OK, started working on this, and can tell this is gonna be a big one...just this basic shape is coming at 1077 polies and there's still a lot to do, but.... ;D Remember, this is just the basic design...details come a little later. ;)
-
Isn't this the 2nd Stargate model you've done ?
I hope this one turns out as good or better !
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Sweet!
Maybe its about time i got out the old Stargate model that i made.
-
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
and that's all I'm saying to that.
-
Awesome also i think the sticking up part at the front is directed to one side
-
Thanx!! ;D
I'll chk my ref's, see if I need to angle that thing some. ;)
-
Just a quick note...no work on model today as I had PT (Professional Torture :P) and really feeling it...in a very bad way. Hopefully I'll be able to do some more tomorrow.
-
Sandman ... you take care bud .. we understand.
-
How's it coming?
-
[chant] update update update update [/chant]
-
OK sorry about the delay...PT really messed me up. :( Anyway, I've gotten a little more done, up to 3500+ polies and still have the engines and detailing. :P
-
cool ... starting to take shape !
-
3500 polies, eh? Good thing I got me a fast machine.... I must have this ship, high poly or not!! Just not low poly.... :P
-
3500 polies, eh? Good thing I got me a fast machine.... I must have this ship, high poly or not!! Just not low poly.... :P
what the heck? 3500 is actually rather low poly and considering the amout, sandmans doing a pretty good job really :)
-
When I played on a 500Mhz machine, that was high..... not anymore. ;D
-
True ...
Most computers now come with mother boards that are superior to the vid cards that we use to buy.
I would say as long as the model is at or about 6500 or less it should be fine. Nanner told me what the average was on some in the GAW MOD. Seems like it was at or about that range. ( I might be wrong so don't hold me to that too firmly).
I know someone is working on the Fed AAC for me right now ... and as long as it is under 7k when done (with all the needed details) ... that will be fine with me. ( And if it goes over ... I'll not scream either).
Point is .. a lot has changed in the last 2 years. And in about another 6 months (or less ) there will be another significant change in the way PC's run. I have been looking at one of the new systems already. They flatly kick some serious booty !
-
Bump !
I'd kinda like to know where you are on this one Sandman !
(Since we'd like to have BOTH of your SG models)
-
how is she going?
-
Sorry for the delay in responding...my sessions of pt have messed me up bad, but I'm ready to sit down and work on it some more. Damn bad back. Get re-evaluated in a month to figure out if pt is working or if need surgery...hopefully it'll be done by then lol. ;D
-
bummer about your back pains hope the docs sort it out for ya, awesome work on the Daedulus by the way, but again hope the back gets better or something is sorted out for ya its no way to live being in agony all the time, trust me i know due to my illness that i have called Haemophilia(the long life one) either way getter better soon Sandman and take your time and rest :)
-
OK, here's a little more, coming in at 6630 polies...let me know if you want the greebles meshed or textured, because meshed will probably throw her up over 10,000 polies. :P Let me know what you think.
-
good detail bud !
good to see you are up and going again ( and hopefully feeling better )
(please check PM)
good stuff ... you really are doing much better in your modeling sir !
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Greebles.... those are the guns, right? If they look good, texture 'em on.
-
do both, a high poly version and a low poly version.
-
Wasn't gonna say that, but, what the hey, do 'em both! ;D
-
Thanx guys!!
Actually the greebles are the raised panels...in other words the details lol. ;)
-
OK, a little more detailing...
-
Nice, can't wait!
-
Rock on Dude !
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Thanx guys!! ;D
Started on some of the mapping. One weird note...at present config. it comes in at 7705 polies when it's an editable mesh...but only 4130 as an editable poly. I wonder if I convert to mod from poly if it will keep the lower poly count? :-\ I'm using MAX5 btw. Would be a cool way to lower polies if it does. ;)
-
very nice dude ;)
-
wow, im impressed. looking very cool.
-
Well, here's a pic of a little texture work. I decided to try texturing in the panels...looks pretty good so far, just need to adjust and tweak. ;)
-
Keep it comming bud !
-
*drools*oh crap thats my ninth bucklet lol, awesome as always sandman, take care tho
-
Thanx guys!! ;D
I'm just glad y'all are giving me time...my back is getting better (well, less painful, still have to be careful...doc I have now is rehab. specialist and don't believe in pain meds :P), I do a little every day but only post when I have a good update. Speaking of which...check back later. ;D
-
take care bud ... keep doing what ya can ! We appreciate your efforts.
GL with the on-going struggle getting your back fixed-up.
-
You are the master of stargate models bro, great job... keep it commin! ;)
-
hehe i would love mitchell to say "hallowed be the Daedalus" during a ship battle lol, totally awesome sandman
-
Thanx! ;D
OK, did some more...this thing is so detailed it takes forever to do...but that's ok, it's a fun one to do. ;D Just so you get an idea, it took 6 hours total to mesh, and the texturing so far has taken about 8...just for the nose, lol. :D
Anyway, here's some pics...
-
What's the point of having a WIP sub-board if it isn't used? Sorry to be a bit OT, but it really bugs me.
-
LOL ... and some people would gripe even if you hung them with a new rope !
-----------
Sandman ... great job bud !
-
Thanx Buzz!! ;D
Smiley, I just got used to posting in regular model forum so I still post that way. Oh well, such is life. 8)
-

-
OK a little more...taking shape nicely IMHO. ;)
(EDIT) Forgot to add the bottom view. :P

Thanx!! ;D
Don't worry, I will finish this one. :P Gonna do some more work later today or tomorrow, so keep an eye out for update. :thumbsup:
-

-

:rockinband: :rockinband:
:singing: :singing:
-
Looks exceptional Sandman. Have you also considered the high poly model for further texture reference?? Its located on the lightwave groups website.
-
Thanx!! ;D
I have pics of the one Ed Giddings did, that I chk for some things, but, trying not to re-do someone elses work. :P Also, have to try and make it more like my Prometheus, since they're supposed to be sister ships. :skeptic:
-

SWEET !
good to have ya back bud !!
-
WB Sandman !!!!, I hope everything is ok in R/L for ya now and your back is ok. Good to see you again ;D
-MP
-
I don't know much about stargate and no idea what the ship looks like but this looks good :)
-
Backs ok for now...degenerative disc didease, surgery contra-indicated for now as I was able to heal enough to return to work without it. Still have a numb spot on ball of foot, and minor sciatic pain, but doc says that's probably as good as it'll get without major lifestyle change :whip: :P ;D Oh well, guess it's time to face the fact I'm 37 not 17. :rofl:
Haven't even looked at this in a while, or even done any modeling. I'll be doing some tomorrow, probably not much...see some things that are glaring at me in the pics that i want to fix....(yoga, zen, meditation deep breath) calm down self, tweak later... :skeptic: :screwloose: :mischief: :drinkinsong:
-
OK, took a little doing getting back into it, but here's a small update.
-
Looking good so far Sandman.
-
Dear god this ship's looking good. Keep up the good work!
-
Thanx guys!! ;D
-
hey Sandman .. just thought I'd stop by and see what's going on ...
I love this model bud ...
keep up the good work.
BTW... can you convert a model from 3ds to mod ?
-
Well, I can, but not sure if any extra work required, i.e. re-mapping but I'll give her a try. ;D
-
Actually .. these dont have ANY maps at all. But if we get the MOD .. maybe I can find some one to do the MAP for me. After that .. I can try to do the texturing.
We do the rest via PM .. and not shang-hi this thread !
-
OK, here's a li'l more ;D
-
Hmm...do you think the Air Force would name a Daedauls-Class Enterprise?
I doubt it, considering the name theme for the Prometheus and Daudalus ships. (Prometheus, Daedalus, Odyssey ect.)
But we can hope, lol. O'neill's a general now, maybe he'll push for one. (He had wanted to call the X-303 the Enterprise)
-
I vote to go with MacGyver LOL!!!
-
id vote for that :D any news of a release yet?
-
*SLAM!!*, OW!, *bump* Any news?
-
Hey Sandman
I know you're still weaning yourself back into the swing of things, but I'm wondering if there's any chance of a little update on this one..?
MajorRacal
-
I'll try doing some this week...i see the surgeon tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have an idea when I'll be able to get better and get back to work.
-
Glad to hear it - hope this will go some way to put an end to your long-suffering.
-
Well, not a big update, just wanted y'all to see I haven't forgotten about her. :P Started working on the fighter bay doors, should be able to get some more done tomorrow. :thumbsup:
On another note, saw the surgeon today and they should be calling with the date for the surgery...told 'em as soon as possible, I'm going stir crazy (see the above cat pic ;D). He's going to do a microdiskectomy, whereby he removes some bone to get access to the disk, then trims out the part that is causing the problem. Hopefully this will work...i really don't want to go through that pain again. I'll keep ya informed as I go.
Anyway, here are a couple shots...
-
Thanx! ;D
Well, Feb. 6th is the big day...yayyyyyy!!! ;D
-
love it. want it!!
-
A little more...want to try to have it done before my surgery on the 6th...should be doable. ;)
-
DUDE u rule i cant wait to play with this in game!!
-
Thanx!! ;D
-
Well, as the header says, this is the final update before release. She's coming at 4229 polies, so not too bad. 8) Here she is:
-
Great job!
-
Ready to D/L..... nice.....
-
hmm let me change my underwear<runs off and changes comes back> nope gotta change again <runs off again and comes back with an icepack> damn thats good i say you should get one of those fancy awards thats been sitting in the forums for a while.
As Leader of OutaLance Shipyards because of outstanding work in defiance to poor health Nominate Sandman for the Titanium Cross
([url]http://outalance.battleclinic.com/fallen_warrior/images/00-TC-Red.jpg[/url])
For releasing a model of exceptional quality
Now hurry up and release her dude :P
I second F_W's nomination of Sandman for the Titanium Cross ... fantastic work there my friend
-
i third that :) awesome work Sandman :), now all we need is some wraiths and then work can begin on a SGC mode :)
-
Thanx guys!! ;D
One thing I have a question about...this is supposed to be a sister ship to the X-303, just modified slightly...but she looks bigger. Should I scale her a little larger than the X-303 I did, or go same size?
-
id say bigger the x303 prometheus is an experimental testbed, the Daedalus's ships are becoming more common ships for sgc's fleet, i would say she is bigger
-
OK, how's this?
-
Personally, I'd make the forward portion about the same size, basically the same hull with extra structures. But that's just me. The best thing would probably be to scale it so the windowes match.
-
Ok first off heres 1 way to make ur mesh look much better.... create an Omni light far away from the ship... change Shadows in the drop down box to 'Adv. Ray trace' and then go down to the 'Shadow Parameters' tab and change the density to 0.7 ad then render n it will look much better :)
-
he doesnt want to do that tho as if he does that it wont look like that ingame,
