Weekly Terraining Exercise #96

Hello again!

Our theme this week is based on an idea by SGTMeowmers9: "Star Trick". The idea is that to mix things up, this week you'll have to recreate the insides of a space ship. Whether you cover up the top or not, make it an FPS-terrain or not or simply try something completely original will be up to you. Anything that can fly through space classifies as a space-ship, so feel free to do something Protoss-y or Zergy - it's not just Terran ships I'm after.

Good luck, have fun!

Dang, was gonna do the insides of a Carrier.

@Doubleclick123: Go

Protoss works as well. I meant to say 'Protossy or Zergy' there, because I kind of assumed most people would think of a Terran spaceship in regards to the theme. Typed it out a bit vaguely, let me clarify.

Eugh.. Alright here's mine... I really wanted to do a carrier, but as I looked trough the editor... It kept reminding me of how little models of "yellow protoss things" there are.... So say hello to the Really Small Protoss Vessel! ( As I named it.)

- It's meant to be a mockery of the mission with the Rip-Field generators. It's like those "world ships", a space platform, with no top, and sort of like a mini planet... But this is probably smaller than three scouts.

So, I started working on a gigantic Loki battlecruiser only made out of terrain and doodads when I realized that the cannons on the 'hammerhead' section could only be represented accurately with New Folsom Cannons. So, I make a doodad for both the Serpentis and Armageddon Batteries (cannon and gatling, respectively), only to find out that the editor does not want me making cannons. So I get the grey sphere of death. I'll post the map so you can see for yourselves. Does anyone know what the problem is?

@SGTMeowmers9: Go

attached the actors to the doodad correctly?

@SGTMeowmers9: Go

You don't need to create a new model when creating a new doodad. Actors -> [Your doodad] -> Art Model and select whatever you want, in this case New Folsom Turret. Attached fixed map if you want to be lazy and don't learn.

I believe a living machine from The Doctor Who universe counts for anything that can fly through space :)

Hello, ladies and jentlemen! My name is The Cook, I am a timelord and this is my war TARDIS. Welcome to My Crib!

First, let's take a look at my sleeping console room.

In a console room I got several monitors to look at what's going on around my house. Also this room is merged with an armory. You can see from here one of these bright circlin' tubes - it is a time vortex gun TV-1000. A huge swarm of nanobots are maintaining the circling process and indicate me when something goes wrong by painting green symbols among blue lines. Right now it's all good. Oh, and don't try to pass these chain walls - nanobots cloud can melt your body in a second, remember?

Let's walk around and see the next tube - the Red one. It is not a weapon but a giant energy transformator what takes power from the generator and makes it useful for almost every system in the TARDIS. Those two open tubes in the far are for air filtering and nanobots. Oh, pay these symbols no mind - i just forgot to switch off green stabilizers, that's why nanobots scream that they're not o'k.

I'd show you my room if... there... umm... was no tyranosaurus! Big bity tyranosaurus! Yarr!
So we'd better come closer to console. Don't touch anything!

Now you've seen how it is easy to stay in front of the control panel of a powerful 78th class war TARDIS. But you can see more if you like. All the time and space, the stars and planets are waiting. Where do you like to start?

A look on TARDIS without a disguise.

Epic TARDIS. Epic Epic Epic and I have nothing else to say.

Yay, after an hour of work I have finished the walls, roof, and inside of the bridge, as well as the Yamato Cannon and the protective casing that covers it.

.00000000000000000000000011000932% complete.

@SheogorathSC: no idea it already had a model. Thanks!

EDIT: I... cannot maintain. The stupid guns on the hammerhead look nothing like the picture of the Loki.

Now I feel bad ):

@Totservis: Go

You sir just won the internetz.

Damn I can't finish the Loki. I forgot to email it to myself and now I'm stuck here in Catalina until... well, after that, school starts.

But glhf and all that and:

@Brood: If it's a Zerg ship, why is it flat?

Here's a thing.

Cool thing. Looks like a mini-Minotaur Battlecruiser.

That's what I should have done. A Cattlecruiser.

@Nebuli2: Go

I remember you showing us glimpses of that aaaages ago! Glad to see it's progressed so well. Nice job!
