        Thanks, Oli. Actually you won't see these models. There were done back in 2009. They got some new designers and a new Art Director on board the next year, and they changed most of everything based on the new directions. I was back to working on Rift at that time.

        Here's another personal project in my series of Sci-Fi interiors.

        Skp + VrayFS + Photoshop

        Have a good day!

          Hi there,

          More stuff from the game Defiance. They were done a while ago back in 2009.

          Have a great day!

              Lovin' your work Ken πŸ˜„

              Especially the giant, sculptural machines a few posts above.

              Some of your more orgainc stuff reminds me of Sparth's paintings - http://sparth.tumblr.com/

              Was wondering if he was an influence πŸ˜„ Either way, awesome work - I always check out your threads first when I visit this site.

                Thank you for your compliments, Andy. Yes, I know Sparth's concepts. Very inspiring.

                  It certainly looks very organic, like insects.

                        Love following your work here. It's great you share them with us!
                        These last ones lead me to ask have you experimented with structures that grow semi-organically or fractal-like like space stations or Paolo Soleri concepts?

                          **>> Thanks for your kind comments. Since you ask the question, I'd thought I post some more of my personal projects/sci-fi environments during the in-between job period. I hope this will satisfy your question about fractal. πŸ˜‰

                          This is one of my favorite sci-fi models. Lots of details and challenges.**

                                      Hi there,

                                      Here's a view from below of that Alien interior environment posted above.

                                      This one is a raw render with no postwork and paintover yet.

                                      Take care,

                                          Thanks for your comment, Pilou.

                                          Here's a futuristic helicopter I did some months ago. I think it's one of my favorite vehicle models.
