The 'Conquest' - orbital gunnery / troop deployment vessel

[Mickazoid]

And an animation too:



Enjoy!

Magnificent!

WOW!

 

[Liam Devlin]

C'est Magnifique, mademoselle Mickazoid!

 

[Mickazoid]

Une grande Merci Beaucoup to everyone for their feedback!

It's getting pretty fun, using Sketchup for this design - but the turrets are so complex and detailed that they alone delay the refresh rate appreciably!

More to come, faithful Travellers!

 

[marvo]

Very very nice. Great work as always.

How long and hard was it to do those 3D images, mickazoid?

 

[Scarecrow]

This thread is superb. It's everything I've always threatened to do but only talked about =)

Good on you,

Crow

 

[Mickazoid]

Thanks Marvo and Crow! stofsk: it's not hard, if you love to learn! I find having a task of love like this to 'cut your teeth on' is the perfect way for me to tackle the daunting task of learning a whole new program. I'm still not 'savvy' with the program, but I think I have a sense for most of its' capabilities - if not yet a talent for executing them!

And by the way, enjoy this newest animation - it's got an 'inner hull' skin, and is using the 'shadows' and 'x-ray' capabilities of Sketchup to show you what's inside while showing you what's outside!

Note that I had to remove the previous animation to make room for this bad li'l film!

Thx Andrew, for watchin' my back (and my Quicktime).

 

[Andrew Boulton]

All part of the service, ma'am

Whoa ... man overboard!

Mick, send me a PM, I have a few (hundered) GB of monthly bandwidth and a gig or so of space available that you could use to park animations on...

I'm betting that folks might like to see the Sketchup "learning curve" in addition to your latest work.

[Mickazoid]

Scott - thanks so much! I'll send a PM now...

This just keeps getting cooler and cooler!

Good work Mickazoid. If you ever want to convert some sketched up deckplans into another 3D project, I have, by pure coincidence, a particular set of them. I mention them completely coincidentally, having no ulterior motives whatsoever. Really.
