location: final fantasy inspired airship

[Solesurvivor]

come on people, is it that bad??

or do I have to be like J LO to get some attention? :rolleyes:

[Aaron Moore]

you're a famous pop star!!! Bloody Hell EVERYONE COME ON IN QUICK....

Actually there isn't much to say. I'd make a comment if it were more finished or if you were looking for any specific kind of help.

Just curious, doesn't your class require you to make something of your own? I taught a class, and creativity was an important thing we focused on.

As for comments on your ship. The scale on some of the objects seem a little off... i'd half to wait for more to see where its going.

good luck... btw what school

[Solesurvivor]

yess , i got recognition i'm a pop star, at last ;)

you're right about the scale, i used a dummi character too late in the modelling process, but i'm gonna fix that asap.

Our class just said, make a 3d location, but as we get only 2hours of 3d in a week, they can't except from us to invent something completely new and then model it. I'm in the same class as Joril btw, the last year of Multimedia and Communication Technologies in Belgium, Kortrijk to be specific...

I'm gonna model some more on it , and make sure the proportions are okay, then i'm gonna start texturing...

Thnx for the comments

hey solesurvivor,

nice work on the ship, maybe fatten up the balcony's a bit?
anyway the ship looks great

and now.. you MUST tell me :p in what school you are :) I've been searchin' for college schools who do 3D and I found one.. and they only saw 3D in the 3th year and its only the basic..
So thats prolly a no-go :wip:

I've pm'ed you a couple days ago but you've been ignorin' me :surprised

[Solesurvivor]

oops,sorry for that mate, don't check them on a regular basis, better email me :)

I'm in the same class as Joril btw, the last year of Multimedia and Communication Technologies in Belgium, Kortrijk to be specific...

it's probably the same school you found :) and indeed, it is very very basic... and lot's of other courses that are very very boring, glad it's almost over..

But excactly what balcony's are you talking about, those on the side of the ship?


cheers

[Solesurvivor]

okay, here's the update...

first pic has the middle part a bit inside of the boat, but that's according to reference, 2nd pic i pulled on top of the hull... Which ones better??

Other C&C is also welcome :)

[Renzsu]

I'd love to see some more detail on the sides of the ship hull.. at the moment it's just a flat plane, beside being kinda boring, it also will be hard to get some nice shadowplay on there... why not let it bulge out a bit more (bottom sharp, top bulging, or top straight, bottom bulging... your call.. it's an airship, so whether it'll float is not important ;) )

[Solesurvivor]

hey, thnx for the advice, i'll take it into consideration, but there's a litle part on the centrepart of the ship that i still have to make, and that's gonna hang on the sides , so you'll have a bit more detail then, and maybe i'm gonna put some windows on the sides as well...

thnx for the comment :thumbsup:

[Solesurvivor]

here's another update, been playing with volumetric lights so you can't look inside.... http://users.pandora.be/tcgs/volumetric_klein.jpg

Renzsu , gonna start on the hull detail soon ;)

c&c is , as always, very welcome

[Solesurvivor]

alright, another update on the volumetric ligths :)

[Solesurvivor]

I know the upper volumetric lights are a bit too bright, gonna change that tomorrow

[FerdiWillemse]

Turns out really cool!

[Menge]

nice! isn't it supposed to be a bit wider? the ship deck, i mean (still considering the side towers)

i wanna see it done!!! loved that ship!

[Solesurvivor]

as Joril suggested, here's the side view, front and top :) and a little update,(crown like thingie on top of the middle part)

critics are welcome :)

[EighthDecay]

look quite interesting, I guess since its fantasy it means it shouldn't look functional,, hehe,, never seen the game,, I'm outa the loop on games,, hehe

I like them glowing windows,, is that Volumetric used there?
What software?

keep going looks like its going to be texture madness.

I'm sure getting tired of this overloaded forum...:rolleyes:

[wonder]

really really really cool modeling, i like it a lot!
can not wait for the texture~ keep up good work!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Solesurvivor]

I like them glowing windows,, is that Volumetric used there?

Software is 3dsmax 5, and it's my first attempt at volumetric lighting

as for the texturing, that will also be my first attempt at it, but the lights went pretty well, so with the proper attention to textures should work also

thnx for the comments EighthDecay and wonder:thumbsup:

[Solesurvivor]

ok, here's my first attempt at texturing
