Diamondback Explorer SHIP KIT WIP (Proposal/feature request)

[=TIA=THEITALIANACE]

A new kit piece,hope you like it.

All are concept, nothing definitive.

You must consider anoter thing, the texturing work give a great finish-like aspect, than i must consider some areas dedicated to grid,light, writings like "danger" or "no steps" and other.
The work on the normal map give another depth to the work.

Bye

I made a forum account just to ask devs about the DBX and it's hopes for a ship kit. Glad I did a search and found this first before starting one! Here's hoping.

 

[=TIA=THEITALIANACE]

Here we are[yesnod]

 

[Konnivar]

Seriously awesome work there; makes me want a DBX shipkit and I barely fly mine!

The considering the snake theme of most ship names one might be confused in thinking that the Diamondback series of ships is named after the Diamondback Rattlesnake. However, based on it's design the name likely comes from the Diamondback moth:

The Wiki page on Diamondback moths for anyone interested.

 

[=TIA=THEITALIANACE]

May be true man, some new design will be inspired by your research![smile]

 

[Jubei Himura]

I'm really liking this thread, man. I especially like it when you highlight your kit additions (the basic shader makes it hard to see some of the rear additions). Man, I wish I had your knowledge in 3D. Keep up the great work!

 

[=TIA=THEITALIANACE]

Thank you man,stay "tuned" to see more stuff![yesnod]

 

[=TIA=THEITALIANACE]

This ship must have big eyes!

Hope you like it.
Bye.

Two new winglet:

Ready to fly?

Another Spoiler concept, less intrusive:

Working on another rear-side bumper now,bye.

Official ship kit Vs community render... Community render is better. What a surprise :/

 

[Qohen Leth]

Yup, thanks for the link to here. Looks better.

Thank you for the support, differnt style, different hand, different work experience can give really different result.
Don't forget the "orders from above".
Kit review by me,based on the image of the store:

Some solution are just like mine, due to the ship original design.
Some parts are the same moved here and there, to make a kit.

Wait...waiy...are the same part of the Type-6 ship kits.:x
A big -1 for the effort and originality.

Some vertical wing on the top-back may have problem with fuel-scoop/fsd hatch animation.I must check it.

Anyway i'll buy it cause i know that there is a person like me and an entire team behind that work.

Is not the best of the design? May be. But target achive, we have a ship kit for the Diamonback Explorer.

What's the next one, ask me and i work on it to push the devs on the right way [heart]!

Again thank you for the support

 

[=TIA=THEITALIANACE]

Although it is not as I imagined it, even if they are always the same pieces used for other ships, bought and liked!

Hey Tia, just wanted to say thanks for putting this DBX design up. I even like that you tried to defend their team from embarrassment. The thing is, is that we (the community) has been requesting a DBX ship kit for the LONGEST of times now. How coincidentally that when a community member shows that it's possible to get a nice sleek design, FDEV scrambles to re-use parts to make their own. They should honestly just higher you. Good job, at the very least you got them to do something. So again thanks and awesome work.

P.S.: Would you consider doing one for the T-7?

 

[Kilostream]

Ah, it was a nice idea, but I already thought the DBEx was a strong candidate for best-looking ship in the game - looks a bit like an insect crossed with a harrier jump-jet! I'm afraid all the little doodahs and thingummies just subtract from the aesthetic for me in this instance.

-No problem, go for the type-7
New Thread tomorrow.

-Someone still spent time to settle for short. Appreciated.

-Thanks for all the compliments, I will use them to line the Type-7

Yes i like this space-insect like you! I think my proposal is on this line.

Unfortunately, not having worked first on the original project makes things more difficult.
Everyone has his ideas, his skills and his experiences.
I am specialized in aeronautical constructions and I designed engines until yesterday (about), now I move in the video game industry.
My past shapes my future.

Hope you like it.

Sweet! Awesomeness!

That is quite the background you have by the way. Reminds me of Sam Sammarco's I think he was some sort of astrologer or physicist and got picked up for FDEV. I myself work in the aviation industry and eventually plan to move into the space industry. But a younger self wanted to go to Full Sail at one point in my life to get into the video game industry. Unfortunately, my arts and programming skills are non-existent.

Best of luck to you!
