Have a great day!

Merci, Pilou.

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!

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

Here are some more conceptual models of alien stuff from Defiance game.

**Have a great day!

It certainly looks very organic, like insects.

Reminds me of something else

I like your clean meshes!

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.

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