Excellent Ships Interiors

[mark_rotteveel]

Hello All. Found this link for brilliant panoramic views of the interiors of warships. They may come in handy for ideas for starships.

Go to the link below, and take the 'RAN Virtual Fleet Tour'

Enjoy

 

[Uncle Bob]

Very nice! Thanks.

 

[Scarecrow]

Fantastic! Thank you!

Crow

 

[Jame]

Yes, thanks! I wonder how it would convert to spaceship/starship interiors, though?

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Very nice.

For CGI Traveller goodness visit The Crow's Nest

Has anyone seen my jaw? I think it's down on the floor somewhere...

You really should keep better track of this thing. I've seen Crow's site and itsa vera nice. The two ships that he has there are pretty nifty. Actually the entire site is pretty nifty. The only thing that's missing are deckplans for his Florian class scoutship which I believe he's working on.

I've actually been thinking about that, Jame. I have started designing the warships for the HVC. I was going to put a post in IMTU about this.

If the life support systems can support two people in the one stateroom, as long as you don't exceed the max people for that space, I can't see why you can't have them in mess decks. Which would also free up some room for the Commcen, Warfare Office, Brig, Ops Room etc... I'll try and word it better and post it in IMTU. Please comment...

Aww shucks! Thanks guys! If you feel like that you might be interested to know that I am illustrating the cover for 'At Sword's Point' - the Sword Worlds source book for GURPS:Traveller.

We now hand you back to your regular thread:

Application of the images on the Australian Navy site to Traveller deckplans? Well, layout, for a start, ideas for operational spaces and the clutter that goes with the confined areas. The way that form follows function to an obscene degree. There isn't a single square inch of wasted space.
For me, personally it's just damned good reference material for 3D illustrations more than anything else.

I wish he'd hurry up and finish the damn thing! (Says the person with about a million unfinished projects on his computer)

I don't know if you can tell, but all those interiors really are inside the model.

Your pardon, but pretty nifty is a freaking 50 Mt understatement.

I use the phrase awe-inspiring, probably because I have worked on a 3D MMORPG and know what is really involved in getting nice looking graphics and animations (having seen lots of sucky ones between start and final product).

Awe-inspiring I said.

And I look forward to seeing your work on the Swordies. I'm playing a Sacnoth born Imperial Marine with a prosthetic arm (from an artillery strike) right now in a PBeM....

I just wish I had 1/100th of your skill to do interiors of ships.

Keeping in mind that perhaps several Royal Carribean cruise ships and the like would be more appropriate for passenger accomodations and civilian liners and several large supertankers/super container ships more appropriate for bulk freighters.

The military ships are a good guideline to ... military ships.

To repeat, the Florian Scout is drop dead sexy, inside and out. Scarecrow rocks my Traveller world, with the model alone illumanating the possibilities of an asthetic sense of design.

 

[Blue Ghost]

No argument here.

Excellent stuff, thanks for posting. The virtual trip out on partrol was really interesting too. A huge amount of work must have gone into this, kudos to the people who made it. The attention to detail is staggering.
