here is a quick model of the earthlink
structure

im not really satisfied with this and
im gona make it alot more detailed

#21

Hey,

I like your conecpt and illustrations. I was wondering however, where conflict is? It seems like they’ve got a bridge built and all is well? Sorry if I missed something. Good luck

#22

o ya ur right

i todly forgot

its the conflict of survival
against nature.

against the low resrouces on earth…
surpopuation
polution…
almost no more animals.

this is the only hope to suck the planets ressources for use of helping the people of earth.
although so far in the futur they still havent habited other planets, its not a probleme of time, ,power either, more of because of the problems on earth
the nations dont want to make new technologies for living on other planets cause it will take to long and should be concetrating on building space cities…

#23

This is a great original concept. I look forward to your progress.

#24

another concept for the earthlink
structure

ill post the concept sketch next

but i dont know if im going to use this 1

im still not satisfied with it

#25

here is the new planet that i edited in photoshop

on the right is the old 3ds max bump system
on the right is 3ds max 7s new bump sysetem with mental ray

its really amazing it comes with more options and gives better results than the old usual thing

Hey, thanks for writing the story. It should work pretty well. Some ideas; since the earth is in a state of global environmental chaos, it should looks grey, dirty, hot, cold…something not “Green” and maybe the overall scene can be desaturated, kind of like looking a something covered with a lot of dust and so forth. good luck

#27

i changed the floating city concept
i like this 1 better…

#28

ya ur right

iv ben thinking of that 2

ill do some adjusting in photoshop next
thanks for the idea’s tho

#29

poluted planet
i turned everything real dark to make it look like pollution
the water isnt blue anymore…

#30

Dude, this is a really cool concept!

That latest planet looks really nice. I definitely get the feeling of pollution. I also like your latest concept for the Earth link. I look forward to seeing this one progress.

Keep em coming!

#31

here is a new ship
i call it
a floating world ship cause in the parts where the glass are, there will be cities
the big reactorthing is a engine that uses the cities pollution and wasted power to function

so the city it’s self is very clean…

#32

flying world ship is almost done

got to work on the glass textures and the hull texture

#33

quick texture on the model
just to get an idea

im gona have to find a good way to model the cities builidings…

#34

a render of the floating world ship with a little more stuff on
the reactor

comments??..

#35

common guys!!??

#36

cool, add some details to the hull though. I am sure you can make this baby plus belle.

#37

ya

i got to work on those textures…

moddeling the earthlink structure now(making a new designe…)

ill post when dont

#38

here is the claw that will hold the planet

the claw is held by a gravity ball that holds the claws together and can move them.IT also link attaches it to the structure…

#39

the main structure is starting to appear…
