Punisher Battleship

Made in 3dvia shape……. I have used maximum space that can be utilized…

Completion time: 2 days in planning & preparation + 2 days in modeling + 1 day in texturing & finishing touches

I dont see much shape entry for the challenge so decided to participate for the very FIRST time. Hope you like it……

Great concept and nice modeling

WOW, many details!

good one :)

Thanks :)

awesome model…….i love it……….>

Fantastic..!

This is an excellent warship, well thought out and modeled. I like that it seems to want to creep up on other ships from underneath, as all the guns are on the top. Under and top being subject to interpretation in space :)

i dunno about the textures, but i like that for shape

i did not uploaded nothing in the last while bevause i am searching a new program
ive found vue 8 but is only for “envoirments”
i now search something like doga l3 or 3d studio 10
see ya soon with heavy crafts(already skeched 8 warships but i can’t make them in time for the contest :( )

Thanks everyone for your comments & ratings….. :)

Hi Juan, I was hoping to add some more firepower at the bottom portion but unfortunately size (already past 10mb) restricted me from adding anything more to this model. Also this model is somehow inspired from the Matrix movie. Specially if you check the bottom portion there are spikes which creates lightning to float (like what was shown in Matrix) :)

I’m suprised its so large. maybe we can optimize :)
Ahh the Matrix hovercrafts, in the movie did they use large electro magnets ?

I’m having some issues finishing my own warship, but I will have it ready by the time saturday comes around. :)

wow great model
and a powerfull warship..
hope i can be finished with my model for the spaceship contest in time but it wont be able to go in battle against yours.
ok if there was 100-200 of them then they maybe they beat you..

sady2: You mean Vue d’esprit? It’s too bad you can’t upload to 3dvia with that program. You can use printscreen but it takes for-ever!

Juan..I dont know how to optimize this… :(

Ha ha…Thanks smike……..I guess I have added too much firepower in it….. :)

I also dont think there is any need of guns at the bottom as this giant ship has EMP (electro magnetic pulse) as it’s weaponry which can stop any machine from any direction.. :)

sorry the link did not work but now it does..

i just hope that your ship is alone and not uses fighters because all those guns would have big troubles avoiding shooting down its own support.
and the computer burns down trying to calculate hidding the enemy without hidding one of its own canons.

ok reality
dozens of simulations in spacebattle hos shown that its very diffucult to fight with big battleships alone you have to have some kind of fighter and bomber support consisting of small heavy armed vessels which has a better chance of getting a clean shot against the battleships vitale areas.
big shps cant turn fast enough to get a shot at the enemy before the anemy has moved again.

Yes smike thanks for your comment…. thats a comment from expert :)

You are correct ..It’s really not possible to rotate in a fraction of minute for this heavy giant & it definitely need some support to divert the attention of its enemy so that it can make a clear shot.

wow, Brilliant work

Gr8….

Needs more guns! Haha, just kidding… nice model!

Thanks :)

I love the heavy gun install.
Unfortunately the detail model reach the space limit

Fantastic Partha; excellent job.

Thanks abhishek :)

Gr8 work….Almost a week was invested….so its a huge model….. :)
Keep it up!!!

Thanks Ashish:)

I almost forgot judges will decide the winner now…All the best everyone & great models for this challenge…I think overall it has better models entry than the other challenges…so it will be tough for everyone…….

i bet you and marian will be finalists
i cannot decide
wait, i have two accounts, remember?
(i know that the voting should be secret :P )

Thanks sady :)
But This time there will be no voting (as Juan mentioned) as last time it was found that people can vote many times with single login so this time only judges will decide the winner…..I know you are always on my side :)

i guess it wasn’t so easy creating this ship !!
awesome model Partha :D

Thanks Jack….. :)

Shape always give me trouble to make complex surfacing…….Just hope someday it will improve enough to compete with other great softwares available…….

i like the beacons on the circle side
hope you win :DD

Thanks once again sady… :)

Partha u rock! Like always.., Great art.

Thanks saurabh :)

Partha, as always, you combine a great model with a great story. Keep up the good work.

Thank You :)

Pinkskinks brother here. Nice one. I’d have voted for this one

Thanks :)

Happy New Year 2010 guys :)

Awesome model Parth!, And a Happy New Year as well :)

Thanks Shannon and wish you the same :)

Amazing model in shape. Really impressive.

awesome work in shape :)

Thanks guys :)

Great Work big bro :D

Great job!

Thank U :D

Very nice one….
5 stars from me too :)

fantastic!! parth… awesome shape model and great story
i love it

Thanks for liking the story too which is one of the important aspect of this model :D

Wow this model is spectacular! I really like the story behind it also

The story is indeed the part that I find most compelling. It is believable and complete enough to set the imagination to work.

The model is fantastic. A definite 5 Star effort Parth! The unique shape and extensive detail make it great. (You can also tell how good this model is because of all the comments about specific strategical approaches, scenarios and how you might repel them.)

I’m in with the group that thinks having a mix of weapons on as many sides as possible is a good thing. Too many things can go wrong with one weapon system to leave an entire side wide open if something does go bonkers.

But, I’m not much of a war guy (other than loving the complexity of engineering solutions that inevitably come with it), so the experts have already spoken.

It is also great that you pointed out that you spent time PLANNING the model – not just starting and finding yourself in a pickle later. Breaking it into blocks of work is also excellent.

And, of course, the fact that you found yourself not really caring about what the judges thought is best of all because it meant the muse was with you! All else becomes irrelevant when the juices are flowing.

Are you considering adding on to it now that the limit is 25MB? (I think I just heard a groan come through my computer :) – I’m sure you’re ready for new challenges!)

Many Thanks for the comment. This model was incomplete without a single comment from Don. Now that It got one..It’s completed :)

Don there is indeed one important thing to tell you: We can upload upto 25mb size files in the website but we can’t publish any model beyond the same old, boring 11mb mark through 3dvia shape. The restriction is still there for shape users :(

So no matter what I can’t think of creating anything beyond 11mb. Can you ask the dev team to make this happen for shape too. Eevn I want to publish large models.

Dang, I didn’t know that! Yes, I will push to have equal treatment for Shape models!

oops!! I forgot to thank my friend Enjuaguese for his comment. Thank you brother :)

Thanks Don for forwarding this issue to dev :) Hope we get the opportunity to publish 25mb files soon through shape.

We’ll see. Keep your fingers crossed!

In the matter of fact I wanted to add some more weaponry to this model after juan announced that we support upto 25mb but when I tried to add it shows me error – “Publication Failed. Size is huge.” :(

This ship is originally inspired by Matrix movies. In case you have seen this movie all the heavy guns are installed at the top. Thats why you see the same treatment in this model too. But I also think weapon should be distributed equally in every direction to increase the chance of winning a battle. At least I came to know this after making this model. Nevertheless I will try to make another heavy model after 3dvia shape supports 25mb file to be published. These models are always huge and with restriction this becomes more tough to control your imagination.

That’s funny! Did it actually say “Size is huge”? I like that message for its brevity and candor.

But we still don’t want to see it on our models. :)

awesome!!!
