This is my concept idea of what I'm planning to do... Basically we're in the year 4000 or so, the soviet union re started again and a war with the US was inevitable... Years of war in earth, and galaxies divided in two blocks, carried the human civilisation to a huge war for the conquest of the space and planets. The earth was destroyed, the Soviet union and the United States now fight with alien races as their allies or enemies... This is just a battle to conquer a little planet in some galaxy...

[WazaR]

An epic battle if ever there as any.

I would hope that somehow nukes will make their way into this image....

[3doid]

i bet that little planet got all the beautiful chicks and night clubs...;) wacky but doable idea... keep it up, i wanna c where this goes...

[percydaman]

haha good idea... like if the us soviet space/arms race just kept continuing and continuing... Look forward to more.

[GaNNEl]

Tnx for the comments... Soon I'll post some other things... :)

[pBarrelas]

We can't wait to see more ;)!!

[DJ-Prismatica]

I always did like battles with commies. Sounds good to me, keep it up.

[Borro]

hey man thats the spirit! Keep it up, I see your idea and it reminds me of red alert! Well anyway keep it up and good luck!

This is my first model... It's a soviet ION sentry cannon, it's small but powerful. It has no crew and it works only orbiting planets, but can fire at ships not only planet surface. It can bring down small-medium facility with it's firepower and a small-medium ship with its defense cannons and its main weapon. Soviets usually put 5 or more toegether to gain more firepower. It can be manipulated from far away because of it's antenna, if it looses the anetnna the sentry will go crazy firing everywhere.

Well, I'm doing some things here testing for effects on the ION cannons... First I did this:

[GaNNEl]

Added a blue mat, to llok like ION... Well I think IONs are blue, aren't they? :D

[GaNNEl]

Added some glow... Looks nice to me...!

[GaNNEl]

Added some lighting effects... Big ION particles... Very destructive :D

[GaNNEl]

Added some more lighting things.. and I think I'm finished here... I guess this will be the looks of the ION Cannons :)!

[JHarford]

nice lighting effect!, very cool once in full scene

[cattledog]

I really dig the Ion beam, very cool. Interested to see where you go with it all.

Good Luck.

[Versiden]

hey, good job on the ion trails.. awesome ;p

[Genesisa]

hola como esta todo, claro que si, estmos aca para ayudar, oye por cierto muy bueno tu modelo ese, me preguntaba si tienes correo en messenger, por alli podria explicarte muchisimo mejor, cuidate mucho hombre hablamos en otra ocasion.

diviertase y hasta luego.

[sergioKomic]

Hi, just an idea:

Dont call them soviets and u.s.(I find it a bit cliche) but somethin like Cossacs (you keep the ussr logo) and Impirial west...

Keep pushing poly's

[pBarrelas]

Sorry for not giving my opion on the ION cannons or the wire frame because that's not enaugh information to form an opinion. More updates please!:bounce:

[Borro]

The ION effect looks great... just gonna advise you to add the glowing FX after the rendering as a post effect, cuz it uses too much resourse... ;) keep it up... cool cannon too!

[GaNNEl]

Hey! Thanks a lot for posting here, I reallly liked the Idea of calling them with other names... thanks a lot... I'll try to post more tnx for the support :)

[Borro]

BTW don't you think this looks a bit more like a Real Gun... Just a thought... update soon :)

[dp76]

Added some more lighting things.. and I think I'm finished here... I guess this will be the looks of the ION Cannons :)!Good ion effect.
I feel the sentry looking good when texturized (como va eso?) ;)
Just keep going!

ION Sentry Firing... Jut to see how it looked like...

[GaNNEl]

Same as the last but this looks more complete... I think...

[GaNNEl]

This is like what I'm planning to do next... Destroying the Sentry Antenna and now with this the whole Sentry will be complete... With some Effects :)!

[GaNNEl]

... COMMARADE GENERAL! ION Sentry # 567 is showing us in the radar that something's aproaching it's postition!
- Hmmm what should it be commarade?

[GaNNEl]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/7/4171/4171_1099799381_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/7/4171/4171_1099799381_large.jpg)

Beep! Beep!
Commarade genreal! We just lost contact with ION sentry #567!
-Hmmm!... We lost another sentry commarades! It's defenses are useless against those U.S. Phortek torpedoes... They are fast and fired from far away...

[Sharga]

Man, that's awesome! It definitely has a Cold War in Space feel to it, with the old fashion style that the Soviet sentry is built in. You have a nice grasp on particle effects. I could see thing being a short film.

[GaNNEl]

I'm officially out this challenge, I don't have artistic gifts, so I will just look other's work.

[arturro]

Hey man, don't give up! If you think that you are too weak, then all the more you should take part in it! In order to learn something:)

I don't think that your work sucks, I woul dsay it looks promising and nice! And the particle effects are very good!

come on, keep on fightin':buttrock:

[Borro]

Hey you shouldn't give up. I've entered the challenges with work which didn't look even close to yours... Don't give up I really like your modeling :). Keep it up :)
