New Space Ship

Thanks Richard…I’ve added an alien hostile ship and I’ve managed to get it to do some nice attacking runs on the main ship with Blitz.

At the moment I’m working on a large space station which is coming along very nicely indeed.

I’ve been working on this….. on and off for about a month now. I’ts just about finished and I’m really pleased with the result.

It looks great just drifting off into space, but I think I’ll take it a bit further and bring in some weird hostile ships,
then I can have a nice galactic battle scene.

Anybody know how to do realistic starfields?

A view from the rear…sort of between decks.

And lastly from the front.

Nice looking ship Bazza. What sort of ship is it – have you got a name for it? Is it supposed to be a goodie or baddie?

Thanks Paul,

I thought it might be some form of Galactic passenger ship…carrying new settlers to distant worlds.
Don’t have a name yet but it’s a friendly goodie.

Hi bazza

The freeware version has more than I’ll probably ever use.

Allmost forgot! Great ship!! <!– s8-) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!– s8-) –>

Thanks KB and thanks for the link.

I’ve been giving the freeware version a try and i’ts going to be a great help. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>
Not only with the starfields…the nebula feature on it’s own can be used to produce some nice special effects and by changing the image to greyscale in PSP I think I will be able to use it for some nice steam effects in my railway sim. <!– s:D –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!– s:D –>

Thanks again

Inspiring…I’ve never tried modeling/designing a spaceship. Must give it a go. Lovely ship bazza.Waiting for an update <!– s:D –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!– s:D –>

Thanks Les,
I had three attempts trying to get the textures to look right but seem to have got there in the end.

James, thanks

I usually have one or two ‘on the go’…something I can do when I’ve only got half an hour or so to spare.
A bit of light relief from the more serious side of most of my railway models and it’s easy to get them moving around in Blitz.
Give it a try.

Bazza,

That is a great looking ship! You have quite a talent for this stuff.

Richard.

P.S. I thought I’d already posted here.. guess I didn’t. Sorry, buddy.
