Ship Graphics: Anypne know or are a good ship maker?

I am a beginer in making plugins, and like to make new ships, or at least I like plugins that have new ships. So, if anyone has free ship making services could you please see about making me some? What I would like are:
1. Ships that look like they are captured from the rebels, Confederation, or UE, and rusted all over like they were ancient but still able to see the design.

2. If you can, would like it to look like the ships have things like broke wings, or missing wings.

3. Visable wepon pods hanging from wings (or wing) t5o look, well, all I can think of is just that way. Thanks! 🙂
(If you can make graphics please send them to rve@earthlink.net or AIM them to me at bongaonga1. Thanks! :))

I think the person to talk to would be Captain Skyblade, who is currently missing in action due to some unknown reason (he was banned from the internet from his parents.). His ships have that decayed, rundown look that would be exactly what your looking for.

Keep looking around here for a while, because no one knows when he will be back.

With a little fooling around in Photoshop or another decent image editor, you might be able to achieve the effects you described simply by modifying the original sprites.

The only thing is, I totally suck at graphics. I can't make a shuttle craft!oh, and I don't have photoshop. Just PhotoDeluxe.

I can do free graphics but I'm not that good so they might be a little on the low quality side. Do you want them to be existing confed/rebel ships or new designs. Reply if you want me to.

Just make your own with a 3D program.
There are a few free ones.

Such as Strata 3D base, (url="http://"http://www.strata.com")www.strata.com(/url)
Or mechanisto(sp?) i don't know the adress, maybe someone else here could give it to you.

I'm working on a damaged Confederation bomber with Mechanisto 2.0 which well making more somple graphics is very easy to use.

HEy Trader, Souds Great! Sorry I never responded, I was playing EV and other games and was off the internet for a while.

Think you can E-mail me some previews so I can see what it looks like? Thanks! 🙂

I sent you an email with the finished bomber. Sorry for the delay it took me a while to figure out how to do sprites. By the way the sprites are a 3/4 view, hope you don't mind.

Great! I will look at them as soon as I can, namely now, and no, I don't mind.

I have to agree with this. If you have miscellaneous ships made by various other artists, your plugin will look like a miscellaneous collection. Better to do the work and impose your own artistic vision

In a slightly off-topic point, does anybody know of a free 3d graphics program (similar, maybe, to Strata Base, which I used to use) that runs in OS X? My love of fiddling around with making my own ships is equalled only by my hatred of rebooting into 9..

Is there anyway someone can make a plugin for me. Just a simple one. One that Gives me one custom ship. I want a voinian frigate, only I want all the red spots blue, at a cloaking device, decent shields, same armor, more weapon space, more cargo space, slightly faster, a bit more manueverable. I want it to compare in size and power with the crescent warship actually.

Can anybody, or does anybody know anybody who could do this for me??

Ive said this many times before which is scattered throughout the web board, but anyways, there is a download which contains all the 3D model files which was used to create EVO, unless you have at least Specular Infini-D, this download maybe of no use to you. But if you do, you will find it convenient because every file has the default texture for the EVO ships as well as outfits, planets, and stations. If you start there, you'll have a good start, as for EV classic, I have not found any downloads for EV 3D model designs, yet. But I'll keep looking though.

Might someone with modeling skill be willing to make a single ship for a plug I'm working on? My 3D skills are somewhat under par, and Strata Base doesn't support subtractive objects, so I'm unable to make a polished design. The ship I'm looking for is small, about the size of a basic Nova shuttlecraft on the screen, and fairly simple. It would not take an experienced individual long to make. If you've got an hour or two to burn making a ship for someone, e-mail me at mr.lothario@cox.net. 🙂

Ok, well, if you check it here, you can e-mail me... Otherwise...Well...I'm eager to do any work for people. Free, of course. However, the more complicated projects are...well... ....They remain to be requested, I guess.

If you still have trouble finding 3D models, I might be willing seeing how I will be able to make some time in my schedule, if you decide to have me design a ship, you must know a lil bout me.

First, I have great ideas on making ships, but they are too complex in design for me to create on my Infini-D. Second, most ships I make are similar in style as in other EVO ships. If you want a ship to match the style in the same manner of original ships, I can do that. If you want to see my battleship I designed which which blends in well in the world of EVO for curiosity, email me and I'll send you an image.

My email: prefectural@yahoo.com

I don't know a thing about texturing, but I do a pinch of modeling for fun. If anyone actually likes my ship and wants to use it fer somethin, I'll give ya the file for this one or make one custom, in some spare time.

cool ship!

Very cool ship. Kinda X-Wing meets SR-71.
