Hi everybody,
I was playing around with my still in wip Maya conversion of Millenium Falcon model by Crook and I decided to add some color to it, so here it is with blue marking.
What do you think?
PS : if someone has tips or advices concerning how to light up a space scene in Maya I would be very happy to hear him

@TALON_UK, yeah I saw them and thought it could be fun to try, it is just some blue stripes or red ones if I remember the falcon cameo and not a complete painting.
It is around 300 000 quads for now, as I said it is a conversion from a lightwave model and the cockpit aspect is due to the strange way lightwave export fbx sometimes, there were a lot of "orphan vertex" if I could say that so I will remodel it soon.
Anyway, I Love the work so far, I mention the above because I always figured the Falcon looked the way she did because she had a few hundred billion miles on the odometer, I wonder what she would look like if it had a similar story as the Y-Wing, once upon a time when it was new things were all put in place, no open sections or whatever.
Is it just me or does the YT-1300 series keep reminding me of the old GMC and Chevy Blazers pickup and SUV GM line.. I always got the impression the falcon and most of the YT series was kinda the light SUV Pickup series Corriela had. They seem to have a similar life style. Quite popular when they were new, not too pricey, easy to drive (fly), decent light transport ability for passangers or cargo, from point A-B. Very easy to modify, reliable when they want to be. Capable of being fixed by the owner with just the tool box he has and some mechanical knowledge. Seems to outlive its newer sisters and cusions, and many no longer are in there original factory specifications. Also despite how old they get you can't help but love the old truck or ship.

It had an interesting look, actually reminded me of what the MF might look like if it was built by caterpillar.
