2001 : Space Station 5 - update, modelling finished!

You may remember about a month ago I said I’d finish “2001 A Shorter Odyssey” by…well…now (if not see this thread : https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14279&highlight=2001+short+odyssey)
Well, now it’s nowhere near finished because it’s being extended. Here is Space Station 5 :

Nice start. Excellent job on the greeble and little details. Keep on going.

man I can’t wait to see that! it’s gonna be awesome! :smiley:

Keep up the great work man!

That looks really good. I have but one suggestion,…: Desubsurface the panels. It seems like at that scale, things would tend to look quite squarish, and the slight curvature of the panels seems out of place in such a utilitarian environment.

Thanks for the comments everyone !
Desubsurfacing the panels looks really, really awful (but well spotted, I didn’t think I had them subsurfed !)
It took all day but I managed to get the modelling done :

Just a bit of texturing, windows and the shuttle bay interior left to do!

I like it, but that black plane that is supposed to be the ship bay/entry just look wrong. Extrude the rectangle into the station and make it look like an actual hole instead of a black plane.

Other than that, it is really, really good. Looks just like I remember it from the movie.

woa pretty good modelling!

I agree with bgdm on the hole, make it go “inside” the station so it’s more realistic.

Also those grey “support metal beam” (?!?) at the bottom right look too simple compare to the rest of the station…I know they are suppose to be simple…but try to find a way to make them more detailed…maybe more of them…I don’t know

Keep it up man, this movie is gonna kick some asses!

amazing details, cant wait to see the finished version

Thanks people !

Of course I will ! You didn’t really think I’d make all those details and leave out the shuttle bay, did you ? :smiley:

Yeah they do look too simple…I made some more, thinner ones…looks better, will post an update later (hopefully).

Keep it up man, this movie is gonna kick some asses!

Thanks ! I hope so, but probably not for some months at least.
