Grand Space Opera 3D Entry: Roger Cotton

Kragh, yes, I know Jim. He’s a cocky lil bastard who’s too damned good for his own sake. :wink: For as long as I’ve known him, he has had a talent for creating great ships and space scenes. I’ll look at your thread now.

Wes, I’m glad to know something I taught was useful. I’d like to see your work sometime.

I think I will be going with the Renaissance style costuming. I’m modifying the costume concept today.


#37

I started working on fleshing out the particle beam projectors, and adding curvature to the support struts.

The final version will have texture mapping of small panels and hatches, etc. But, I will be modeling most of the details as I go along.


#38

Here’s a full view of the starship with additional detailing to the particle beam projectors.


#39

Here’s a close up view of the particle beam projector. I will add more detailing to certain areas, but it’s pretty much done. I will add textures later to complete it.


#40

Nice Detail…Reminds me of the Retro feel that “Tomorrowland” has here at Walt Disney World (Which I’m a big fan of that style). Great work can’t wait to see it textured.

I’ve been modeling details to the middle and back side of the ship. Next, I will concentrate on fleshing out the bridge. I’m thinking of making the top back half of the bridge tererrium-style area.


#42

Great progress on the ship. Seems bigger in size by every new picture of it. I love your power source(enclosed micro star), even though it´s wip. There´s some cartoon style in the design, especially the lasers:). Great work

Keep going


#43

hey that ship is really looking good!.. very interesting… :thumbsup: kee it up man…


#44

Thanks, guys. I’m glad to hear you think it’s interesting. I may change the scaling of the weaponry to make it look less cartoony. I’m working on the fuselage and bridge areas now.


#45

HA! classic looking Ship Rodge I love it. :smiley:


#46

That looks great! I would like to see a turn around of it if is possible but I am guessing you must be busy creating stuff. keep up the good work.


#47

I remodeled the crusier to give it more of a “cosmic look” like in some of the old Marvel comic books.

This is only the first half of the ship, without the microstar containment bubble inside the ring.

I will be adding additional nurnies to the hull, especially around the bridge.


#48

As I said, the bridge area still needs work as far as modeling detailing is concerned.


#49

The side view…

Rear view of front half of ship…


#51

Hi!
Nice progress Roger, I`ll keep an eye on your thread and wait for the textures part :smiley:

Good work :thumbsup:


#52

Thanks, Maciej. I will be modeling the new backend of the ship today. By the way, the organic-looking buildings in your project are really interesting.


#53

This is the entire vessel, sans needed nurnies. When I have have a few hours, I’ll add circular shapes, conduit tubes, antennae, etc., to break up the symmetrical surfaces of the bridge, etc.

After that, I’ll begin the process of texturing.


#54

Here’s the latest side view…


#55

great ship designs. I love the progress you are making. Modeling looks solid. Keep it up!
