SH'Owzar Warship

XFozzboute · April 13th, 2004, 05:44 PM

I decided to not place any new designs in my UEG Universe thread simply because it's too large and I don't feel that people want to go through all those pages and images for what might only be a small update. I will only continue that thread untill I finish the meshs in that thread.

So anyway I've begun to work on the engine of what I hope will become the SH'Owzar warship. My first Idea was, what if V'ger from Star Trek The Motion Picture was built as a warship. It won't actually look like V'ger but that was the idea that set it off.

Do you mean the V'Ger from the special edition, or the design from the non-enhanced movie?

XFozzboute · April 14th, 2004, 01:14 PM

Just V'Ger in general. Either one will do.

moovok · April 14th, 2004, 02:36 PM

Well, I thought V'Ger was expanded upon during its travels, and near the end, one technological race (which if you think about it, could have been the Borg - you never know, hence the ship coming to Earth).

But why would a warship build ontop of it? Then again, not watched the Motion Picture that much, so could be totally wrong!

XFozzboute · April 14th, 2004, 03:26 PM

This is only based on V'Ger and actually doesn't have anything to do with Star Trek at all.

UPDATE...
The actual nozel part of the engine is done.

Just thought I'd throw this shot in.

Now I'll focus on the panels that outline the engine nozel.

skyhawk223 · April 15th, 2004, 05:33 AM

The nozzle looks great so far. Why is it your stuff looks so good even without textures?

XFozzboute · April 15th, 2004, 10:17 AM

Just lucky I guess.

Just noticed I spelled nozzle wrong. LOL

General Phoenix · April 16th, 2004, 01:10 PM

I think it's because he models every rivet and panel line - no textures required.

XFozzboute · April 16th, 2004, 03:10 PM

I wouldn't go that far.

XFozzboute · April 16th, 2004, 05:17 PM

UPDATE...
More work done on the interior of the one of the inner panels. I don't think there will be more to this part of the panel since most of it won't be seen that far back because of the engine nozzle.

XFozzboute · April 17th, 2004, 01:10 AM

UPDATE...
Work on the inner panels are done.

And this is how they look.

XFozzboute · April 18th, 2004, 03:43 PM

UPDATE...
I've not got the outer panels into position. I still have to work on how they connect to the nozzle, but I'll come up with something. i Hope.

I've begun a little work farther down the back of the ship.

skyhawk223 · April 19th, 2004, 05:59 AM

You could just display the nozzle and tell people you are finished with the ship and people would believe you. Great work so far.

XFozzboute · April 19th, 2004, 02:00 PM

That's a great Idea. I quess I'm done then.

General Phoenix · April 19th, 2004, 09:31 PM

I was thinking the same thing - there's probably as much time and detail in that engine assembly as there is in most whole starship meshes.

Keep it comin'!

XFozzboute · April 19th, 2004, 11:41 PM

Oh nuts. I guess I'll have to keep it up for the rest of the ship.

skyhawk223 · April 20th, 2004, 05:26 AM

Of course you do, because some of us know better

April 20th, 2004, 06:33 AM

I've spread that much detail around two or three meshes...

I have the utmost respect for someone who can make an untextured engine nozel look huge. I mean it. That thing looks massive...

Elowan · April 20th, 2004, 08:53 AM

The Mad Man is at it again! Looks great!!

I wanted the thing to look big so I'm glad too see it works. Only problem is I'm having trouble wrestling with it already, but I'm sure I can make it submit to my demands.

General Phoenix · April 20th, 2004, 06:12 PM

Perhaps you should buy it jewelry - it's worked for me in the past.

XFozzboute · April 21st, 2004, 01:57 PM

I'll buy it some beer- it's worked for me in the past.

Chris B · April 21st, 2004, 02:47 PM

wow, love the details - great job, fozzy!

XFozzboute · April 24th, 2004, 09:05 PM

Thanks.
UPDATE...
It's been awhile since my last update but I wanted to make sure it was something more than a minor change.
First off the poly count.

After a bit of work to reduce that number.

The outer panels are done so I've gotten started on more of the ship, including what I'm calling the command center/bridge section. I wasn't too sure about the shark fin part I added but it's beginning to grow on me and I like it. So far I'm happy with the way it's turning out. I'm thinking I might do a snub nose escort/frigate version of the ship because I kind of like the way it looks right now. But the final warship version will have be about twice this size.

XFozzboute · April 26th, 2004, 08:26 PM

UPDATE...
I'm getting close to finishing the outer part surrounding the engine.

I little texture work.

April 27th, 2004, 10:47 AM

This is becoming very promising a warship from V'Ger's serragate world....Crazy
I sure hate to be in this things path
Awesome work mate

XFozzboute · April 29th, 2004, 09:09 PM

UPDATE...
Here's a nice profile shot and a bit of a size comparison with the SH'Owzar fighter. I think it looks good so far.

I've added some small weapon pods.

And a closer look at the weapon pods.

A look at what I'm thinking for for the front of the smaller version of this ship.

skyhawk223 · April 30th, 2004, 05:35 AM

Are those weapons pods fixed, or can they move?
Fairly massive ship.

XFozzboute · April 30th, 2004, 09:14 AM

They do have a small degree of movement. Mainly meant to pick off fighters, missiles and other small craft that are stupid enough to get too close.
