-RJB-'s High polygon models and scenes thread

[-RJB-]

Work has been keeping me pretty busy for the last few weeks but I managed to squeeze some free time in today and got my bridge section of the Tempest done.

I started work on some parts that will go into making a bridge for the Tempest.

This is the first part and it's still a wip itself.

Enjoy

Looking good so far.

Your modeling skill is quite good. It's even inspirational.

It all looks great, very nice work you are doing there. What program do you use by the way? More tha a little curious.

Thank you and I use Lightwave

 

[Majestic]

Lightwave, I attempted to start using blender to render some simple shots but the program won't import any of the files it says it can.

Perhaps when I get my next job I may consider getting (buying) a program that would actually do what it say it does.

Anyway with your bridge , are you going to keep it close to the Daedalus/Prometheus bridges or go a step further and doing something a bit more different?

Well for price lightwave is not bad coming in at under $1000 but this is still a large investment so if you can try it out first it would be for the best. It would suck to spend a lot of money on a program with an interface you can't work with. Most 3d packages seem to be hit or miss depending on the person using them.

Now about the bridge. The over all basic design will be the same with the mapping room in the back and the control area in the front but past that a lot of the layout will change. There will be about 4 main station in the front with the captain still seated in the center.

Here is an early texture test for my Daedalus.

I still have a lot of tweaking to do on it and then running lights to add.

Enjoy.

That beasty is amazing, whats the poly count like?

Impressive looking monster of a ship, looks like it can inflict a lot of punishment.

:Y And its only an early texture? Amazing work RJB.

Well they are more or less finished it's just mostly tweaking a few settings to get everything to look it's best.

After that I add all the running lights for the ship.

That beasty is amazing, whats the poly count like?

The final poly count is 375,320.

 

[Knight]

The final poly count is 375,320.

Ouch.

That'd be why it looks so impressive lol.

 

[-RJB-]

Ouch.

That'd be why it looks so impressive lol.

Well when you think about it most of the models used in shows are around 1-8 million polygons, so this kind of makes it a low polygon model in itself.

I hadnt thought about it quite like that lol
Its still very impressive
I must admit i havent seen the latest series of stargate yet unfortunately. in fact, the last one i saw (on terrestial tv) was where they went back to ancient egypt to steal a ZPM, messed it up, and then alternate versions of them went back to try and restore the original timeline - so i havent actually seen that ship yet unfortunately.

Here is the light setup.

That last one looks particularily awesome. Makes me wish I knew a lot more about 3DS Max and Lightwave...
