Storm Shipyards

[Storm]

Hi folks,

As I mentioned in the Show and Tell, I have decided to start my own thread for revealing my various works in progress. To start off with, here are some thumbnails linked to pictures of the ship I am calling the Hyena Class Escort.

[Disembodied]

Ooh! Nice-looking ship! It has a purposeful air about it, and it sits well with the original designs. I like that yellow colour too ... even if it's just a basic skin, it's a good place to start from.

[Storm]

Thanks, quite happy with how the Hyena turned out. No skins yet, just basic Wings3D face colouring to help differentiate the hull / engines etc.

Next up, the Viper and Viper Interceptor, with police lights.

Looking good

The Mamba in racing red...

Yay! More bright colours! >claps hands excitedly<

Thanks Maik.

The Fer-de-Lance...

Well you've managed to de-cheese-wedge it - which is good, but it looks a little busy, and perhaps and little stunted now.

I'm very much enjoying your re-imaginings.

[Storm]

Ha yes the original wireframe mesh for the Fer-de-Lance is an ugly shape. Doesn't really scream slick bounty hunter at all. Not sure mine does either... may go back to it later and see if I can make it less cluttered.

Heh... I just pulled into Maraus, checked the shipyard, and found nineteen Ferdies for sale... and one Anaconda!

A few more... starting with the basic Adder:




The Cobra Mk I:




The iconic Cobra Mk III:





and the Conscrictor:

Do want.

Amazing job. I really like how you kept the lines and look of the originals. Looks very nice.

[Storm]

Thanks. The most leeway for redesign when keeping to the original wiremesh models as much as possible seems to be the engines but I think they may look a little bland otherwise, especially when comparing to the likes of Griff's models. Still early days though - hopefully some nice skins and lighting effects will make them look a lot better.

Next up, a new ship, the Cheetah, which should give the racing Mamba a run for its money...
