Luckily I've already got a Fusion Model. Shouldn't take long to do. :D

NIce model Mdhay - love the split nose on the FEISAR. Came out better than I expected mate :)
You expected worse?!!? :O
Jokes mate, thanks. :D
lol, clearly my imagination is not as good as your sketchup skill :)
Good morning all, bright morning here at Mt Everest HQ. As you are aware, i'm here speaking on behalf of team Quadteki. We've gathered you all here for an announcemnet, a rather groundbreaking one infact. Goteki has indeed finally agreed with Quadtekis joint sponsorhip project of funding their thruster technologies, we in turn have acquired not only the bluprints for their ship but the POSIX linked arm technology. Yep - the one which allows arms to swivel and tilt according to speed, velocity and required movement and trajectory - thru means of highly advanced AI - piloting at high speeds becoes a lil more instinctive if you take my meaning ;). Fortunate for the Quadteki team, this came at a crucial time, whereby, the use of this technology - coupled with Quadtekis own developments in lateral torsion experimentation has led to even more unique developments in the field of weapons development technologies.
I will at this time refrain from saying anymore, but will leave you with this one thought. What if a ship were to have half the chassis from one team, and another half from another... what would happen then? ;) before you pass judgement, remember this is a project undertaken by A.L.T.E.R.N...
See you all soon. ACE, AirLicker Group
new wipeout team..
team england
manager is fabio capello
speed ==slow
handling=impossible
thrust=only off the field with each others girlfriends
brakes=N/A they never got started
shield=john terry's flying salmon move looks good but fails to shield
special weapons=stealth goal ..its so good its impossible to see
now..out of business for 4 years:nod
:eek ^^ history repeats itself in the future. When Football, cricket and other conventional sports no longer exist, the English still maintain the tradition of getting it very wrong :D
A.L.T.E.R.N update: Novatech
Rumours were in circulation that the team had been disbanded by an unfortunate incident. I now reveal that the rumours were engineered to keep the teams progress shrouded in secrecy from recent threats from the Goki Tengu. That threat is no longer immediate, and Novatech has revealed its' intention to carry on with their revoltionary entry into the FX500 Pro-AGCR, by introducing their new craft in a future update.
General Update, from Novatech laboratories:
"The scientists at Novatech Engines feels very angry and disappointed for all these false notices.
They are still working at a very innovative project, and this should take a very long time to be completely realized.
Please don't believe to the words of this company of bugs, only A.L.T.E.R.N. is reliable now!
Novatech Engines"
The author of the notice has decided that his name can't be revealed.
Protonic AG team
Dual hull ship in development:

That's all for now... 8)
I'll make the paintsheme and the final render when I'm at my real pc!! :P
:+ wow, it floats n all :) I loove it! :rock
love the detail on underneath btw :) this is good stuff, i'm very impressed Xpand :)
Thanks!
Here's a pic of a bit of the paintsheme:

I'll post more tomorrow!
That's looking excellent, :) loving the floaty gifs especially. That texture looks pretty good too with the bumpmap. What program are you making this in?
I've started one in Cinema4D which is turning out to be much more suited to this stuff than sketchup. I'll render some WIPs in a second and upload them to this post.
Edit: There we go :) I've got some nice vents, cockpit and I'm gonna leave a nice big space on the nose for a decent texture map.
above 2 posts :+ Good stuff guys, loving it :)
Thanks!
@andy: Cool looking ship! I use gmax wich is a freeware released by Autodesk 7 years ago. It doesn't have an advanced rendering engine... It can only render still frames by using an add-on called Gmax Render Suite.
I learned to make models from a single primitive piece, like a cylinder or a box.
This one I started the whole fuselage from a tiny box.
Ok, here goes the story and more images:
The Protonic AG team was founded in Aveiro, Portugal, in the year 2196, by three men who grew up watching the AG racing leages. The ship's two auxiliary engines are made from Feisar scraps found in France from the FX300 league and then enhanced with portuguese made parts. The main engine is a portuguese design: it's a compressed plasma engine made by Magellan and it's called Navigator, it produces thrust by compressing plasma through magnetic fields and making it burst out of the exhaust pipe making the ship reach speeds of 976 km/h.
The levitating engine is from Feisar's F7200 ship.
The body is custom made from a special alloy of interlaced carbon and titanium. The paintsheme, white with blue toned stripes, represents the sea, those glorious days of the portuguese when they reached other parts of the world in the 16th century and our ability to cope with the sea.

Absolutely amazing pics there Xpand :+ I love the colour scheme, and the ship looks rapid!
The last pic (head on shot) reminded me of the FX400 (PULSE) Qirex Concept ship a little too :) nice touch man :)
Thanks!
Yeah it does seem like the Quirex Concept, but I can assure you that was pure coincidence! :p
I'm sure it was :) besides it just looks like that form that angle - and anyway, the Qirex Concept rocked! You're on the right track in an ycase, and I'm in full admiration of your works so far :+
Thanks Xpand :), maybe you could use blender, that's a free modelling program. I've never used it before, but maybe it is more powerful than autodesk. I've been learning Cinema4D for a few months in college for a game design course, and I just want a little practice over the holidays and maybe build a portfolio. I've started using your technique as I was told by the tutor it was the best and least memory intensive way to make things for games, although this one isn't :p I'm trying to use as little primitives as possible though.
Well anyway, I think I'm more or less finished with the modelling at the moment. I'll start on UV mapping it soon. :)
That's looking really cool!
I have blender, but I just can't get along with the UI and key combination...
Maybe you could acquire a copy of cinema4d, it's meant to be really easy to use, I'm getting the hang of it so it must be. :D
Andy, the GEIST is like - i'm lost for words mate :) truly this thread is starting to see some real amazing stuf starting to happen once again.
I'm very pleased, very ;)
I've got to check the prices for cinema 4D... I know 3DS max 10 is ridiculously expensive...
team stats
Speed 8
Handling 10
Shield 7
Thrust 10
Our ship performs mediocre in the lower speed classes, but it outruns the comptitions on the Phantom speed class.
Our technologies are a secret. We have not officially been accepted into the FX500. We are underground. We are the team you are all speculating about.
We are the team, you don't want to meet. We are Cold-Fury.
@pigeon:
That's a bit overpowered.The ship has a total stat of 35 out of 40.
The other ships seem quite interesting.They may fill the grid for the FX-500...
Cold-Fury eh? ;)
I would love to work on a background story with you that involves my team: NightFury :D. Could be interesting, PM me if interested bro!
I'm gonna agree with feisar, that's pretty OP lol.
Well I'm gonna start UV mapping this in a second. I've added a seat, put down some colour, which will probably change, and I've got a logo which I'll slap on a few times toooo. I'm gonna do some sponsers logos and whatnot, and then I'll be ready to throw them all together onto the UV map.
Andy :+ man the red cockpit is so fusion eg-x that i'm getting nostalgic. Loving that man! Awesome work, ... damn! How does it fly?
@ Super Rocket Pigeon = the ship is a bit over powered mate. Not all is lost though, Your team has not been accepted by the commision at this time due to the ship stats being over powered.
There are ways to remedy this, I'll explain in the A.L.T.E.R.N social group in a thread there, tongiht.
Pending the revisal of your team stats, I see no reason for team Cold-Fury not to be in the knock out phase of the FX500, ... :)
@JKP & SRP, a nice idea to have Night-Fury and Cold Fury join up together. There's something quite balanced about this, probably the fact that your names abbreviate to 3 letters all ending with P - and your team names ending with FURY, awesome :D Tag team racing anyone? :rock
NightFury dev blog log 23/06/2103:
"Feisar have confirmed that they are not interested in the split nose design and with that I am proud to welcome that for the 1st time ever we will be a complete Unit and not a "branch" or "division", Supported By the Airlicker Industries we shall rise and let the world know our dream to be the ship with the worlds leading airbrake system! This log also confirms our ship stats for the 1st time to you, the public:
-Thrust:4
-Speed:8
-Handling:10
-Shield:4
NightFury Out!
The splitnose design will still go ahead as per!
@Andy : Great work matey :D :+ Looks awesome!
Awesome, andy, I especially like the exhaust nozzle! :+
Thanks guys :D
I've started texture mapping so I'm just playing with some ideas. Not happy with it yet, but this is how it is at the moment. Still need to make up some sponsers and something bump-map it with. That grey thing in the middle is making it a little unbalanced too I reckon so I'll change that soon too.
WOW, please slap these into A.L.T.E.R.N. TThe GEIST ... man this ship is the next generation, the FX500 is its home :rock
will do ace, thanks :)
I've added some sponsor logos, changed some material colours and I've modified the middle bit as well. Still going to UV map the back wings and then I'll bump map everything.
andy, how come it looks so different proportionately from different angles? Something to do with perspective settings? Is it possible to get a front an image with perspective turned off so that I can judge the true proportions better? Looks awesome anyhow though.
I must've been holding shift as I zoomed in, it seems to change the depth, but yeah, no problem, I've just taken shots from the view ports so the perspectives should all be the same.
Dude! That's so cool!
On that front view for a minute I thought I was looking at a Feisar!
@ andy: impressive design, perfect colours, the white is absolutely nice :+8).
Honestly, am seriously amazed for your 3-D work :blarg:D.
A.L.T.E.R.N. - Novatech Engines: the first details of the ship are finally revealed!
"Hello for everyone at A.L.T.E.R.N. and a special greet for every AG-racing fan, your passion is the real fuel for our competitions and our progress.
With our advanced studies and technologies we have realized an outstanding ship model: our surface is made of compressed titanium, that can give a lot of resistance without an excessive weight.
Other details can be revealed in a very near future.
Novatech Engines"
Thanks for the extra shots andy. Lookin' good.
No problem Saturn, and thanks guys :).
I'm quite happy to say this is finished now.
Added AG units underneath and I've UV mapped the wings.
I'll give you the links to big images which should be in the same order as the attachments. They're pretty big so you can zoom right in, but watch out if your internet is on the slow side. :P
