So this is what happens when I have enough time

[Acmex]

So lately I've had maybe a *bit* too much time on my hands.

Well, more of "Today I've been really feeling like doing something"

And so I present: The GTF Icantthinkofanamerightnow.

Cirevam stated I should name it "Cool Beans", however, that doesn't seem like much of a name.

Most of that was done in school, however, I finalized it at home.

Its actually textured, but this is a pre-textured screenshot, so meh.

UPDATE:

Yeah, I gave it a gun. You can also see some of the texture, which is pretty much applied across the whole thing

But some of you might have noticed my...construction... of something bigger.

At Cirevam's suggestion:

I unveil:

THE GTLD CHIMERA

Measuring just over 850 meters from bow to stern, the "Chimera" class Light Destroyer packs more firepower into its hull than any previous Terran Destroyer.

Its armament consists of eleven beams, including two of the dreaded "Mjolnir" class of Terran Superbeam.

Also in the beam weapons category, it packs no less than FIVE "Big Green Beams" and four anti-fighter cannons.

Also dotted around its hull are two standard flak cannons, as well as a tri-barreled flak gun on the bottom.

Further adding to its weapon loadout are six blob turrets, two of which are mounted in tri-turrets for an increased rate of fire.

Her fighter complement numbers Thirty-Six, organized in four nine-man squadrons.

These destroyers are best grouped in packs with their own, as only fighters can truly keep pace with them, thanks to their twenty-five meter per second speed.

Yeah, its not textured yet, because I'm so lazy.

Also, moar pics

First version.

First Version with fighter for compare.

Second version, a multi view.

The final revision minus textures, with a fighter to compare now.

Quite frankly, take this as proof that anyone can model.

If you have time.

And texture.

If you have more time.

CnC, plz

If you want it, just let me know and I'll PM it. Not too many export options, however.

These are not bad at all.

Although I like the second one a lot more than first.

Hmmm...this could be made into a spring mod! Anyone experienced in that field?

[Cirevam]

Hmmm...this could be made into a FS2_Open mod! Anyone experienced in that field?

Fix'd.

[aLPHA]

Thanks

[Acmex]

But we have even fewer (Read: noone) people experienced in that field.

[aLPHA]

Hmmm...I could attempt it...but I need to have all that software, and hex skills?

I could just mod BA and add this unit and a building that builds that unit. Probably be a Lv. 3 aircraft plant that also builds flying krogoths. But sadly, 7zip won't let me put it in sd7 format.

[Addictgamer]

Rename a .7z file to .sd7.

Easiest thing.

And, renaming a .zip file to .sdf is just as good.

To be honest, I'm not too impressed. They need a lot more detail. Were these made in Sketchup?

[Acmex]

Yes, they were.

And Non-"Pro" sketchup, at that.

You don't get a whole lot of detail, and I can't do much for texturing short of "coat the whole thing in Anodized Aluminum texture lol"

Heck, look at the original FS2 models. minus the texturing, the detail level is about the same.
