Been busy with RL stuff and have only got my computer working again after many months. Thought I would start a new mini project to familiarize myself with SU again and my workflow.
Inspired by one of the vehicles in crysis video game, here it is so far. Using SU for PC now instead of MAC so things are moving slower as all the keyboard shortcuts are different need to get used to these new ones!

Hi Liam welcome back i missed your fantastic work....hope you get up to speed soon.....

WOW nice!!!
Now I understand why I have seen some of your models before... because they have been put into a game. Was it Unreal Tournament 3 mod?? (LOL cant remember where I saw them )

liam887 · 7 Jun 2010, 19:06

No, not that I know of but ive released a few it wouldnt be impossible. But to my knowledge none of my work is in any unreal tournament mod?
As far as I know these are the only games with my models in:

Thanks its a bit of a pain working in windows rather than MacOS but ill get used to it eventually.

Well in that case they had very similar ship designs.

liam887 · 7 Jun 2010, 22:01

yeah maybe, I take influence from a lot of places anyway so I wouldn't be surprised if others ha made similar models?
Anyway finished for today, not going too complicated would like to try and UV map this when its done.

liam887 · 10 Jun 2010, 14:03

thanks

liam887 · 10 Jun 2010, 17:36

finished the basic shape add some details then see what I can do about textures.

hobbnob · 11 Jun 2010, 19:21

This is great! I look forward to seeing it with a few textures, what program do you use to make them?

liam887 · 12 Jun 2010, 19:31

....erm I use sketchup lol!

bad news macbook pro broke compete HD and logic board failure, lost all work! Only took three days tho so will probably make it again when it comes back from apple next week

hobbnob · 12 Jun 2010, 19:40

emm ok I'll rephrase that: what program do you use to create the textures, or do you get them from a website?

liam887 · 12 Jun 2010, 20:21

sorry, erm make the textures in photoshop and apply them in 3dsmax, have to re-build the model again from scratch now anway first!

andrea.bianco · 13 Jun 2010, 10:07

The whole thread is stuffed with great models mate, I especially like your last one. I saw you are featured on some mods and u truly deserve it

liam887 · 16 Jun 2010, 18:32

thanks, still havent heard back from apple so no more stuff for now, hopefully its completley dead and they will give me a new computer fingers crossed !!!!

liam887 · 3 Jul 2010, 00:22
