Evening all,
So ive been playing around, and decided on making a Science class ship.
I have no idea of the roles, i haven't really thought that far, who knows, something with regards to research, moons or something? Ideas welcome.
Here is the latest rendered picture, shes about 50% complete. The texture is far from perfect and needs alot of work, she needs more lights and a lot more work, but figured i'd let you all see my progress.
Its taken around 4 hours to get to this point.

I want that very much.
There REALLY needs to be a ship which has inherent bonuses to Archaeology/Hacking and maybe salvaging or even gas cloud mining.
Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished.

Looks very good!
I'd expect to see more bits sticking out of the hull for a Min vessel, but maybe that's just me being racist? =================================================

Fill the open area in the carry handle with a solar panel and add some sciency looking antennas/waldos to various spots around the hull and you have a win. I rather like the texture so far as it reminds me of a rusted flattened metal trash can.

Its an good looking model but it doesn't really say science vessel.
If you can handle some criticism ill offer some.
I really dislike the ****pit and I assume what is the be a vertical "wingy bit"/Mast. I might suggest reducing the ****pit and moving it back to the rear possibly incorporating it with the vertical mast at the back (deleting the forward structs?)
Looking at the Mast at the back i would suggest that it would be an good location for sensor equipment? dishes, radar domes. have a look at a sensor equipment on a modern destroyer or any navy ship Possible Reference Material
Minmatar ships tend to also include Strut sensors similar to the Sulaco which may be interesting additions to the front.
Finally I think another role you mentioned was a dedicated Gas harvester in which case you might wish to look at how you might be able to include the ORE turret mounts from the exhumer class ships.
Anyway keep up the good work.

It doesn't look very science-y. Where are the satellite dishes? The probing modules or antennae coming out of it, that sort of thing. It looks a bit more like a drone ship with the bay in the front. Otherwise it looks quite matari-ish.

Or it could be a corridor on a spacestation docking or something of those lines. It looked like he could of got his imspiration from a lot of different objects none of which are related to the Thorax or related hull types.

Design crit:
It isn't a very unified design. Even if it *is* Minmatar, it still needs to have a good silhouette with all of it's parts coming together to contribute to the whole assembly instead of standing out as unique parts stuck together separately.
Technical crit: you still have some texture stretching and some other minor issues. I'd double check your unwraps and finish out the details on your second pass when/if you redesign it.
Did you paint those textures yourself or did you source them from an existing bunch of art? If you painted them from scratch, that's a very good first pass with the exception of the front 'windshield' of the ****pit area.

Well done with the Minmatar look. Quite god art.
Though it could be more "complex", as most Minmatar ships have alot of "bits". It's a pretty major part of the Minmatar look.
But then again that increases development time/art time massively, so I can understand why you left it out :-)

use red lights. it's minmatarish.
is that front gate kind of thingie? where does it open? sliding up/down would take it out of hull. maybe make it classic door swing.
great textures :)

I chose blue, as its less of a combat ship. Ie the Scimitar and Claymore use blue lights and are very role specific, as she isn't a combat ship im leabing more towards the blue tbh.
Yes the front bit is like a hangar, and yes it slights up and down -i know what you're saying but it slides into itself =p, who knows... Salvage Drone bay anyone?
Thanks for your comments.

As previously stated, shes no where near finished, so yes further refinement is needed. I still haven't finished the engines, the hard points (assuming we're following the lines of maybe some kind of harvesting bonus) and various other things.
Some DEV input would be lovely too.

For a more "minmatar" look, i'd cut it in half and add struts.
Now it's; ||||
So make it; ||-||
Kinda "break" it.
Also it could use some useless metal grids etc.

I think i would need to be wider due to it being a science vessel and the fact is scientists have tons of stuff to do their jobs so i'd expect it would need to be bigger!

This could work with what i said.
Break it in half vertically, add struts, some "walk ways", attach the engines and "wingy top bit" to the structures in between

This could work with what i said.
Break it in half vertically, add struts, some "walk ways", attach the engines and "wingy top bit" to the structures in between
the reason for the breaking is rather because now it looks like an ORE ship, with some "busted up"'ness, it would go more towards the scrap pile direction.
Tis a lot of work, it'd basically mean re-doing the entire hull.
Maybe one for another concept design.
Ive adjusted some textures and changes a few things around slightly, i'll post some updates in a few.

No pain no gain, no jam no toast
What you using? Maya, Max, Lightwave?
In any case, if splitting the hull is too much, you could always "rotate 90", copy paste and strut two hulls together

Actaully, you could duplicate the exisiting hull, add struts in between and move the vertical wingy bit to the middle of the struts.

Ah, then it's not at all a difficult task.
Just take out the "extra" bits, chop the hull in half, manually build the polygons to close it off and duplicate-mirror.
Add extra bits back, create some alpha(or not) struts and voila.
Sounds like a chore, but i'd say it's a half an hour job tops.
Then again, your design so don't listen to me

Appreciate the advice, but the hull is staying as it is chaps.
Extra detail and texures will be added though. Engines still need to be done, lights/windows still need to be sorted too.

Fair enough
You could ofcourse, suggestion, add the engines as "separate" entities and then tie them to the hull in a minmatar fashion(read duck tape and metal scraps)

Edited by: TRD 2371 on 14/07/2009 15:22:49 looks very good but for me it is not science vessel
more some kind of transport
where are all those little minmatar antennas coming out of the ship hulls
you need to make it more visible that indeed it is a science vessel
be it with antennas or other things like defector array advanced sensors analyzers
edit: now i see the second picture - good job - could use bit of tweaking here there and its almost perfect

I like the idea, and it looks great, but the shape is a bit boring for me. Maybe add another section to it? Something to break the simple tubular shape.
What about the bottom of the hull?
But yea, looks great and can't wait to see the end result.

Thats pretty great, at first I thought it was a papercraft one.
I like the wangpit further back like that have you tried getting it even furthur back (minmater do have some asymetrical ships)?
Also to me it still looks very mining vessleish, I think making it significantly wider is a good suggestion. In any case nice work.
