C&C welcome, more later.

First pass at the landing gear -



Comments welcome, more soon!

Little more done, now time for a break. Kept the guns, just tweaked how they mount to the hull -



More soon!

Detailing the forward hull -



More soon.

Inside of landing leg bays finished as much as I can until I get the lighting done. Legs are boned and rigged so I can animate this baby. Hatch is rigged as well and slides nicely at an off angle :-)



The exterior is pretty much done and rigged aside from texturing. Procrastinating slightly because the inside is the bigger job, and I am having to remember so much, lol. The question I have (before I move on to the rooms behind those windows and more) is - does this need a weapon system? In two minds about that. But let me know your thoughts.



As always, click on the thumbnails for larger images, comments welcome, keep well and safe and more soon.

And now...

The reworked McCaffrey Class, USS Clarke - textures need redoing, but I've indicated where I've made changes. Mainly I've shorted the length of the ship by pushing the primary hull back, I've also change the size of the upper platform giving her a smaller ship look. I've moved the neck back as well, and made some tweaks to the nacelles. Yep, I will sort the textures out;




I think it makes for a sleeker and better proportioned ship;




Question - Now I have an arboretum set is it worth adding it to the Clarke?

Comments as always welcome, more soon!

It looks great. And it's definitely good that you remembered the airlocks.

Thank you!


Basic set for the inside of the flight deck -




I may develop it later as a separate mesh. But I don't think it needs any more than I've done.



Current orthos -





Still lots to do, but she is coming along nicely.

Comments always welcome, and ideas.

More later!

Looking great. I really like that image of the Earth too.

Thanks! The ship does render up pretty :-)

Thanks! I have some ideas myself (being something of a writer).


Not done, just having some fun before I dive back into doing some more work on this:

Looks like it could float awash…

Thanks!

Updates - detailing and texturing started. Going to have a go at some of the insides as well, so mapping out how the cargo bay and bridge fit in the frame -




More soon!
