3D Model Showroom

Lessons learnt, case closed, let’s move on and see pictures of ships or bases, far more interesting.

some more ships for you all, sorry they arent textured, not my job ^_^.

Unnamed Freighter - Large Freighter for one of numerous small powers.

Unnamed Bug Light Cruiser

CL for our Bug Race. Everyone’s got to have insects to crush.

Ravenak Class Cruiser - Gertoth Enclave

Jerathak Class Frigate - Gertoth Enclave

City Ship Valhal - Rangers
The mammoth city ships of the Borderlands Rangers are used a nodal fleet and trading points. Capable of ferrying either six squadrons of battlecruisers and supporting cruiser and destoryer flotillas or two full Squadrons of the Wall (Dreadnoughts and Super Dreadnoughts) into battle, a City Ship is a force to be reckoned with.

Very interesting designs to me. I like them, but you’re still on step one. Texturing is a very important part of the final look of the models. A horrible texture in a stunning shape is a horrible ship.
And you have to take care of the ratio guns/ship sizes. Freelancer’s weapons don’t fit in all models. At least that’s what I’ve learnt in my short experience.

These are my last 3 babys:

QFT. So true!

im aware of texturing and such, and gun size. ive been doing this for quite some time, i just didnt frequent the boards untill recent. as for textures, aint my job, im just my team’s modeler. i do OK textures, they aint amazing, but my primary job is just making the ships.

and as for the ratio, for the most part, our mod calls for invisible weapons, and im in the process of making custom turrets for those that do require models.

Good to hear. Best of luck to you dude. Texturing is one of those things that takes a lot of practice. Unfortunately, I need a lot of this area too… so don’t feel bad.

From all topic some models were pleasant!
I consider that they are very well entered in Freelancer

Some capships for a custom faction in the Shattered Worlds Mod. All models were made by one of our modelers, Micheloco.

Here’s some images of a ship I just finished the other day. Haven’t converted it for Freelancer quite yet since I have about 6 or 7 other ships that will be converted along with this one (and for those of you who know where this ship is from, yes, mobile suits will be following in short order lol)

Comes in at around 9200 total polygons.

Renders are done so as to show off both the texturing and the glow mapping.

VERY nice job! hats off

Indeed very nice job!!!

And now for the Ptolemaios 2 finished last night.

Comments/critiques are quite welcome. Model stands at about 8400 polygons.

Gundam 00, eh, im more of a traditionalist when it comes to gundam, but great work so far

what program are you using for the renders?

My friend is actually doing the renders for me in 3DS Max. I’ve tried my hand at using Kerkythea but I can never seem to get the scene set up properly. Probably just a lack of playing with it but it’s not a huge deal as long as he doesn’t mind rendering them for me.

Both of these were built in Wings 3D with a total build time (modelling and texturing) of 8 or 9 hours. My next ship will be the A-Laws Battlecruiser, which I already have modeled.

In the meantime, here is a pic of my other finished 00 ship, the Virginia-class Carrier.
