Macross Models 3D colelction

cosmos28 I have the game(s) and their extracted data, tell me what Valkyrie & what transformation form and I'll try to find it and pass you the horribly messy exploded model and textures.

By the way I know "xr79" was "fixing" models from M30 too. Their goal seemingly to import this stuff into "second life." Yet sharing the models here? Irony.

This part of that thread:

That's cheating! :lol:

Easy to notice this in game even with that inbuilt hanger model viewer, stuff vanishing or appearing out of nowhere at like the last frame of the transformation animation. Not really noticeable in gameplay so eh.

I was browsing youtube and came across a video on ripping models with Noesis. Anyone try that program on Macross 30 yet? I’m a big fan of that VB-6 Konig Monster. I’m thinking buying that game just so I can rip that model... actually, all the models :D and see if I can upload them in Garry’s mod.

Hi Vashzaron, send me whatever OBJ you fancy, I will give it a try in order to assemble the parts.

I think it's worth a try. send me a private and I will give you my hotmail address.

Regards

Chthonic, I can't believe how selfish and childish you are. XR79 only asked for help and here you are... braging and playing king of the hill???

I really wish xr79 will finaly get the data he needs in order to SHARE the models to whoever is a macross fan. Not like you, who for some childish reason feels like only you or your friends here deserve to have the models.

Grow up man. I'm so disapointed to see this kind of behaviour in a site where we all share the same likes

Who the "Smurf" are you to critique what I CAN and CAN NOT do? I've paid MONEY to have a lot of commissions done which you probably can't afford and I have the skills to do what I can by coding or modelling whatever I like. If I can't do something I ask and DON'T disrespect anyone which has been done to me. If for some reason you feel you want to make this personal I'll be more than happy to oblige you.

Trust me, his sharing has a very short time limit. I shared some capital ship models not long ago and when he got a new batch of Valk models of his own, all of a sudden he had some nebulous "copyright" concern and could no longer share.

I see no benefit in exchanging anymore models with him... <_<

Dude, I haven't heard from you in months....You didn't ask.

again, a child playing kill of the hill. GET LOST MAN,

Forget about me.

Look, I'm going to put this simply for you to understand. You are no one, nobody is better than others, and reading the bullshit you did with someone only asking for resources or help really pissed me off.

You have no skills modeling, only ripping games. More over you have not the rights of any Macross franchise. What you could do for starters is apologize for being such a dick head instead of believing that you are someone important.

Once again, get lost

Sincerely yours, someone who gives a crap about you :)

I also came to this thread while on a search for Macross 3d. I've found a number of Macross things on Cults3d.com most of which people want some money for, BUT there is one very nice guy offering all his Macross models for free (and he has some very nice things)!

https://cults3d.com/en/users/MiniValks/creations You will have to register to download but that's free too, To find the rest of the Macross stuff just do a search for Macross.

Another free 3d model by the same kind gentleman that posted all the other free models I mentioned in the above thread.

This time he's given us Battle 7.

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/macross-battle-7-1-4000-scale

Thanks a bunch for alerting me to these, I'd seen the renders, but I didn't know until I saw this that he'd made them available for free! After looking around a bit further, it looks like he's planning on releasing Battle 5 (the Zentraedi-style version) and Macross 13 (the "evil" version from VF-X2) as well, possibly in time for halloween (according to his Facebook). 

I'm just hoping that when he's done with the SDFs he has some time over for their escorts....

These are the MiniValk models, painted up in a 3D software suite because 3D prints are expensive and real life does not come with glowy paints or a ctrl-z button. Also, it lets me paint two models for the time invested in just one, as I can make palette swaps really easily. It's kind of amazing what just swapping to the more modern Frontier-ish color palette does to make the two very 80s or 90s hero unit-looking ships turn into credible warships, even without a single addition to the models.

Didn't think this deserved its own thread since I'm using someone else's models as my base, but wanted to share this and get feedback from anyone who is interested.

Always loved the NUNS VF-171s from Frontier, really a unique and good looking paint scheme.  Since the VF-25 was on track to become the mainstay fighter for the Frontier fleet, thought I'd give a try at coming up with a Frontier NUNS livery for it.  This is my first try at it.  I think I may have overdone it on the black highlights, but am still messing with it.  Let me know any thoughts, suggestions, etc.  Thanks!

Project update:

Cleaned up the design a bit (though I still think I'm overusing the black) and adapted some of the stuff I found in the Macross 30 archive to make a Battroid version using the same maps.  I'm liking it so far, but more fiddling to come.  Any thoughts, suggestions, or feedback would be welcome.

Another update:  color corrections to bring it closer to the screen appearance of the VF-171 in Frontier and added a Gerwalk mode to the scene.  Panel lines and detailing are next.  Don't know if it's any good or not, but it's looking like my intent when I started out at least.  I'll take the win.

Finished the CF version of the 25 and am pretty happy how it turned out.  And now that I have a template, churning out variants is pretty easy.  So, here is the finished model along with an Alto original, an MWW version (because I like the scheme), and a fire valkyrie version (because why the hell not).  I'm sure I'll be messing with others as ideas strike, but in the meanwhile hope folks like these.  Again, any feedback, comments, etc. are welcome.  I'm gonna go play with my fleet of 25Fs and see if I can figure out rendering in Blender.

Nice!

Are you able to use the other heads? The VF-25A is the canonical CF and I think it shares its head design with the 25G.  It would be as CF as can be if you can get that one there.

If you could work with the 25S head, then you can create the mythical Klan's red unit too. Even without the head, Klan's livery is so mythical, it deserves a depiction lol.

Thanks, and shouldn't be too hard to craft the other head for a 25A version of the CF.  Are there any references for the Klan 25G?  I can use my imagination, but if there's anything "official", I'd like to start with that.

Here we are.  Quick, cobbled together 25A head from stuff I found on the internet.  Not fully satisfied with the paint design, will probably play with that some more, but don't let anyone say I'm not responsive.  😉  Will take a stab at a Klan design when I get some time, but any references/suggestions people have would be appreicated.

Wow, I wasn't expecting something cooked up so fast. Not sure what's bugging you, but I'm guessing it's because the white pattern looks very moth antenna like, and is too intricate for that small area. W/e you end up with though, will probably look good since the colors just work.

Did some digging on Klan's unit. Apparently it cameoed in two games and images are scarce.

battroid image from Triangle Frontier, and depicted in the Master File book or something

fighter from Trial Frontier

It was apparently in the blind box 1/250 figure set, Macross Fighter Collection 4, as a secret item. Michael's unit there might help with color correction. It seems the toy is more purple and the shade changes based on lighting lol.

There aren't a lot of clear images, and some are custom kits built on the 1/72 VF-25G, which isn't quite right. Speaking of which, it seems Klan's VF-25G in a different scheme is semi canon as well lol. I'll just seperate it to another post.

Here's Klan's vf-25Gu. Made for a magazine. It seems to be the most distinct iteration of multiple similar variations.

This seems to have the 25G head, modified to have an ear antenna laser on each side in addition to the default top one. Ignoring the armor pack, its in the colors of Klan's bodysuit, with the Pixie Squad emblem.

There is a very similar livery seen in the previously mentioned Trial frontier game. But it's slapped on to a 25S unit along with her red unit. Michael's unit here just for color and nose pattern contrast. I don't think the emblem is pixie squad here. It might be her own picture from the Deculture edition of Michaels unit.

Here's the Deculture Edition. You can see its 25G, with Klan's picture. It's in Michael's blue, but it's got the pink.

image.jpeg.32d607448c56e36b3bc19fb2baebd2d5.jpeg

As you can see, she has a confusing mess of similar looking schemes. imo, the very purple Gu looks the best. Not sure you can do the head with just these images for reference though. I found a couple murkier photos, but I don't wan to spam more images here. You could do any iteration of this thing though.

 

Bonus: Here's the first teased depiction of the VF-25, which was the 25S in white and blue. Doodle has single ear lasers on each side, but screencap seems to have them in pairs like the final version. Have fun 😀

Wow, that's wild, I've never seen either of those before, thanks for sharing!  The Trial Frontier version is simple enough and I can probably repaint that pretty quickly if I can make a 25S head to go with it.  The 25Gu is something else, I'm still having trouble parsing out what I'm seeing on the head unit, but I think I've got an idea of the shape.  Colors are again pretty straightforward and shouldn't be too tough to match.  About out of time today, but will take a stab when I get a chance.  

Also, appreciate the feedback on the 25A.  I think I agree, the white is too feathery and should just be a bold line.  That would be more in keeping with the 171 scheme as well.  Should keep me busy for a bit.  😉  Thanks!

I think I figured out what the Gu head is. It's just an F head split down the middle with the center removed, through the visor and all, with a G head sandwiched back inside. Then the bottom front filled back in with the lower jaw piece. IDK about 3D modelling, but I imagine it might actually be simpler than the S head to make since you already have the F and G done.

Speaking of which, I forgot to include this from my digging yesterday. More for you to play with.

image.jpeg.32ca8d9c909ecf935e156ab50c5cb7c3.jpeg

Full gang's heads, including prophecy, and then some unused alternate ones.

From what I can tell, C head is just G, with top fins on each side, and the cheek nozzles replaced also with full fins. C-II Seems to go back and remove the top fins but keeps the cheeck fins.

E looks like what the Gu tried to accomplish, but with an inverted approach. It looks like the top of the C head with the fins, and the lower front lense, slapped on top of the F.

Hope it helps. Have fun 😃

Interesting, and yeah, I think I see it now on the Gu head.  Wierd.  I've seen the Master File page of heads before, but good to have it as a reference, thank you!  Messed around a bit on the weekend, and here's a very minor update of the CF 25A where I just took your advice and simplified the white striping.  Feels like I could do more with it, but might be a good time to quit while I'm ahead.  Oh, and here's Klan, too!  😉
