Official **MSFC Modeling Contest** Final Entries Thread

[Syf]

Welcome back everyone to the
MSFC modeling Contest ​

[fieldset=Contest]

As you all know, the Contest is coming to a close in the next few weeks.
So modelers, as you get your entries completed and uploaded, make your
final entry submission here with a score of images for the Public to see.

Time to show off your hard work.​

[fieldset=Entry Rules]

As a reminder, here are the Final entry requirments​

For the Final Entries:​

1.) They Must be formated in 3DS or MS3D format and sent to myself. I will examine the models for poly counts and confirm them to the Judges. Any model exceeding 10,000 will automatically be disqualified from the contest. Sorry, Rules are rules.

2.) You must post at least 16 images (not te exceed 24) of your final entry in the official final entry thread.... that's this thread.

3.) All entries will be hosted on the site for all members to access. By entering the contest, you agree to allow members of MSFC to use the models for thier use, with the expection of including in content to be hosted off MSFC. This includes mods and imaging purposes. Also note, All 3DS models will be converted to MS3D format regardless and both versions will be hosted.

The August '08 Modeling Contest is hereby closed. No further entries will be accepted.

All questions and comments should be directed to the primary Contest Thread.

My Final Entry *Warning, Long Post*

Didn't get around to textures, and could have added a little more detail - but I'm happy with it...

Ok here is my final entry. It doesn't have any textures because i'm simply not good enough and I don't have any decent software to do some in so sorry. also my model is on the low poly count size. well enough blathering on here is my ship.

Here's my long over-do entry.

This concept is based on Miguel Alcubierre's Theory

X-933 "Lightning" Experimental FLT Spacecraft.

Built by sub-contractors Boeing and Lockheed for the United Earth Space Agency in 2112.

Spacecraft possesses 3 different types of propulsion.
HyperBoost-R antimatter rockets
Type L Ion propulsion thrusters
Alcubierre Spacial Distortion wave FTL drive.

Specifics:
Hyper Boost-R antimatter Rockets are a Quick Launch rocket used for all basic spaceflight systems. Able to achieve 0.09 Lightspeed. In the X-933 program, there are 3 sets of rockets used on the experimental craft. The primary, which will be used for initial Orbital and intra-solar system pre-launch flight tests, as well as initial launch on first FTL test. Secondary set are for emergency intra-solar System return and recovery, used as a backup for the primary rockets. Tetarery rocket located at the front is to return crew escape capsule in an emergency event during initial tests.

Type L Ion thrusters are an 18th generation Ion propulsion system able to propel a craft up to 0.23 lightspeed. This system is designed to allow the craft to accelerate and decelerate and function at sub-lightspeed.

Alcubierre Spacial Distortion wave FTL drive is the experimental "Faster Than Light" propulsion system. It was developed by the UESA, the space agency of the United Earth Council, after the collapse of World War 4 in 2074 and a new age for mankind began with the unification of the nations of Earth. Initial development was made on an unmanned probe sent to the Kipper Belt in 2103. The Probe reached a speed of 0.987 Lightspeed do to instability in the Alcubierre wave matrix generator. The problem was soon solved and the X-933 program was launched to build the first FTL manned spacecraft.

The central cylinder structure is the Wave generator (reactor core) that creates a "wave" through Space-Time which the ship "rides" to a destination. The rockets are ejectable once the primary tests are completed.

Sorry, I did not take more time to make proper "renders" with all the lighting effects and what-nots.
