Wow!
Must be fun to “design” something that never has to actually work. Doesn’t take an engineering degree.
Yes. I really agree with you. All these designs are all conceptual. In the real world you would crank out the designs using ProE, Autocad, Catia or solidworks. Then have it raked over the coals by a peer review. Oh, Yeah. I know it well.
Still the artwork is pretty. Useless, but pretty.
“Doesn’t need an engineering degree..”.
First, that’s kind of a shitty thing to say.
Second, an engineer couldn’t design something like that...it requires creativity and imagination.
This kind of Art and creativity is impressive.
When you are not constrained by the laws of physics, metallurgy, thermodynamics, Newton and a gazillion other things, you can make up fun, pretend “designs” that look really cool.
Explain why that is a “shitty” thing to say. It’s simply a fact.
That is almost certainly the most ignorant comment I will see all day.
Because you are dismissing the process that he has to go through to create this. It’s a freakin’ game. Your comment made his efforts seem less real than if he were working for NASA.
Maybe you did mean to sound like a sour old engineer, and if I misread that, accept my apologies. But in reality, you wrote that like an old guy suggesting “that’s just a picture.”
OK, give me a call when it flies.
I beg your pardon. Engineers don't have creativity and imagination in your universe?
I find it fascinating just because of the huge amount of patience and time that is truly required. I have played with modeling a bit and it just takes far too much patience for me. I guess getting paid to do it might make a huge difference. lol
Wow. Very cool!
That's almost as misguided as the other guy's comment.
It's not a design for a practical spaceship. It's artwork. Advertising copy. Its function is to get peoples' attention, so that they will want to watch the movie, play the game, read the book. We'll see, but I bet it will be successful.
Juxtaposed with the Babylon 5 station, I wonder how big this beauty is.
FFS, stop taking yourself so seriously. It’s an F’ing video game.
You must spend a lot of time with engineers. Ha ha. I know, I know...they create everything.
You must not know any in person.
Now I understand why Bernie Saunders is Vermont’s senator!
What is Fracture Space?
