quick point about the orion: its not going to be seen all that much. massive effort on this would be wasted. 1 or 2 further designs are, i think, all that would be necessary.
After this Cruiser could you have another go at the other Cruiser (the advanced one) please Mark? (as in ‘stage 1 concept’)
I am very interested in participating in this little project of yours 
I am an experienced 3Dsmax modeller / Animator & Combustion Operator
and i have worked for over 5 years now on commercial projects, so i state …ready 2 go ( as long as my day-studio job allows it of course ).I really believe that if we make a nice collaboration we can have a very nice result out of this…
Down to the point!
What i can do
If you steel need additional hands for this, let me know
Oh…and check out a work posted here…that has nothing to do
with sci-fi though…

Good morning all, Thought i would do 15minutes work before i go out and work on my car…
Here you go Dene
morning mark!
cool image!
just thought…could you try this one instead please? (feel free to ‘E-Slap’ me)
what id like you to do to it.
Stage 1
yes. i AM a pain in the arse!!! haha:scream:
as you may well have noticed, the thread name has been changed. many thanx to Kirt for the favor!
just been looking at the Cruiser Image again… ive gotta say, i REALLY like this!! its practically perfect!
im going to design a cruiser that is similar to this one and the ‘advanced’ cruiser to populate the outer areas of human territory.
Thanx for the great feedback, Ok this is stage 1. I ignored the smaller spherical cannons and they are all retracted, i thought it would not be practical to have the large ones retract.(take up to much room internally. I assume they have shutters to protect the main aperture.) I can see three main thrusters at the back, i hope my interpritation is correct.

-Dene-
malcolmvexxed. thanx for the supportive post dood!
just a quick post while i have a spare 5 mins…
the dreadnaught actually has 4 thrusters arranged in an ‘X’ also, they need to be set further from the hull.
Outstanding work you guys have done here!
Dene I wish you guys much success!
Mark your concepts impress me everytime!
Cheers
Jeff
oops:eek:…sorry ive taken so long to reply!!!
ok…
first ill need to know what you prefer to model (creatures / tech / buildings / vehicles etc…)
and then i can assign you something.
currently there is no archive of the documents for this project. though maybe soon (with any luck). but, eventually there WILL be a website for this project, but it could take some time.
there’s a lot of info in this thread allready. if that doesnt answer all your questions, just ask me and ill post the relivent info (if ive written it, if not, ill try to answer your question as best i can)
hey
thats a reallll y good idea, just saw this thread… pretty good. well dont know how much my advice would work for you guys, but the way i worked with designing my robot was… start with functionality, armor is just something to put on top to protect the machinery. newayz hope this saw the design for the armor, maybe it would help if the machinery was designed before the actual look for the robot.
well i still cant wait to see your ideas come together. Just love the story… sucka for sci-fi. well i’m just in the last month of my 3d animation course at vfs, as soon as this is done i would love to work with you guys. btw i agree that there needs to be a kind of archive for all the work. you know some place everyone could see the work thats already been done and add to it. oh well good luck guys, keep up the amazing work… great concept drawing though.
Regards,
Biren
cheers dude!
the designs i recently posted are for power armour…i havnt designed any mecha yet, but when i do ill use your advice!
we need all the help we can get!! haha! feel free to contribute!
yeh…very true. im working on the problem though!!!
i thank you, and i think everyone else does too!
Hiya,
Four engines for the Dreadnaught, my mistake LOL.
Here are the Autho’s for the Big Rig, I redesigned the section behind the cab. i was looking at some trucks yesterday and there was one that had the aerodynamic panels and the trailer tucked right in and sat close the the cab. So i incorperated it into the design. I asume the towing hitch will be electromagnetic. I would love to design the interia but i feel that would be overkill due to it being a background filler.
Cheers Mark
