Love the ships...Not too sure about the aliens heads (if you think about natural selection the heads seem a bit excessive) but I can't wait to see them in color.
-
Interesting, A believable aquatic race.
Lets see a little more. :)
-
perhaps the head can be made rigid and used as a lance?
love the ship and waiting to see more. Also what class is that ship?
-
yes another aqua race like the hydran.
great work, show more ship class of that race and a few base would be interesting.
don't forget the fighter and shuttle :)
-
Holy crap - no really holy crap, I've got to go change my pants now.
Awesome work Atolm! I can't wait to see these fleshed out - because of the draft sketches of the aliens as well as the ships/tech, I bet someone's creativity will get sparked and they'll model these quickly.
My modeling skills are only up to bashing or I'd take it up right now. I'm better at writing, would you like me to come up with a back story? If so, just send me a message with what you think the background is and I'll flesh it out and send it t you for editing and release at your leisure.

cuddlefish...I think that's what those ships resemble (If I am remembering the correct animal)

Not just the ship but the aliens themselves look to be evolved from squid like creatures.
Actually even the name "Krai'Q" remains me of Kraken the legendary giant squid.
-
cool race and evolutionarry plausible and the Nautilid design of the ship is great to 8) :D
-
Thanks mates..I'll keep messing with them(be fun for a monster type mission)
Anti, you are correct, that's were I derived the name from.
Btw, the long appendage that you guys see on the "head" is actually the tail. cephalopods are actually neutrally directionally, meaning they can move backwards and forwards with equal ease as their heads are in the middle of their bodies. In fact, technically squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, nautilis, etc..all move tail first when swimming or jetting around naturally.
-
Hmm... late 1980s AD&D Spell Jammer universe meets SFC... Mind flayers and their nautiloid void ships.
In regards to the enlarged heads, I was thinking perhaps that they could have internal gas bladders (hydrogen maybe) to support the weight of the head when not in water.
Very interesting design there Atolm.

I was inspired by the shell (and that fact it's you, you graphical tease you) and made a rough mesh, took just under an hour so yes it's rough and unfinished, still some details missing but I need to check with you and it's only 2500 polies so far... try to ignore to rough main body cause it'd be covered in plates (yeah yeah... exoskeleton). if you want the mesh so far for a better look pm me a current email will ya.

BCH - Grimaldi Class
DN - Humboldt Class
BB - Architeuthis dux Class
:)

Are you guys on Krai'Q? :D
This thread is awesome! A whole new Atolm designed race and ship. WOA whips out a model in less tha an hour that looks this good. MP comes up with a fleet theory. I've got to be "sleep websurfing". I don't want to wake up!
This is what Dyna is alll about!
-
That's a really awesome sketch. Love the look of new alien species. First we have the turtleheads, now the squidheads!
Oh, Hydrans aren't an aqua species, they're methane breathers.
-
Seems WOA and I had similar ideas ;)
Anyway heres my interpretation
EDIT: also adding a mod file if you wanna view in the viewer
-
eh, did I step into a modelling Hoe down or something :D
I love the shell you've done, I have a habit of making things look industrial so your organic look is intriguing to me.
I added some armour and recoloured, going to work on the small details tomorrow, it's 4200 polies now though I have some faces to delete.

That's a brilliant texture job, but I think the earth-toned colours make it look like more of a land creature like a scorpion rather than a sea creature.
-
ahh, well it's not textures, I was just using colours to make the armour stand out... ;)
-
Looks like you guys beat me to the race...Here's my rendition: A command-cruiser
Special thanks yet again, to the Deadman for the renders:

Nice work there Azel.
Interesting thing here is, If you look at my model then WOA's then Azel's it looks like a natural progression it the technological development of the race.
-
sweet, you meshes are almost as good as your sketches now.
-
Awesome...an Era lineage :)
-
There goes another pair of pants :)
Awesome job by all - with texrures to tie them altogether it'll be a good start at a fleet.
-
Very Nice, cant wait to fly one ;)
-
me too :)

:D
