Hey Noel, glad to see you’re in too. Can’t wait to see what you will come up with. Keep in mind that your vehicle got to be shiny and sexy though. I know mine isn’t sexy, maybe you can check out my thread somewhere in the list of entries…Get some concepts up :smiley:

#3

Thanks Wybl :slight_smile:

Alright, I’ve finally got a concept. First off, I have yet to take drawing classes, not even to mention industrial drawing etc… well this is my concept. It’s more colorful then a lot of the pieces I guess, so I’ll work more on the shine (i.e. making the hull out of both metal and wood like kinda seen on the concept). The wind energy “fans” will also be a lot cleaner / smoother to fit more into the shiny/sexy…

Thanks for any feedback/crit in advance :slight_smile:

#4

Slowly started with the base (800 polies atm, 5200 to go :slight_smile: )…

#5

dont forget my friend -> 6000 tris … not polys
nice concept :slight_smile:

#6

Got used to saying polys even for tris, so the tri-count atm is 800 :slight_smile:

Thanks for the feedback

Loving the design, very unique. How are you going to do the fans? Model or alpha? I think the hull needs to be more metal to keep with the sexy futuristicity.

#8

Thanks Chris, fans will probably be modeled, it’s a focus on my piece and hence I’d like to be able to really make it stick out through it’s own curves. The hull will transition from wood to metal to represent past & future, just as the sails will from front to back (wind, electric wind energy & solar energy). This way I’ll also really be able to go all out on texturing. Super & Sexy, hopefully. The shine, I will not flood down on this piece but rather select specific parts which will hopefully stand out even more due to their contrasting environment (i.e. textile sail or wooden parts of hull).

Thanks again :slight_smile:

*** Update on shape of sails:

#9

More sails :slight_smile:

#10

Looking awesome.
Concept art is great!
The model also coming along nicely… I don’t know if it was your intention, but I cant help but think that the outline of the boat resembles a fish. Very cool…

Keep up the good work. I am really liking the flow of the model.
 Futuristic, yet it comes out somehow natural (defiantly not forced looking).

Great Job so Far!

PS: New sails look 10,000x’s better!
What is the tri count up to now?

#11

Thanks Daren, appreciated! Count is around 2000 now. The fish idea didn’t come till halfway into the creation of the sails. I had noticed it had a slight resemblance and then decided to pursue it some more to see if it worked out, happy that at least one person spotted it :slight_smile:

Thanks again for the feedback,

Noel

Pfew… using the FFD modifier worked pretty good, just took some tweaking. Update:

Nice lines, somehow sexy too.

Keep it up.
