Title: Azel's USS Premonition WIP
Post by: Queball on June 03, 2004, 04:41:11 pm
Hi all,
I restarted the Premonition from scratch (again) and tried to make it more like Azel's concept sketch posted here.
Although the model is for Bridge Commander, I've asked DarkMatrix if he wants to convert it to SFC once done - though I should warn - its gonna be pretty heavy graphics wise as I'm aiming for 8, 9 or possibly 10K polys with 1024maps (though 512 maps will come with the file.

Anyway here's some pics............
 
 
 

The WIP can better be followed over at this BCU thread......

thanks,

Queball. If you want something to help your reference then I've gotten my mits on a 255,000+ poly high detailed Premonition that a member of the SciFi-Meshes forum did not so long ago. Give me a yell if you want to use it.

Well I could use the textures for it as a reference but as the model goes, Executioner (EXE) has already made a CGI model based on Azel's concept which weighs in at a whopping 700,000+ polys (for pics of it see the same thread on BCU - link in my first post) so I'm using that as a main source as well as adding my own design concepts  

But yeah, send it if you can mate - it all helps!

are their any renders of the sci-fi meshes one? I wasn't aware that anyone before que and exe had modeled a prem.

The basic model is now completed with some details left to finish. While the nacelles have the same features as Azel's schematic I made them look more rounded / streamlined (still got more cuts to make to make them more rounded) and the engineering hull slighty differs in configuration - but I modeled that before I noticed the differences. I've also rounded the saucer more cuz it looked too edgey.

Anyway, here's 2 more renders for yer of the nearly completed mesh.........

Well, as you know, DM's a busy guy now that he has to sort out SFCfiles, but I'm sure he'll get to these when he can.

Funny you should say that. After discussing with one of my beta testers we decided that the Prem minus the upper pod would make an ideal design for the USS Titan.............
 

The model is now finished and ready for texturing.........

Queball. Between you and WZ, I'm having trouble keeping up with these models your both producing. Please can you give me a yell in some way once this is finished.

Lol - possibly so mate.
I may just settle on a different name for the pod-less version but I'm gonna put it to a vote on BCU - cuz some downloaders are a fickle bunch and have expressed that this shouldn't be the Titan......

MajorPayne: I'll keep you posted on the model - is WZ doing this ship too?!?

Not that i know but i don't check all the work my undead minions do, not even the Wicked ones





j/k no offence intended WZ
But I still think that MAP referes to the Azel/WZ collaberation that resulted in a (Wicked ) Titan or the total number of excellent ships he produces as apposed to WZ doing this ship (Titan wise or otherwise). Still I'm not the man himself and he's fully capable of speaking for himself (MAP too of course) so I'll shut up now

Reaper. Your correct in your assumption of my visiting this forum at least twice a day and theres nearly always something new from either of these two modellers. What can I say but gentlemen, please continue.

    It's amazing how you salvaged that design from Armada I. As for ship naming anyone can name a ship Titan, but of course only ONE should be voted on to become the "Official Originator" all others would be "varients", regardless if there are 20 of them (sometiems starfleet engineers get REALLY BORED!   "I know I can design the Titan Mark VIII !") That doesn't mean they shouldn't be made, just that you have the trendsetter and then the A,B,C, ect.. Unless the Varient ends up becomming the springboard to a whole NEW class...
