Are they a carnivore plant type or more like the Floral Empire?

[Kevin Arisa]

Using the old set as fighters is an interesting idea. If i lose inspiration that would be one of my backup plans. And as for the "unusual" similarites of my ship, that is entirely dependant on the viewer and i cannot emphasise enough how unintentional it was.

Anywho, the Phosna are very similar to the United Flora. Phosna are super peaceful and serene. Unless you mess with the environment. Then they become evironmental extremists and will kill you for even suggesting to burn a forest. Not to mention they are very religious. Shipset will be finished as soon as possible. However, it will not be neo-standard. I ran out of ideas for the ships. sorry. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Sorry about the Eneron not being completed. My computer crashed and I was never able to, eh, "aquire" the use of that modeler. My current modeler is incompatible with my old files so no finishing for them. They could be next in line for a refit, however. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Here is the Phosna race emblem:

Amazing how this topic has gone from A new shipset to penises, back to shipset and race emblem, and now we are starting on food

But back on topic...What program are you using to create these sets? I still cannot get over how much detail is in them. Keep up the great work!

[Kevin Arisa]

I am using Rhino 3D. I like it because it is really easy to use. My models really aren't all that special. I can think of a lot of other shipsets with more detail than mine. I think that most of the detail is actually coming from the textures. In these models I am actually using textures from real vegetables. Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, clover, tree bark, cantelope, etc. It really brings out the veggie-ness in the models. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[cshank2]

They mean it looks like a penis.


Looks good otherwise.

I haven't used it in along time but I remember that I loved it but never could bring myself to shell out that much cash when it would just be for horsing around with stuff. Eventually I may buy it though.

I don't care if the ships aren't that complex, they look Great, and thats all that matters when it comes to shipset design in my books.

[Kevin Arisa]

I finished the infantry model. It turned out better than I ever thought it would. I am really proud of this one. Looking back to my old one I had quite a laugh. I cant believe I released that ugly thing Online. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Sometimes a shipset is only a shipset and a cigar is only a cigar.

Great ship set.

Edit; was concerned people might think I was denigrading the set. I love it.

I tried experimenting with radial arrays and I came up with this cool design.

These are phenomenal! Excellent job!!

Whew! All done. You can download it from the following location. Remember children, veggies are good for you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Side note: The AI files are customized for my Eclipse Mod so if you want to use them in a stock game you may want to transfer over the United Flora AI files or something.

[Aiken]

One of the greatest organic races ever seen.Superb!

[Gryphin]

Plase: What do I use to open RAR and where do I find it?
Thanks

[Alneyan]

Winrar is able to handle RAR files. You should be able to download it here (http://www.rarlab.com).

[DeadZone]

Got to admit man, you have a talent doing these

[astruskustuvas]

Yep you are good.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Kevin Arisa]

Thanks everyone. Just to warn you, any more compliments and my head is likely to get so big it will float off by itself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Kevin Arisa]

I thought I would also point out that I uploaded some Star Trek races to my website that I have kept forgetting about. They are from Starfleet Command 3. Just hop over to my site using the link in my sig if you are interested.

[Captain Kwok]

Really nice work. What tools do you use?

[Kevin Arisa]

Rhino 3D and Photoshop. Although for this set very little Photoshop was required.

[jeffel]

Sorry to dig up the past, but I remember looking at this ship set and wanting to try using it. The only problem is I just came back here and the links are broken.

Does anyone know of an updated link?

[Atrocities]

The forum was updated. I honestly do not know about the links, but you can do a search for the ship or whatever if you know the name.

[Atrocities]

Or just email Kevin, he is still around.

Sweet. I had run through all the links on the "Newbies read this", but hadn't found it.

Thanks for the update everyone.

Wow. I havent seen this thread in a while. But, yeah, I'm still around. Lurking in the background as usual. But now I must retreat for fear of the light. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
