The Shipyard .blend included

I have started a sort of build it yourself spaceship model library. My goal here was to put together a collection of spaceship parts that one could use to make their own ships.

The .blend can be found on blendswap.com here is a link

The first layer is blank, then you have hull sections on the second layer, secondary components on the 3rd layer, the fourth layer has some smaller ships, and the 5th layer has small parts.

For this file I have focused on the cube as a base shape. For future editions I plan on using the Hexagon, and later rounded shapes.

This is a work in progress, and I hope to be adding updates as i have time. I haven’t done any texturing because I assumed that people would want to make their own color schemes.

If anyone would like to submit ideas for components I would be glad to try to add them, just get me your .blend or some concept art.

Very good, this is cool! Thanks very much!

Thanks - I always have a use for “sci-fi” stuff in the background. And this is a great help!

Here is an update to the Shipyard. I added some hull sections and a few engines.

Here is a link to the .blend

I’m still looking for good concept art for cubish spaceships. If anyone has seen any a link would be helpful.

This is a massive service to the Blender/scifi subcommunity. Your wonderful model has made my life as an independent scifi fimmaker so much better.

Just found your latest (0.5) version on Blendswap. Great stuff! Thanks for this!

Downloading from blendswap now! They look epic and there are infinite uses for void juggernauts lol.

Hiya greyoxide

Been trying to get various versions of 2.57 [from Blender Org] working with the Shipyard Script and not succeeding fast! Will wait till a new working version appears. [At Least I now know how to use SVN now, if nothing else].

However about your question about concept ships you might want a little look see at:

The Last is “Space cruiser Yamato” Maybe not quite what you were asking about but I suspect you’ll like what you find.

Each piece I find incredibly fascinating. Would you mind if I were to use these models in a video game?
