Title: Old fleet rehash. Yet another creative rant by the FoaS
Post by: FoaS_XC on July 02, 2007, 11:52:00 pm
Just a preliminary design

I am pleased with how much better it looks compared to the old stuff.

Blech.

Anyways, yeah, so This is just a prelim in order to get a feel for this particular design ethos. I doubt this will make it as a final model, but it was a good technique builder.
What's cool too is besides the fins, the entire model is solid, nothing overlaps no open holes, no intersections.

Please release these. SFC needs Star Bases for the non-federation races desperately.

Qapla'

despite the popular notion - these arent starbases (though, i imagine if you really want it to you can make it one).

I would prefer someone else texture them, because I think that an outside perspective could bring a totally different depth to a model. In other words variety via collaborations are great.
That being said, is there anyone who wants to texture these bad boys?

if its not a starbase, the antenna on top of it make it look like one.

so what is it then?

Oh, its a ship.

Think along the lines of the Goa'Uld from Stargate, or the Triaxians from SFB. They are radially symmetrical and don't have a "Forward" they kind "Slide" in any direction basically.

Reminds me of the interior of Iselorn fortress from Legends of Galactic Heroes...

What type of textures are you planning to give it?

I was dollowing this when you posted it over at Sci-fi Meshes you also had a more textured version what happened to it?

A crash.
I thought I backed it up. I was wrong, lol.

Wouldn't it be interesting to have this ship flying at an angle, rather than flat and on a plain?

Would be cool if it could rotate too, but ahh well :)

Had simular problems myself. Pity though as I liked how that version was going.

Not to worry - I'll make it again, but better.
