Automated Spaceship Design

[TJohns]

Need an idea for your next interplanetary super ship? Just stumbled across this site: (needs WebGL support in browser)

http://ship.shapewright.com/

Results can be saved as a VRML file (any converters around, haven't looked yet), and you can even get them 3D-printed & shipped to you!

Interestingly, if you DO enter a name for your ship, this gets used as the seed for it's internal random generator, so a given ship name always seem to generate the same model.

3d studio max supports vrml import.

Here is random ship with random "space texture"

I have something like that planed as a follow-up on IMS, but it'll be a more involved. Give that IMS is WYSIWYG I'll have to teach the computer to actually design a ship, not just put random parts together... :lol:

I'm not planning any massive sci-fi ship currently so that's no use to me. Also I prefer total control over design process. Still interesting concept and possibly "overall shape idea generator"

Blender can import vrmls. Renders may be coming soon...
