wow nice environment design buddy
i like your first vehicle concept … i’d play around a bit more with the second one, though… the bottom part I assume is the engine, right now it seems to be overbalancing the whole

but looking sweet compared to my still scribbling my ideas on paper :slight_smile:

also i’d be interested to know the story behind your idea…like what the civilization is like…why are they building that particular edifice on water…what’s the driving force behind the picture etc…

Thank you guys for your opinions!!

I think that you’re right, the second ship needs to be tweaked. The problem, in my opinion it’s not the motor part in propotion to the body, but the juction between them.

As for the story behinde all my idea, forgive me for not have posted that, because to be honest…i forgot heh heh!! So here it is:

This is a colonie that were built by a man, the mastermind of a project called UTOPIA, that was a part of a emergency plan for a planet called Valk, that was having real problems with polution.
No ones wanted to take part in the construction of UTOPIA, becasue it was a too risky plan. It was to expansive and the target planet for it was too dry to construct a city and others behinde it.
This man, Orn Gara, had to arranje support between the rich people, to find money to support it’s construction, and between the operary class, to obtain the right force for buit it.
Well his plan started with no government support, and he moved to the Nospyt planet to start the construction.
UTOPIA was finaly built, he was preparing the a big party to celebrate the realization of dream, he even would invite all the gorvenment guys that didn’t support his idea, to demonstrate that it works and another colonies could be built, to save the Valk people from beeing extinct.
while Orn was making the preparations, Valk starts to get its temperature higher until it exploded and all the people in there died!!
So UTOPIA is the Valk people last redut and the genesis of a new civilization that embraces The Nature as it should be.

That is why, UTOPIA is a city that is in a desert but it’s starting to bring life to it among with water.
I hope you liked the story behind my concept!!

Yeah! And probably give a good screenplay. Congats!


#64

Bummer, the cops always get the good stuff. The details are lookin good on the bridges, those that are there. Liking the concept so far.

We Want Modeling Of The Ships ! :slight_smile:


#69

I’m starting with the second ship. It is a Hunter Class, used by the Law and Order force.
More uploads soon!!


#70

I’m changing the ship design along with the modeling. I was not liking the body. Now i’m liking the body but not the turbine part. I’ll change that too!!


#71

Unique design for the ship.

Have you given any consideration for the people of this stragne world near the sea? What kind of clothes they wear, what do their house look like.

Since this is a seaside image, are you considering including such details as the dark shadows from schools of fish near the water surface, or coral reefs, or indeginous animals to living the scene up?

The highspeed craft looks intersting, but I notice that it has no weapons… what function does this ship play in this universe??

Keep up the good work.


#72

Still designing…


#73

Another view!!

The general shape, i guess it is ready.
I think i’ll add some details and this ship is ready for texturing.

What do you think guys?

Thanks for your opinion! I’m glad you’re liking it.
Since my final goal is a far view from the city, i’ll not model any people. The people will reduced to tiny points to show the scale of this complex.

This ship is used by the Law & Order force, is like our police force. What they do mostly is to catch speedy guys inside UTOPIA limits. This is not an army force, which i’ll not represent here.

Good idea aboute the dark shadows from schools of fish near the water surface, i never thought of that. I’ll not represent any reefs of coral or stuff like that, because this city is very young and the impact that is having on nature is very soft by this time, and coral takes decades to form!!


#75

well this looks like it’s going to be cool!


#76

Hi,

Good start on your project. I like everything your doing but had just one question. What is the main theme of your piece? (Sorry if I missed it in the posting) Is there a conflict? Anyway, Good luck and looking forward to seeing more man.


#77

Wow, this is great stuff. I like the work you have done with the terrain (one of my favorite things to model) and the bridges. The bridges immediately bring the whole thing into scale. I like the ships as well. SInce I am a new Maya user your pics as you are modeling are inspiring, so thank you! I look forward to your progress.

By the way, I love your tagline!

God bless!
