greentek and Lemog thanks for support and comments! I’ll adopt them as soon as I lay my hands on the final composition again…:thumbsup:

Tranchefeux thanks for your kind words

Hey, another cool greek man here…:thumbsup: I like your concept and especially the cool effects of the building:buttrock: Keep it up like thqt. Best wishes…:slight_smile:

#43

Yes… a lot of great stuffs in this building… and I like the design very original of the Stinger… but It seem to don’t have enough polygons…

#44

Great job on that building terraarc, I love the style & design, a true inspiration!
The stinger seems a nice concept as well, but it may need some more detail and definately more polygons, since you seem to try to give it a more “rounded” feel.

#45

Some very nice updates, Mike! I like the design and detail of the building – particularly the use of the hexagonal component, which is a nice touch. I also like the unusal design of the Stinger, but agree with Lemog that the geometry is showing through on the toroids you used. It may be possible to adjust the geometry approximation in your app to avoid the blockiness, as the overall appearance would benefit from some smoothing. Anyway, it’s good to see you’ve made progress!

#46

Looking good so far. I get the feeling of commerce on a galactic level from this art at a glance. Further detail will definantly be worth watching for.

#47

i like your concept and effect.

Saschi0815 (I wonder why 0815!) [size=2]thanks for your support, wishing the best on your try!
Lemog thanks for support and comments. Actually, I was thinking of the Stinger as a small one -person ship that is going to be viewed from quite a distance, comparing to the Building has the size of…actually very small :slight_smile: almost 10 to 20 of them fit in the hexagonal dock. So I tried to keep the polycount low (approximatelly 3000 tris). But I’ll give it some more smoothness on the back mainly…

grafos Euxaristw suntekne! One root from beautiful Crete :thumbsup:. As for the Stinger I think I covered some aspects of my thought, I’ll try to fix that as less poly-compicated as I can.

nuclearman thanks for comments and support! The building is already been pushed further. I hope I can show some progress till the end of the week modelwise and texturewise too.

[/size]tuck Thanks! :slight_smile:

This is “The Hive” spaceship. As it’s name says it is a space - dock. Inside it lie a whole bunch of Stingers and other small sship (to come). As you can see it is quite big. Also can see the size of it in the initial composition sketch. Coming soon with updates on this.

#50

OK,OK done modelling this building. It will be the closest to the view building. Added some docks on the top of the boxy Tower, from which several small defending ship will launch heading to the close Rebel “Hive” as seen in composition.

#51

Just dropping by to say you are doing a fine job here Mike…Really alot of nice work,and I love your attitude towards it.It’s very positive,and I can see this will be a very nice finished piece,you are well on the way with it,keep it up hard,it’s all paying off nicely…:arteest:

#52

hi Mike…
very nice updates! very nice! :thumbsup:

i like both of them… as “the Hive” as well as Building…
looking forward to see texturing… :wink:
cheers mate!

#53

Dose ktiria sto lao…Give us updates…where are u man…i like the buildings u make :thumbsup:

#54

Virtuoso, thanks for your words of encouragement! I am actually hoping to complete this one and to give as much as I can to it, besides all this process is really fun and educational too! :bounce:

Greentek, thanks for droping by! The Hive has a very looong way to the texturing as I’m gonna fill all this empty spaces on it with lots of details! The building’s texture is rather closer, but no intention on going over it now

Dimitris , euxaristw gia thn uposthri3h! (όταν γράφω εδώ σκέφτομαι αγγλικά! η “υποστήριξη” βγήκε πραγματικά με το ζόρι!) [size=2]Thanks for the support! I currently have two more buildings in concepts but they’re not that Grande as this one! Hopefully they’re gonna be that detailed also! :bounce:[/size]

#55

• Hey, nice foot…lol, other than that your models and concept seem cool

#56

hi…your concept is nice…i love your design for the building…as a little advice…i think the side element on your building dont fit the scale of the rest of it…it makes look your building small…(thats in my point of view…so feel free to ignore me)

i like your designs on the ships too and i think youre doing it fine in the modeling…
i wish u good luck for the challenge …:slight_smile:

#57

Awesome building man!! Mpravo kai sigxaritiria! Efxomai oti kalitero! My best wishes for your succeed!

#58

Great buildings and i really like your concept and story

can’t wait to see more :thumbsup:

#59

Very nice updates chief. You do amazing buildings. Nice detail work. Has a very anime or sci-graphic novel esque feel to it, which are some of my faves.:thumbsup:

#60

Climax, Lelantos, ||) |V| |^| really appreciate your comments and encouragement!
rattlesnake thanks and I hope I can figure this proportions problem with some texturing. Watching the building (again) I was kind of hitted with some scale adjustments (basically reducing the depth of the wall surrounding the whole “greebled” and more staff)…

Coming soon (I hope) with updates :wavey:
