update :)

[pBarrelas]

Very good model dude!! I really like it!!:thumbsup:

[greentek]

great stuff Jeroen.. :thumbsup:

nice and clear ship design.. looks very believable.. keep it up!

cheers..

[ace4016]

Looks pretty good. I would love to see that thing unload. Can you show the fornt of the freighter too?

[Archetype]

final will have it in 3 different poses


loaded / unloading / unloaded :)

[Archetype]

on the planning for tonight

wrap up the freighter
start scetching the frigate, corvette or cruiser


wich one do u want to see ?:)

[ace4016]

I'd like to see the corvette/cruiser, I want to see what big guns you have in mind for the monsters:p .

[pch123]

Hi Jeroen. I like the way your freighter is coming together. Good work :cool: . Have you used displacement maps for the panelling? Would be nice to see a wire frame. Good luck.

[Archetype]

im curently at work ..

take a look a few pages back there a wireframe of the destroyer
same poly adding method was used to bump it up

[gpepper]

Another great spaceship ! Really cool that one ! Far away from what we are used to see !

[Archetype]

yea when i look around here i see a lot of new smooth speeders Airodynamic spaceships etc :\


kinda bollox since theres no air resistance in space ,
for those who do need to land on planets it will be in the design ..

im going with the big and lumpy feeling
:)
like the old starwars ships / battlestar gallactica etc.

i work wit lots of basic shapes .. since a cube would be infinatly easier to pick up by a clamping system than an smoothed spaceship etc .

im trying to create some functionality in the design too

[pigwater]

voultooz ... that last cargo thing is tres cool .. i like your thinking to as far as he big and clumpy thing .. has a lot of old school character, no nonsense working ship :thumbsup: .. of course though i'm building some of those smooth speeders

thanks for the tip on the "detail.p" plugin (lw version) ... i'm sure it'll save me hours :scream:

beautiful work

[Archetype]

O_o
.. i didnt know there was a detail plugin for lightwave ?:\
im confused ..
and i told u this ?

man how wasted was i this weekend ?
lol

[pch123]

Thanks Voutlooz. I checked out the wireframed craft. Very nice :) . Good luck. I'll just have to keep plugging away.

[Archetype]

i wish i got payed for this while i did it :P


MAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i cant wait to get homeee
and do some more GSO stuff ! :P


btw
i think i will increase the amount on spacecraft by a factor of 10
ill have to do Some more designs though :)


im quite bored at work and cant wait to walk to the train to get home in about 30 minutes
have a quick dinner
and spend all night on the contest
O_o

[SuperXCM]

Excellent modeling man!! Keep going!!
For the details plug, i don't understand... what is this??? :curious:
It is one for max?

Otherwise, your work is very cool!! Want to see more! :buttrock:

[Rochr]

This is just getting better every time i check this thread.
Seems you´re going for some composite work as well. :)

u asked for it

needs detailing over here
:X

btw pimped render coming up

im trying to figure out how to do the crawlspace

"horizontal beam above the cargo "
wondering if u shoud add windows

[neble]

I think it's really coming along. I especially like the smaller ship with the four jets at the end. When you did the render, what is just a basic texture on the ship? Also, how close are you planning on getting to the ship?

[Archetype]

its just beefed up for a closeup .. :)


basic shader basic colour

all this is just lighting / geometry

empty and loaded freighter

[arturro]

Hi Voutlooz! I can't think of some constructive critique, because so far everything is perfect! You're just too good and too fast to be true:bounce:
Count me as your fan:love:

[dahiya]

i really like your reasoning and design methodology. when things are done so discerningly there is such little to crit. excellent!

[plaguelord]

THAT is what I call a spaceship! :buttrock:

keep rocking!

[Andrei2k]

Very well thought out and executed 'mechanical' design you have there.

The only crit I have is that if your composition in so 'deep' away from the viewer as opposed to a slightly more angled view perhaps the overall composition of the fleet and battle get a bit 'tubed' and shows less action than you might intend.

[Archetype]

good point !
:)

[pBarrelas]

[SONIC-X]

These are great looking models-lets see more.

[Archetype]

thanks all :D

[dark-elf2]

man ur going good
nice start
keep it up

[Archetype]

alright tonigh I need to start on the frigin frigate

:X
i have some clear idea's in my head atm
ready to work it out :x

[Archetype]

some idea's


for myself :P


Reaper
High velocity boarding device

Miner
Mining ships returning from mining station

Repaircrew
Floating people in space :P to repair the damage taken

Shuttle
Shutle pod to transport engeneering crews

Troop ship
transport for soldiers

Comunications vesel
arranges mass comunication between ships .
disturbs enemy comunications and eve'sdrops on them


Fleeing civilian vesels
man i do need these

Gate ship
main transport vesel arranges quick traveling system for smaller vesels to other starsystems

Fighter Defence system
Modified freighter a rocket barage system built into the cargo hold .


this should keep me buisy untill january . :P

[pBarrelas]

You bet dude that all this willkeep you busy untill january!! Don't forget to post all that!! Heh heh!!

[RobertJ]

I love that freighter, a real workhorse of the fleet. You must try to give it a used look, scratches, dents and so on, dirt, discoloring from spending decades in space and so on.

And don't forget that other boat that made the Dutch so famous, the tug.

[Archetype]

hmm :P
yeah tug spacecraft would do great
pulling out damages spaceships . !


any more idea's ?
:D

im all out btw
lol
need some beers tonight

[JamesMK]

Paint station
For quick paintjobs on newly stolen ships.

Refueling vessel
Self-explanatory

Recycling center
Rapidly builds new ships from unrepairable wrecks (and empty aluminum soda cans)

[Archetype]

oh man THOSe are Great idea's !


i love the paint station one

[Archetype]

note to self "" dont forget the chop shop sign ! . :""

[Tgmessi]

"medic" ships?
i will do better at this when i have a couple of drinks :P

[Archetype]

hmm


how bout "Human Reproduction vesels"
Cloning factories etc

[greentek]

LMAO..!!! :applause:

[Tgmessi]

hmm


how bout "Human Reproduction vesels"
Cloning factories etc Yeah or food/livestock vesels of some kind.
or censor vesels (ie radar or something like that, could be drones too)

[Coltzero]

Great, and funny, idea's, and i very much like that idea of those fighters leaving the station.
Very homeworldish, which i like, cuz i love homeworld...hmm, thats kinda double eyh ^o^

CZ

[Archetype]

u might have wondered why i didnt post any work yesterday ..


out of respect of a killed film director / columnist i coudnt do any work related to war
theo van gogh had been killed yesterday by a muslim extremist
shot down and then stabbed by a knife .. because he had his own oppinion on the islam culture

i'm realy not in the mood to do stuff on war atm
might post a new update later on the day .

[dark-elf2]

go model some daisies or something

that should cheer you up
very sad
look forward to more work when u feel better

[Borro]

What about a Mega ION REAL GUN :twisted: That should look great lol. Keep it up mate you're doing a great j-o-b!

[CybapunC]

MAN,

this really rox :)
Nothing more to say...

Cyba

[jddog]

Absolutely wonderful work !!!

jdd

[|-|²O]

i think a Rail Gun (like Borro said) would be a very nice weapon in a space war, even if it isn't so Gigantic (but it would probably look awesom if i was so big), i'll let you dicide.. ;)

[Archetype]

insure new updates will come tonight :)

[Tgmessi]

insure new updates will come tonight :)
Cool! i can't wait :)

detail boosted mining station

[Archetype]

oof i missed a spot on the destroyer between the engines
need to fix that tomorow

[markovicd]

hey man

keep coming really like this... i already have vision in head of this... :D
or not :))
great!

[LAURO_MX]

the details is extraordinary!
Good job:applause:

[tzktime]

I'm not sure whether that is you final composition, but it looks all a little too linear to me, like everything is straight if you know what I mean. If its not your final compo, then its great!

[Archetype]

ARG .
:

i've got a letter from my isp today

telling me they have transfered me to a different isp .
no term of agreement at all .
that means that if i sign the contract . they can raise the cost whenever they want

if i DONT sign ..
it would mean i will end up with no internet :\\

[Rochr]

ISP´s can be a real pain. But you have no choice but to sign, because we must see the final result of this scene! :)

How will you make the backdrop?

[Archetype]

:\

im trying to arrange another isp ..

bg is photoshopped
:x

[Archetype]

oh man im going to have to drop out of the contest :\\\\\\
untill i know more its useless to model anything for cgtalk GSO :\

[JoeB2C]

you could always fall back on 56k, right?

[Rochr]

Well, i hope everything works out for the best. There´s still plenty of time left.

[markovicd]

no vol... man c`mon i am on 52.2 K ... if i can do it everyone can do it! :D

[greentek]

ooooo... now your composition looks really solid.. a great step forward Jeroen..

excellent job mate.. :thumbsup: keep it up!

[JohanL]

fantastic models and a real solid scene you got there.. Would suck bad if u had to withdraw :sad:

Hope everything sorts out for you

[dark-elf2]

nice work man

love the detail

more updates more!:bounce:

[YasushAzush]

I will Pray For You To Win The Prisze
Grate Entry

[MickW]

I hope you get some access sorted out - it'd be a real tragedy if your spectacular work wasnt completed...

[Lemog]

mmmmh... thousands details here... for an impressive scenery, I'm so curious to see the final result... courage man :bounce:

[bRuNuShky]

Hello ....how are you?... well what can I say your work looks realy realy cool.... you have a lot of ships there ...and a lot of good work too ...a lot of details I like it so much ...Ill be waiting for more....

[overcontrast]

huh?... u mean 'keep it up' right? if he givs up then theres no eye candy for us... :p

[ArtisticVisions]

no vol... man c`mon i am on 52.2 K ... if i can do it everyone can do it! :DSame with me (actually it's 56 K, but still dial-up).
Really hope you get this issue straighten out; I want to see more of your work! :)

[BikiniBottom]

great work man, i like your modelling and your theme in general! hope to see more of this stuff! keep it on

[EVIL]

Don't quit! seriously, you spend to much work on it to just quit, you still have a whole moth left. Don't let your ISP stop you, post your updates from internet cafe's if you have to!

Komop man hehe verstuur het anders per postduif :D

[userBrian]

Those were awesome animations, thanks for the exciting ride! Wish you could
finish. Those isp's can take up some time. I was down about 3 weeks when my
second isp didn't work out and I had to go to my third.
my 3d entry (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=179803)

[Archetype]

[Squibbit]
