B-30-F "Titanic" Bretonia Freighter

Click Here for Picture of Bretonian "Titanic" Freighter

I tried to borrow ideas from the original clydsdale design and make a ship a bit larger as a direct competitor to the Humpback. I didnt want to take too many ideas from the clydsdale, the result being "just a bigger clydsdale" but hopefully you can realize the little similarities.

I modelled this in 3D Studio Max.

Does anyone like this design? enough to put some work into it? I like modelling but thats as far as my patience takes me.

The model needs textures in almost identicle styling to the original clydsdale, i wouldnt know how to find the textures and i wouldnt know how to implement them correctly.

Post here if your remotly interested.

cheerio

You wont be helping me... ultimatly you will be helping yourself. Im happy to provide the model, ive indicated what its meant to be and what type of texturing it will require.

If you want to take it and bring it to the next stage of development with the eventual aim to implement it into freelancer then your free to do so. All i need to know is what format you need it in and if I cant export it in the desired format, then I will require advice on what to do.

I use 3D Studio Max 8
Current export options:

.3DS .AI .ASE .ATR .BLK .DF .DWF .DWG .DXF .FBX .HTR .IGS .LAY .LP .M3G
.MTL .OBJ .STL .VW .W3D .WRL

If you want the model in seperate components or as a single mesh, do say. All I ask is that I get some credit for the creation of the model itself.

I had to merge some of the mesh together, for some reason, everytime i export it as 3DS when the model is un-merged, when you import it again, the whole model ends up totally screwed up... im talking unfixable.

Have a play with that and if I can find out a way to fix this then I will update it here. It never had that problem in Max 4.2, but Max 8 has a couple of bizzare issues.

Nice model mate,

Hope you don't mind that i dl'ed it.

ANd with your permission can i use it in my mod that i am working on? (Credits given ofc )

Post Sat Dec 03, 2005 9:54 am

Yes, everybody is welcome to download and use the model, you are free to make adjustments where necessary and it doesnt need to be called the BF-30-F "Titanic"... it doesnt even need to be Britonian.

Although in my oppinion, it belongs in the Britonian fleet.

have fun

Great model, more people should make additions to the FL universe instead of Klingon Dreadnougths. Remember to post pics of it when it's textured, i want to see that thing. And possibly use it in my little mod.

One of the main problems with my approach is that I dont have any materials to work from.. at least not really, much of what I have done here is the result of mental visions. X-wings and all that type of thing is much easier because there are blueprints scattered all over the internet for modellers to use as a guide.

Ultimatly, I would like to be involved in the creation of relevant ships that can be imported into the standard freelancer world and looked upon as the new standard.

I would also like to introduce a new trading vessel that brings Liberty into the same league as the other sectors, at least when it comes to trading!

Would you be interested in modeling a MTB (missiltorpedobåt) for my planned mod, which will add Norway as a faction and any other countries people is wanting to have? I can show alot of pictures, but i don't know how to post them here... They would be of gunboat size, since that's what a MTB is really. (Missile Torpedo Boat, used by the Norwegian navy to patrol our fjords and play pirate in the sea around svalbard)

"Feeling the need to replace their bretonian line of ships, not very suited to the norwegian need, the Defence Departement issued the construction of thw MTB an TKB ships, creating a small task-force like gunboat fleet to respond to emergencies in Norwegian space."

"Qua?"
" Feche la vache!"

I like the design of them, just makes me nervous when i'm sailing that 18 year old maniacs is driving these as fast as possible (Insanely fast, should be illegal, in fact, it is, but laws don't apply to the state) through narrow straits and fjords...

"Feche la vache."
"Qua?"
