For me it is the clean uncomplicated look that makes you "weapons" look so lethal good work keep posting

liam887 · 18 Jan 2010, 04:38

Yeah im going to go all out with this one, two posts above you can see ive blocked out the whole ship and form the last post you can see ive started the detailing. Im trying to keep everything functional so no stupid things poking out anywhere, I thought I had done a lot then I put the bridge tower back on the ship and realised just how much I had to do if I wanted to keep the same consistent level of detail! Anyway ll just push through im sure it will be worth it when its done glad you like it.

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.

CoreMaster110 · 7 Jun 2010, 19:47

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.

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?
