Re: Airship and more

This is amazing! Will you be submitting the model to the LT people? It's really fantastic!

Nah, I'm sure they are more than happy with their version I have bigger plans for it though.

Thanks.


Just a quick update. I've been stuck on the door section but I think I've figured out how to deal with it.

And so it begins. The portholes.

Thank you very much pooky. Though, I'm guilty of the non-replying a bit myself from time to time but I do read pretty much everything.

Although we all here at getlazy do not reply as often as we should do, I must say that we follow the progress of your Sporatcus Airship with great fascination (I think I can speak for all). We need people like you who does a littlebit more than just looking for a nice and funny conversation (there's nothing wrong with that offcourse). It will keep the LTboard so much alive and for fans to come back every time. Thank you Boredjedi

Re: Airship and more

Just showing a little more progress tonight. Looks like I might just get lots done by the weekend.







Finished the bottom part that went pretty fast :)

Wow, man thats great work. Do you do stuff like this for a living?
Also Kudos to you for the Bowie quote. Man Who Sold the World, is one of my favorite albums.
Most folks only remeber "Let's Dance"

Nope this is my first model actually. I have tinkered with it before but nothing ever this serious.

The early bowie stuff is the best.

And thanks :)


I said to nindan earlier I wonder if I left the wood out in the 3d sun would it get that nice used bleach look like you see in the reference photo. Maybe throw in some 3d storms to give the weather look a nice touch.

Re: Airship and more

I spent the last week rebuilding my system. Not the hardware but the software. Thanks to some new ATI video drivers the xp install decided to start melting. So, a very long overdue backup of my system at 2 days and 120 gigs worth of poop. Not the airship though, I do backups on that regularly. Took me the rest of last week to get everything else back up and running.
Onward and upward now.

I also spent a very long time looking for just the right floor texture for the airship floor. I think this one is nearly dead on. Remember there is no lighting in the airship as of yet and the floor is picking up the ambient light. Anyway, here's a small update. I hope to finish up the window grill work and the circular wall panels by the end of the week.

Sorry, got carried away by the incredible progress you've made since the very first screenshot I saw of this. :)[/quote:ac213]


Hey get carried away. I am myself. I'm surprised it's coming out so good myself. I thought it was going to look like total crap when I first started being my first model and all. I love how the gondola has turned out so far. I'm setting up some more shots of inside and out I'm so pleased with it. :)
