wow great work bryan! the outer hull needs some death star detail now!

Why not try and model the planet too? TOS and artisan would help greatly

I won't be greebling the main hull. I'm going for the John Berkey style. His style has large expanses of smooth surface broken up by areas of intense detailing. There are many examples on google.

I doubt I'll make a planet. I'm limited to what I have or free and I'm pretty sure I can make a picture work. Photo matching is good practice for me. Massimo has shown me how to make my own HDRI with Kerky.

I still have a few more weeks worth of work on this one just to finish the exterior. Bow and stern still need hangers and I'm still not happy with the center arch details. Then there is the final scene set up.

[Bryan K]

Fore and aft hangers.

For fun, some x-rays.

Looking great.

The last few images make it almost seem as if the ship has viking oars, ha ha.

Speaking of John Berkey, the following painting is one of my favorites of his. However when I look at it now all I think of is...
"Reavers!!!"

Intrusion, an Unpleasant Visitor - 1990

Serenity - Firefly

[Bryan K]

REAVERS!

[Bryan K]

Well it's done. My PC has reached its limit.

Got the greeble completed around the hangers and that was all that can be done.
