Models giveaway

I prefer deviantART instead of google and its crappy picture search.

I think when it comes to starships it is hard to make a totally unique ship. Most of them have common or similar design elements.

Sizer

You just gotta know how to treat google right, Kuze.

How about I make partial refs (i.e. outline only) that way I’ll decide how to mold it from the initial shape. I’ll need help making the textures afterwards.

Kuze

Hmm what are you exactly talking about? By these refs you mean concept sketches and doodles of ships?

Sizer

Reference is anything. Screenshots of films, concept art, other models, photos of IRL machinery. References are images you refer to for realism and concept (yes, dumb definition, but that’s what it is).

GeoCalibur

Ok, perhaps this will clarify things. An outline ref is a reference showing only the exterior outline of the concept. This type of reference is commonly used in tests involving creativity, because no detail is given inside the outline. It’s like an deciphering an inkblot, it can be whatever you mind tells it to be. Unlike the inkblot, the outline determines the models bounds and proportions.

If you’re still confused, go back to the inkblot analogy, heck, even look at inkblots. You’ll understand what I mean.

Hey Sol, just wanted to drop a note saying that your work is pretty damn good. I’ve been keeping an eye on it ever since you started several years ago. I think I’m starting to see Star Citizen references in your latest work.

I’m thinking of using some of your models for a little project I’m working on in Unity, so I thought I would let you know. Keep up the great work!

@Why485 Glad you still working on it! 8-)

SolCommand

Cheers mate. I’m really glad my models are of use to your Unity project. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out

Hey guys

Here are two more models that you may use:

They look great, the first one looks like the Alliance capship from the Intro movie.

Take a look at the name. It’s the Coalition ship from the Intro

SolCommand

Glad you guys like them.

Now, I’m having some trouble figuring out a name / class / purpose for these 3 ships (with similar design) so I was wondering if you guys could help out with this problem
This design was inspired by >this pic<.

First one:

Second:

1 Nautilus - looks fit for exploration
2 Malice - definitely looks like it intends to do harm
3 Cerberus - the two headed dog that guards the gates to hell innit

SolCommand

Hehe cheers. Sometimes when I come across a pic of a spaceship or something I get lots of ideas as to how I could make my own version of that, so work goes quite fast
Glad you guys like it and thanks for those names you picked, they’re perfect !!
Gonna go now and post them on my site and also upload them on the server.

Cheers again.

SolCommand

I’m guessing this one could be used for a museum or target practice :))

khayman

Really great work there sol.
Your last one reminds me of a rocket i built in Kerbal space program that was used as a kamikaze weapon.

SolCommand

Today I have a new mining command ship for you. I recently saw a concept art of this thing and I just HAD to make a 3D model after it, anyway, here it is. Enjoy
