Another new design.....

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

Trying something Yamato-ish to add to my collection. Let me know what you think.

[Eternal_Freedom]

Looks pretty cool. A nice sleek design that allows all the guns a good field of fire

I got real Homeworld 2 vibes, looks a lot like a higaran destroyer

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

Added some CIWS turrets, missile turrets, and a sensors array.

[Eternal_Freedom]

Now it looks reminiscent of a Bothan Assault Cruiser

At any rate, it's a great looking design and a very nice model

I'm not too big a fan of the scow bow or the forwardmost gun turret, but otherwise she's awesomesauce. I suspect both can be fixed by extending the lines forward to (maybe almost) a point or edge and maybe moving that turret about half its own length into a deeper notch. It also seems the ship has a more-turrets less-spinal-gun bias, unless you plan on making that wavegun a double-barrel one. I LOVE those superposed main engines though! Maybe you can make the wavegun an O/U to match?

[Kenny_10_Bellys]

Very nice looking, but I'm with Einy on the forward turret and bow. The turret overhanging like that just looks very odd, and the bow from the front looks very bluff and plain. Much improved renders though, you switched to Kerkythea or something?

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

I'm still using SU podium. I have done a few tweaks and Ill upload them later.

What tool are you using for these?

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

Google Sketchup Free Edition.

[Knife]

wow, you've learned a lot about it if you can do that with sketch.

[Imperial528]

Grahf, I'd like to know where you got the textures for it, the plating textures wrap so nicely, and they don't look like they're a single repeating image unless you look for it.

Also, are you using the purchase or free version of Podium?

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

Give me your email and Ill just send you the model itself. It will have all the textures saved in the paint box. Im using the purchased version of podium.

[Ryan Thunder]

Well, shit, that's just even more impressive then.

Wow, thanks. My gmail is just my username. ([email protected])

Another new one:

[Marko Dash]

the colored versions seem to have a very spaceship yamato feel to them, just without the dorsal bridge.

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

Not exactly new but modestly revised:

[Kenny_10_Bellys]

Nice improvements there. A bit more detail, nice proportions, weapons not ridiculously big, detailed engines, etc. It's looking really nice now, well done.

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

Been messing around with Kerkythea and did a couple of scene renders:





And this image shows a couple of details like the main guns, CIWS system, and escape pods:

[Imperial528]

Man, even without texture, that first shot is amazing. If you ever texture and add lighting, it'd be a sight to behold indeed.

[HeadCreeps]

That ship is absolutely a great design!

Obligatory backseat driver art critique: It feels just a bit underdetailed in the last shot, though, in the sense that it feels like there should be detail lines on various parts to build contrast/make it seem like this ship isn't a(n incredibly well done) stone statue. That, or slightly different hues on individual parts if you want the entire ship to be monocolor.

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

[Kenny_10_Bellys]

Looking very good, some texturing and a nice render and these could stand with anyone's models.

[Grahf: Seeker Of Power]

Working on revising my destroyer and frigate:
