Spaciship? Spaciship!

Sketchy man!

Starboard side shaping up. I just copied the two mass blocks near the bridge and then "Scale -1" to mirror.

More detail added to the landing bay.

Fascinating process, certain elements have a relationship with the Battlestars (Galactica), the landing bays in particular.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes, looking good so far

Thanks everyone!

I think from here on I'm just going to post major changes. I'm starting to accumulate some errors and I'm falling behind on the details.

[Bryan K]

Side hanger detail updates.

[Bryan K]

New changes. Note the top middle section has changed.

[Bryan K]

Some aft updates.

[Bryan K]

Here's a first look without profile lines.

Still a long way to go.

[Bryan K]

More aft detail. Updated side hanger detail as well.

[Bryan K]

Details, details, details. Still not complete. Still changing mass block sizes. Still moving things around a little bit.

[Bryan K]

Updated keel detail. Changed the length the center engine pods. Moved the guns.

[Bryan K]

Starboard shadow view.

[Bryan K]

Two mass block components temporarily hidden to show hidden detail. These are not internal features, just details in open space but blocked by outer components.

[Bryan K]

Different angle of the keel.

[Bryan K]

Here's what it looks like without the large rear pods. I kind of like this!

[tuna1957]

coming along great

[Bryan K]

Getting close to completion.

[Bryan K]

First render test. The model itself is still not complete.

[Bryan K]

Second test render.

[Bryan K]

Oh man those are terrible renders.

I think I'll wait until I finish the model before I try another render.

Hi Bryan, I think lights in the Landing/loading bays and perhaps navigation lights would help. I also think some bold and not so bold graphic details. but I think your main enemy here is the default materials, Titanium perhaps? I think that model deserves some extra rendering time that the lights and a bit of shine may require:thumb:

(edited) Did you use an image for the background? If not have a look at these. BTW if they take a long time to load into your renderer that is normal. Have attached a link for Space HDRI's

[Bryan K]

Thanks L I am. Good ideas.

[Bryan K]

Bridge detail update. (it might be too much but I'm hoping for a certain render effect)

[Bryan K]

New test render. Still not fully detailed. Just a test.

[Bryan K]

Detail updates. Still not finished.

[Bryan K]

Done. (until some future day)

Not bad. 2 1/2 weeks.

I'll post some close ups tomorrow.

Here's the original drawing by Junji Okubo. This is the ONLY drawing.

You will see my model is not an exact replica, but's it very close.
