Deckplans done right!

[Solo]

Take a look at Scarecrow's deckplans here:

Except for needing some light gridlines for easy distance measurment this is great!

I bow at the feet of the master!

Thanks, guys. Glad you like them. I'm still trying to find time to finish this one - aswell as the Scout and several other projects!!

Sadly, even if Hunter wanted me to do any work for him, I doubt wether I could work to anywhere near the speed he would require.

I'll be sure to post here if I have anything new to show

Wow, that is awesome!

(I was also pleased to see you credited Stan Sakai- I've always been a fan of Usagi & comapny.)

I particularly like the drives, they have a certain 19th century asthetic to them... I'd be quite happy to know a jump drive had at least a few clutches, bearings and purge valves.

Scarecrow,

That was pretty sweet! Nice work! It definitely adds flavor and atmosphere to ship deckplans. Looking forward to others as you have the time and inclination.

Happy New Year,
Flynn

Well, that wasn't really my intention but I can see what you mean.
I felt that starship engines (sublight or superluminal) should be incredibly complex affairs, equal to or more complex than the jet engines of today. I set about locating all the photographic material that I could of jet engines and even car engines and montaging them in photoshop.

All the textures are done in a very similar way to game textures. Very little of the plans are hand drawn but very little of the textures used in the plans are also in their original state.

Did you all look at the two AVI's that accompany the plans?
