3DWIP - Re-Atum Star Trek ship

Aresius

whao, nice job, that's really a step forward.

komaro

Since I change for mental ray, i changed the window's surfaces and some other stuff...

komaro

A small update on the texturing, more later:

Aresius

That's really amazing what you're making.

komaro

This is the wings final update. Remains the engines and the under hull and some doors.

Aresius

That looks so wonderful. Will the brown hue remain?

komaro

If you mean the light effect on the brown texture, yes it will. It's part self illuminated with a very high glossy effect.

komaro

Engine lights. I had to redo the side because of corruption, but you have now a nice blue effect in place.

I only have two comments.
1. Amazing work. It's nice to some new unique designs out there.

2. Maybe you should "turn off" some of the windows. You know, since not every room will always be occupied.

1. Thank you 2. I am trying too, but I have difficulty getting a good contrast. I put a noise texture, and you can see some darker windows compare to the others, but not to the point of being dark.

I love those nacelles, they're great, but I think they glow a bit too much.

komaro

I am trying to do a movie animation in a worp tunnel of some sort. First animation in 3ds max, so...still learning.

komaro

This the low render of the animation. Still a lot of things to do...

Aresius

Looks nice, but right now it doesn't feel like some kind of slipstream, but more a connection tunnel of some alien station who loves to build with whitish organic matter...

oldmangreg

Cool but I think you should rotate the ship a bit while it's making those turns.

komaro

Agree. I want the tunnel to have a kind of water moving texture that glow. Don't know how yet...
I need to adjust the ship movement and the camera. And some lighting too, but with mental ray I still don't know how to generate them...

Here are the final stills for the ships:

Well, it's gonna take 15-16 hours to render the wormhole movie 900 frames, so...I am gonna do it around friday.

komaro

Here is the full render film. That took 15 hours to do.
