My first attempt at 3d....

Hmm... you could do it anyways. Just import it to blender or some other 3D Programm, unwrap it and paint it. The object is not that complex and therefore actually quite good for a beginner. It might be a big large though.
Could look very nice when rendered with a real 3d Program.

Just checked, Blender wont export it. Now, if someone is interested in doing some texturing for me, that would rock my socks off.

Here we are, introducing the big dog himself in all this 13.5km glory:

You can export to 3ds or obj if you have the full version of sketchup. There are also ways to import free version files of sketchup to blender.

For those that asked for some kind of scale, here you go:

Thats a Super Stardestroyer, the Titanus (my big ship) and the BC002 (my original concept drawing). SSD is roughly 17.5km, Titanus is 13.5km and BC002 is 3.5km long.

Revised the Titanus model:

And a revised comparison chart:

These don't scale right.

It was a quick job I did, didnt really bust out the calculator. You get the general idea though, hopefully.

What are the canards for?

Grahf: Seeker Of Power · Post by **Grahf: Seeker Of Power** » 2007-08-29 11:12pm

Well, in the fiction, i have no idea what the function would be for. Technicaly, purely as an artistic exercise, the canards are there to bring visual weight/balance to the design.

UPDATE 11/04/2007: Was bored and while sipping on some Steel Reserve decided to update my orthographic design for the Titanus. Feel free to critique:

These have a nice aggressive look, particularly in the side-elevations.

It looks a lot like one of the battlecruisers from StarCraft.

I dig the last few. Very original looking. Good job.

I like the hammerhead ship. The last one has an pointy, angular Orii feel (with the opening in the middle).

Nice

The hammerhead one is cool, but it looks too much like the big Klingon ships from DS9.

Cool. They remind me of the UNAN ships from the old Turning Point game, or some of the ships from Dream Pod 9's CORE Command RPG. Both fairly obscure, right enough.

UPDATE: Did some final revision on my last model. A couple of big changes and quite a few small additions. Orthographic coming in next few days:

The hammerhead one is darn close to the Terran Battlecruiser from Starcraft.

Nice though the last one needs more gravitic driver blades (the 'canards' and long plates aft of the engine nozzles in your other designs).

If that's not what they are, they can be phased array antennas or heat/neutrino radiators.

Or they can do all three
