Hello Everybody, been away from the forum for some time, but i decided to start posting again. did some sci-fi last time, but didn't really think about posting because i did some portfolio work for Game-art (i'm selected for the study course, everything what i did was preparation).

So here's what i've got: (left to right)

NORMANDY SR1 Medical Bay
Some UFO fun project for my fathers music DVD :)
Low-poly tileable city landscape
Some finished space ship
and the space ship where i'm working on now

Everything is with SketchUp/Kerkythea, hope you like it :)

    some nice work and those that are textured are done so extremely well. i know you've used sketchup in the past but i guess these are rendered using something different?

    That's some really nice work. I like the Normandy medical bay. I just started playing Mass Effect recently, so I'm pretty familiar with that location and your version looks fantastic. I like the UFO designs, those are neat and the cityscape is wonderful. I've never had the patience to do an entire city. The big space ship is cool too, as is the unfinished one. I'm loving the details on the ship you're working on. I like the sun in that one image, did you make that? :D

    Thanks evilgenius, i'm working on a turret system for my new ship now, updates probably Tuesday because i don't really have time tomorrow. The sun in one of the renders is in a background, i should wish i had modeled that one :). The city though is pretty easy and fast, just build some towers, change them in some different versions (at the end like +-15 towers) place them on a hexagon, and just tile your city part.

    Well, if it's that easy, maybe I'll whip one up tomorrow. ;)

    (tip: never devalue your work ;))

    Unfortunately a smaller update than i wanted, but i did some work on the turrets, turret heat-sinks (visible at the top between the turrets) and the engines:

    Man, you get some great results from Kerkythea. I would love to see how you setup your lighting. (all of it, from ambient to glows to points)

    Hey sojourner, i made a small tutorial for you in the attachment, the spherical i placed in the attachments i do use for my renders (the sun, earth, moon, milkyway, are not on the right positions, i just use it for the spherical lighting)

    The lights in my models are mostly self-illuminating materials

    EDIT: i can't upload the full-res of the spherical

    Hey cool, thanks. The one thing that has always bugged me about Kerkythea is the terrible documentation. I never had much luck finding this kind of information on their forums either. I'll have to try a few test renders with some models later tonight.
