      Hi there,

      I have posted some sci-fi concepts before but never mentioned about the game they were for. That game, Defiance, just shipped a couple days ago. You can check it out here:
      http://www.defiance.com/en/game/?CAS_REDIR=true

      I did some 3D conceptual models for this MMO game back in 2010.

      I did post some images of alien props if you go back in the earlier posts.

      Here are some more.

            Energy Harvesters? Don't know...maybe...why not. πŸ˜‰ Thanks for your comment, Carsten.

            By the way, there is a tutorial on Sketchupartists.org about my texturing techniques. Here's the link http://www.sketchupartists.org/tutorials/sketchup-and-photoshop/art-of-sketchup-texture-workflow/, alghough you probably saw all of them already in my previous posts.

            Thanks for stopping by. Good day to you. β˜€

                Salut Pilou. No, they are not automatised. I have to render each pass individually and combine them in Photoshop. Thanks for asking. I hope this answers your question.

                            Thanks, Oliver. Really appreciate your kind words. Honestly, I don't know when I will have time to finish it. I have lots of WIP that I need to work on, too. Since I have so many images to post, I have been trying not to post huge images so that my Photobucket account won't explode. πŸ˜‰

                            Thanks for you comment, Karl. I have another WIP of a hangar for my spaceships. I will post it soon.

                            Here some old Sketchup conceptual models for the game Defiance (http://www.defiance.com/en/) that I worked on in late 2009 to mid 2010.

                            I did not do the Photoshop background painting. It was done by another in-house concept artist.

                                    That sci-fi/steampunk submarine I did before needed a hangar.

                                    So here it is. A WIP, it has been over 4 months and I still have not had the time to go back to it, but I will finish it someday.

                                        Hi there,

                                        Some more conceptual models I did for Defiance (http://www.defiance.com/en/game/).

                                        Have a great day!
