The X-303 Prometheus. I'm making the model for orbiter. Since Gmax, and cin4d, maya, are just too confusing, My Milkshape trial expired ages ago, since I can't make models in radient, besides compiling them into ASE's, Im using Anim8tor. Its one of the programs most people make orbiter addons with. So far I only know 30% of the interface so It's not as steller as if I would make it in radient.


enjoy

Its honestly not bad. I just don't happen to like the Promethius (I'm more of an Asgard person myself). Always wondered though: Why did they name it X-303 if the X-302 was a fightercraft? Another obvious questiuon, is "will the ship ever get a real designation?"

Well you have to rerember it's built from goa'uld, asgard, and earth technology so it's going to look differant. A few more updates.


PS. Besides orbiter I might ask physcosith to also put it in JA as a flyable vehicle. Then I can really lame the lugor mod server with it MUHAHAHAHAHA.

I see your point, but here's mine: why did the earth have do design a warship that looks that bad? (btw, the model looks good regardless)

i like the mode, but personally, i bloody hate the x303.

Its the ugliest thing Ive ever seeen

screw you sg1

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

I believe more needs to be done before showcasing it.

Anyway just started work on it's engines.

Can I see a reference of what you're modeling?

Heres the referance shot Ive been using and a small update on the ships side.

X for eXperimental.

The new designation for the X-302 is F-302, for the X-303 it's BF-303.

Aren't larger ships usually named after the first ship of that type? Like aircraft carriers and the like. So, you could have the Promethius-class Daedalus (sp?)

As for what the type would be, I have no idea. It's too small to be a capital ship, IMO. How about "battlecruiser"?

BTW, nice model.

P.S. They should have gone with Jack's idea and called it the "Enterprise"

The x-303 is the third in a series of ships that were earths first hyperspace capable vessels. the 303 is the third in the series, Donno why it's the 30 on the from... could just be the x-3 but 303 sounds better...

I think the other ships being built are promtheus class ships, so the designation of 303 will be dropped later.

the design of the ship is like that cause it's diffrent from star wars or star trek, it has a unquie look to it and I like it.

the model looks great so far, need more details and some nice tectures tho. I remember using anim8or, good little program fro 1mb and free....

Waaaaayyy too many polygons.

qffe

why are you wasting so many? i know for a fact orbiter doesn't require that many for animated surfaces or some other tomfoolery.

Look at the wireframe: He bread-cut the entire model up.

Anim8or sucks. Get a real program.

Screw the polys! She obviously handles well ingame.
Now just need to texture it.

It cut the model like that defaultly when the block was created. Im finding a way to go back and undo it into one solid. And theres no way im trashing animat8r it's the only modeling laungage I can translate interface wise.

If you can't figure out how to make a model in it without cutting it into a million unneccessary pieces, it sucks. :p

Actually The option came up came up of how many segments it would split it into when I created it. I just wasen't paying any attention to it what so ever, and just clicked the okay button. Anyway I finally got the model flying properly. Now just need to customize its speed, mass, bank, etc. Texture it, And hopefully give it retracting landing gear.

That ship is lacking a lot of things that make it... make sense. I know you can't put every little detail on, but right now, it looks like a floating pile of boxes. Which, essentially, that ship is. But each 'box' has a purpose. At the moment, your model doesn't look like it's ever served a purpose.

Atleast it still flys though. and hey its my first model ever. Of couse its going to suck lol. Now If I made the ship in radient then it would look far better than this. But of course I can't use radient to make orbiter ships.

that's the best model i have ever seen. period.

An updated model. Textureless. But shows most of the updates I made on its hull. Im about the realese the flyable textured one on spacesim mods. Should be fun In the future I plan to make a ton of updates as I try to improve upon my modeling skills.

I'd say it were sexy... if it weren't such a damn ugly ship (maybe you should earth's next ship Casperhead (or at the very least something that looks better than the 303)

do a ha'tak... they're cool
