[B5-S957] Centauri Ships

[Atlantis]

Evenin' all.

Ok, I've finally got round to making some progress on a home project I'm working on (not a game mod or anything), which involves needing models of all the B5Wars ships. It's a big job, but it's just an idle hobby.

So, I've started with the Centauri, at the beginning of the alphabet, with the Altarian Destroyer.



Next up, the Balvarin Carrier...

 

[-RJB-]

Looks very good and reminds me I have my own EA original ship to finish one day.

 

[Atlantis]

Thanks =)
Well it's for part of a big project I'm working on. The models will only be low-poly and quite low-detail, but hopefully still look good in the small images they'll be used in...

Not much progress on the Balvarin yet, not had the time, but I'll probably finish it tonight or tomorrow morning...

 

[Atlantis]

Ok, so I didn't finish it yet, but I'm getting there =)

Still needs a few details (such as engines) adding to it, and more strucutre blocks in the centre section, and then they need texturing, but it's on its way!

 

[Atlantis]

Actually, scrub that last post, here's the completed model =D



Next up, the Centurion Attack Cruiser!

 

[Majestic]

Atlantis, these are outstanding and looking awesome. Its really good to see some Centauri designs they are very well modelled.

 

[Creed]

don't know diddly about the B5 stuff you're referencing but these look cool

nice work!

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

That is some good work there.

Oh, just a question, because you are already on Centauri ships
I still need a Centauri Vorchan for AoE, and I cannot get one right myself. Since you will model the Vorchan in this line anyway, could I please have a copy for AoE?

 

[Atlantis]

I don't see why not. Well Demos isn't far down the list, and I guess I'll be making the Vorchan at the same time, haha, so yeah I'll let you know =)

 

[Atlantis]

Ok, Centurion's all done =D NEEEXT!



Next up, the Covran Scout.

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Wow, I like the details all these ships have. first class models .
Keep it up!

 

[Atlantis]

Hehe, thanks.

Well I made a few changes to the ships I made so far. When I was making the Balvarin I made the Centauri Royal Navy logo as seen in the show on the Primus, so I've added it to the Altarian, as well as changing the texture a bit to match the Balvarin and Centurion (the section underneath the head, the silver lines, etc), and added similar details to the Centurion (the silver lines mostly). The Balvarin is pretty much unchanged, but I've added a new shot just in case.



Ok, NOW I start on the Covran Scout =)

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

These are great ships!

And thanks in advance for the Primus.

 

[Atlantis]

Primus? I thought it was the Vorchan you wanted..? =P

Anywho, Covran's done. It's not very detailed in its forward sections, but neither is the artwork i'm making it from =/ But still, I'm happy with it for now.



And the fleet so far (all ships to scale):



Next: The Dargan Strike Cruiser.

 

[Atlantis]

Quickest building time yet =D.

I now present... the Dargan!



You might notice that the texture on this is different... it's a stealth ship, that's all. It's not quite Shadowtech though.

Coming soon, the Demos (and Vorchan).

Will your releasing these here as well? I've looking for a good Dargan.

[Atlantis]

I'm not sure. These aren't for a mod or game, they're for my own art project, so aren't kept to polycount limits or made with specific things in mind... They can be modified and exported, but with the current "climate" in the modding community, I'm not sure I want that.

Only time will tell...

 

[Atlantis]

Ok, so after more than 6 months, I finally have chance to continue with the s957 project, so...

The photos will be added to my album here on the forum. The first 6 ships are on there (including the Vorchan, which I just finished today).

I know the Vorchan needs a bit more work, to make the back of the wings more rounded (you can see a corner in the pic, shouldn't be there), and some stuff to be done to make the Vorchan and Demos look slightly different to each other (in the show, the Demos is bigger, that's the only 'canon' difference).

Ah well, next up, the Darkner Fast Attack Frigate.

 

[Majestic]

Atlantis, they are absolutely stunning. I am very impressed in the work you have done here. Makes me want to make a B5 RST game with your models as they look like they could be used in a high end game.

Keep up the awesome work Atlantis, as I will be keeping my eye on updates in this thread.

 

[Atlantis]

Thanks Majestic =D

Ok, I made one change to the Vorchan/Demos, and then found I can't edit the post to update the image, so here is the current one:

And now introducing the Darkner Fast Attack Frigate.

As with all of the ships in this set, it is relatively low-detail, to go with the look I'm going for. There may be a few extra things to put on it, but for now it's fine, I think.

Next up, the... hmm, I think I'll do the Haven Patrol Boat next...

 

[Majestic]

Your welcome Atlantis.

I can't wait to see the Centauri grow. Are you by chance thinking of making them stations as well or only ships?

 

[Atlantis]

Oh most certainly there'll be stations. Begining with just the "official" (Agents of Gaming) ones, then adding ones like shipyards, etc...

I've updated the textures on all the previous ships. The symbols were incorrect, but now they're all pointing the right way.

Pictures can be found here.

Also included is a screenshot of the Altarian, Balvarin, and Vorchan when put into Fleet Ops...

 

[Majestic]

Sounds great and looking awesome Atlantis.

 

[-RJB-]

So far I'm really liking the game style that your taking with the ships.

I don't know if this was asked but do you have any plans for other B5 races or is this a purely Centauri project?

 

[Atlantis]

In time I intend to do every race. I'm starting with the Centauri, then the Narns, Earth, and Minbari... then it gets a little more surreal as I go into League races, everyone from the Drazi to the Krish.

Not forgetting the Dilgar too, and the Shadows, Vorlons, Drakh... this is going to be a looooong project unless I get my arse in gear and get on with it, haha.

 

[Majestic]

I can't wait to see the Narn, going by what you have done with the Centauri. Another question if you don't mind answering. Are you going to be making any Atlantis designed vessels (aka designed by you) for any of the races?

this is going to be a looooong project unless I get my arse in gear and get on with it, haha.

It's always the way with all long projects. At least for me.
