Hi Jason,
Just ask me your question(s) and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am always busy, and it might take days, but you will get a reply.
Take care.

Thx for the precisions!

You're welcome, Pilou. Bonne journee!

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.

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!

Hi there,

Have a great day!

As usual Ken, nice work

-
Lovin' your work Ken

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
Either way, awesome work - I always check out your threads first when I visit this site.A.

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.

It certainly looks very organic, like insects.

Reminds me of something else


I like your clean meshes!

@ Carsten: Thanks for you comment. LOL...Snoopy, good comparison. Thanks for the laugh.

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? -

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.**


The alien spaceship is one of my alien vehicles from my earlier posts.

Just for fun, I exported into Lumion3D to add glass material.

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful week!

Best,
