The BrikWars Forums

hey, I've finally decided the crap I do with sketchup is ok enough to be vaguely considered art, so I decided to make a deviant art page.
in order to fill up the empty gallery I made some screenshots of the vehicles that I have finished:

first: the landtrain.
I already posted this somewhere in the artwork forum but I figured I'd post it again because I don't really care.



I simply thought it would be a cool idea to put tankthreads under a train. I think it looks pretty good for a first try.
A running joke about this is that should the dutch railways actually have such a vehicle they might actually be "prepared for the winter" like their commercials were claiming BEFORE the snow started falling XD

second: The pegasus


this is what I think my personal spaceship would look like. it was inspired by the GDI kodiak from CnC tiberian sun

third: the Dropship








the DS-25 "helldropper" (bad pun but I like it) is a bit more recent than the other two. its an orbit to surface heavy transport to get the heavy (read: deadly/funny) stuff where you want it.

Im currently still working on a fightercraft and a spaceship. Ill post pics of the WIPs later.
Im also screwing around with a plugin called sketchyphysics, which will allow me to animate the models once I've got it figured out.

So what do you think?

This stuff is pretty damn cool, nice work. I've dabbled in CAD before, but could never get the hang of it. Quite depressing.

Anyway, great stuff!

Yep, seen this stuff back on DA, pretty awesome ranger

bumping the thread for new stuff

I've downloaded a renderer for sketchup, that makes everything look better. this is the first test:

I've also uploaded two new models:
the first is an air/space superiority fighter in a diesel punkish style (needs a better colorscheme):

the second is a space ship. I went for world war two in space, which meant turrets, turrets, and more turrets:
