logan_4600 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 A little vid! https://mega.co.nz/#!4R9RSB7D!DaS2Q-dbQhk4_Ym2d6LTMR2oMIIeIK30M1mYmzhEa8c Quote
Mommar Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Hmm, it isn't doing anything for me. Anybody else able to view this? Quote
logan_4600 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 A friend had troubles with IE... :/ Quote
logan_4600 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 That is a pretty sweet three seconds. Thank You! (and, about an hour to render!) :/ Quote
logan_4600 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Thank You! Working on the front ´torso´ (or upper ship part). Dit it like 3 o 4 times in different ways now... :/ (i thought that after de head/tower/bridge everything wolud be a peace of cake) Quote
MechTech Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 This is coming along great! I'm not a digital guy, but a scratch build modeller in plastic. To encourage you, A LOT of my parts are redone several times and it's not as easy as "cut and paste" or "delete" to fix them. But when you don't quite like what you've done - you've GOT to redo it! That's what quality is. Keep up the great work! - MT Quote
logan_4600 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks Mech! Indeed! aaand, if you count in that little thing called life... Time gets in the way! Eitherway, i did had some spare time, here´s the progress! Quote
Mr March Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Terrible. You might as well just forget about it. It's clear this isn't any good Your work is so amazing that even the smallest updates are exciting news. This latest update continues to build upon your promising start. As always, I eagerly await more. Quote
Mommar Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 You simply have to finish this model. It's turning into one of my all time favorites. I know this design is going to be your own thing but are you taking inspiration from the TV or movie version? Quote
logan_4600 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Thank You guys! mmm... i think my first reference is the TV show, but, there are way more illustrations and visual references from dyrl, so, a mix from both and just a bit of my vision i think... Btw, off topic for sure, have you seen Valkyre Project? Quote
coronadlux Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Btw, off topic for sure, have you seen Valkyre Project? killed off by a c&d letter allegedly from HG. The guys have yet to post any concrete evidence. Now they are going forward with their own designs of mecha that are not associated with Robotech. It WAS a good project tho. Quote
sreichma Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 They are not cannons or weapons. They are sewage discharge lines. Quote
logan_4600 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 They are not cannons or weapons. They are sewage discharge lines. Really? killed off by a c&d letter allegedly from HG. The guys have yet to post any concrete evidence. Now they are going forward with their own designs of mecha that are not associated with Robotech. It WAS a good project tho. Yes, but, i don´t get what did happen´d there, they where legally ´ok to go´ by HG :/ (And, that´s what i love MACROSS! hahaha) Quote
Mommar Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 They are not cannons or weapons. They are sewage discharge lines. He's joking. Quote
logan_4600 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Oops... (lost in translation) Thks Mommar Quote
logan_4600 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) So! How is everybody!? Slow but somewhat steady progress , aaaand, yes! im doing it completley granular! (Now, i´m not sure if it´s ´menacing´ or ´threatening´ enough by now) Edited March 20, 2014 by logan_4600 Quote
Mr March Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Those beam cannons look amazing. You've really managed to give them some fine detail that blends right in with the rest of your model. Bravo! Quote
logan_4600 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Thks Dimes! the thing is, that, there is no ´in detail´ views or pics from the cannons :/ (like many many others blind spots of the ship sadly ) Quote
logan_4600 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Thks Mommar! So, now, THIS feels way more menacing now! Quote
Zinjo Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Thks Mommar! So, now, THIS feels way more menacing now! Very nice. Why do the "fins" between the cannons seem so uneven? Quote
Mommar Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Hmm, I don't really understand what this is a photo of honestly. Quote
logan_4600 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Very nice. Why do the "fins" between the cannons seem so uneven? Actually, the spline and later loft nurb made most of the edges very like a ´snake´ form, while i do use that as and advantage (you can see it in the inner extruded lines lines) Indeed, or i find a way to correct them (like the exhausts of side burners) or they will be erased. Hmm, I don't really understand what this is a photo of honestly. Mommar, my limited english is not geting this one :/ ( sorry ) Very nice. Why do the "fins" between the cannons seem so uneven? crap! you are wayy right! they´re AWFUL jajaja Quote
Mr March Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 The level of detail in each new picture is amazing. We never got to see any UN Spacy cannons opening and firing until Macross Frontier came along some 25 years later. So it's really nice to see a fan like you going back to re-imagine the way those old SDF-1 Macross cannons would have opened up and fired. Correspondingly, it also helps us to imagine the guns on the ARMD Class Carriers and other UN Spacy craft from Space War I. Well done! Quote
logan_4600 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Thank Dimes! Truth is, when i´ve started the model, i wanted to be able to ´be´ in every single place of the ship (aka ZOOM THE S*&%t OUT OF IT! ). My actual knowledge of CG does not allow me to do that right now, but, at least, give details in places where there where none, like the cannons (Who can argue the detail of something that never existed in first place!? ;P hahaha ) Ps: any simpler translation on Mommar comment is welcome!

Zinjo Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Hmm, I don't really understand what this is a photo of honestly. The large cannons shown on the top of the center module of the SDF-1 http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120513144750/robotech/images/6/68/SDF_Macross_Launch_Ceremony_by_yutori_custom.jpg Edited April 1, 2014 by Zinjo Quote

Now i get it! It was to show the progress on the Cannons! Quote
Mommar Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Right, but I was confused about what was inside of them. Quote
logan_4600 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Right, but I was confused about what was inside of them. I thought of it like some ´giant needles´ gathering the power to shoot (or something like that) something like the attached pic. I stil have to do some detail work inside the cannons and between the needles. ( ps: ´fins´ fixed too! ) Quote
Zinjo Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Perhaps something like the Zentradi beam cannons or a variation on them. http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/nupetiet-vergnitzs/zentradi-gunsandlaunchers.gif Considering this is still a restored SA Gunship, the technology could be similar. Unfortunately the anime never shows the weapons not already firing. So we don't see the "guts" of the cannons. Edited April 3, 2014 by Zinjo Quote

Yep, the needle thing came out of memory from the Zentraedi ships, after seeing the pic, it made more sense than something like that than a giant modern-human Cannon. Maybe the cannons at the bottom of the ' belt ' I do make them Destroyer mounts and missile launchers (like, open up, one side has MKII's and the bottom side an army of missiles) Quote
