Helle Everyone,

Im working on a new ship that is based on the Normandy (the SR1), its not exactly the same style, but the engines and the hull shape are based on it.

it's not completed yet (offcourse it isn't, or it will be in the finished map) but i can't show it from the beginning (started working on it without expentations so first i didn't post it)

Also i got another ship, yes i'm working on a lot of ships at once, but this one isn't based on something just my own design.

(Still everything is made with SketchUp)

    Looks really great

    I like it!

    I just use Kerkythea for rendering because it is free, also i can't afford a expensive render programm, i've downloaded a lot of materials on the Kerkythea site that i use (because those are much better than from SketchUp). only thing that isnt working yet is to make nice space backgrounds. does anyone have some tips?

    i've added some details on the underside of the ship, the round shapes are the landing trusters and the hatch is for the main cannon, also i added airlocks on the sides:

    Those're quite interesting designs.

    This is great! Always have been a Mass Effect guy! :D

    However few things I'm curious about...

    1.) How'd you manage to map that nice texture?
    2.) Those dark indents in he hull, how'd you manage to get that? Or is it apart of the texture?
  • Rick27Rick270 Posts: 0Member
    @alonzo11208,

    The texture you mentioning is not really it's just painted in SketchUp like you see on the images below:

    Your second question is also done in SketchUp itself let me show you:

    First draw your shape you want:
    23.jpg

    Place squares just beside the other lines:
    24.jpg

    Then you intersect them, and delete the squares:
    25.jpg
    -Shut of the hidden geometry and you can paint the lines.

    Besides that thanks for the positive reactions i've received!!

    Sweet design. Really fits the Mass Effect world.

    I like it a lot! I've always wanted to see more human ships from Mass Effect. :D

    You are doing a really great job with this mesh. I'd love to see other designs based in the same universe :)

    Made a new render in space this time, first good looking one, first they always went black now its ok i think.

    The render in the attachment is better, below is from Picasa:

    I like it. If you ask me, there isn't nearly enough Mass Effect stuff here.

    Also, I like how the ship kinda-vaguely looks like one of the old chrome-cigar rockets. That somehow just fits with the ME 'verse.

    the interior is fantastic!
    are you designing it so it'll fit inside the exterior? as I recall the Mass Effect interiors don't really fit inside the Normandy exterior . . .
  • TALON_UKTALON_UK2 Posts: 0Member
    Loving the enterior environment design, really nice moody lighting you've got going on there, can't wait to see more.
  • Knight26Knight26191 Posts: 837Member
    Very cool

    Yes it really fits, but i dont combine the models, the files are too big for my computer to work fine while combined.

    Ah, I see I have a competitor when it comes to ship + interior design ;) Very stylish work you deliver here, how long have you been working with SU? And did you use point-lights in that engineroom or self illuminating surfaces?
  • I would love to see this ship in a nice scene with the Normady!
  • PearsePearse0 Posts: 0Member
    Really nice lighting in those interiors. This is shaping up very well. :)

    Hello Everybody,

    Sorry for the lack of updates last time, but i was pretty busy with school, also my computer wasn't working well.

    So today i worked on something else than the ship (or the interior). I don't know yet what it's goanna be, but i was thinking of a custom made Mass Relay (after the war with the reapers, maybe they had to rebuild some). Or just a space station.

    Here are the images:

    Just an update (render):

  • Knight26Knight26191 Posts: 837Member
    Maybe a mass relay testbed, as it is too small to accomodate anything larger then that particular ship.
  • Rick27Rick270 Posts: 0Member
    Yes that's a good idea, maybe i use it like that.
  • Rick27Rick270 Posts: 0Member
    New Render in space, also another camera view. did some extra details on the top and the bottom, only the top is in the render ofcource, hope you like it.
