Absolutely stunning work mate, loving what you've done here, cracking attention to detail, especially on that R2 unit (though the nose of that A-Wing looks a little too thin at the moment) and you can certainly park that shuttle in my hanger anytime. And no, that wasn't a euphemism.
Great work Chris ! ... All are well done, but your Falcon is the best CG version I've seen, ...
Hope to see some updates soon, ... well done mate ! :thumb: ...
Jas
thanks New updates for the falcon have to wait some time. I'm learing UV MApping right now and I'm trying to map the X-Wing and the Imperial Shuttle. When this is done I'll start with the Falcon again.

Ok, its out now. Yes, I'm working on a Fan Film Project. I founded Scarabaeus Entertainment which will produce the Fan Film and the Title will be "Awakening Of The Sith". The film will be a 100% CG Movie based on MoCap Characters.
The stroy starts right after EP VI (maybe one or two years later) and tells the story of the return of the "true" Sith, more evil and more sinister.
It is all my own story. I will not useing parts from existing books or the EU and such.
And yes ... I need help a lot of help So if there is someone out there with good and/or high Skills of Character Design, Animatons, Storyboarding, Matte Painting, VFX ... please drop me a line
Here comes a little update:
I have mapped one Wing. The mapping is good but I'm not happy with the texture yet.
Looking good with your texturing there, a solid start. Can't wait to see your X-Wing finished, and that Falcon just looks better and better every time I view it, the depth of detail is really something, looking forward to seeing the finished article there too.
If the rest of the texturing is anything like that wing, it will be impressive for sure!
I've followed all of your WIP's for what seems like ages now. I had a feeling you would eventually start a project like this with all of those fantastic models. I've always considered your work "very clean" as far as geometry and detailing is concerned. Do you plan to launch a website for this project, or keep everything on the boards?

Again ... thank you all for the positive feedback.
While I'm still trying to learn how to make UVMapping and making good working UV Maps for the X-Wing and the Imperial Shuttle I have made the main shape for this:
the Y-Wing
Man I can tell you, this fuselage is a critter
A special thanks goes to Daniel (aka Darth_Daniel) for his help. Thank You!
Y-Wing looks to be a good start !, ... I know it's in the early stages , but were there panel lines on the exhaust nozzles of the ILM Models ? ...
I've always liked the look of the Moldly Crow, and remember Olivier (Dr.Jones) did a very nice model of her many moons ago .... Will be interested to see your version take shape Chris ....

Hey Jas, thanks for the positive feedback!
Yes there are that panel lines. The model I'm doing is the legendary Red Yammer:
Heh, that brings back memories, nice start on this one.
Yessss ... I found that old games on Steam and they are all playable on my WIN7 PC in high resolution (except Dark Forces - this one was too old I think)
Looking good, it might not be accurate to the original game model to do this, but I think the fuselage could maybe do with a little subtle chamfering on some of those harsher edges, it just looks a little too sharp in places at the moment. I think you should feel free to do this, after all I feel with EU designs that they're a little more open to artistic interpretation than grade A canon material such as designs featured in the movies etc.
That Moldy Crow is looking pretty darned nice. I've loved that ship design since I was a kid playing Dark Forces for the first time.
I'm also looking forward to what you do with the Y-Wing! I have a profile drawing of it on hold while I get back to researching the original filming miniatures and mockups to detail it properly. I've been doing a BSG Viper in the meantime as a drawing and shading practice profile for the Y-Wing. Then I still have requests from friends to do an X-Wing too, so I need to gather resources there....
Anyway, keep up the great work. I'm loving the ships you've been doing, you have been hitting on a lot of my favorites.

This is just the main shape. I will make some grebbles and such too and edgeroundings too. Lets see what comes out at the end
I've started to finally finish my X-Wing. I've started with the cockpit (which will based on ALL used in the Movies and miniatures ... a mixture of all because there is NO special cockpit ... in the movies they have used about 3-5 different cockpits.)

I stumbled upon the games Dark Forces and Dark Forces II today and the Force told me to model her and I could not resist:

I'm still not sure how the Cockpit will look alike but I think I'm coming with some updates very soon.
