    Yes, you definitely should enter this into the contest. While unconventional, it has such utility (and it's public domain; I've used the previous edition lots) and creativity that make it a great example of Blender artwork. It's not an air vehicle per se, but it could be used to create air vehicles and so it's good for the contest.

    @jason, there is nothing wrong with this file, no reason to re-upload it from what I see. I downloaded it and opened it just fine. I'm running Blender 2.59 also. I would try and redownload blender and open it from the fresh version and see if that works.

    I am able to download and open it in 2.614 without any trouble. JIMFTEW could the problem be on your end?

    There really isn't much that would mess up the opening process, it's basically just straight geometry and 3 materials.

    Love your modeling skills and thank you for your work

    Also, I took a ship from one of your older shipyards and added some lights and textures to it as well as opening doors in the cargo area (which is rigged with a single bone to open) and thought I would offer it to you if you were interested in using it or reuploading it with the new additions. Just let me know and I'll get it to you if you want it.

    Hey guys kinda new to Blender, ok Very new to blender so gonna ask a newbie question. Have downloaded shipyard 0.7 (freaking awesome design btw) but I can't work out how to separate the layers when I open it up. The ship above opens in a blender file but I can't pull anything from it. Probably just me being a complete noob but can anyone help me with this?

    The models are incredible, but I'm having troubles with the normals. When I export to any format, a good number of the normals on the models are kinda weird. They look perfectly fine in Blender, but in any other program/format, the normals are inverted on several random faces.

    Written May 10, 2014
  • kevinfishburne profile picture

    Always apply negative scales before exporting. Also applying any other modifiers and recalculating the normals prior to export may help. And check for artifacts/intersections caused by any modifiers.

    Hey @whattapancake, sorry I missed your comment. Im willing to bet, your leaving "apply modifiers" checked when exporting. On 90% of the meshes I used the edge split modifier. This will almost certainly mess up the normals in another application.

    Just a warning; if you try solidifying some of the models (or beveling), you may get some artifacting. Be sure to take a look at each piece you decide to use and edit it as necessary. I know, general advice. In any case, Shipyard is absolutely outstanding. I still can't believe someone created this and dropped it CC0. Thank you greyoxide. I'm using this for a game I'm making (Sylph) and it has been (and continues to be) invaluable.

    First let me say that this is an awesome kit you've pot together here. Second, I noticed that you created wire overlays by having a second identical object with a wire material occupying the same space as the solid material object. This is not a good way to do this since it can result in absolutely horrific artifacts when rendering. A better method is to set the wire material to the same object with a z-offset of around .01 or .02 and put it at the top of the material stack. Same effect but no z-fighting. Also, your render tiles were set to 180x135. They should always be square for faster rendering. This was posted a few years ago so you may have already learned these lessons but it's here for anyone else who may be having issues and not know why.

    Thank you so much for this! I'm building my own ship (for my scifi story), and it would be an impossible task without all this amazing material you've provided! My only suggestion is if you could add more symmetrical shapes (like the hexagonal tube), e.g. Alcubierre drive rings, various types of domes, rotating habitat modules, for people like me who like to build symmetrical ships; it would enable an even wider range of ship designs as well as making it possible to build space stations and habitats. Awesome work!

    2 years late and all but for those who can't get it to work... Change the editor type to outliner (or split the menu on the right side in half and add it) then toggle the "disable in viewports" filter to on (the icon that looks like a computer monitor) then do whatcha gotsta do. You could also start a new file and append all the meshes/collections, but my guess is you'll still have to toggle that disable in viewports filter. ✌️✌️
