Title: Heavy Corvette Starship
Name: Cristian Ciocotisan
Country: Romania
Software: 3ds max, BodyPaint, Photoshop

The Altaran Military Heavy Corvette

This is a starship for a future animation project, modelled in 3dsmax and textured with Photoshop and Bodypaint.

I will be making more starship classes, like fighters and capital ships, in the following weeks. I hope you like it and I await your comments.

wow... that is so cool! I love the design! mevy muscular and powerful looking!
I see the lighting is wrong.. it isnt so bright in space... you dont have a proper sun in your scene...
But the spacecraft is the main point here so it isnt such a bad thing.. ;)

i dont think that there is anything wrong with the lighting, and how do you know that there is not a sun nearby since the light is coming from behind the camera. Thats a great looking ship good job

Dekus: Thanks! I used a lighting that would show off the modelling and details of the ship, and I used that background to show that it's a space craft. A single light source from one side would have been less efficient because you couldn't see too much of what's going on on the ship. Let's imagine there's a sun behind the camera. :)

dannybear: Thank you, I'm glad you like the ship.

That is a great looking ship. I love the texture and the old beat up look. You do not see many banged up space ships, Most look too clean. This gives it a more real working feel. I would love to see the other you do.

Thanks edcorusa. I did in fact add corrossion to the paint and a dirt layer over the main hull texture, to make it show that the ship isn't fresh out of the factory.

I love it!
Any chance of a wallpaper sized render?

The ship feels so massive when it's slightly brused up.

Nice! thank you.
I like how the yellow paint is smeard due to the heat from laser/blaster fire.

You're welcome.

Yeah, I tried to smear the paint here and there, from taking fire and from ship motion.
