Contest Entry WIP - Amateur - A08

[Amateur]

Well, I've been looking forward to this - here's my entry. The technobabble is based partly on Homeworld...

The first hyperdrive works, in layman's terms, by opening a door and kicking the ship through before the universe realises that this is impossible. That definition is completely wrong - but a proper one is very complex and the word 'quantum' would be used a few times; as would, inexplicably, be the word 'milk'

Anyway; this ship (which has no name at the moment) was created to house the first hyperdrive. There is one snag - the elements required to build the primary engine are very rare - and all traces of it in the inner solar system were used up making this engine. In other words, this is an untested drive system.

Still needs some work - I've started the detailing (as visible) but need to think of some more bits to add. Currently at two thousand polies.

Very cool design,

 

[Majestic]

Indeed a very good design and I look forward seeing it progress.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Definitely cool, Max or something else?

 

[Amateur]

Definitely cool, Max or something else?

Yeah, Max. Been using it for close to two years now. Quite a steep learning curve but once you learn something it can be used to do just about anything.

Thanks all - I was going for bold, hard lines to emphasise an industrial history.

 

[Syf]

An impressive looking desing so far.

 

[SquireJames]

Hehe I love the "technical" description. Reminds me of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

 

[Aerilon]

Looks quite good, very detailed too.

 

[Amateur]

Thanks again everyone, a little more work done...

Mainly just a texture colour test. I didn't want to make it the grey colour that seems to be standard with ships.

Now she's 5000 polies, getting there

 

[Syf]

Owww, pretty! I love the fine detail your adding to it.

 

[Majestic]

Looking awesome Amateur, I am really liking this design.
