an update on the 3d design of the “whale”.
Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Mathias Verhasselt
you could have worked more on your entry, if I didn’t speak so much :rolleyes:
i will call all bastards i know here to stop you even more…
woa! nice helicopter, … ehm, no, … nice plane, … door handle? … wait, did you say Gold Fish? ah yes, nice one! … needs more gold-red though!
, rock on man!
You know, that long fins give the impression of a shape similar to a crossbow ;). Especially in top views.
HAHAHAHAH…don’t make nervous m@ and stops working on this …i really like it and want to see it finished :bounce:
Go on mate keep working with your …errrrrr… model 
Haha I don’t care about those comments… they are part of mr. Anders “ducklover” Ehrenborg’s destabilizing strategy… and thanks 
fellah : if that’s the only way for you to compete here :shrug:
ila_solomon : … thanks?
Lemog : thank you ! I’ll try, I’ll try!
cipher : thanks !
azazel : crossbow, door handle, helicopter… as long as it doesn’t look like a star wars ship I’m glad 
jaba153 : merci !
ok, that comment was just more than I could take. I’ll change strategy and actually work myself.
just bring it on, you wont stand a chance… :wise:
starts to model a banana
Wow, thats what I call an epic space opera. Absolutely fantastic. I will definitely follow this thread. ![]()
Cant wait to see more.

Hi m@,
really nice concept, it’s a shame i didn’t notice your thread before…
It remind me a comic book you may know, “La Caste des Meta-Barons”, in which there is space-whales used as interstellar ships ([french mode…] plutôt des cachalots dans la BD mais je ne connais pas le nom en anglais [off]).
Great concept sketches :buttrock:
well I started working on a lowpoly model of some structures on earth’s surface for my composition sketch when I got carried away around a bit, found myself trying to model using only convex hexagons. Anyway that’s quite an idea of some patterns that will be seen everywherer in my piece. (image done byduplicating the surface and putting a lattice modifier in max, so those lines are the wireframe with a little volume)
fellah : gooood … if those are not only words :rolleyes:
Russel_Nash : thank you 
nataz : thanks… and yes I know, whale’s form go well with space. But as you see I’m little by little drifting away from the whale shape.
Good whale.
But… the yellow stuff of the whales seems “strange”.
…Probably because it is not finished yet.
Good luck!
wow haxagonal modeling, thats very interesting and new to me… kep going buddy cant wait to c more… and can u please tell us more abt ur technique?..thanx ![]()
Just done viewing your pictures and I must say this is the most emotive piece I’ve seen so far. I just get a really beautiful feeling looking at your work. Can’t really explain it. But it’s just beautiful.
Cheers
:buttrock:
That one last thing you’ve posted is incredible… Looks so cool… Man keep it up… make more stuff like it! :applause:
Quite impressing little simple thing! Really breathing out “I’m alive!Alive!” :applause:
Impressing texture! Maybe a little glow will pure some more life to it:)
