<div class="IPBDescription">I need an artist</div> I'm currently in the process of making a Natural Selection map. I am trying to visualise a on-ship transport system that would link the docking bay with other areas of the map. I need artwork to design the transport vehicle as i wish to have one modeled.

If anyone could come up with some designs for the train/tram/bus/monorail/whatever transport vehicle i would be very grateful. Hopefully one will be made into a model and used in my map.

Imagine away guys and be creative....

[EDIT]I could really do with some innovative designs for cold storage and regular storage boxes. If anyone can help on that it would be great!![/EDIT]

This ship belongs to a specialist research branch of the NFO or Neptune Freight Organisation, to give them their full name, with funding by several different world governments (though if they knew that they were doing that they would soon stop!!)

This ship is one of the biggest ships constructed and to all intents and purposes is an unknown quantity outside of it's crew, senior NFO officials, and selected Senior members of the TSA (how else do you think the TSA funded it's research programs huh?)

The transportation system will be for cargo, with a 'drivers' area. It will transport goods from the docking bay to various parts of the ship (Lab storage rooms, food storage, general supplies) much like the underground network of tunnels and stuff at disney world that enables the performers and staff to travel around unseen.

There are no real restrictions, the model will not be working in map, unless it is extremely low poly count when finished, but really should be as unique and practical as possible.

I want a variety of containers too because of the different types of cargo that would be carried.

It is being made in hammer, FYI.

NEX9 · March 2005

eh yellow = cargo holds, they are big rooms loaded like dumpsters

has space travel so it may cruise aroudn the out side of hte ship to get to other docks and not run thro a net work of tunnels

two control rooms one oservation liveing area

its a mix between the 85 essendan bomber plush toy a bat mobile and a submarine

shrugs

NEX9 · April 2005

NEX9 · April 2005

NEX9 · April 2005

NEX9 · April 2005

and the climate controled 44

Soul_Rider · April 2005

Shiroh and Zerobyte, I like the feel and basics of both of your sketches. Would you mind spending some time doing a more detailed sketch as that is the sort of thind i am looking for.

Nex9 Your drums are really cool and i would be definitey interested in using them. Unfortunately i don't think the ship would be right for the transporter.

Thanks for all your help so far and please keep it up, the map is progressing slowly, but i'm going to have to leave a large part until completion of the model transporter, or i won't know how big to build the area!!

NEX9 · April 2005

the transporter idea i riped from the war hammer 40 space marines, but since i didnt want to be a total rip i made it more of a frigate

the way i imagined this thing isnt so much as a transport more so a mining haller

carrys minarals from one space mine to a processor, this things actuly big enough to have a map in it

if you are after a mono rail ill do another

ill email you the barrel

and get you some creats and stuff

err wait the barrel was made in milk shape, can that be changed to a entite and throw in a map

Soul_Rider · April 2005

Is the barrel meshed and skinned or is it just a model?

If it is finished it just needs to be a .mdl file so i can put it in my map. If not i will get it skinned and meshed. Thanks for your help Nex9.

NEX9 · April 2005

it needs to be skined about 9 times

i would like a copy of said barrels with skins
