Vanilla SpaceBuild Ships - Garry's Mod

sorry about that i understand i was just uploading them for ideas

That's fine. But still, no one commented on MY ship :(

[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;18706163]That's fine. But still, no one commented on MY ship :([/QUOTE] That's because when you click your album link you get: "Can not find album, screenshot20091129at447.png"

Ffffsss!!! Gimme a little while to make more and upload them.

ok ill give it ago at building another ship without razor trains and possibly cram an interior into it (lol)

Not my work, but can anyone remember [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=16232]this thing?[/url]? I remember that quite well, when nubs on every fucking server used to spawn this and claim as theirs...

I love yours aznz. It looks like some welder's insane pet project who used too many welds.

[QUOTE=Satyria;18675908]How about hybrids? Two ongoing ships mainly for this future armada thing. It's gonna be huge so it's not gonna be done for a while either. But for the sake of lag, huge phx pieces really helps. Preview on main battle ship and main cargo frigate: [url=http://h.imagehost.org/view/0084/top][img]http://h.imagehost.org/t/0084/top.jpg[/img][/url] Also as for comparison, those three little things at the top of the pic are missile silos. And to the left, railways. Also notice my in. Comparison was far from justice.

Looks nice anyways.

^ It looks a bit like stacker spam(not saying it is, but from the exterior it does)

[QUOTE=Aethir;18728720]Looks like some PHX roads and a fuckload of trains which i highly doubt were hand placed[/QUOTE] If i wanted to make an epically huge star destroyer thing, i don't think i'd hand place every train piece either o.O

I think I've been spoilt by SBEP. Whenever I start building a vanilla ship, I always end up going TOO MUCH EFFORT, LEGO SHIP TIEM~. I've been trying to wean myself off it a little (especially after such a dry patch for updates) by building interiors using modbridge/smallbridge then doing the exteriors with vanilla props.

I don't have any good pictures of my more recent spacebuild ships (because of me ragequitting from SB3), but here's some old-ish vanilla ships.

His has an extra set of engines (the angled ones) and a different paintjob.

Been working on a few none-sbep ships, used to make alot of them. Anyway, this one is basically a clusterfuck of trains, but it's early days. Done without stackers though (easy precision), and so fairly neat. Needs optimisation to avoid lag when moving around.

^ Looks nice.

[QUOTE=Madman_Andre;18727692]How many hundreds of props is that? Looks nice anyways.[/QUOTE] The darker one is 350 or 335 or something. [QUOTE=aznz888;18728590]^ It looks a bit like stacker spam(not saying it is, but from the exterior it does)[/QUOTE] Yeah it kind of is, but then again I dread repetitive materials. [QUOTE=Aethir;18728720]Looks like some PHX roads and a fuckload of trains which i highly doubt were hand placed[/QUOTE] No roads. THe biggest piece I used was a 16x32 phx plate. A one-square cube is 0.25x0.25. Yeah I used stacker, but to prevent any kind of boxyness (or repetitive lameness for that matter) of it I used alot of angle algorithms. In the beginning, it consisted only of trains. But that kind of state, in comparison to a drawing, would be the sketch. Imagine a phx ship that size. - where are the details and oh I see a repetitive pattern! I simply tried to balance them together. And I myself think that the train(s) add a nice ship feeling to this stuff. [QUOTE=Athelus;18754835]Been working on a few none-sbep ships, used to make alot of them. [/quote] The original train mat doesn't go well to that, but I like em!

[QUOTE=Aethir;18635645]You could also look at the ships from EVE online.[/QUOTE] Eve online rocks, use ships from that as inspiration or die.

[QUOTE=eurocracy;18786351]Eve online rocks, use ships from that as inspiration or die.[/QUOTE] Go to Hell or die. EVE does rock, more so with Domination, but still, the shapes are incredibly complex, and using them as inspiration for Gmod is a non-starter.

I let EVE be my only source of inspiration. But what I find troublesome is that some ships (those that I like - the wyvern for example) are so huge they make Flatgrass look like nothing. Shapes are not hard. The size is.

I use Amarr Navy Tachyons. and I want the beams to be BLUE! For Amarr Navy GAMMA L!

Lol? I just told you, the size is an issue. If you have a map or a vast space big enough for anyone to build it, do tell us (see I just pulled a joke because there's a limit to how big a map can be and that limit is far from satisfaction). Also the nightmare is kinda ugly. Kind of.

[QUOTE=eurocracy;18786351]Eve online rocks, use ships from that as inspiration or die.[/QUOTE] I personally use real spaceships/probes and X3: Terran Conflict's ships for inspiration.

[QUOTE=Saber15;18806475]I personally use real spaceships/probes and X3: Terran Conflict's ships for inspiration.[/QUOTE] I usually use my imagination and just bashing props together until I find a shape that looks cool :P

If size is such an issue, why not scale it down? Just because you like the shape doesn't mean you're bound by blood to build a huge monstrosity.

[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;18813257]If size is such an issue, why not scale it down? Just because you like the shape doesn't mean you're bound by blood to build a huge monstrosity.[/QUOTE] I agree with this one. Anyways I am going to make a ship based on the citadel prop. The citadel is my prop because of durability, not just size. and I think it looks cool. I might slap an SBEP engine prop or two on the back to cover up the unskinned parts.
