Aeries' Obstitution & Family (GAH! Not you again!)
« on: August 14, 2011, 07:23:20 PM »
Yes, me.

Will be releasing this sometime in the next two weeks. Just have a few obvious details to add and she'll be ready for mapping.

Note: I built this (so far) in under 2 hours... plx don't judge TOO harshly. :P

Intriguing design! Well realised! What are you calling her? A Conberth? Obstitution?

You're actually releasing something?  Cool. :P  (I'm one to talk, with all my undeveloped projects I keep raving about.)

I really like it! The nacelles are really detailed and I like that shape...somehow they just fit really well with the curved secondary hull connector.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

It almost looks like it could be a JJVerse version of the Oberth.  Cookie for you Aries.

Obstitution? nonsense, it must be..

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

I sure did, dude! It works, so, why not? :P

Thanks! I didn't originally intend for that look, but after rendering out those screenies, I think I might just flow with it, ya'know? Besides, we don't have enough JJ-verse art, in my opinion. Gonna be tough making the pylons flow the way I want, though...

well there goes the need to redo my MKII Oberth. looks good brudda!

No, not at all! I totally encourage everyone to create their own works of art despite whether or not the subject is similar (Wiley's making that ship that looks a hell of a lot like the Mithra, for example... but hey, the thing looks pretty sweet!); promoting multiple variants and options to choose from for gamers of various styles. (Again, the Mithra, Wiley's own variant of similar design, the original Achilles I based the Mithra design on, etc...)

Edit::

Additionally, I'd like to report that the above renders were done with no special settings (just stock Mental Ray settings) so any errors could be visible at any time. I'm very happy to report that so far, this model has no errors!

though it looks like the whole dorsal deflector and secondary hull could be taken out in one shot, perhaps the neck is too long, this is still one ace ship and will be going in my install!

Thanks for the praise, guys. :]

Another update (switched to Scanline since it helps to bring out the details)

This wraps it up until tomorrow, when I hope to have the model pretty much finished and ready for mapping, texturing, and hard-pointing.
