omg we need to pressure fausust and crew to replace those fat ugly current icc ships with these all of them but please can you make some missle and carrier variants also make a Titan/Levithan class to compete with the k'luth Krill. I say we have a community vote, to allow teh incorporation of new models or a contest.

WIP texture of the new dread. No markings yet, just windows and details.
No bump/light maps. I'm in Shanghai ATM, so progress (just like the Internet here) will be slow. ROFL.

Seeing the ship from behind with texures, I have to say I suddenly like the three tiered engine design. Looks different and cool.

looks awesome as usual, but I think you should round some of the edges around the ship
btw, what do you do for a living? it sounds like you travel a lot, just wondering..

latest model looks great, but for what class and what role? I personally think it looks like a smaller ship, but what class did you have in mind while making it?

for the archangel, having the upper pontoons follow the support arm design from the missle dread would look nicer i think. otherwise <3

I'm just an engineer. Some trips are business, some are personal.
This is a personal trip. Visiting a friend in Shanghai for a week.

This could be the final model. It's definitely a dreadnought, by virtue of the size (scale via windows) and 2500 polys.
Bumped and luminosity mapped. Haven't thought of a name yet. Will put it on the first post once I've thought of it.

You've got Athena and Achilles, it's only natural you'll have Pallas, Zeus or Hades.
I'm partial to Pallas. Pallas Athena. 8D
Love the ship as usual.

Interesting. I looked up some names in Greek mythology and decided to call it Typhon. After the offspring of Gaia and Tartarus. And also because the ship, with its long flat forward hull probably has lotsa weapon emplacements ahead of the superstructure, similar to the Russian Typhoon class subs (I'm a sub-sim fan ).
If this ship doesn't work out as a combatant, we can always remove the long pylons/weapon emplacements and reduce the size, then call it a heavy freighter or merchantman. The long forward hull does remind me of a supertanker/freightliner anyway.
Anyway... obligatory flavor text:
Typhon Class Dread.
This is the culmination of the first model I made, found on Page 2, using Blender. The long forward hull, the aft biased superstructure, the spheres on the "wing" tip, etc etc. It's a homecoming of sorts, to finally be able to complete what I started out with.
The many pylons are actually meant to be weapon emplacements, since DS doesn't use gun barrels (they don't have arcs, only firing in a straight line). And the chine/lateral pylon that's parallel to the forward hull can also serve as emplacements. The seemingly forward biased weapons mounts could mean that this ship may be an assault type. There is a small ship bay on the ventral secondary hull, however, that might indicate otherwise.
Also, significantly... heh ... this is prob the first ICC ship that I've put forth without those pontoons. ROFL....

Going back to "school" on modelling.
I won't be churning anything out for quite some time until I've gotten my art form right. Gonna try my hand at Infinity models too.
Cy'all around.

Oh wow, you mean Infinity that game I've been following for years with procedurally produced galaxies and "go anwhere" style of MMO play?
If that game ever comes out, I'll pay WHATEVER to have it . Seeing the most recent gameplay videos in HD, watching a ship fly from orbit down to the surface just had me awestruck.
