"Parallels" Mid Level 3D Design Work

[Phantom]

Hi all,

Figured I'd post some of my 3D stuff here to get a little creative feedback:

More information can be found here: and here are some of the wip pics

Spoiler: Images

I know its not super high poly as in not that 'advanced' *use to 2000-3000 Armada models lol. Still a WIP atm, got an illustration with some detail to go over but at the moment, as of 5 and 6 the model stands at just over 86,000 polies.


Adam,

Hello:
This seems like a most interesting concept, the ship itself appears to have some similarities with Star Trek's designs, but not like the same, so it is both new but with some familiar traces. I like that.
I look forward to know more, keep it up!

Yo phantom for the spoiler tags add an = after the first spoiler i.e (

Spoiler

)

as for the model looks good i like the engine design

Was working on that myself and fixing the tags at the same time.

Nice start to the models.

PS sorry for the edit of your post majestic.

Adam, if you want an affiliation, you'll need to PM me, Syf or Katala about it. Those are the only links that can be posted without admin approval.

It's fine RJB, it happens sometimes.

Without that center part, it could almost be related to the Norway. I think I'm going to look forward to future developments on this.

 

[Phantom]

Thanks for the comments (and the tag heads up) so far. Heres a little update (well I say little but it was like 4 hrs work this afternoon lol)

I've remoceled the Armor plating to smooth it off as it was bugging me, I've also added the primary engine units to the back end too in preperation for the primary hull which I've started making complete with the partial Command Deck and shuttlebay

w0w, i love that ship! with the blue engines its really great looking

 

[thunderfoot]

Pretty ship. Definitely different from anything else I've seen lately. Stylish and very gracefully elegant. She'd look natural escorting one of FahreS's Planck class Heavy science vessels. I think he calls them heavy science vessels because he made the hulls out of neutronium. Sure seems that way whenever I am trying to shoot one down, lol.

Without going into "too much" detail to avoid spoiling the story and hint at spoilers for the show, Phantom is a prototype vessel designed to revolutionise space travel as it's capable of 'folding' space time to get from one area to another (IE it creates artificial wormholes to travel at 'light-speed') It's 'sleak'ness it also because its a borderline destroyer and is a little over 800 metres long from tip to end.

More details can be found on the website which I'll hopefully be able to publish once I've spoken to the admins about Affiliations as I didn't realise the error on my part in the inital posting.

May or may not tweak tonight as I'm feeling nackered atm, but will definately post additional images as the developments arrise



Adam,

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
That sure an interesting way of space travel, different to what we normally see in Star Trek, maybe it is a bit more like BSG as the way the fold space to go to one place to the other.
Well, Ithink I will not make more questions, to avoid possible spoilers and I'll better wait for more updates.
Keep it up!

 

[Phantom]

Phantom folds subspace which in Parallels is like an area of space that has no laws of physics and is pure matter. Parallels uses factual elements such as 'Lightspeed' and 'Warp Drive' are an impossibility. Phantom travels at 2.5 light years/minute due to folding the subspace matter layer for limited periods of time (pending fuel and overheating of course) Subspace in Parallels is kind of like 'Dark Matter' which is what inspired it in the first place as it surrounds normal space and the areas between atoms but is slightly out of sync with what you can see. Thats' not a spoiler really as its explained in detail in the second Scene of the pilot loosely lol.


Just smoothing the windows on the command deck atm and building the rest of the area, may post later if its worth it really as Im not gonna pull an all nighter like last night lol!

Hello:
Well, subspace's existence has been proved mathematically (so is the Dark matter... it is just it cannot be found yet, as we all know >.< ), so you have a plus for your story .
Keep it up! your background infos do sound very interesting.

Yeah, its a basically a layer of space that surrounds every atolm. Parallels uses as much factual stuff as poss so the audience learns something at the same time which makes it different and why its so popular among agents, actors and producers who are backing/starring in it. Parallels isn't about a war far, far away beyond the final frontier in a little blue box which is bigger on the inside. It's something that's character driven, and at the same time will offer an educational stand point too without the kiddy like, this is right and this is wrong approach I've noticed a happens a fair amount in programs which just reeks of cheese lol

Hello:
I agree and I like that, not just senseless battles or things, but to have truth things from science (like the explanations for the space travels and maybe other things you may come up with in the future) and from life itself (as characters' development, interactions and that life is not black and white, but a greyscale.).
Possibilities are endless .

Absolutly. There are battles n dramatics, but its a drama at the core with dark sci fi elements n horror segiments too which gives it's a unique flare.

Hello:
I hope your ideas will go well for you. I think it is safe to say that there will be lots of people wanting to know what are you up to and to know about the adventures of those people. Keep it up!

 

[Phantom]

update:

Have added the under carrage and have started applying details after finally getting rid of horrible mesh errors around the front and sides around the bevel edges

[Borg_Queen]

That model is awesome. And your backstory sounds interesting.

 

[Phantom]

Final update of the day Started experimenting with the armor plating and given it a rough metalic texture.

Spoiler

Will post more later once more progress has been made


Adam,

 

[Majestic]

Looking good mate, textures are indeed the hardest part of modelling.

 

[Phantom]

slight update

Spoiler

Adam

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I would not say "slight" since it looks like you did quite the job. I specially like how you added more views of the ship, like it's belly and more about the engines.
Keep it up!

 

[Phantom]

I think shes just about done really

Spoiler

Let me know what u guys think


Adam,

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
It looks very good to me, plenty of details, specially on the engines (and I guess they should be, since they are experinental).
I am also happy that you made an Orthos pic of your ship!

 

[thunderfoot]

I really like how this looks. With all those engines and the size of each, she'd better be really fast. The low visibility colorings and the overall shape are saying "Stealth Ship" to me. Now, why would someone need something this fast and this sneaky in your mod? Smugglers? Rebels? Advanced race surveying a pre-spaceflight culture?

 

[Avon]

Beautiful work. Really nice styling too, great job

 

[Phantom]

Heres a video of it

Spoiler: spoiler

html code/Link removed

its hosted via my facebook so hopefully it'll show for u guys

 

[Borg_Queen]

It doesn't show here, probably because it's in html code. Do you have it hosted other places, like youtube?

PS.: I tried to look at that code and see how to fix it so it will show here, but I have no clue on how.
