Think of this thread as something similar to conceptships.blogspot.com for the Sins community. Basically, a way for the community to share what they have created whether it makes it into a mod or not.
At a minimum post a screen shot of your model in blender, xsi, 3d object converter, etc or in game. If you have a name for your ship or story behind it, even better.
We are looking forward to seeing what you have created!
Interested in importing your models into Sins?
Visit http://soase.weebly.com/modeling.html (thanks myfist0)The soase.weebly is a compilation of many of the hard to find topics created by many experienced soase modders and extensively added to by myfist0. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
From the beginning of this thread IskatuMesk has wow'd us with his models and ultimately released a video of his creations in Sins of a Solar Empire. This particular model was my favorite in the beginning and still stands out.
SivCorp looking to stretch new ideas from existing models managed to create several menancing models including the fantastic Vasari version seen here: (Vasari Flagship Sonar Kal'd used in the Distant Stars Mod)
It's my thread so a few of my stuff...
@ThoumsinWell even 40k would be no problem, I doubt any player can built 1 in a meaningful timeframe on smaller games, or two on large ones ( but I think 2 would be the max )
You could give the large ship to the player at the beginning of the game in the galaxysceneriodef starting units but make them not buildable in game or just to expensive to have any numbers.
@myfist0
good idea, but not for a VORLON PLANET KILLER
Everybody starting with such a thing will eliminate the enemies homeworld with ease
Symmetry is a fun modifier to monkey with.
(With the one on the far left being the original)
I'm sure the verticies got messed up in them, though. But, who knows, some might be useful one day.
Whoa... wish I could make models that detailed
im getting 3ds max 2011, mudbox, and softimage pro FREE for educational purposes. so i'll be posting on here very soon
how expensive is 3ds by the way i have the advent heavy battleship almost ready and in game fredled
shweet, i think it is like $800. but i could be wrong.
i'll texture it when i get mudbox.
sweet pm me when y ou get it
This thread needs some Retivyy. (right click, view picture for big)

Very nice texture and model work there! What's the texture resolution?
no idea found them online mostly they are concepts
Minbari Tinashi 2.0 (Fins on the wings are from Thoumsins Sharlin)

very nice!!!
I'm not sure what to call it, but I modeled off one of my kids NERF guns and textured it today
TDN Arges, Cyclops Class Siege Cruiser
Arges, thats kinda cool. I like the mythology reference.
Whoooo your getting good at texturing stuff
Outside of straightening out some stuff on the Glecterror I gave up on updating it any further. I'm just not skilled enough. Right now I'm gonna move on to the Zelconian Arcane-Class, an artillery vessel that fires Proteus beams/pulses across massive (multi billion km) distances and is capable of linking to others of its class.
The model itself is satisfactory but some edges need straightening to prevent ugly edges. I'm not skilled enough to detail it to completion yet, but I can patch it up and maybe detail some parts I couldn't before (such as the engines that are currently just squares).
There's several things to note about this model.
- I made panels to get baked into a normal map if I ever become skilled enough to skin this thing.
- There's several areas that have redundant faces that can be cleaned but have been left there for later detailing work if I ever figure out what to do/how I want to do it.
- The rear engine has been rebuilt several times and I'm still not very happy with it, but simply don't know what to do/how to do it. Zelconian designs as a whole are extremely vague in my head still, as they're all far too complicated and out of my league to model.
Despite this the model is only ~14k-15k triangles somehow.
Thanks, thats actually only about 4-5 different textures applied. It could use some small details and lighting but it turned out pretty good for a couple hours of work.
I may have to make a terran race with ships based off NERF guns now
can anybody com up with some good names for a couple of my ships 2 are tec 2 are advent ill post them later today just some ideas would be ice.
A relatively simple ship today, the Undead Blood Frenzy. Other than the Zeral`Motakk update this is my first Undead ship modeled in over 2 years. Ingame it would appear black with a phantasmal aura of glow around it.
Cool, my plague race is jealous!
Latest off the assembly line: Xin Heavy Interdictor Cruiser. The design for this one called for a heavy-set look as its supposed to be the "more armor, less firepower" alternative cruiser for players to choose over the regular Assault Cruiser. Hence I went for the beefy look. The gap in the middle is where the singularity goes.
