Annnd... I'm done.
I hate this thing by now. The cockpit made me pissed off so I slapped something together in an hour.

The model has 7162 polys after I smooth it, has about 1800 before, and is absolutey hideous.
The ship's pretty much a joke, but the idea is that it's very massive, and rams people to death.
Yea...

Oh and as you can see, it's done in wings.

> It works now Ciuciu, VERY impressive...I can't beleive how well that is rendered...

Ehm.. well.. It wasn't much. I used 3ds and hi poly basic objects (tubes and cyliders mottly). I only used two (tree) editable meshes (user define objects) as a cabin and engines.

I also addes shadows, so that ship looks realistic :)
The bump maps on ship's was created with paint :D (just some rectangles all around bitmap)

Now we know the following:

Genka uses MacOS X
Genka's real name is listed on the screenshots.
Genka has something called tubby.jpg on his desktop

Muaha

Tubby.jpg is actually a design of a ship a friend did.
Oh, and someone went and found my home address and everything a few months back, so I'm not worried

*raises hand and grins*

You know.. i have compleatly forgot about this gonest. my time has been cut drasticly between girl, school, and Hitman Contracts.

Give at least 2 weeks warning before the dead-line; then I'll start panicing and finish all my models.

Ok.. im trying to make some destroyer class ship, but i haven't got any idea what should be his capabilities.. Well.. it should be able to destroy a fighter without taking much (or at all) damange... THAT means that it should be either faster and/or more agile than fighter OR very well armoured and armed.

If we choose first than the pirates would recive ultimate tradeship destroyer (since if it's able to catch a agile fighter it's able fi chatch slow trade ship), on the other hand if you made it slow as turtle, every pirate/greefer will easly run away (after destroying one or two slow (trade) ships.

Moreover, sb present a note from some dictionary, and it looks like destroyers, are rather medium size _fast_ ships (but i may be wrong).

So.. any ideas? It could really help making that ship :D

The common feeling is "fast but sluggish". IE, it would have a very high max speed, but be slow to accelerate and with super-extremely low maneuverability. Its job wouldn't be to kill fighters, but if one got in range of its heavy guns, BOOM!

I'm making a medium-range transport.

Hey, I have other tools at my disposal, I use wings to just make the models and do conversion, I have other things for textures and animnation and such

Urza, at least you have your priorities right, GIRL came first on your list

Jared (my REAL name): Girl, ROTC, Vendetta, School


and yes....

we beleive you that "tubby.jpg" is a ship...

recalls a "Sir Mix-A-Lot" song...perhaps you;ve heard it?

so i'll asume that hand drawn entrys will be accepted...

/me grabs some paper and starts to sketch...

expect somthing "SOON"...



-MorbidlyWrong[VC]

as long as you include the proper views...

I truthfully never thought of the hand drawn idea but as long as it has the proper views and can be viewed on a webpage (please scan it if you can! Snail mail is extremely slow and my scanner is really poor. I can place it online myself, I just need a digital image) I dont see why you can submit a handdrawn "Concept Art" image.

Just include all the infomation and everything...

BUMP!

Okay people, as the deadline is fast approaching, I want to bump this thread one last time.

I want to move the entry deadline to the 5th of June or the First Saturday of June since in all truth, many of us have jobs and may not be able to make the post or everything on the 1st. Judging will begin on the 6th (sun). All entries entered on the FIFTH are accepted while anything marked as June 6th or beyond is invalid for the prizes.

I want to make sure all the URLs here are alive, all the artwork posted, updated, etc etc.

I want to thank all of you for the great turn out for this contest and wish you all the best of luck from the SDF!

What happened to the old topic?

No they isn't.

PS just incase anybody is not up to date, I will no longer be offering a huge prize. Though I will still add in whatever I can.

Darn resets eh?

Durgia: how about 5mil to each winner? (i can give up to 15mil ;>)

hmm since my computer is dead the version of the lcv I've submitted will have to do. :/ gah... I had another half finished ship ...oh well, it wasn't that great anyway :p

This will be my entry Nr.2 .. uh ...at some point :P

http://home.arcor.de/famscheffler/sd/tehbigship/tehbigship.jpg
