That was my first 3D model I've ever made.

Plans for my next ship.

A Nuclear powered Mars mission ship assembled in orbit by the Space Shuttle.

free? where download game?

Yup, completely free realistic space simulator.

http://www.orbitersim.com

It is designed to be easy to add ships and craft to it...somewhat. I use a free animation software utility called Anim8or to create ships for it. That is how I built that Klingon ship and a StarFury from Babalon 5 fame.

I've started to add parts of my modular Mars ship to the game already. I hope to be done by tommorow night.

Starting to come together now.

You can see I used a Shuttle Fuel Tank for the ship's fuel tank. Saves me some work making the model.

Good work Hans

Vorticon, then I highly, highly suggest you try the Eggplant tutorial on the Anim8or website. Don't be put off by the subject you are creating. It is learning how to do it in the first place that is the goal.

I was completely lost for a whole day after I downloaded Anim8or. I couldn't do anything.

After the eggplant tutorial opened my eyes to how the software works. Don't draw a polygon freehand, but use a simple one to start and mold/move/extrude it to get the shapes you want.

I cant get it to work..ill try tomorrow..

That is probably be because you need to download the Textures pack as well.

The game comes in TWO parts. The base file and the textures file. It is alot like WarBirds where they split up the artwork to keep the downloading down to smaller sizes for dial-up users.
