Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Michael Wilson


#101

Well, here is a new design for the ship. I’d like your input on it as well.

The whole idea behind the original fin in the first place was I did in fact picture the ship traveling through an atmosphere. Upon reaching a new home world, they would land on the planet to disembark. Well, scratch all that now. How’s this new design?

Thanks

Black hole (and its event horizon festivities): very nice!
Planet (undergoing a nervous breakdown): very nice!

Galactic civilization?


#103

An early composition and lighting test. I can see a number of things I want to change.


#104

:wip: wow looks really promising and the quick test is really amazing… probably more contrats are needed, but still a wip. yeah the space ships looks really better now…

:thumbsup:

Your doing some fine work/art here Michael…keep it up,I think the direction and idea are real good,and your reaching the potential of your plan thus far…Nice going…:arteest:


#106

WOW! Great looking so far! You’ve got some real world macro-phusics action got there! And the ship looks pretty slick and enormous too!:thumbsup:


#107

Great work so far. The idea is really strong.

How are you going to show the atmosphere of the planet? Would it still be visible under such conditions? I really like what you’ve done with the breakup of the planet and the core. Maybe you could use the atmosphere to give a sense of suction by placing cloud like swirls around the planet and being sucked into the force of the black hole.

Excellent visuals. Good luck.


#108

Yes, something like that. :smiley:


#109

Ship size: now I am feeling it! - yeah - that looks a lot bigger - has ‘some’ similarity to the Mon Calamari cruisers in ROTJ with it’s organic lines and rounded extrusions, but not overly so!

Love the colour visual - great to see these 2 strong elements composed together! :smiley: :beer:


#110

It’s surely coming along nicely, Michael :thumbsup:

Don’t know how close this will be to your final compo, but I feel that it might benefit from a slight rearrangement… like moving the shredded planet closer to the camera, and sort of introduce a deeper sense of perspective by having the actual black hole “further away”… to introduce a strong diagonal leading into the picture and the black hole… sorta… hope you’re following what I’m trying to say :smiley:

@ JamesMK & Jddog - Thanks for the input. I’m still working on the composition.

@ Kromekat - Mon Calamari hu? I’ll have to watch it again.

@ Virtuoso - Thanks for dropping by. Love you work! :buttrock:


#112

You have done great visuals for the planet and for the black hole :thumbsup:
but sorry the ship looks not nice for me… in my opinion its too classical :sad: ... Im sure you can find some more original design :bounce: something more devlopped… just thinking loud… maybe with some small ships around or docked… some ships could not make it and some will return safe to the cargo…


#113

Excellent use of colors in that scene!


#114

whoah mamma,
I would hate to be on that planet.
Great imagery. I like the vibrant colors.


#115

I’ve done a little experimenting, and this is what I’ve come up with for the escaping Dust / Atmosphere trail coming off the planet. Will probably need some additional tweeking once I see how it renders with the planet.


#116

An update to the composition.


#117

Hi, I really like the breaking up effect of your planet and was attracted by the colours!! :thumbsup: Claireabella


#118

Nice Michael…This is a nice new updated compo…beautiful colors and major epic event all in one,nice show!:thumbsup:


#119

Absolutely great image :thumbsup:

Will you add some effects of “fluids” to the lava core? That shoud looking great with some floating lava in the space, no?

Nice work :bounce:


#120

Shaping up very nicely now :thumbsup:

Are you planning to add some detail to the undamaged left side of the planet? I think it would look very neat with something on the surface there :lightbulb
