Introducing the Manta One prototype, which is a refined no weapon fast personal ship, that will add distinction to your moves to the hipest places in the universe.
It carries one pilot and his two passengers, and a little 1 cu for luggage.

Wicked!

Wow, super cool.

Nice

Looks really nice! Kind of reminds me of a pod racer but in space.

Good work!

Just a reminder to everyone: Please put your Game Name directly on your image. If you haven't done so, please upload new versions of your renders with your names on the image. I'm putting the web page for all the designs online, but most of them aren't labeled.

Thanks, and great work so far!

Are you DL'ing and hosting them or linking from there original sources?

I'm downloading and hosting all the entries, as well as entries that have been sent via e-mail. This will make voting a little easier too. Right now entries are all over the place in various threads.

And the official deadline for entries is when again? Cause this is not my final render, I am going to have a much better image with the front/side/top/perspective in it. I'll try and get the final ready tonight if your moving the date up.

Here are the definitive pictures:

The deadline is May 14, 2006, as stated in the rules at the beginning of this thread. You may deliver your final renders any time before then. I am getting the entries online as I get them, but most are not labeled and thus need to be.

Updated page with movie :

That'll be the real definitive !

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

Great presentation! Came out really nice. Have you thought about texture mapping it for more details?

Nice work! Great animation!

Thanks ! mhh Johnhawl no, in fact there are a few textures mapped allready, like the logo and the danger stickers, but I meant it to keep pure shiny white, as I imaginated it like a high deluxe design ship ! There could be seams at moving parts like doors or canopy, but I think it will now remain as such ^_^

Entries are due THIS WEEK! Get them to me through e-mail or post them in the thread! I'll have them all on a page on May 14!!!
