NAF 31: Stellar Defense.

Hello Fellas,

My name is Kervin Abbott, but you can call me Hundred.

NAF 31: Stellar Defense is the name of an original, soon to be produced (hopefully), animated series (CG of course), created by myself, earlier this year (early to mid January). NAF 31 stands for: Non-Terrestrial Assault Force 31, which is a special branch of the periods’ own contemporary Stellar Defense Corp (Earth Military). The Non-Terrestrial Assault Force was founded in the year 2331 (hence the number 31), after a Human founded, Martian settlement was savagely destroyed by a seemingly non-emotional, highly intelligent, as well as highly advanced (200 years or so more than the Humans), alien race; which the Humans (since no one, Human or alien, has ever actually had contact with one of these aliens), refer to as the “Non-Terrestrials” (or NT’s). (Most of the other alien races in the NAF 31’s universe use a mutual designation, or name, for the NT’s which basically translates to: “The Cold Hatred”.)

In the NAF 31’s universe there are about ten thousand or so known alien specie’s, not including the Non-Terrestrials. Several of these species’ occasionally assists the Humans in their fight against the Non-Terrestrials; who, for no apparent reason, have chosen the Human race as quarry in a sadistic “game” of extermination. For this reason the Human race in the NAF 31’s universe is almost always at a high state of alert.

The NAF 31’s chronicles begin in the year 2360; some 29 years after the Mars attack (by the NT’s), and it is approximately 25 years after “The War” began. (Note: It takes the Humans almost two years to find out who was responsible for the destruction of the Martian settlement, and another year and a half to actually encounter the Non-Terrestrials again.) The main plot basically revolves around events, which happen to, and around the Captain and crew of the SD (Stellar Defense) Battle Cruiser Zeptuss, however other ships, places, peoples, and crews will be frequently chronicled. The Zeptuss is the flagship of the Stellar Defense fleet; it is an Avenger: (Class-A) Battle Cruiser, one of the largest and most powerful ships in the fleet. It is also nearly twenty years old, and very close to retirement age, (a lot of refitted systems).

As with other Sci-Fi franchises, as well as those of other genres, not all of the NAF 31’s installments (episodes) will deal with the Humans’ war against the Non-Terrestrials exclusively. I mean where’s the fun in that? I intend to have many which deal with issue that affect us in current times, things that have affected us in the past, both serious and humorous, romance, as well as various other types of situations. All to make for a well rounded, hopefully successful, and enjoyable series.

These are some of the ships, technologies, objects, structures, and places that will be featured in the series. (All done in Blender of course.) Tell me what you think.

This is the Avenger: (Class-A) Battle Cruiser. (More info to come.)

that looks awsome

Looking very good. I’ll be following this WIP.

This is the Cyclone: (Wraith/Class-A) Fighter. (More info to come.)
This ship has been revised. See page 5:

This is the Cyclone: (Warhammer/Class-A) Fighter. (More info to come, must be redone.)

This is the Cyclone: (Banshi/Class-B) Attack Bomber. Though it’s not a fighter it is a Cyclone. In the NAF 31’s universe, what gives a ship it’s designation is the type of engine that particular ship uses. (More info to come.)

Looks really cool, but that ship A almost looks like a friggen shotgun.

To Rexono: Thanx.

To FloorPlay: Thanx

To LazyCoder: Thanx, and everybody makes similar comments about it resembling a gun of somekind. I actually designed it that way intentionally, and to be honest I really didn’t think use it beyond a few renders when I first modelled it, but once I saw it rendered I liked it so much that I made up a whole universe around it.

(More to come.)

This is the Mammoth: (Class-R) (Fuel) Tanker. (More info to come.)

huh! nice! i like your style! did you design all these beforehand? cos i cant spit out things that fast and good without insanely detailed designs.

To iliketosayblah: All of them, except the Warhammer (ship 4) and the Banshi (ship 5) were done beforehand, (in Rhino3), but those two were pretty much done a day or two after I got the idea. The rest were added to though, the originals (the Rhino models) were pretty bland, I pretty much got rid of most of those.

bah! your already better than i am…i wish i thought of these designs first… (cant wait to see some finished ships.

Wow! Those look great!

To iliketosaybah: Well to be honest I’ve been drawing since I was about 4 (Speed Racer stuff back then), and it just developed from there, I got my first proram in early 03 (a Rhino 3 eval), I was terrible. It’s not that I’m better than you, I probably just have more pratice than you. Give it time, and remeber one thing: it’s all just simple geometry.

These are some of the originals (NAF 31) if you’re interested, the rest were done at least a year earlier, I did all of these in Rhino (3), that’s why I’m not posting them here: http://www.the123d.com/portfolios/portfolio_Hundred.php

Maleficus: Thanx.

these look too cool to be true. and yes, YOU ARE better than me.

More of the Mammoth: (Class-R) (Fuel) Tanker. (Presently at 60%)

thoses materials look sweet! care to share? that bright blue
hurts my eyes, use a more subtle colour.

To iliketosayblah: Sure I’ll share the materials, to be honest I’ve had those materials for a some time now; and just so you know I didn’t make them myself, (the metallic pattern); I actually got them with an animation editing program I downloaded a few years back. And thanx.
