3D Model Showroom

Just a note Fagu, you should turn up the lighting when you render out models. I have a hard time actually seeing your models because the shadows are so dark.

I suggest you set up a simple, re-usable 3-point lighting rig. Or, at the very least use an ambient light like a dim Skylight if you’re using 3DS Max.

I find that most modeler’s weakness isn’t so much in their actual modeling technique, it is that they don’t know how to show off their work. A good render that is well lit will make a model shine.

Other than that, nice work on the models. They would make good additions to the Freelancer universe and fit right in from a stylistic perspective. Exactly the type of Freelancer models I like.

Couple old lighting examples I have lying around.

Thanks for teh advice, I used Skylight and Daylight system for this one. Now you should be able to see the ship easily.

If only they looked as good in the game as you’re able to make them look in your renders Why, freelancers lighting sucks.

My latest model, the Nahel Argama-class Assault Landing Ship from Gundam Unicorn. Colors have been militarized a bit more than she appears in the anime, and I’ve added her name plates and and some random combat achievement markings. She’s 6628 triangles with three 2048x2048 textures. Hope you guys like.

damn good!!

The model is very nice, there’s just one thing I don’t like though:

The texture is too colored, but that’s probably just my opinion.

Niceee…btw I am wondering that there are tons of ships from SW, ST, B5, BSG but only few LOGH, Gundam, Macross, and none Battletech

I know at least one mod with 14 different ships from Robotech.

I know that there are Robotech ships in NSU…btw the Tokugawa is missing :(…but I never seen a Legend of Galactic Heroes or Battletech ship in a FL mod…

I would kill for a good Macross game. Robotech Battlecry from awhile ago was pretty good. Too bad the Macross games that get created and sold in Japan will never be localized and released here. I hate Harmony Gold for the extensive legal douchebaggery they pull, one of which is forever preventing Macross anything from being (legally) released stateside.

Look down… at the sig… I have quite a few more 8-) last year went nuts converting a fair few of them… they still sit converted but un-HP’d if anyones interested

Some ION cannon model I made. No texture yet.
I’d like some comments.

Which size is it meant to be? For a battleship? Also I would probably make the base a bit shorter.

Looks a mounted macinegun rather than a Ion Cannon turret.

So becouse the missile launcher turret models never get into the Void mod. I am releasing it for public use…If any one is ineterted PM me.

Holy crap…looks amazing

Very impressive Nova. You using the original textures to texture it or are you making your own?

Thanks. Yea, textures are default.

Here is the CMP, if somebody need. I dont know why, but in game it mirrored top/bottom. I really wondered because CMP made right. Maybe somebody knows the answer.
I had to rotate to make this screen: http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/2649/15384954.png
