Hi, I want to try my skills on some space scene, for once . So i've started by modelling this spaceship . It's made of spline objects, for most parts . Your suggestions for improving the model and materials are welcome ! litst litst.@freesbee.fr http://www.chez.com/litst/

What a cool design! Very elegant looking; like some sort of very prestigious space cruise ship. I love the polished metal look. I'm not sure what I'd suggest aside from perhaps some more greebling around the engines and maybe on the dark area on the top of the central hull.... Can't wait to see the final product. (Hope to see this thing in motion, too!)

It look a lot like the UFO I saw last night,I mean I think you must know something? I dig it, very nice model, excellent work. I have no suggestions, it rocks and I think your textures look pretty realistic. can we see who flys this beast?

Maybe if I ever get my stupid alien done, he can fly it. Whee! Hope he doesn't drive like me. Actually, I should be able to load Cring into freestuff tonight. Then maybe he can hijack litst's spaceship... and use it to smuggle CHEDDAR to Mars. Or strafe France with little cheddar cheese balls. Mwahahahahaha! Nice ship, litst.

If we strafe France we should use brie cheese.

But, that's just what they want us to do!

Thanks for your nice comments guyz and gals :) I'll work on the back of the model a bit more, and maybe on the cockpit too, like you suggested, Chip . I hope to see it animated one day too ! :) I know some french cheese that is almost as tasteless as american cheddar . It's called "Apericube" by "la Vache qui Rit"("the Laughing Cow" !) . It's some kind of little cheese cubes with some strange flavors . On Sunday, i've tried the mushroom flavor, and had to split it out . I'm sure you'd love that Terri ! ;) When i'll download your Cring, be sure i'll feed him with some of those . I'll try to give him one chili pepper flavored cube, just to see how he will react ... litst

oooo very nice. does it have a cockpit? i cant see any windows, or maybe its a robot?

Very nice, litst. It's cool to see your formidable modeling skills in space modeling. If you want me to QTVR it, just send me the scene file. Or if you want any or the animals you've modeled QTVR'ed, email them to jodonnell@mac.com. QTVR has the amazing power to turn even mediocre models into great toys; great models make really fun QTVRs. So feel free to ask. Nebula Supernova Studios

Maybe the windows are one-way mirrors, like those sunglasses that were so popular in my youth.


twillis posted Mon, 18 June 2001 at 3:40 PM

Now he's too sick to fly!

litst posted Mon, 18 June 2001 at 3:48 PM

Hehehe !!! >:) I wonder if we can eat Cring's tongues ??? With some Mader sauce, maybe ?


litst posted Mon, 18 June 2001 at 7:44 PM

Another image ... This time it shows the weird cockpit i've made . I really need to work on it more ... It reflects a kind of environment map i've put in the background . litst

Hey, is "Wyvern" French for "Cheddar Express"? Just curious. That's a very cool ship. It has a style I don't think I've come across before, but which I think works very well. Nice job.

Looks like the Sally Field's hat in "The Flyin'Nun" series...! ;) Very nice job,litst!

I didn't know about this flying nun series ( we don't have that in France ), so i made a quick search on the net, and i've found this pic . Man, you're right, her hat looks exactly like my spaceship ! I swear i didn't copy ! litst
