Pirates Main Spaceship

[Andy]

Hey Guys!!!!

I'm making the Pirates Main Ship, so the main station for the Orxonox pirates.

Please see my wiki page for hints and replies.

Be nice: Make comments! I'll appreciate that!

Hey Andy, just checked out your model. No mistakes, but you should add a lot more details. You have plenty of faces left you can use. Time is a critical factor so get at it soon.

Yo andy!

I like the overall design of your mobile space-station. You are surely on a good way. But like Beni I suggest to add more details to the model (meaning more structure). Because the details attract the viewers, they create interesst and make the space shipt look complex. And complex looking stuff is considered to be cool

Andy, you also got two different engine couplings (the newer ones look like wings). Which of them will you use? Because the older look cooler somehow.

I would integrate your drawings also into the wiki page, to get some feedback on them as well.

ciao andy

Your model looks good. I can't find any errors. What tool/modifier did you use when you checked your mesh for errors in the last lesson?

Edit: I just took a look at your timetable: don't underestimate texturing! maybe you'll need more time, so you should start a week earlier.

[Andy]

All right, things are going on hehehe! The engines are pretty much done. Now I only need to care about some more details, so:

Please please please

Send me any idea for any detail that comes in your mind (such as antennas, doors, texture ideas, and so on!), so that I can add more and more and more stuff to the ship and make it look really great!

Thank you!!! -->> andreamo@ee.ethz.ch <<--

i just checked out the sreenies, the engines of the ship look really hot!!.
some ideas:
- yeaa, antennas and perhaps some kind of satellite dish
- textures: rosty metal, its a pirate ship, they stole half of their ship and the other half is from an interstellar waste dump, i think you should see that the ship didnt just came ouf of a facility, its rather and old ship with lecks, errors ... like han solos millenium falcon

[patrick]

Cool ideas! Perhaps you also want to make the ship a little asymmetrical with the details, I think this would be realistic, too!

Now here are some pictures of detailed hulls from more or less known space ships:

Got to the end....well, I'm getting closer!

Please go to my https://dev.orxonox.net/wiki/PirateMainShip wikipage and look at RAGNAR, the main Pirate Spaceship.
It can travel 4 times the speed of light, can dock 300 little ships and store food and stuff for the whole Pirate crew!

Looking forward to your comments!!!

OMG, another bug in Orxonox

Looks great, I like it

[patrick]

Yes, the ship now looks much more scary and impressive!

A pirat I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the sea!

Hey guys!!

Texture are going on very good so far!

[Nowic]

It looks good!
No distortions, but the texture looks a little grainy. Make your texture big enough (1024x1024 or 2048x2048). Making it smaller is not a problem... but making it bigger. Or do you have very small texture assignments? When you have unwrapped all faces, scale them up so you use the whole texture.

Tipp: Draw some lines (or structures) on you texture to support the shape of you model (on a new layer with transparency and a nice effect mode (add, substract, burn or similar)).

[Nowic]

Hi Andy and Marco. Please upload your textures too. xcf and jpg/png!

[Nowic]

Hi Andy. We need the *.mlt file of the export, too. Please also make smaller versions of your texture (512 and 256).
Thx.
