Hi Torsten,

nice concept, really original, and the beginning of the modeling is really cool!
My only crits about the worker, just for me but it seems that the hand are a little too small… i dunno… anyway good luck for challenge!!

Peace!

Robby: Thank you very much. Looking forward to see your entry.

Mark: Thanks, buddy.

Simone: Thanks for your comment. I will take a look at his hands once more.

Fernando: Thank you very much. Nice to see you here my friend. :beer:

Unfortunately I am running out of time. I don’t have any time during the week to work on my entry and only a few hours during weekend. So I won’t be able to finish my entry in the way I had it in mind when it all begins. But I will definitely submit a “final” version and I really hope it will be sufficient for getting me this non commercial XSI licence.
I will keep on working on this image but first I want to finish I project I put on hold for this challenge.

Thanks again for your support.

Here’s a textured version of the glider. I Won’t be able to a more realistic one, maybe I can improve it later in Photoshop a bit.

Wow! That looks fantastic. Excellent work! No crits from me - it looks totally believable

#46

Hey Torsten, really ompresive my friend, you have a incredible touch for machine designs, wooooow and that is superb!! LOve the lighting on it, great!! Maybe some scratches and rusted and dirty material textures on it, but is a minor detail :smiley: Again, awesome design and render my friend!! Cheers !! :beer:

#47

Mark: Once more. Thank you very much. When ever I will come to Australia I owe you a beer or two. :beer:

Fernando: Thanks man. Same to you. Mexico is on our travelling list. :scream:
I have to add Scratches, rust etc. later in PS when time will allow so. I don’t have the time to do a proper UV layout right now.

Here is the construction desk with some textures. This is at 50% resolution. The glider was at 100% (when you click on the image).

I like all the details you are putting into it. Looks really well constructed! Well done! Looking forward to see another upadte with everything together

#50

Michael: Thanks a lot man. I am still waiting for your models to show up.

Torsten

#51

Here’s a WIP of the transporter. The light is a little bright. But I don’t have time to waste with re-render :D.

Again, this is at 50% of the final resolution.

Hi Torsten, your transporter is fantastic, good work!!

#53

I remember when I was young and the first Star Wars movie was released. And I sat in my cinema chair and loved seeing the amazing spaceships and machinery and technology from another time/place. That’s pretty much how I feel when I see your updates. I love the new stuff - it’s imaginative but also believable. It is as logical as it is fresh and beautiful. You do it really well. Definitely no crits from me

#55

Robby: Thank you very much. Nice to see you finished your first challenge here on CGTalk. Hope to see you in the next one as well.

Fernando: Thanks buddy. Hurry up with you entry. I want to see it final.

Mark: That’s exactly how I felt when I saw the first Star Wars movies too. And I am really glad you feel so, looking at my images. Now please someone tell G.L. to hire me. :smiley:

FANTASTIC VEHICLE DESIGN M8!!:cool:

Shortly after first contact Jason and Kiatube teamed up to realize the idea of opening a bar at the new space port. With the combined power of their two construction companies it didn’t take long till the bar starts to take shape.

#58

Fabio: Thank you very much.

So finally my machine finished the rendering process. Just in time. I was getting a little bit nervous.
I had to use a really bad compression to get the image into the 150 KB limit. So here is a lager version (50% of final resolution) with a better compression:

Final Image (849 KB).

Once again thank you very much for all your support and encouraging words. It was again a great experience and I am looking forward to see you all in the next challenge.

Cheers,

Torsten

Nice image! I like the gliders, they have a very nice design. Glad you could finish it in time!

nice idea i like the way you have the human technoligy (computer) next to the alien technology (hologram) that is a very nice touch.
