Cool! (On both accounts)

DUDE! how do u make thoses?

I amy start work on a customised raporan fighter for a fan film today. i shall see.

Cool, any pics yet?

 

You can name your modified A-wing the "Super A" (sorta of like the F/A-18 Hornet and its upgrade the Super Hornet).

 

Any ideas on a "Super B" (modified B-wing)? Then (of course) I have to ask, what about the rest of the alphabet?

 

Well, I am trying to think of a better name than A-Wing mk III that follows along the lines of other untis in Star Wars - like the XJ X-Wing, Series 4 E-Wing etc.

Though Super A is definetly the fighters nickname now

 

As for the B-Wing . . . there are a few out there (and official). There's the B-Wing E/1 and E/2 - the E/2 which is a 2 seater version, with significantly stronger shields and hull, holds more torps and has more powerful lasers and is a little faster.

 

Then there's the DeathRaven

Stronger shields again, faster than the E/2, quad assault lasers, 8 light ion cannons, 4 torp launchers with 10 shots each. However, this is a unique ship (ok, there are a few and they can be remade from the hulls of two E/2s) used by a rich merc, with contacts in the NR.

 

Meanwhile, I have started making a comic.

 

Show and tell us more, you must

I saw this today while doing a little surfin'

 

Gave me a chuckle

My new desktop backdrop

Thanks

 

I like your new desktop backdrop. Does it have a title like "custom paint jobs/camouflage for Death Stars"? Whether you want to hide your Death Star from pesky rebel starfighters or make a galatic statement before blowing away an entire planet. Decide on the best custom paint schemes for your needs. Advertisers call for rates.

I like that lots Krytos dude!

I guess it was done with Mental Ray?

 

As a title i suggest: How to camouflage your Death Star as a paper weight

Nice Krytos. If you do a version in 1600x1200 let me know, I'm looking for something to replace Lord Nelson on my wallpaper.

 

just a question, are the edges sort of pixilated because it has been reduced in size?

Why settle for bland imperial grey, when you could be flying through space with looking like this!?!

This new generation, 8 PAC paint will not peal even if hit by a turbolaser! They remain glossy all year round and require only minimal cleaning.

Now you too can pilot the hotest thing in space besides a star.

And don't worry - we do Star Destroyers as well!

@Mad: You are correct sir!

After our little conversation, I felt like doing another render with caustics that I could use as a backdrop - and ta da

 

 

@GAT: Gah, stupid image shack resized my image!!

Just drag it into your explorer bar for the real res version without the jaggered edges (or look at the direct linkto the image).

And, I'll render you a 1600x1200 tonight

 

EDIT:

Here ya go Res: 1600x1200

Imageshack will risize it again for showing it - but it'll save as the proper res

Nice! I'll drop it onto my desktop when I get home tongiht.

Hint: Clicking on it in Imageshack will show it at its original size.

I found this little dity hiding on my hard drive

Maybe this will also answer the question about other intelligent life in the universe (Forum: Alien Life).

[nerdy believer voice]Roswell wasn't a town... It was a Aircraft Carrier!!! That answers alot of things![/nerdy believer voice]

Did you make it yourself?

Unfortunately not . I found it (somewhere, I don't remember ) on the 'net.

Bringing up an old tread - just some stuff I've been working on lately.

 

 

Not really sure what the hell this is . . . but, yeah - pipes and . . . ah, lights

And a sword based on some Warcraft 3 art.

Nice stuff you have there Kryt. Did you use the array tool in the light and pipes pic?

woah. Just... Woah. That is all fricking insane. Woah. I'm gonna go... I don't lnow what. I suddenly feel painfully innadequete after seeing all this ridiculously good stuff. Is everyone here human? Or are some of you an alien race that excells in art and computer electronics above and beyond all else?

Your good Krytos! That pipes and...er...lights picture is outstanding!

 

**throws fudge cake from London**

Thanks all, glad you liked it

 

I'm already working on another scene - not much I can give away just yet, but it uses a lot more modelling than just pipes

 

Nice stuff you have there Kryt. Did you use the array tool in the light and pipes pic?

 

Hmm, that would have made sence

Oh well, each pipe is unique model wise - so it doesn't really matter.

Interesting little project I had started on another forum a while ago... Taking the Star Wars story and putting it into a WWII-esque setting. Warships, airplanes, tanks, machine guns! But see for yourselves:

 

Jabba al-Hutt

 

Robert LeFette

 

Stormtrooper

 

Ben Kenobi

 

Darth Vader

 

AT-AT tank

 

Dreiberg (C-3PO)

 

Executor and Destroyer

 

Yoodah

 

Captain Solo

Very nice

I could easily imgine a small serie based on these pics.

I checked out only two of thoughs due to dial-up connection crapness, but are you the artist Fishi-face? If you are I doff my hat to you sir!

I gotta say, Vader looks more intimidating than ever.
