Title: Aeries' Obstitution & Family (GAH! Not you again!)
Post by: Aeries 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.)

An interesting design. Looking forward to seeing how she comes out.

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.

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

whada you mean "almost"?  it looks like one of Baz's JJ refits in Oberth form.  I look foreward to DLing this.

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

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

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!

Post by: flarespire on August 20, 2011, 06:40:19 PM
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.

I really like what you did with the warp engines, especially the front bussard design.

Post by: Aeries on August 21, 2011, 05:35:02 PM
Thanks boys. :)

Pretty much done with her now. Just gotta fix a few screw-ups max caused when it suddenly crashed on me a few minutes ago, but beyond those minor issues, she's done and ready for mapping. :)

Stay tuned for Obstitution variants, such as the Constivelvin and Reliaberth. :P

Post by: Aeries on August 21, 2011, 06:29:04 PM
Thanks, MarkyD!  :) Long time no chat, btw.

Another update; probably the last one I do until my next day off. I went and speed-bashed the model to create the "Reliaberthelvin" version of the ship. Honestly, I almost prefer this over the original. Lol. Just thought I'd include this one for those who simply can't live without their third nacelle. :)

Edit: Just fyi, both ships are already in the process of being mapped by Limey before I take over again for the texturing process. Though, I will need someone willing to script these two, and I'd also like a small collection of names to choose from. There's already going to be the following:

-USS Grissom (the oberth, obvs.)
-USS Kelvin (A) (Mr. Tri-nacelle, obvs.)

I want two more names for both, so a total of four names. My next day off work is thursday, so I'll decide which I like best at that point.

Cheers!

Post by: FarShot on August 21, 2011, 09:15:33 PM
Looks pretty awesome, though I think you should move the third nacelle back so that it doesn't obscure the sensor dome so much.

praise appreciated. ;)  have you ever hp'd nu-wave style weapons? I mean, pulse phasers as seen in Trek '09? and running that alongside normal phasers and the torpedos? (sorry, just havent ever used any of ur mods before! Im flyin' blind, capn'!)

Startrek 9? that's insurrection. I can do tng and tmp phaser styles easy, JJverse phasers were a cross between tmp and pulse weapons, I suppose either beam or pulses could be utilized for the effect. I've cleared 500+ ships I am sure I can figure something out, and ofcourse I've got a library of premade fx from all the masters to toy with as well.

I think you're behind the times...Trek '09 means Trek 2009....:P *runs*

you generaly refer to trek movies by number of movie, not year. ( is insurrection. JJverse is 11. Or STXI.)

well I refer to the year when I say " '09". fair enough, tho. anyway, goal is to have these as JJ-Verse ships. Additionally, I intend to build a JJ-TMP Akayazi, Constitution, and Excelsior. Still feeling up to the task?

Also, 500? that's a LOT.

While I personally think the one with two secondary hulls is a little too busy, I still like it regardless, and I can't wait to see your interpretation of a JJ-TMP Constitution and Excelsior.
Title: Re: Aeries' Obstitution & Family (GAH! Not you again!)
Post by: Starforce2 on August 28, 2011, 08:27:40 PM
well one isn't a sec hull it's a powerplant (atleast it was on the oberth, other ships have used it as a sensor pod) so it technicly has one sec hull and a mission specific pod. It could be interchanged with a weapons pod (multi-tube launcher that includes side launcher perhaps?)

Poor Limey's got his hands full with my stuff and his own projects, so I'm moving on to modeling my own version of the Akayazi I've named after a particularly pretty part of my city I'd like to live in.

My friends, I introduce to you the Kitsilano.
