Not sure if serious.

[Destiny]

Not serious at all. I like how you do the fans though.

[Sgt. Rho]

They are pretty much directly taken from here:

cool beans!

[Sgt. Rho]

F-39 Aurora Hypersonic Strikefighter.

It's driven by 2 large pulsed detonation engines, and has 2 smaller PDEs supplied by the intake behind the cockpit, and an array of 3 gas turbines for power. One is active at all times, and used to power the electronics, the other two power the main weapon.
Default weapons are two vulcans and a load of 8 short-range heatseeking missiles.
Its main weapons are either twin plasma beam cannons, a high-energy pulselaser or a mass driver.

360°x360°x360° sensor cover, which consists of RADAR, IR sensors and forward-looking LADAR.

Ooh I really l like that

[Sgt. Rho]

And here is the final version:

Moar stealth planes: MQ-14B Swallow

[Destiny]

For a unmanned drone it sure has quite a conventional design

[Sgt. Rho]

It's based on Lockheed-Martin's "VARIOUS" UCAV concept.

"LE HAX"

[Sgt. Rho]

Practicing Spaceship modeling.

Here is a "Newton" class experimental Frigate. Humans are 1000 years less advanced than the next closest civilisation. How do they survive? WIth a gun that fires half-ton slugs at 70% the speed of light and that you cannot survive if you are hit by it of course! The gun has an antiproton-proton thruster as recoil dampening, as the main gun's recoil is extreme. Also carries 7 quad-railgun turrets mainly for defense.

Humans also have no gravity carpet or reliable FTL technology yet, so they rely on centrifuges for simulated gravity, and very damn fast ships for interstellar travel. These frigates also have TVC on the fusion engines. The ship is protected by armor and a strong particle shield. It's also the first ship to incorporate a functioning FTL drive at all, barely good enough to carry it to the nearest star systems and back. The armor serves both as protection and as heat sink.

[Sgt. Rho]

Done. Refurbished the armor plating.

[Destiny]

I love the ship. The detailing is freakin' awesome. If it could be rigged for...


I don't see any 'bridge' superstructures, hmm.

[Alias]

Looks quite a lot like a Void Ray.

[Sgt. Rho]

@Destiny: The bridge is located in the middle one of the three centrifuges under the frontal armor plates.

@Alias: Hadn't seen one before looking it up after you mentioned it. It does look a bit like it tho.



Thos tank trackmarks turned out pretty horrible...

XM-44 Sabretooth



The XM44 is the new Main Battle Tank of the Glizean Union, and the first tank to be built with a pure railgun. Earlier tanks either used hybrids or chemical cannons, never has a railgun-only tank been built. Its gun allows to be aimed more than 90 degrees upwards, and 30 degrees down. It's powered by a single microfusion reactor, and the railgun has 8 capacitors instead of the traditional one, allowing for a much higher rate of fire than usual, since one capacitor is used at a time to fire, while the others are recharged by the reactor. The XM-44 Was developed as a response to the Terrans' latest forcefield and armor technologies, and is due to enter service in 2263, 2 years from now.
The Sabretooth has 5 types of ammunition, of which 3 are usually loaded. A Tungsten slug in a sabot is the default ammunition, with extreme penetration power, able to pierce several tanks in a row. Next is a frangible slug, which desintegrates on impact, transfering all energy to the target, usually used to destroy forceshields before firing with armor piercing ammunition. Next is a cluster warhead, used to fight large or multiple targets at long range, such as tank formations or airfields. The tank can also be loaded with FLAK shells, if it's deployed on the exterior of spaceships to aid in defense, or if anti-air support is required. And lastly, the shotgun shell. 8 fin-stabilized rods in a sabot. As soon as the sabot comes off, the rods start to fan out like buckshot from a shotgun, allowing to hit multiple targets at once, such as a horde of Zombies, large insects or similar peskynesses.
The tank also posesses 4 RCS thrusters for low-gravity environments, and 4 retrorockets to slow down during air drops. The tracks can be fitted with magnetic pads for the use on spaceship exteriors, or similar situations. It uses metastable metallic deuterium and helium 3 as fuel.

Practicing with Maya. 7 hours of trying stuff now...I'd have finished by now in 3ds max, but considering how many studios use maya, I should probably learn it.

[Camille]

nice tank

learning new modelling programs is always a bitch

[Sgt. Rho]

Something quick I modeled: A more "primitive" version of an ancient drone weapon. Basically an ASAT missile with a kinetic kill vehicle, which is covered by a forcefield, allowing it to punch through many targets in a row. More of an anti-spaceship than an anti-satelite missile

[Sgt. Rho]

A WIP of an AA Tank I'm working on.

[Destiny]

Damn nice. The back of the guns look like they'd strike the hull if they tried to rotate upwards though

[Sgt. Rho]

Nope
