Thank you. If you look through this current page's photos, you will see what those photos are all about. :)

Re: Airship and more

Molding lights put in. Looking pretty snazy now even if I do say so myself. I'm actually dreading finishing the insides. then it's more tweaking, doing the drop ship and the dreaded texturing and outer hull detailing (shudders!)



I gave the molding and back wall a white texture just to see how it looks.

Re: Airship and more

Just trying out some different scenes to see how the model looks

[boredjedi]

Re: Airship and more

Rendered with real sky and sun

Re: Airship and more

Smoothed out most of the rough textures on the trim. Really looking snazzy now.

Re: Airship and more

Yeah, I had taken another break from working on this model again. I'm back at the trim work though. Still need to iron out the middle trim since I was getting impatient with it. It gets very tedious very fast even more so than doing a ytmnd site. But here it is so far.

You'll notice I'm using a black background again that is because I had reset the scene to import the model in object format to check to make sure the exporting and importing was doing what it's suppose to do. I just haven't replaced the background yet. The only thing it doesn't export is the fancy glass and light materials which I have to redo whenever I do an object format export.

I'll use this post for any more updates on the painting. Took me 1 1/2 hours just to do that wing. Making sure everything is lined up nicely.




I got the stripes on the tail section and applied all the blue coloring to the other objects.



I had to recreate the tail rudder section. I had also redone the top fin section because the meshes were not symetrical enough for texturing and it was messing them up. But it's coming along very nicely.




I did overlook one thing in the above pic. The tail rudder is actually longer. I checked an episode with a good side shot to double check




And this pretty much takes care of the fin, rudder and wing texture detailing.

Re: Airship and more

god with graphics that good you should make a fan-game where you can fly the airship and the skychaser/skybot podracer thing.

Yah they are pretty nice looking graphics.


Started on doing the coloring details

Re: Airship and more

I finally got around to doing the sportacus logo




Most of today I spent reworking the steering wheel. Looks pretty accurate to the actual one




Looks pretty snazy if you ask me. All that work seems to have paid off not to badly and I've learned a lot of new stuff along the way which is always good.
