Greatly inspired by the skill of 'skynet3020' i thought i'd have a go at modelling a really big battle cruiser. Greebles on the march! - i had a great deal of respect for him before, i have even more respect for skynet now, after this mornings modelling. Its taking forever!!, and my fingers are going to fall off.!

some engines, i've had a bit of a design re-think and these are part of the forward engines behind the front end. (confused?)

What really pisses me off RJ is that you're not only a great modeler, but you're fast! You always seem to knock these things off during your lunch hour, or something. You probably do thirty impossible things before breakfast.  Seriously though, that is some very fine polygonsmanship. I look forward to watching your progress on this.


dhama ( ) posted Thu, 21 August 2008 at 4:43 PM

Not at all..... he's using Bryce's built in Starship Lab of course.


50parsecs ( ) posted Thu, 21 August 2008 at 5:17 PM

Lol, "Starship Lab"? Now that would be a cool addition for the next version of Bryce! I do believe that RJ is using AutoCad, or somesuch to build this particular ship, unless I miss my guess. I know that RJ can do some serious booleaning, but the wire frame display of such a ship in Bryce would give most people a splitting headache. Outside of BamBam, of course and perhaps TheBryster with his Escherian twisted mind. ;-)

Yes i agree...would make a very nice plastic model kit....hmm my wife hates the smell of model paint.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

thanks guys, yes i do it quickly, but still takes a long time, thats why i am full of admiration for Skynet.
Yes i do use Autocad, but also combine that with good old Bryce - main reason is Autocad is what i use for work so i can slip in some modelling when no-ones looking - but i started as a Brycer, and i hope my Hans Holbein project proved i can still cut-it.

i too would like to have some of my models as real world models - so if anyone has a contact with a 3d printer then contact me and we'll go into buisiness.

And speaking of real world models, maybe i'll show you some pics of my half scale Dalek i'm building.....

Why you laugh? Here's the proof........

Dhama - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha - oh wait that would be a cool idea - nah, who'd want to click a few buttons and end up with a completed model/ missing out on the creation and inventiveness of making something truley original yourself......oh yes most of the Poser owners.....(ooooh thats gonna get me hit)

"(ooooh thats gonna get me hit)" Quote from rj001.

I wouldn't worry about it. Most of them are as vacant as the stare on their naked Vickies. By the time it is explained to them and it finally sinks in what you mean, this thead will be on page 7 or 8.

Then again it is not nice to make fun of the creativly challenged. FUN,but not nice. Bad boy.

Now if you need a hand to stick it that lot ......

Back to the business at hand. This is an excellent piece of work.

Are you using art work to produce your cad images, or making it up on the fly?
