Rebuild Of An Old SHip

XFozzboute · November 9th, 2005, 04:59 PM

This is an old ship I made but doesn't like being opened in Max 6 so I've decided to rebuild it.
The first pic is the original for those who can't remember or never saw it before.

I remember this ship - was / is very cool. Can't import or open into MAX 6? Well, I'm glad I'm too poor to upgrade then

XFozzboute · November 10th, 2005, 01:17 PM

I can open it in Max but as you can see in the first pic it doesn't turn out so well.

When was the original construction date?

XFozzboute · November 15th, 2005, 01:24 PM

I don't know maube 4 or 5 years ago, maybe more. It was one of the very first original things I did.

UPDATE...
Putting down a few more details near the engines.

skyhawk223 · November 21st, 2005, 06:22 PM

That's great. It looks so real.

UPDATE...
Other than a texture for the engines and a few beveled edges I haven't done too much work on this ship.

Here's a closer look at the ISA logo.

And here's another look at the logo. It's not finished yet and the font isn't final. I just wanted to try doing this because I've never done one before. I might do a mission patch as well.

Wow. I really need to learn Max too. Not enough hours in the day. Nice looking model. Good luck with the rebuild.

skyhawk223 · December 4th, 2005, 06:41 PM

I just really love the detail. Segments showing a bit in the second image there, but it is pretty close.

XFozzboute · December 4th, 2005, 07:00 PM

I never worry about segmenting. Unless it's really bad.

skyhawk223 · December 5th, 2005, 11:41 AM

It's not that big of a deal unless you plan on extreme closeups.

Very cool ship. I'm still learning Blender and haven't even gotten close to doing something like that.

XFozzboute · December 30th, 2005, 08:19 PM

UPDATE...
No real work done on this except for some textures and very minor additions.

skyhawk223 · January 3rd, 2006, 09:18 PM

That's the ship? Looks like mainly engine.

XFozzboute · January 3rd, 2006, 10:54 PM

It is mostly engine. I haven't decided on the a bridge design for the MKI yet. This version of the ship is mostly just a test bed for what will become the MKIII and that will look more like my original design.

skyhawk223 · January 9th, 2006, 07:28 PM

Is MKIII going tobe the same basic shape, or is the design going to be different?

XFozzboute · January 9th, 2006, 08:15 PM

The MKIII will look more like the very first picture posted.

Very nice...I am not really good at using Max....but my friend is teaching me a bit In truespace....are there any similarities?

XFozzboute · February 5th, 2006, 02:25 AM

I have'nt used Truespace since version 1 so I have no idea. But I think the basics are pretty close for most programs.

February 12th, 2006, 03:00 AM

It kind of looks like that old Russian space station, what did they call it Me'ar or something?

February 13th, 2006, 05:38 AM

Very impressive. I like the many details, makes it looke very real. Great!

skyhawk223 · February 13th, 2006, 08:47 AM

That would be Mir.

March 4th, 2006, 02:17 PM

thats a very nice looking ship, very good work

March 5th, 2006, 04:14 AM

That is extremely detailed even with textures. It looks very cool, and does seem like a development on the I.S.S. and science fiction bases.

Well done :thumbup:
