The Freeholds Of Valyria

[MrTargareyan]

How are you converting these models to blocks? And what sort of scale are they in sketchup?

I am using binvox to convert the models ( http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~min/binvox/ )

And idk what the scale is, it doesn't matter as you set the size in minecraft in the binvox cmd

OK, here is the 3d model of my new colony research ship thing, even added some colour for you to give a better idea of how it will look, and yep; even science ships need dual fusion cannons (Coupled with a verge radiation accelerator (VRA) so it wont be destroyed by a pinnace with shields. There is also a pic of how big the cannon is in mc.





In the background you can see why I didn't post the whole ship, there are some binvox irregularitys I need to fix. I also need to add some level of detail first.

Looks good, but put more details on the ship! Its way too plain with just the sketchup model.

It looks like you're having fun with sketchup! I might try my hand at it sometime. Is it hard to pick up?

Not really, Blender confused the hell out of m so I switched back to this, it's just pulling and pushing flat faces, you pick it up in a couple of hours

Progress on my Light cruiser (previously science/colony ship, still WIP), downsized down to 300 blocks cos im lazy, but still has the firepower of a flayer dread and 1/2 (wide ship; big guns) Also, here is my heavily WIP version of the Sulaco; I made the model myself (im not that lazy) and have altered some of the ship, namely the engines; which I didn't like. Here are ze pics:





This is the original sulaco from Aliens (except its an airfix kit):

Fuck that looks good

[Laserbilly]

Both of your new ships look great!

[Dr. Mackeroth]

I like the first one (light cruiser). I think the Needle is lacking balance: it feels like a flying brick. It needs wings or some other variation in width.
