I started to make my own universe with little different spaceships. Hera are some ready models and some not ready. I make now Ship "Flying Dutchman" hangar, where I placee all little fighters and shuttle.
Here is some scenes (only testing): http://vimeo.com/62056168
Here are two more, fighters have hooks and they can penetrate thru bigger ships hull. I have old laptop and all my models are quite lowpoly. In animation they work fine but perhaps some day I can make them more detailed, so camera can go close them in one take. Now I must make two different models, distant and close ones.
your first ship has an interesting(but rather ugly) shape and some good texturing, maybe sharpen the nose somewhat. ship in the second post is good but appears a bit of a plain shape, the first ship in your 3rd post i like but the other two their look a bit too alien. the last one should be shown from a more revealing angle so i can get a better idea of what shape it is.
Interesting, yeah there is a definite Jules Verne/Steampunk/Babylon 5 thing going on there, some of the designs are better than others, and the interiors are certainly interesting. That first ship brought to mind the ships of the Brakiri. Reminds me a little of the Excalibur too.
Some of the ships are quite low poly and I use them only in background when I make animations. But now when I look this old model, I started to make it a new version, less sharp corners and perhaps more details for closeup.
Only three models are animated, moving turrents, lights and other parts.
Istarted to make main ships hangar, there comes about 5 - 6 different scout/fighters and some automaton repair robots, then animation where camera goes thru hangar.
I'm liking these very much! Much more interesting than most generic "futuristic" spaceships, many of which look like they were designed in the 1980's. The pics look like they could be from a new game...MYST: In Space!
I was thinking video game too, in the best possible way... I expect quirkiness and subversive content, I feel like I should be exploring this on a CD-ROM.
good work but very steampunk, to my eyes it does look like an absolute rust bucket bolted together. i would certainly love to "explore this on a CD-ROM" as it looks really interesting.
Now that I have all spaceships ready I started to make "secret" starbase.Here is beginning... I make two different starbase, one for close-up inside village and surrounding forest, lake ect... and another outside for space scenes.
I have made that starbase now over 2 weeks, so I started to make something else for a while.Another starbase Here is so far... I make different modules, so I can then construct in Layout different combinations with them. To me there is hard part to imagine all those little surface parts.
rather good and nice renders, i like some parts of the base but it does look somewhat too much like a structure on the surface of a planet. the texturing is good and i also like the ships in the foreground a bit.
