Ok, this position is open again!

reason- we lost our current modeler working on this.

To assist the last person I built a base mesh to be used as a guide for shape size etc. so you can have that to look at as a ref.

I need this done in the next couple months.
You should be ready to post regular WIP updates.

There's a small fee available. You will get to work with a great team and also have pro level textured render to add to your portfolio.
*check work at www.softdistortion.com for ex of quality.
*If you are not serious, dedicated and professional please do not apply.

Live action/CG= shots will be based on a snow planet environment.

Script Synopsis- Main character crash lands and fights to survive the elements and wildlife on this planet.

Goal - produce a few cool shots for a film teaser length clip.

hello, it's time to start sharing some work in progress for the VFX2 escape pod!

the following images are some loose and simple ideas for the nose and hatch of the pod. just to get an idea of where i'm going and what i think works.

the rear section (faceted geometry) is part of a template provided by softdistortion to give basic info. on size and shape needed for the model. i've attached the placeholders of my work to the model just to make sure it's headed in the right direction.

for those interested here's the complete pod model i'm working from:

any c&c is welcome.

This last weekend we pretty well nailed the finalizing of a mod on the original pod ref mesh.

Want to say Gonkdroid (Tobin) is a pleasure to work with as a team mate and he's doing an amazing job adding his touch to the models...so glad we found him. :bounce:

Tobin is also working on his take of a more sleek version of the pod, so we have 2 cool meshes in the making.

As if that's not amazing enough, he's also contributed an UBER KOOL ship mesh for VFX3!
