Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Mike Giannakopoulos

Thanks everyone!

Versiden, thanks for your kind words mate! Actually naming came quite natural…had to think something not so warish for the defensive fleet and this baby’s wings were opening and closing…like a “butterfly” On the texturing part I’ll try not to exaggerate the butterfly feeling…

Lelantos euxaristw!

||) |V| |^| , thanks mate! Unfortunatelly nothing new this day from my side…I’ve been straggling…errrr “heavy tweaking” with the Council Member (…have to find a name!!) …and no news yet…so currently I’m doing some building texturing…hopefully is two days the most I’ll have a building textured here for C&C …

Hammerch, thanks man! Actually I’m thinking of having some three of them in the lift of flapping phases near the cam and a few more in the distance attacking the “Hive”…thanks again for your encouragement!

See you soon…

Nice bomber, i knew butterflies were dangerous. Can’t wait to see what texure you’ll give it. And I thought Council Member Bob was perfect for a name.

[rattlesnake]

hey…the bomber look nice…the design is very nice too…well done…looking forward for textures on it:)

[Virtuoso]

Butterfly bomber…Will the wings have such a beautiful color tone that all the beings being attacked be hypnotized,and not able to move until the Butterfly vessel blows them up. …I look for those textures,I hope they come out as well as your last ones Mike.:arteest:

[terraarc]

ace4016, thanks for the support man! Currently Bob is resting under the wrecked Sparrow of Dim! But stay alert he’ll resurrect soon! :twisted:

rattlesnake, thanks for encouragement mate!

Virtuoso, thanks! About your idea…well…eeerrr…I never thought of it that way but it’ll be a nice twist!! Unless some Vulture ship gets quickly over it and “bites” hard!! LOL! Thanks for constant support and extra boost! (Last night I hitted a 5 AM…I’m learning…)

Currently working on a building texture which hopefully will be up later today or early tomorrow…

Thanks again CG-fellows!!:bounce:

Hi there! Very nice model. And nice way of presenting it. My only crit is the scale. For me it should be bigger in comparsion with the human. It’s a bomber, so it should have some space for bombs, missles, sometimes for transporting troops, vehicles, etc.

[terraarc]

Thanks arturro!

Don’t know why but I think it’s scale is fine. I didnt’ initially thought of it as means of transportation troops or vehs, and the bombs I had in mind where mainly plasma bombs (placed in the middle two front lines of guns) which will fire directly to the enemy with a great rate (like a chaingun)…:shrug:…I’ll think over it and feed you with some updates…

Thanks again for C&C!! :bounce: :bounce:

[OZ1]

Keep it up!! great work!the rebel fleet is rocking cool!!!I LOVE IT!!!
I see a lot of good stuff here!! Both modeling and rendering.

[system]

Keep up the hard work, everything is looking awesome!

[Lemog]

hmmm… I forget to said you that your Butterfly Bomber is great man… I’m waiting the textures now :twisted:

[terraarc]

OK,OK here is some texturework on Grande Building _01. I’m spending some time on this building developing the textures. Here are some major parts textured. On this building I work only procedurals so that I’ll use same textures and parts to other buildings too. Of course some parts need extra attention and love (like the docks on the top, and some platforms). The details shown are at final resolution. C&C really appreciated!

[arturro]

Bravo! The level of details here is killing me:bounce: amazing, really amazing! When I look on such constructions, I hate this feeling which came appears… the reason is that then I now that I have to remodel my city, because it looks funny in compersion with this:)

Great! Waiting for more

[terraarc]

OZ, Hammerch and Lemog thanks! Really appreciate your support and encouragement!

“Some words from the bride…” (INTRO from KILL BILL Vol. 2 Soundtrack)

As you see I’ve started developing the building’s textures. The above image is my current standing, of course some compression problems are present but most of it is accurate. I would really appreciate your comments on the way I’m heading!!

Thanks again! :wavey:

[terraarc]

arturro, you caught me! Thanks for your kind words mate!

Man I feel exactly the same when I’m looking at your wonderful composition-lighting-texturing terrain and atmosphere!

[rattlesnake]

[ace4016]

I liek the way your going wiht your yexturiong on the building, looks great. I’d conintue doing what you are doing with the textures for the building, looks appealing to me.

[Aethyrprime]

Very nice texturing update. Wow, I really love the intense amount of textures you have goingo on here. Keep up the good work.

[terraarc]

rattlesnake, ace4016, ||) |V| |^| thanks for supportive comments!!

[keetmun]

Man that’s a sick level of detail you got there! I especially like the part where the fighter ships(I presume) come out of. Just waiting for it all to come together.

Cheers!
