Spaceship (Collaborative Project)
-
It normally does autosave, just spent an hr looking for it but no trace
-
@Marian, bare with me, im redoing it and its a bigger improvement on what i had lost, ill have it ready tomorrow,
-
Ok heres what iv being working on, its just early stage progress, its just a quick animation of a seperation concept, added to a bulk of a model underneat the lifeboat but i sense Marion may not like this
But if we do go with this concept it would have a more machanical look, cant wait to hear what you think
LOWERPOLY_STARSHIP_CONCEPT_SEPERATION.tweens.skpI did this animation with the Keyframe_animation plugin, not sure if you need it to view it, if you dont have it and can view it could someone let me know, cheers

My first thought...

I do have the plugins, but once you have the tweens anybody can view it.
I like the idea and the animation, but I'll have to redo the pod so that it fits and looks good subdivided.
Good job -
So is this idea approved then?
I wouldn't redo the design just yet, remember If we go with this I still need to do more work on it. -
Yeah but adapt it to this version. We could have the pod attached to the front and the front with the pod attached to the rest. So front could detach with the pod on and without.
Also don't do too much detailing on the mesh that has to be subdivided. It has to be done with SDS in mind to look good and it would create more work for me to redo things. The clamps will probably have to change a bit because the way they are will not fit well with the smoothed mesh of the ship.

Can't view the model until later on, what is is? Is it a shorter version of mine?
-
It's not a very different version, but the pod doesn't matchup exactly. I would have matched it myself but you said you wanted to do more work on it.
-
No worries, I'll have a closer look laters

Im finding it hard to understand what you mean by this, can you explain in more detail, I dont want to do any work until I fully understand what you mean
-
You see in that version there are 2 parts of the ship divided by a line and the pod and another piece which I'm thinking how to integrated into the main body.
I was saying that we shold have the pod attached only to the front piece which then could separate from the main body pod and all.Were you thinking the pod should be longer, bigger?
-
Btw I love the aesthetic of these ships and I might nab the look for the external bridge.

Made some tweaks to the mesh and modifed some bits.
The files is the low poly one and the pic with SDS.
-
That's fantastic and the image of the style is exactly the style I'm looking for, I'll get working on the pod release mechanism and see what I can do to it, this ship is coming on nicely

That's what I'm worried about. I think we should have the shape of the pod finalised before doing that mechanism.

What I should of said was finalise how the separation sequence should be, there is a few changes I want to make to improve the seperation, once that's finalised sds then construct the mechanism, don't worry Marion I won't be putting in too much detail before sds and I'll keep it as low poly as possible

http://galen82.deviantart.com/After much study of these images I think we should use the escape pod hatches used in this concept, I think they are well suited for this concept.
-
We'll see. I don't want to think about these details before we have the final shape.
