...in fact, your orthos alone coupled with available reference shots from skiffy mean that I or anyone else could follow there's and your work and create their own Valkyrie class ships...it's just that if you were to release your mesh, it would mean that we could all be lazy and either use yours or refine it or bungle the job or whatever.
In any case, again, desirable work done well, peace to you.
Man, when I first saw this in "Hero," I thought it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen... But your mesh makes even this thing look beautiful. Nice work! :thumb:
...yeah, I guess so. Some of Infinity's vanity shots of her really do flatter her a lot.
She really does look nice in oblique angled shots from either dorsal or ventral angles. Bow and stern orthos look really nice too. Port/Starboard orthos are mediocre and Full on Dorsal/Ventral orthos is where Valkyrie really shows her lack of grace. Lords of Kobol save us but from top and bottom, this is one ugly baby.
Well I did get creative with alot of it, so its more of an interpritation then a reproduction. I find Valkyrie is so ugly its attractive in its own way, and yes she looks best at ether realy flat camera angles or the fish eyed ones.
Please, definitely release this mesh, not that I can actually use it. I know people have their reasons for not releasing stuff; they don't like seeing their meshes used in armature work, they're avoiding getting it stolen, or modified without their permission. But in general, I find it kind of rude not to release something to everyone that is of a quality that some or a lot of people would enjoy, when it costs the creator nothing to do so. Of course, I created something once with the explicit rules not to use it in certain ways, so, of course, it's up to you.
Would you be willing to make two versions, your version, which I like a lot, especially the ventral guns, and a canon mesh, that follows the ship as closely as possible and only shows what was shown in the show?
When Its released, feel free to modify it to your harts content. The only stipulation is If I like what you do to it you have to give me yours as well.
:thumb: YOu have done an incredible job recreating the Val! Any news on our next efforts. Have you considered getting together with other artisits to do a full Colonial fleet (with some interpretations of course)?
Check the 3d Gallery Thread, hopefully I can get my hands on AdrikG's Peggy and shoot out some nice renders with that too. But alot of the other members who have BSG projects are (well, doing alot higher poly work then I dare) and arn't quite finished yet, but hopefully we will do some large fleet renders in the future.
Absolutely excellent work!! Can't believe how well this turned out when you consider how poor a quality the reference shots were. I have GOT to learn how to do 3D.
I'm trying to do the Tiger Claw from the Wing Commander movie with equally poor reference pics, but am having absolutely no luck. So please excuse my gushing about this.
The Valkyries, were warrior maidens who attended Odin, ruler of the gods. The Valkyries rode through the air in brilliant armor, directed battles, distributed death lots among the warriors, and conducted the souls of slain heroes to Valhalla, the great hall of Odin.

peace.
You've made amazingly fast progress with this
I know all about making models with very few reference images, great work.

Thanks for all the complements guys.
Hope to see it in the mod soon...
It's the first time a pagan pantheon other than the Greek has been mentioned or referenced on the show.
