Hi!

This is a fantasy unit requested by Grandraem (thanks for the request - I learned a few good things about pov-ray while doing this :) ).

The phase effects look a bit weird in this preview. They look even weirder in the flicster with alpha on. But trust me, they are quite nice - strange&unique but nice in the game.

Phaseship files (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/Phaseship.zip)

Animations: Drop (phase-in), default, fidget, run, attackA, attackB and death

If you think, that some other animations are needed, please do make a request/suggestion, and I'll see what I can do. :)

This is a close-up of this 'deep-sea fish'

This scanned image (thanks to grandraem) shows some nice background info of this unit. This contains some useful info for the civilopedia entry...

Stunning! Absolutely beautiful, aaglo.:goodjob:

It looks even better than I expected. It's from an old Dungeons and Dragons game called 'Into the Maelstrom'. I always loved the picture, now I have a great 3-D model. Thanks.:)

I didn't recognize it until you mentioned that D&D game but now I do... Those blasted ships were my downfall :D

I love this one Aaglo.

What game is the " Gammerian Phaseship " from ???

I'm going to guess " SpellJammer " The demented TSR expansion of D&D

Actually it's Mystara based. One of the original worlds. you got the right game though. ;)

Been trying to get people to do some Spelljammer units, but not much luck. This would fit nicely, though :)

So someone do some ships from " Space 1899 " perhaps. !

This unit is totally awesome!! I think I'll include it in a Final Fantasy RPG (http://www.returnergames.com/) that I'm in the process of cooking up.

BTW, What kind of system do you need to run POV Ray, how much does it cost, and where can I get it? I'd kinda like to try my hand at modeling, but can't find any halfways decent 3d Modeling programs that don't cost a king's ransom and require a Beowulf cluster to run.:mad:

But anyways, this is another awesome unit, keep up the good work (maybe you could post a tutorial for us sorry wannabe modelers).:goodjob:

Hi sir slaughter.
Welcome to the forum.
Two problems.
First: It is considered rude (and is againts the rules) to bumpo old threads like this.
Second: this post is both off-topic and in the wrong sub-forum. If you want to make a unit reguest, do it in the main C&C forum
http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=46

If you have question on the rules, or what have you... consider reading the rules and then sending a private message to one of the moderators; not to me as I am just a regular user like you.
