New UNSC Ship Set

[Urendi Maleldil]

This is the cruiser. I'm working on the textures right now. I wanted to get some input.

[Atrocities]

AWSOME LOOKING! SImply AWSOME LOOKING.

[Ed Kolis]

Cool! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Ragnarok]

Very Nice!

[PvK]

Very nice!

[Azselendor]

Excellent, I actually like the texture as it is right now!

[Ragnarok-X]

Looks pretty fine and realistic ! Please be so kind and give a little bit more lighting to the images.

[Urendi Maleldil]

More light? A-okay.

I'm thinking about making the Colony Ship like the Valley Forge from the movie "Silent Running"

[Caduceus]

Reminds me a bit of the ship in the Battlestar Gallactica miniseries (the colony ship). Would look good though.

[Atrocities]

Wasn't this ship in that Bruce Durn (sp) Movie Silent Running?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

It's in both. One of the special effects guys was involved in both and re-used stuff, or so I've heard.

[Urendi Maleldil]

In Southeast Asia we'd call that sort of thing bad karma.

[Ed Kolis]

Looks like the LEXX to me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Urendi Maleldil]

Here's the colony ship. The domes aren't done and I think I'll add some fuel tanks and stuff.

[Ragnarok-X]

Pretty awesome. It looks really like it belongs to the same fleet. GREAT !

[Captain Kwok]

You may want to shorten the length of the colony ship in order to keep the details in the portrait image.

Final Colony Ship:

I'll just change the angle of the camera to make it all fit when I shring the images down to SE4 size.

[Ragnarok-X]

Pretty awesome. A suggestion though, give the water sections within the sphere a little bit more "blue" or a "brighter" blue. I think that will make i t better. In addition, what programm are using ?!

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Neat. Greeny-blue on the water would imply algea.

[Urendi Maleldil]

Umm. It's supposed to be grass and stuff. Maybe I'll add in a few trees so it doesn't look like water.

I'm using a combination of Moray and POVray 3.5

[gregebowman]

Looking good. As my son would say, "neato".

As far as Silent Running, yeah they used that model (or the CGI equivalent) in both the original series and the new one. Guess you can't let a good model die. As a matter of fact, I think that in the original series they just about used every sci-fi model ever used in a movie (except for Star Wars).

[Caduceus]

Great looking colony ship. I like the teeny UNSC on the front bow

[TurinTurambar]

Very pretty ships. I like the nostalgic Saturn Rocket nosecones.

[massmanfun]

That is a COOL looking ship!!
Let me know when the whole ship set is available.

Is this race any relation to the UNSC found in the sci-fi miniatures game Full Thrust by Jon M. Tuffley? If so, then are you going to make the NAC or ESU or FSE ships as well?
I've played around with building an NSL fleet, but I've yet to finish it.

[Urendi Maleldil]

Sorry. I don't even know what Full Thrust is.

UNSC = UN Space Command

[General Woundwort]

Full Thrust is a minatures space combat rules set. Pretty good one too.

[Urendi Maleldil]

Here's my first fighter design. I'm not quite satisfied, but it looks cool. I haven't finished texturing it yet.

If people like it or I'm lazy I'll leave it in.

[NullAshton]

They loook like something NASA would build.

[Ragnarok-X]

pretty good fighter. I would suggest making the cockpit section smaller compared to the engine section.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Neat. Maybe not a cockpit, but something to make it look more neat.
