Helwyr's Sci Fi Ship Packs WIP

Recommended Posts

Hi i'm back, Now for Explanations...

Okay so my laptop Broke it's hard drive and I lost all the models and textures that was when I Left the other Mod.

Now I have a new laptop a ASUS G73JH-X1 :cool:

So now I can continue I will be moving at a More Leisurely Pace, because I was getting burnt out at about the same time my laptop threw it HDD.

So now the Idea is to do separate Ship Pack for Each faction or Series ie "Star Wars Republic" "BSG Cylon" "Star Trek Federation" and so on

That way people can get exactly what they want without a bunch of other things.

At the moment I'm working on a Star Wars Republic Pack "I have been watching a lot of the Clone Wars" so the Venator is a little thicker than the other one.

Here are some WIP pictures off the Republic Models at the moment, I have gotten Unity 4.2.2 so now I can do Animations So the Arc 170 and Jedi Starfighter will have folding wings.

At the moment I have a Lot of texture work to do and there is a problem with the normals on most of my models so parts of the ship are Invisible in Unity or Ksp so I have to go back and manually flip about half of the triangles :(

So I hope now things can continue, I plan on improving my Texturing abilities "Sorry for all the Messy textures in the last one"

So as always I'm open to Suggestions and Help :)

"Edit"

Oops Sorry forgot the link to the old thread

Here is a Possible wing Animation for the Jedi Starfighter tell me if you think it should be different, faster, slower

I would like some input on the coloring as well.

Should I make it Yellow and Black? Or Red and Grey? Or something else.

And what color should I make the Droid?

I'd say a little faster as well, but still looks great. Any plans on adding the weapons using BDArmory, maybe some blasters for the small craft and turbolaser turrets for the lareger ones?

Maybe, I plan on making a Sci fi Weapons Pack for BD Armory but I have have to wait for the New Turret tutorial to come out.

I saw there were no sci fi weapon packs so i thought I would remedy that, as well as work on this mod, And play EVE Online, And start a YouTube Gaming series thing, and work a job and Everything else that I do and Want to do.

Someday I'll get around to everything...

OMG yes. Do you think you could do a super Super Star Destroyer or the newer Star Trek 2009 Enterprise. I was looking all over for one I could use in a video but had no luck.

Could probably just slap on mine if you can't wait for an actual sci-fi pack. :P

This is what I'm currently working on, I was planning on doing alot of the smaller craft in parts so people can mix and match.

Red.png?t=1441529394

Got Red Dwarf off of the Sketchup Warehouse as it was hard to find decent pics to go off. Still need alot of work tho and I'm thinking of designing the Asteroid Catcher to work.

Y-Wing.png?t=1441529403

I should be moving this week to a place I can get decent Internet so I will be able to help out a bit in a few weeks hopefully.

Good to see your back and cheers for pointing me to the new forum.

Very nice!!!

I've seen the Sketch up Warehouse but never used it, I just use SketchUp for making the basic models because their extrusion tools seem easier to use than Blenders.

Then I move the basic model I made into Blender and do all the fine tuning there.

I like the Y-Wing it looks more "canon" than mine, My mock up is alot slimmer and longer,But yours looks much more like the Films.

I love using Sketchup for rocket parts, allows for accurate measurements and I love Grouping/Components. Not to fond of downloading other peoples models but a replica is a replica, I'll just build what I need to for some of these as it's quite time consuming as you should know.

Cheers, had a look at alot of pictures and chose the two in the background to mash together. Ive got a few craft in that layout that I'm planing on doing so I thought I shall list them.

V-Wing ; 170 Starfighter ; E-Wing Escort ; T-65BR X-Wing Recon ; Tie Interceptor ; NSSIS-Class Clawcraft

Anyway after I complete a couple and work out fuel resources ect. I'll send you a copy to see how compatible our parts are, should make for some interesting screenshots.

Sorry I'm Late...

So my senior year of High School is really speeding up and I've fallen behind in my Studies due to the time I've been spending on this mod, And gaming in general I really need to catch up.

I thought I would still be able to work on it on the weekend, but I've taken A weekend job, so sadly I wont have time for gaming or modding :(

I still want this mod to go somewhere, So Lt Vax is a gift from "someplace very nice" LOL He is very good from what I've seen and is more than capable to complete stuff.

However he has a job so don't expect stuff every day, He has some very neat Ideas that it would be cool to see finished but I wont be able to :(

Now I don't think I'll be back on the Forum at all after this, I simply don't have the time.

I'm really sorry to leave you guys again, I really am but I cant keep this up and things are falling apart on the outside world.

I've really enjoyed the forum and the sense of community, and all the cool mods other people have made:cool:

So I'm going to try to hand the thread over to Lt Vax, I doubt I'll be back on the forum again, so Bye.

Sorry I complained so much:blush:

Too bad you're busy right now. I liked that Traveller Scout Ship you did in the previous thread. I think a Traveller pack would be great for those of us who've played the game. (I've played what's now called Classic Traveller.) There are so many great and iconic ships for the game. That alone could lead to an interesting set of mods. Gravity drive--perhaps reachable late in a mod like Interstellar or even a jump drive could be interesting with the original source's constraints. Fuel could be scooped up around gas giants or pumped in. Week-long jumps with distance limitations based on the engine and ship tonnage, ... The balance could be worked out reasonably well.
