hmm..is that it? seems like it could be the Quincarrier?

i wish i had the patience (well, patience, skill, and design sense) to model stuff like this. i did the quincarrier not too long ago.. wasnt too special though...probably the last marvel thing i've done too.

It was a long time ago I made that model! Well its hard to model the environments in SU, I usually make a basic model and then paint over it in Photoshop.

I have being viewing your work alot lately Liam, very impressive work, i noticed also you work on game projects also on whisper studios, great detail, im curious to know do you import these models directly into a game engine? Iv only recently started helping out an independent game developer team on creating models, you can view my old barn concept in the WIP FORUM. Any tips would be great in this line of work

I have never had to import directly as its never been my job, I leave that to the programmers etc. I just make sure when I deliver a model its in the right format, usually .3ds.

Cheers Liam, thankfully i dont need to import directly either, may i ask 1 more question, is there any demos/examples of your models in a game that is playable at the moment???

Unfortunately thats little more than the odd freelance & fun job now and again.

I am so busy with my real job I dont have time to play anymore but I try as much as possible as it keeps me sane! If I do any new projects or work it will appear on my website here:
