Just when I think you've finally reached as far as you can, you surprise me once more. One would think that by now, I would know better. A most impressive piece of work. But then again, you've been turning out things of this quality for years. She is quite beautiful. As always your attention to details is one of the things I admire most about your work.

You've done very well on that model mate, truly great work on your part. I do think the hull needs to be a lot darker but that is a texture issue. :thumbsup:

I don't often feel the need to jump on the bandwagon in saying nice, well done, etc. But in this instance...

Holy Mother of God!

Doing her justice Chile. :thumbsup:

Hello:
Nice!!:shock: awesome work man.

Thank you :excited:.

HOLY SMOKES. You actually made Destiny?! That's a huge accomplishment in of itself Chile! Well done, I like it very much!!!

Thank you, I admit it was very tricky to do but I think it was worthy.

Thank you, I think that I always try to make the models the way I want them to look in the game, so I try and balance in the best way I can, the details that come as part of the mesh and the ones that can be added as texture details. So I can always try to get the less polies possible :thumbsup: .

awsome ship dude well done looking forward to seeing your future works

Thank you.

And there will be a couple more SGU ships coming :D .

You've done very well on that model mate, truly great work on your part. I do think the hull needs to be a lot darker but that is a texture issue. :thumbsup:

Thank you.

Well, it was very hard to get a proper color because most scenes I have seen with the ship are very dark. If I was able get proper colors for BSG, 8472, Farscape and Andromeda ships was because of official orthos and scenes with more lighting.

But when I test Destiny ingame, I will try and get pics to post here so we can all decide if colors are ok :) .

Looks great man! I really need to get into SGU methinks.

Thanks, and I think I should too :lol2: . I have seen only some episodes and they were good, shame the show was cancelled :( .


Thank you very much.

:Y Stunning work my friend, truly exceptional!

Great work man:thumbsup:

Thank you :thumbsup: :) .

Hello:
Yay! for double postings, but this is for another model so no need to merge I think, hehehehe.

This is my model of the Ancient Shuttle we could see docked on Destiny. It has 742 polies and I completed it not long ago.

Nice work again Chile, just don't forget to darken the hull to match the ships from the series. Use some screencaps if you need to so you can get roughly close.

And thank you.
As for the colors, since most scenes I have seen are pretty dark it is hard to get a color, but today I got a nice HD pic of Destiny with the Seed Ship so I will use that to try and match the colors, specially because that pic has quite good lighting.

But I am not to ofar away, maybe just a little bit darker :cool: .

Hello:
And thank you Dan1025! :) .

As un update (without pics though) I modified the Shuttle to fix proportion issues since I was using pics of a fan-made model as reference and some screencaps. But the Shuttle didn't fit well on my Destiny :shock: . Until now, hehehe, when I found a screencapr from the show shoring the shuttle in an exact side view, so I used it to fix mine :excited: .

Eventually I'll show more pics, I just want to complete a model I am workin on now first.

Hello:
Well, it has been a while since someone posted around here so I might show a little teaser of what will be coming. The pic doesn't show much but I tried to emulate a scene from SG:U.

I also altered the hull color as requested and it looks much better. I hope you'll all like this little pic.

Ya know, Chile, you are the only guy I know who can take "99.99% perfect" and improve it, rofl. Wrote it. Meant it.

Muchas gracias, mi compadre, for all the great stuff you've shared with us over the years.

Thanks, and yes, I am posting more pics now :D .

It makes me very happy that people like what I do, it is a great feeling and I just hope that I can keep on improving with time, like we all can :) .

And now, I am posting pics of my Ancient Seed Ship.

This ship was very hard to make, due to the shape (as it goes as an inverted U in the main body and engine) and not all references were good ones, but I liked the result.

As always, comments are always welcome :thumbsup: .

Beautiful work Chile and I think you got the hull colour as close as one can without the RGB# code. Beautiful work mate, top quality stuff. Looking forward to seeing some in-game shots when the time is right for you.

The ship looks amazing Chile, and the texture alterations are certainly an improvement. Can't wait to see them ingame :D

And thank Majestic, I am still making some tweaks and thinking in odf ideas and weapon sprites, then I'll take ingame pics :) .

Thank you, and to be honest, I also want to try these ships ingame, hehehe.

Thanks, I was also surprised how they looked with the changes, it was a nice advice by Majestic.

Beautiful man, that ship is just beautiful. Amazing work as always.

Thanks, I also think the Seed Ship is a nice design, I would wish to see more in the serie and/or other Ancient designs... but at least we got to see this one :cool: .

Taking advantage of the texture tweaks, here is my update to the Ancient Shuttle. I hope you'll all like it.

That is a tricky question because we don't get to see more Ancient designs of that era and/or stations, so to design something can be tricky :angel:.

Anyways, there are two more models I wish to show you all. First is the Repair Robot, I guess it can be used as a Bee for Ancient race of that era.

RepairRobotmodel01.jpg

RepairRobotmodel03.jpg

RepairRobotmodel02.jpg


And... well, it cannot be Stargate without the item that gives the reason for the name and the plots, so here is my version of the generation1 Stargate, build by Seed Ships.

SGUGatepic01.jpg

SGUGatepic02.jpg


And a prototype SpaceGate, like those in the Pegasus galaxy.

SGUGatepic04.jpg


Would these pics help with ideas on how they could be used ingame?

Hello:
Well, nobody has ideas... then I guess I will go for some things I thought about, like some sort of transwarp gates, or maybe even custom wormholes... we'll see.

Anyways, SG stuff is on hold for now until I can get inspiration back (I am kinda burned-out) so Imight do other modding in the mean time.

I might post updates... eventually :lol2: .
