element5: I’m not sure if you read my previous post, but have you got any sketches of the rims you want on the E5? It’s pretty much the last thing I have to model before I get on to texturing.
Blitzze: I AM SO SORRY MAN! I do like the wheels that have the flame design in them.
I love all the stuff you guys are nutting out, cool brainstorming but i have never read so much in my whole life…haha!
oh yeah,
the glass idea, what about transparent aliminium. very strong and able to withstand the harshest of environments and can be used in many applications. This is technology has been developed i think in Japan.
element5: Nah no worries mate. Could you whip up a quick perspective sketch of that? I’m not really sure how it’s supposed to look like in 3D. Cheers.
ok, revised material specs. (thanks for pointing out all that stuff Albert!!! )
it requires no paint, is multi functional, and can only be manipulated by passing electricity through it at a certain frequency. it’s stronger that titanium, excellent for use in computers (these are all Quantum computers by 2375) and is (for alll intents and puposes) transparent. the basic colour of the material is Gunmetal Grey (it can be programmed to be any other colour).
Industrial Composite (IC)
IC is stronger than Titanium whilst being little heavier that the same volume of air that it occupies. IC has a melting point of approximately 5600 degrees and is also a Light Emitting Composite (LEC) as well as being capable of being configured into a Variable Temperature Composite (VTC) to provide cooling or heating where needed. Atop all these features, IC is primarily used for Construction, Vehicles, Vessels, Buildings, displays and civilian computer systems, as the biggest advantage of IC is its capacity for self-organising circuitry (all are variants of IC). Industrial Composite Contains the following things:
Electrostatic Polymer (E-Polymer)
Invented in the early 21st century, Electrostatic polymer is used in a vast number of Military, Commercial and Industrial applications such as
Display screens, road signs, books (instead of pages), warning signs (animation on the polymer helps to warn people of the hazards), clothing and many more. The current incarnation of E-Polymer is a close but distinctive relative of IC. This faeture of IC mimiks transparency.
Synthetic Arachnid Fibre (SAF)
Developed in the late 20th Century, SAF is now used in a wide variety of Industrial, commercial and Military applications.
I think that sounds exotic enough…:applause:
and the e-polymer offers some great possibilities.
yeh, mfIC (multi funcional Industrial Composite) is going to be pretty handy, mostly, its just a means to use some of the ideas ive been having. well, more of an excuse really!
Wow!! im impressed!!!
this is a damn good first concept!!
[b]Mech:[/b]
. i like your line of thinking on this!!:thumbsup:
[b]Crit:
[/b]there is too much Form in this, as cool as it looks, it doesnt look like the USM would build it. it needs to look 'disgustingly practical' if you get me.
an image of a honda robot for reference: (see attatchment)

this is looking cool!:thumbsup:

1. wider, longer, lower
2. cannon needs to be much longer and the barrel needs to be wider
3. perhaps 2 of those big cannons?
4. a small cannon on the side (like WW1 tanks)
5. split the tracks into 3 sections (so it can cross difficult terrainand, make the tracks very wide)
6. needs camera equipment (like the apache helocopter..maybe 3 cameras)
7. armour coverings over the track sides.
for tanks [check out this link here](http://www.army-technology.com/projects/challenger2/index.html)Hey dene,
Thanx for the crits, now i can get down to the nitty gritty. 
Here is a colourization of the moon-installation…
[ I N C R E D I B L E ]
I will start new modelling concepts.

hey everyone, this is a first concept of the sun for the 'ceph system. no sunblock required. photobucket makes everything look alittle blurry, so keep that in mind, also starfield was a quicky(i am making a movie[my own, don’t get excited] you know, so i don’t have a whole lot of time) so it looks blocky…
hey mr.dene the busy man, no rush on the system map, but how far out is the asteriod belt, and is it on the ecliptic with the 'ceph homeworld or was it the result of some cosmically huge impact of planetary matter and a comet or something to make it off axis? 
you guys kick arse, i love everything i’ve scene so far, except that girls dreads nead to be down to her arse. i have dreads that go to the middle of my chest, and i want to put metal beads in them to use as a weapon-hint, hint…
Mark: WOW!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
:eek::bounce:
ill have to invent a reason for that moon to be covered in large cracks and lave flows (im thinking…maybe some sort of initial experiment type accident)
i have some concept sketches for the mech legs, ill upload them when my new pc is working.
(id do it today but ive gotta clean up my old pc as its leaving me in a couple of hours 
)
so, moday or tuesday ill put the sketches up here.
monday1313: that sun is looking good! can you put some sort of asteroid belt around it (at about the distance mercury orbits our sun)? and perhaps make the surrounding green gasses into a disk in the middle which extends out? (just past where mercury is around our sun).
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Here’s a good site for space images
hi all
Very good project u have here…
I didn’t read all the thread of course but I think I got the idea of the project , and I’d like to join …
here is a concept which I started with modeling it ,if u like it I’ll need more ref images from another angles spicialy the back view cause I can’t figure out the back of the ship
hope u like it (still wip and under conistriction)
thanks alot,
should the gas be only in the ring formation or some around the sun as well, maybe the gas is partly there from whatever made the asteroid so they blend together? i take it you want the asteroid to be on the same orbital plane as the planet…checked out that sight before, man, that’s an archive, i think i went through the first years worth so far :eek:
hey!
allways glad to have some more interest and assistance (we need it!!)!!
i like what you’ve done!
we’ve stopped working on the drop-ship for now, but we’re going to come back to it at a later date. i must say i like the roundness of it! (how many poly’s btw?). if you want to buld something that we have plans for, check out the big-rig a couple of pages back:
The Big-Rig
Big-Rig
Big-Rig View 1
Big-Rig View 2
Big-Rig View 3
Other Stuff
Medium Fighter
Special Forces Fighter
Mobile Cannon
of course, what you want to model is important!! so, if you tell me what you’d prefer to be doing i can assign you more suitable tasks:thumbsup:
btw: what else, aside from 3D (which i can see you do VERY well), can you do?
-Dene-
the gas ‘disk’ would need to be on the same orbital plane as the planets. the asteroid belt would be within it (i think this would create some wonderfull llighting efects).
that website is impressive!! i try to visit it as often as possible!!
[edited] false alarm.
the guy who’s picking the pc up just decided to do it on sunday…without telling me…
