3d art!

[Harlequin]

Anybody else do 3d art for fun? Game related or non, post it here. I thought we needed a thread for just the 3d stuff, so here it is. Here is one of my current projects. I made this ship in bryce. Tell me what you think, and show your own projects.

[Trizor]

Is that ALL bryce? if so, you pay too much attention to precal.

You've seen my stuff.

[Axem]

I make mine with DOGACGA, a lazy man's 3d modeller. ;) Basically you have lots of preset parts then put them together sorta like lego bricks.

The models are only good for renders, they would have to be really cleaned up for use in games.

Anyhow, these are for my own little sci-fi universe. These ships are early FTL era ships.

Terran Cruiser

Terran Carrier (This actually has some crappy texture on it!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/Gishnervk/carrier1.jpg

[Harlequin]

I like the ships. How much is premade and how much did you design? I might have to have a look at that modeler.

[Axem]

Here's a screen from the Insert Parts Window. It gives you an idea how much is prefabed. Basically all you can do is place the parts, move them, scale them, and rotate them. So its good for simple models, nice for concept art too.

[FusionStorm]

I couldn't spend that much time on something that I can't use in FS2.

[Harlequin]

Does the stuff come textured? Can you make your own parts to mix in with the premade ones?

[Star Dragon]

I was begging for something like this over a year ago. For modlers to band together and make some sort of parts library for us noobs or non-modlers and to have hundreds (if not thousands) of permutations on themes or maybe one part that catches our eye... I figgen LOVE THIS!

I spent about 2-3 hours tracking this program down (from your post) and learning how to work it and then more importantly how to EXPORT to a format I can convert to pof!

Guess what it converted! Now to test it in game... I give you the Drake Class medium fighter (for a ,as of yet, unnamed race...). The wyvern (light scout), and Heavy fighter (no naem yet) varients to come soon! He he..

http://img97.exs.cx/img97/8074/drake0yy.jpg

Yes I have that question also, can we make Custom parts and get them into DOGCA? That would mean we need to make them oriented a certain way and them sized and also converted to .sur format somehow...

My god... If we can start securing permissions from some of our modlers in the HLP community think of the combinations? Noobs and elites alike could start making campaigns a little faster as well as try designs never seen before (even though ceratin parts may have been used before for different purposes. The way it is used and textures on it will make all the difference! Like a bridge here is a cockpit there, a wing a main body , or vice versa...) I used a ship body as the two missile launchers near the head for example and then mirrored it. I am NOT a modler at all and get totally lost and frustrated with 3d programs but this is like the ultimate 3d Christmas present I could ever hope for!

If I am getting too excited over nothing let me know... :D

[NOTE} Those textures are temp place holders, if it works in game I will go back and make it look alive... Pheer the Draconian Empire lol!

[FusionStorm]

Man, that program would be nice. It takes me hours to make a single turret in TS and even longer to skin it. That program, if it works right is a HUGE BOMBSHELL, totally changes the way us Modders mod.

[Star Dragon]

I got the drake in game (looks fine but defiantely needs to have a texture scheme planned out) , However blowing one up causes crash.

Model needs to have all those intercecting poly's removed I bet as well as other stuff I don't know about probably... So in the end a "real modler" has to look at it and "clean the mesh up" but hey it still would be a huge helper to the unskilled folks!

Maybe later on as people start making alternate designs out of parts some of the skilled people might like them enough to make them game compatible?

At least now I can make close approimations to what I think a model should look like along certain themes (I noticed they had a small Trek assortment in there not readily noticeable to teh uninitiated , like that Miranda roll bar...)

[Axem]

I'm not exactly sure what it will import, I think its dxf files. There's also some converter that will convert from dxf to whatever it uses as parts files. To use it within the program you'll need to make a bmp of it and add it to some ini. I'm just taking wild guesses at some of this right now so don't hold me on it. :p

[Star Dragon]

lAs Karajorma just reminded me in ICQ, I SHOULD have posted a linktot eh program in question! (my bad)!! lol!

HERE Doga-1 is free the other builds (Doga 2adn 3) are shareware but probably work without higher functions unless you pay... For rendering movies and stuff...

http://doga.co.jp/english/download/index.html

[Axem]

Yeah, I use L3. It just doesn't come with a special renderer, but you can still render from within the program. But that's fine by me. :biggrin1: I just like playing around with everything.

[Star Dragon]

now I can experiment and make renders of fleet/race concepts!

Oh an BTW I always wanted to make a ship very much like ths but aside from hand drawing I never dreamed I could get it to PC myself... Behold, the EDF Avenger! (A WIP) now to figure out how to change the scale to fine grid and use it correctly so the parts line up right and don't get sunk into each other too far (like what happened with the turrets!) he he.

Man this was fun to build, now I just need to add engines, secondary guns, torpedo tubes, and point defense ports. those parts weren't pre-mapped so it's blank but oh well better than not having anything at all! :)
http://img151.exs.cx/img151/2371/captest1rl.jpg

This PROGRAM is like the ultimate spacecraft MR Potato Head!!! :yes:
[Note] The Drake fighter shown next to one peofile to show intended scale. I re-edited the comment in case people thought I was boasting about the model, I wasn't...

[FusionStorm]

Not the ultra space craft, just a modified Super Star destroyer. Still looks cool tho. And whitch modeling program did you use?

[Axem]

Good God, I've created a monster. ;)

Anyhow, here's two more I made. They're older and were lost when my hard drive died. Luckily I had some of them pics on my old site. Top one is an enemy race bent on killing the Terrans, the bottom one is a race who like to stay secluded until the end of time.

[Darkside_Heartless]

Mind if I butt in :)
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload6/screenie.jpg
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload8/screenie2.jpg

Poly count is 8554.
Likey or no likey? :D

[Harlequin]

thats cool, what did you make it with?

[Darkside_Heartless]

Milkshape (http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/)
Very basic and simple, but quite user friendly, I have a bunch of other things done, but no pics yet.

[Singh]

whoa...now that is one mean, kick-ass mech.

Gotta try the other program tho...got some concept ideas a-kickin! :D

[Darkside_Heartless]

I refer you to this thread (http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/forum/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=15468) for my latest :)

Something I made years before the SCP, wishing FS looked better :p
http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/hosted/tap/thorn/pictures/io_thumb.jpg (http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/hosted/tap/thorn/pictures/ifonly.jpg)
I havent been able to finish anything I've started recently. I've suddenly developed a very short attention span and severe lack of patience for anything involving electronics.

Made this using the program. now gotta figure out the texturing :D

Its gonna be a bitch to texture that though.

[Hammer]

seems its gonna be a bitch to fight agaisnt as well

[Singh]

update. All textures complete. Some of this shots were WIP when I took 'em, the last one is the finalized version.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/anandraj/Triest12.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/anandraj/Triest11.jpg

As you can see, a few specular issues.....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/anandraj/Triest10.jpg

But then, I think I got it right :D. A pretty ominous-looking ship when it's in the dark :nervous:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/anandraj/triestdark.jpg

[FusionStorm]

*Someone screams"AHHH!! it's the Battle Barge". Just kiddin, Looks good, are you gonna dump that in FS, It would be purty neat.

[MatthewPapa]

Badass. You got it textured. I am amazed that you were able to texture it so well. Did u map it or tile it?

[Singh]

Both, actually. DoGA does hte UV Mapping on it's on, only requiring to choose and apply different combinations of textures/effects, how tiled they are and different specular/env effects on it as well. L3 is a pretty damn usefull tool, for sure!

[FusionStorm]

DoGa is severely under rated.

[Singh]

update. After a few comments at HLP, i changed some of the design a bit. It's now got wings, and I'll begin turreting it soon. Expect to see big guns on it :drevil:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/anandraj/Triestoption2.jpg

[FusionStorm]

Now it ether looks like a Carrier or a Battle Cruiser. Hard to tell whitch? Looks good tho.

[Axem]

Weeee... Messing around with Wings3D!

First is some sort of atmospheric fighter...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/firstfighter1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/firstfighter2.jpg

Next is some sort of alien large capital ship...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/bigship1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/bigship2.jpg

[FusionStorm]

Like the cap-ship, looks like it could be Shivan, or part shivan, part vasudan, and part terran. Maybe of some alien race that builds it's ships out of parts they find.

Maybe that should go in FS2 modding section.

[MatthewPapa]

I like the kelpie a lot. Thats an excellent texturing job, raa.

[Taristin]

Maybe that should go in FS2 modding section.

:wtf:
Why? Why can't a model that's been put into pof form be considerred art?

What makes this any different from anything else posted in here that could be put in game? Because it's textured and in an almost finished state?
I put alot of time and effort into it, and I think it's art. If I didn't I sure as **** wouldn't have made it. Because I don't even play freespace anymore. :hoppingma

[Taristin]

I must apologize. I've been edgy and pissy all week.

Don't take it personally.

[FusionStorm]

:lol: Don't worry I did'nt

[Axem]

I love those fighters Raa. :nod: :yes: I just wish I had an excuse to use 'em.

Anywho, still playing around with the weird alien capital ship. Got rid of the tail, added real engines, made the wings protrude forward, made a better building on the head, lessened smoothing a ton.

[Axem]

Smallish updates...

Redid the head...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/shipodoom3front.jpg

Added some extra engines...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/shipodoom3back.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/NarfPics/headback.jpg

[Taristin]

Eeeenteresting...

[Harlequin]

I like the fighters a lot, raa. Axem, do you have any pictures of that ship textured?

[Axem]

Eh no. Texturing's not my forte, but I'll get to it when I get to it eventually. That's when the real fun begins...

[FusionStorm]

I will have texture this, and by that time,I'll be close to 6,000 polys. Thats gonna be fun. :p

[Turambar]

hmm, i like that moloch, spiky, yet smooth

wtf is up with the middle? it looks fuzzy, i would suggest, if youre doing the layered armor thing, have 3 or 4 instead of 20, it'd look more deliberate and fit better with the front and back. I like the spikes at the back of the front part, its cool

[FusionStorm]

It's mostly cause TS 3.2 does fuzzy renders. From close up, it looks alot better. And those spikes at the lower back of the front, are engines.Here is a pic, showing that the armor is anything but fuzzy, it also shows the front engines. It's the polys that is the problem.

[Ransom Arceihn]

I agree with Turambar, there's far too many spikes there. It looks weird and completely out of place compared to the rest of the ship.

[FusionStorm]

Well, I was gonna have to remove alot of them anyways, since they added 2,000 poys to the thing. And I've still got to add turrets.

[DaBrain]

Add some more details to the hull apart from smoothing.

[FusionStorm]

I can now, I was debating with myself if I should keep that very high poly armor. Still it exceded what Bob said the highest poly limit should be. So, it was gonna have to go anyways.

[FusionStorm]

Hey look, out of fun I turned it into a spikey butt. :lol: Thanks to DABrain for the Idea. And this is just for fun, so I'm probley not gonna leave it like this,unless people like it.

[Taristin]

I hope you don't. me no Likey

[Axem]

I took the head off the other ship and made it into its own ship!

I'm tempted to get this thing into FS2 in this condition... :drevil:

Meh, last try to make something nice out of this low-poly concept...

Failed...

[Axem]

Pics of models that got blown away with the hard drive. Luckily I had pics of them uploaded elsewhere so I have references to remake them one day.

[DaBrain]

:eek2: The right one on top is awesome!

[Omniscaper]

I managed to dig up the first fighter I ever made using 3dsmax 2.5. I've been dying to get back to finishing her. Those were the days I was still using lofts, bevels, and extrudes. I'm gonna rework the mesh with splines and nurbs this time around.

http://www.penguinbomb.com/omniscaper/WIPS/Triton2.jpg

[DaBrain]

Oh, looks like my favourtie WC Prophecy ship, the "Piranha".
... Your first fighter model...? :shaking:

I should get into this spline stuff... :nervous:

[FusionStorm]

I guess I should post my first ship, kind of a spikey butt tho.:lol:

[Omniscaper]

Looks either Shivan or Kryptonian in influence.

[DaBrain]

I think it looks like a pretty cool shivan missile. :)

[FusionStorm]

It was a Shivan juggernaut, kind of funny how everyone wants to build those when they first start modelling. I really liked the design tho, and have made alot of changes in my mind, for when I remake it, once I get better modelling skills, that is.:lol:

[Axem]

Everybody loves turrets! Inspired by Naval type gun turrets. Not really for FS2, unless you want a ship full of 800 poly turrets. :p

[Grug]

Some nice stuff around here. :yes:

Any more updates on these?

BTW, I love that station thingy of yours Axem. The one that DaBrain pointed out too. :yes:

[Axem]

Yeah, station... that's what it is... :drevil: :nervous:

Anyway, here's something else I'm working on. And I have no idea where to go from here.

[Taristin]

Ooh. bombs. :eek:


If those are in Max format, it'd be simple to make a little animation with them, for a cbanim, or whatever, with the light sparkling off of them. I dan see it now! :drool:

[DaBrain]

I need to get better at modelling...

Well, I came up with a nice idea for a campaign and I need a new fighter for it.
(BTW I'll never learn FREDing anyway, but it's still fun. ;) )


The top one is too smooth and the one on the bottomm has a weird nose...

http://img280.imageshack.us/img280/5288/5battle6us.png

[FusionStorm]

I smell Stealth. ;)

[DaBrain]

No, even more special. ;)

Maybe it will be stealth too, but it's main purpose is something else.

The nose looks fine in Wings3d...

[DaBrain]

Well, I'm still working on it. Some suggestions might be helpful.

[Singh]

looks very evil :yes:

needs guns tho :p

[DaBrain]

I've added two guns...
I'm so damn bad at this 3d stuff. :(

Wondering from one model to the next.

One of these days I'll finish my stuff. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But someday. (After the world collapses)

[Axem]

More!

This one still needs a bridge and other details.

The broadside cannons retract when not in use. The first pic shows the side with them retracted, and the second shows them out and ready to blast things into oblivion.

[Black Wolf]

http://www.game-warden.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1366

Ooooohhhhhhh............

Sans the wings... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm gradually putting together a universe in which I intend to write a novel, and I've been after a basic design for hostile ships... you've got a very nice basic concept here - mind if I scab a tad?

[Axem]

I guess so. It was for my own little universe, but I wasn't that happy with how the ship came out in the end.

[Black Wolf]

I guess so. It was for my own little universe, but I wasn't that happy with how the ship came out in the end.

It wont be a direct copy. More of a basic shape. But if/when I post anything I make for them up here, I'm bound to get at least a few people going "Hey! That kind of looks like that thing Axem made", so I'd rather get any possible inspiration clarified from the beginning.

[Axem]

I'd be surprised if people actually recognized my work. ;)

What I was hinting at anyway, is that that ship probably won't see any final form in the end.

The other one on the other hand is going well. I just need to add some AAA guns, clean up the mesh, and hopefully UV map the beast. The turrets so far are already mapped.

First pic has every doodad extended, and the second has everything retracted.

[Axem]

*Continues hogging thread*

A Mini-Triton like thing. Lots of points of articulation on the hauler's arms. The main body of the hauler still needs quite a bit of work, I just got tired of 4 hours of modelling this thing.

[Taristin]

Looks like it's an attachment for another larger thing...

[DaBrain]

Look really nice. :yes:

[Star Dragon]

WOW! DaBrain could I use that fighter? (a vesrsion without the bottom tail) I really woudlliek to mess aroudn with textures. I think it would look awesome as a Fed, Romulan or a hybrid Fed/Rommie collaboration (New generation heavy fighter) those ports on the wings look like photon torpedo tubes!!!


Axem, just curious, how many polys are those top dual turrets? I like that style, most of the time peopel make bases too boxy but you got that terrestrial Naval look.

[Axem]

Those turrets are 328 polys. They're a little high right now. They have 8 sided barrels, I'm going to degrade them to 6 sided before it comes into FS2. The base itself has 144 polys.

[DaBrain]

Railgun WIP




A err... really really big... railgun.

[DaBrain]

@Star Dragon

Uhmm, forget the crappy UV map. I'm still very bad at UV mapping. ;)

[Axem]

It's another ship! Yay?

I know I subconsciously stole the general design from something, but from what, I'm not sure.

[Taristin]

Looks like a mix of the Raynor and a ship that Swamp Thing made...

[Star Dragon]

Remins me of Raynor, A star Wars Nebulon, Colossus or Hecate, and the Iceni/Demios... But that's just me..

Looks like a Winner Axem!

[Axem]

Raynor eh, I know of it, but don't have a good permenant picture of it. Although a search of HLP did turn up some stuff. I sorta see the resemblance to it.

Anyway, now with turrets! This ship is meant for long range combat, the two large intake things are actually housings for long range torpedo launchers. It doesn't have many turrets (Only around 15 compared to the ~25 of the other one), and they're all single barrelled. I still need to add on a few AAA guns though, although there would only be around 3 or 4 of those.

[DaBrain]

I was a bit bored, so I build this... I've no idea what kind of ship it might be though...

[Taristin]

Hmm. I'm torn.

The ship is a very primitive shape, however, the greebling and shadows make it look alot fancier.

[The Trivial Psychic]

The layout reminds me of the Narn T'Loth.

[DaBrain]

Yeah, that's right. ;)


Edit: It's kinda hard to get more shape in there now...

[Axem]

Meow mix!

[Grug]

Woah cool guys! :D

*just notices the date*

*runs*

[MatthewPapa]

looks like the jabba the hut barge. nice detail

[Taristin]

That was from christmas eve... :wtf:

Also, it's a very simple shape with a ton of bevelling.

[Axem]

The greebling was very basic. I didn't like it and removed it soon after. It doesn't look right if all you do is inset, extrude and bevel.

[Star Dragon]

LOL a glance at it reminds me of Thunderbird 1 meets a battleship. heh.. I like it.

Ready for download when?

[Grug]

Someone try and make the Warhammer40k battleships. They have heaps of greebles and tiny details.

[Axem]

Star Dragon: Thunderbird 1? More like Thunderbird 2 if anything (Oooh, which gives me ideas to model).

But you'll probably see the model in game... never. It's for a completely different universe than FreeSpace that I doubt I could get off the ground. It's just for me I suppose.

Anyway, to keep up in the spirit of 3d art, here's some recent WIP.

[Taristin]

See... that's significantly better.

Very nice revival looks like a viper that got sucked into a black hole with the Blackbird. ^_^

Also damn the last 2 pages have some sexy stuff posted. I don't think if drooled this hard in weeks!

[Mav]

VERY nice models here :) . I especially like the GTI Aion ;) :yes: .
Will have to post something here one day, too. Sadly I currently don't get much to modeling :( . Will also have to finish the ~10 alpha-versions that are lying around my backups for my personal FS-Mod (that propably will only be completed after the Big Crunch :sigh: ) .

It's another ship! Yay?

I know I subconsciously stole the general design from something, but from what, I'm not sure.

Front - don't know.
Heck - (very good) futurized version of the Wing Commander 3 Victory (Carrier) . :) :yes:


And the 2nd model on this page (p3) reminds me of an up-gunned version of the Starcraft:Broodwar Valkyrie - which DOESN'T mean that I think it's bad. :)

[DaBrain]

I've started working on this last week... not the most recent pic, but I don't have anything else here atm.

This is just the basic shape. And I've no idea what I could use it for...

Hmm... I was kinda more going for a 'Star Trek shuttle, meets I-War' syle.

Well, I think I've seen this ship before. Which game is it from?

[Mav]

Hmm, the wing section (how it encloses the rest of the hull) reminds me of something - though I can't really say of what...
Looking good, though :) .

[Star Dragon]

It's sick! (that means I want it...)

And Supernova, did you ever make a FS2 friendly veriosn of your avatar??? (Trust me, I haven't forgotten to bug you about it, it's only been like a year since I last asked) :D

[DaBrain]

Woah, nice!

Is that for Infinity?

[supernova]

Sparta MKII (Hunter class) 85M in length. And yup, it's for Infinity. I'm about 70% finished with the UV map atm. It's a real beotch!

My avatar:

Typhon Class Assault Frigate...it's been remodeled and revamped, poly budget increased by about 800%, and it's now a nearly finished model for Infinity also. Sorry Star Dragon.

It is a scout ship.

Something I was tinkering with one night.

[karajorma]

Now that's an interesting design. :D

[AncientAngel]

If you guys want it just let me know, got to much stuff to do currently to texture it out etc...

[AdmiralApolloFTW]

Ok, HUGE bump, and my first post outside the BTRL sub-forum, but I just made this using DOGACGA. (Animation so I do not have to use heaps of piccys)

Yeah, All I did was connect a few of the parts and resize some...
I am lazy.

[Hades]

*Bump*
I see your fighter and raise my frigate.

[AncientAngel]

I'll see your frigate and raise a Super Dimensional Fortress (wip)

Excellent stuff, Angel :yes:

[Rodo]

holy crap! those look insanely good

[themodman101]

@ Ancient Angel:
Is it possible to use ambient occlusion in the program that you are using??
That would make it look insanely awsome.. :D

It awsome anyway though... ;)

[DaBrain]

Looks a bit like Truespace to me... but it's kinda hard to guess. Most 3d packages could create a similar picture.

I'm doing a bit of 3D for fun now, thanks to trueSpace. http://starbrightillustrations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/grey-angel-spaceship-more-detail-thumb2.jpg My poor old laptop has a meltdown if I try anything too ambitious though, so I have to cheat and finish off my images in photoshop.
