Title: Colony cylinder test renders
Post by: Makotokat on June 06, 2003, 02:20:09 pm

Found an old mesh of mine and prettied it up a bit, the starship is for scale.... O'Neil colony

And......

A little animation I made this morning.... Colony test

Oh, that is excellent-  that is so cool! I might be able to help you convert it, if you don't want to do it yourself. Ohterwise, please do, its excellent... wonder if anyone ever tried one of those Dyson Spheres?

I don't think it would really work in SFC, just too big! My modelis based on the idea of a cylander 2 km in diameter and 13 kilometers long. You could have battles inside that thing. Mostly I made it to see if I could. It's an ungodly number of polys and I don't know how SFC would handle transparencies anyway! Ever watch Gundam.....the original series? Ships would fly into a colony cylinder!

Oh, I really do wish you would, if you wanted to. See, what I figure is that it would be applied as a ship- sort of like the planet surfaces that Chris Jones made a little while ago. Give it basic or bare specs, then you or the campiagn could choose it as another enemy ship, so that you could fly around in it like you could if you're a little bitty ship flying around a BB or DN; as oppose to a planet, that you could crash into. I think it'd be good too for a Listening Post or something... it'd work, and be awfully wild too!

She still needs a bit of work, but I'll keep an open mind! It's more of an exercise of what's possible!

Transperencies DO work in sfc3 i saw a thread a while back about it...I would love to see this made into SFC. My only request is gonna be could the City parts of the cylinder look more city ish?

I could see this being used as a replacement base or even instead of a planet in the SFC series...

Thanks for sharing this with us!

See? I told you so... I saw something about transpacencies also... hopefully all this input will give you some more ideas too.
