Main hull panels

Have been cutting out the rescue pods on this part of the hull and done some panels. Still have buttloads left :)

Number 10

This is version 10 of the panels. And I hurt all over. Have been out in the garden and worked.

Aaand panels

Haven't had time to do much today. My little but powerful wife kicked me out into the garden ,to do some work now that the rain have stopped. But here is two renders. Didn't like those to much actually.

And even more panels

One more.

More panels

Testing out some different panels.

Saucer panels

Started on the panels on the saucer.

Nacelle done

Think I'll go with this. The panels dont look to shabby, and I'm relatively pleased with it.

Paneling away.

Have some few left to make on the nacelles. Boolean the panels saved me many days of mind numbing work. Jippi :D

Panel testing

Well, it looks promising so far. Decided to try the boolean way. Made cubes and shaped them as panels and cut the panels out that way. then a quick extrude to get some height. This was just a test, so need to redo some of them.

Texture test 2

I feel I'm so totally unfocused right now. Not happy with the quality of the textures.Need to redo them, and maybe redo the uv mapping on the nacelle.

Texture test

Trying out some textures I made. I see that 1000x1000 is a bit small. The bump gets all jagged. Not sure about what color I should use either.

Easing myself into it.

Jepp. Trying to ease myself into this model again. Decided to try some nacelle work. Did some lines. I wish Ac3d could have an option to insert some loops with fixed width, but no, I have to split and move every damn vertex manually.

USS Invidia

Hell, I was hoping I was over the block with the Invidia model now that I had made some other stuff like the Flynn lightcycle and Moto, but no. Still stuck on the bloody paneling. Shit. Well, I did a render on how it looks like now.

Ringworld

Finally summer holidays. Been busy with work in the real world, but here is a new picture from me. Only thing I haven't modeled are the suit. Thats made by Shukky and downloaded from sharecg. I posed it in Dazstudio4, a free Poser wannabe, and then adjusted it in Ac3d. The buildings and the ring are modeled in Ac3d and then imported to Carrara. Its around 400 buildings in the finished render, all replicated and spread over the ring.

Playing around.

Yes, some old stuff I made some years ago. The street is from another project I made. I thought it could make an interesting background to the Moto. And recycling are just soooo it, this year ;o)

Alone v.2

Finally. After countless renders and redoes, and redo on the redoes and so on, this is what I ended with. Think I'm there now. I got an idea for the Moto RS style bike I want to follow, but I need to model some more stuff first. More to come.

Moto RS

While I'm waiting on the updated Alone renders, that takes forever, mostly because I keep changing them, I decided to make some new textures. Its a more grown up version :)

Alone

"Jessie stood on the road, high up, and listened to the humming of the gigantic machines shaped as skyscrapers. She lifted her hand against the sun, trying to see what laid ahead. The tracker on her hip gave a steady bip, promising that the signal she followed was quite near. She began to wonder if she maybe should be down on the bottom level instead."

Well, its close to what I had in mind with this picture. I'll post a wallpaper shape as well.

Moto test render

Trying out some different tire treads here. Not sure about this one. Need to try some more :)

Moto is still alive.

Well, I guess I couldent leave it alone. Did some changes here and there. More to come.

Moto final

I'll consider myself finished with the bike for now. I will probably come back to it and improve things on it after a while. Its a quick and dirty design, and I see a lot I can improve on. But I wanted a girls bike, and I think it looks ok for now :)

Moto wip part9

Nearing the end here. Did some beauty renders to check textures and colors. I wanted a girly look on this bike, so.....

 

Moto wip part8

Latest progress. Some design changes to make it look better.

Moto wip part7

Made a render to see if I needed to change anything, and I see there is some stuff here and there that I need to change.

Moto wip part6

Latest progress. Think I'll commit the sub-d now.

Moto wip part5

I'm getting to the point that I cant do much more on the bike before I commit the subdivisions. Have a few small details left to do.

Moto wip part4

Its the 17. May here in Norway, and its our National day, yay. Been working on the breaks and some other stuff.

Moto wip part3

Some progress on the design. Its been much try and error here :)

Moto wip part2

A bit more done. This is a very fast and simple design, but I hope it will evolve as I go along :)

Moto wip part1

Been working a little bit on a new bike. Not much to look at yet. And its not the Tron universe, its more of a scifi bike.

Clay render of bike

Ok, last one, I promise :) Got to do something else now.

Render update

Made a little update to the Bridge render. Changed the light and some other stuff. Also a render of the setup without any texture and only a hdr light.

Lightbike from the front.

Finally got some time to make a render from the front. Played a bit with color as well :)
