Hello all, After seeing a player post on his concept drawings of what he wants for tier 3 battleships. I took the liberty of converting his Amarr tier 3 battleship drawing and modeling it into 3D model. Take note that this is my very first model to add to my sample files for when I attempt to try to get into the 3D graphics part of game design. Note: The drawing's are really rough and in need of texturing.
Here is Noriath's drawing of the Amarr Tier 3 Battleship, Impaler:
Concept Art
Here are some pictures of my 1 Month crusade to turn this drawing into 3D reality:

Credits:
Thanks to Blender for making the best freeware 3D graphics design program.
Thanks to Noriath for drawing the designs for the ship and aspiring me to get into the 3D graphics world.
Thanks to Roush Winberd for reviewing my different phases of the project and keeping me afloat when I thought it was impossible.
Thanks to you for leaving (hopefully) constructive feedback on what I need to improve.
If some of the links dont work please tell me, thanks.

I'll say it first, it looks like a handgun.

Nice work... But it looks like a handgun man... =/ Tier 3's should look fearfull and powerful, not make somebody think of it as a copy of another real life object.

That concept looks really nice, I can only see 6 turrets though. :'(
As for the model, well...
First of, have you learnt about smoothing groups in blender yet? That will make those flat faces on the top there shade across to look like a smooth plate (you smooth groups of faces so the shader automatically groups them, hence smoothing groups).
Also, and this is constructive, not derogatory, but there is a vague similarity. I don't confess to know blender (yet, I've found some uber tutorials, which I will gladly send you a link for), but that plate on the top section of the ship is a whole different shape to your model. Aswell as some other errors.
As for the lighting, I think most of the more pro modellers tend to use one global light, then with 2 or 3 directional lights of varying brightness to give the *appearence* of being in space (really bright from one direction), but giving enough light to actually see the geometry on the rest of the ship (I know, in space, it's PITCH black if there's no light, but we need to see the model fully to appreciate it, and form comments).
Don't take any of this as me being nasty, I take my hat off to those who can use more complex modelling software than I can, and I know it takes MONTHS to get even remotely good at blender (I've toyed with Max 7 and Maya 6, god damn). Keep up the work, this ship looks like a very cool design.
Where did the concepts come from may I ask? Are there any for the other races?
And on that note, keep it up man, I know how much of an uphill struggle 3D modelling is, I've been dying to get back into modelling, I regular on scifi-meshes.com (a very good resource), and I'm awe struck by the skill of some of those guys, but lazyness got the better of me . You should check them out, there's alot of blenderheads over there, and the produce some awe inspiring detail. As I say, keep it up, and if you want the link to those tutorials, just let me know.

looks like a hairdryer to me 
anyway... kinda looks like the ship to the left on this pic ____________ The cargo bay is overloaded and cannot be made to fit Expanded Cargohold I. It is currently only capable of fitting 8772.12 units and it is currently jammed full with 9558.33 units. |

You never noticed that even flying your Rifter along side an Apoc, it still seems pretty big until you zoom out? :P
Perspective man! That Titan is probably a few km away, with the focus on the Tormentor. Just get some other people who know Amarr ships inside out and they'll tell you the same. :P

Link this is the topic I used for the concept art. This is Noriath's drawing's of Amarr Tier 3 battleships.
Then agian doesnt the concept art look like a gun too?
Thanks for the suggestions.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now I recognise them (the Domi Mk II gave it away). These are old, if not cool (Domi II aside) designs. Not too sure on the Matari one, but the Caldari/Amarr ones look hawt.

That was, as far as I know, the original Amarr Titan mesh. Quite why the changed it to the Flying Mushroom of Dewm I don't know.

Take a look at CONCORD, many of them look like a rifle / gun. Coz it SHOOTS (like a gun?)
