Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Alan Baars

#19

Hadn’t had a lot of time to work on this during the week, hope to finish the transport tonight.
here’s where I’m at so far.

#20

going to have to remove more windows looks a little too dense, more time later today…

p.s. carefull of the spiders in Wisconsin, got bit by one five weeks ago, doctor’s stumped. no spidey strength yet just lots of little bumps (ugh!).

#21

Yeah, definitely too many windows. I like very much the amount and placement of the windows from your concept sketch. I would stick to that. Maybe add a little bit more, but not too many.
good luck:thumbsup:
I’ll be back:twisted:

#22

removed a few windows, but still not there yet, I thought the look was worth posting though…

#23

Hi there Baars!
Nice model You have here, loads of polys and great detail, quite original :thumbsup:

#24

Starting the escort ships, wanted designs that would be simple, like the planet carrier, yet be visually interesting. Here’s the quick sketch of a heavy cruiser.

#26

Here’s a second ship concept, a carrier…

#27

Here’s where I’m at with the heavy cruiser, still a bit to go on this. Want to add a third smaller ship to fill out the cap ships, still working out the design sketch.

#28

Another view of the cruiser, probably won’t do to much more detail to the back of this, since this view won’t be visible in the still.

Thinking of doing an animation based on the still though (after the challenge) so I’ll finish the back later.

#29

think I’m done with this one unless anyone has crits of anything obvious I’ve missed.

starting the carrier…

thanks to all to those who’ve wrote in with crits and comments.

gotta run,
Al

#30

so far not bad, though think this will get modified somewhat as it progresses.

#31

Hi Alan,

Really like your ships. Very strong identity and deign.

Looking good so far and keep it up.

JA

#32

Nice work. Your lattice looks very well formulated, and has a crisp design embrazend into its surface. Keep it up!:thumbsup:

#33

Thing this one’s just about done, a few details to go. Was thinking of a prehistoric mollusk while adding details, this helped finalise the shape…

#34

another angle…

#35

Interesting concept, and nice modelling on the ships. Looking forward to seeing this come together. :thumbsup:

#36

Just have to add windows for this beasie then its done, except for textures, lighting…so much to still do so little time…

#37

last one for today

#38

At this point it doesn’t look like I’ll be allowed to finish this in time for the contest, too many outside events draining time from this (one major thing after another). If I’m able, I will try to submit in time, but I doubt it.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and critiques.

good luck all,
Al
