Well, with the completion of the Palatine-class remodel, it's time to update the Viminal attack ship. The Viminal gunship was designed by the Thrassi Republic for escort duty of larger ships (Adamant is accompanied by two of them almost all the time), and for fast interdiction of small targets. But they've also been used as orbit-to-surface shuttles for capital ships, too. So, without further...
So, finally finished the public edition of the conference room set and uploaded it.Starship Conference Room BAnd here is the text description:_____A highly detailed starship interior, suitable for use as a conference room, observation lounge, or officers' mess hall.All previews rendered in Cycles or Blender internal engines, with post-processing nodes. UV mapping only guaranteed in .blend, .obj, and .ma versions.Features:--Included 25,000 px across...
Starting to work on the new Adamant's interior.The bridge shell has changed shape to this, with a human model to give an impression of scale:It's necessary to redesign the interior of the Command Deck so that it fits.I also wanted to take this chance to redesign the ship's interior motif, too. I wanted something a bit more menacing and muted. Since the outside...

The old demo reel was really starting to...
Just a little post today, showing work done so far on the Adamant refit. Got the new warp winglet pods animated and ready. I also bit the bullet and completely remodeled the wings and the thruster pods on the wings, as the curvature was a bit funky. "Reduce speed, bring us out of warp." -- Every nerd sitting in the bathroom at one...
So, continued work on Gingerbreed. The guys over at HiFI3D sent me some finals yesterday featuring one of the digital sets I built for them.Here are some original OpenGL versions of the Colony set as it was being built:Since this set was to be different from the rest of the sets built previously, I started with a single panel to get an okay...
Hi all,A bit of technical info today! How to shoot a shot of your spaceship that's good looking. This is a text version of a part of the tutorial I made a few years ago called "How I Make My Space Scenes", starting at about 16 minutes in: https://youtu.be/YqczD44Gf84?t=16m6sSo, you have a beautiful 3D model of your favorite starship in your software and...
