Yo.
This one is in the same "universe" as the last one. (See "Anime-based Star Fighter-WIP forum")
In fact, I'm going to be using it in the very same animation. So the theme behind these ship is that they are computer controled drones. Humans stay on planets and starbases. We just don't have the reflexes for interstellar combat. I've got more story-line, but I'm not going to share that now...

Ok, here's the sketch that got me started on this design:

And some all-around views....

And a short animation of it in "flight"... http://hedfiles.hypermart.net/ger.avi

Well, I'll post some more pictures of the converted Raptor - I was originally going to have it be a human-flown craft, but changed my mind.
Well, Enjoy!

Hmm, I couldn't get these images to come up at work but I've tried my home account and they came up eventually.

The ship looks pretty cool and so does the avi. The low-poly engine flames that flicker behind the ship are pretty effective.

Perhaps I should explain... That sketch got me *started* on this design. Here's the one I mad e for this particular model:

OK, and I've added some more detail on the model:

And a short animation of it firing, with sould and music, same trick used for the music as the one in the trailer.

And the upgraded version of the Raptor:

I'm also looking for a name for the new model. as you might've noticed, it's a German fighter. I'm calling it the Stuka, but I'm looking for new names...

Well, enjoy guys!

So is your idea "Nazis vs. Jews... IN SPACE!!1", or what? Nice work btw, I'm just curious.

The thought had occured to me. :-) And, yes, there is a story behind it.
Thanks, and keep 'em coming!

nice, very nice. the ai controlled ships looks similar to the ship design of the homeworld game. is this a anime OVA or a series?

mm. Its a old topic. Jews in space. The 70�s tv show Battlestar galactica had the same setting. It was based on the Exodus from the bilbe. Very loosely offcource.

Im waiting in anticipation for them to cross the redsea nebula.
