Minotaur-class Battlecruiser (Starcraft II)

Update:
Started the underside after playing around with the compositor (plus 2hrs of oblivion and some warsow but that doesn’t count :smiley: ). Got some ideas, however I can’t really focus any longer so I’ll call it a day. Anyways, tomorrow I’ll try to make the enclosure around the yamato cannon a bit better (will most likely cut the bottom wall and put a lot of greebles in its place, plus the interior). About the middle’s underside - will most likely extend the observation corridor along it, adding support structures and stuff along the way (read: greebles :smiley: ). As for the hole at the end of it - I just forgot to fill that up :slight_smile: Otherwise got some plans for it but I think I’ll just fill it up - after it comes the engineering/wings section and that will most likely be full of detail so no real need.
And about the glow fx - Thanks again, DDD :slight_smile: Screen blend/fast gaussian seems to be doing wonders :smiley:

C&C welcome and good night from me (probably after an hour of lurking but still) :slight_smile:

Mwaha-ha-ha! Yes! I love the effect! I just hope you are not using the pass index method:p…i kinda wish i knew about the render layer trick before i did the tutorial… And yeah, NP!

BTW, the underside is looking great!

Small update, I’ll just post the pic:

Otherwise the middle mouse button on my 6 months old (lol) mx518 broke (something’s actually loose inside the mouse) so I’m putting this on hold for ~2 days xcept if the shop doesn’t honor the warranty (rage police time ^_^). Got other mice lying around too but that just killed my mood.

Wow,this is awesome, what’s the polycount?

64220 faces w/ the subsurfs so far.

Thats it? Wow I have had much simpler models with higher poly counts than that before. Are you using subsurf level of 1 or 2 for all this though?

Only for a few of the pipes, otherwise no subsurf at all. Otherwise got in the mood due to a SC2 art contest with a GTX460 as a price (sell that plus my current = power :evilgrin:). The mouse is an old logitech mini… Gotta love this for SC1 :slight_smile:

Hmm, i never use the middle mouse button. i do the emulate mousepad option thing, and use SHIFT CTRL ALT and LMB combinations…(yes i have laptop, but i have mouse as well)

Update:
Did some things to the back side and the underside. Still not done - the underside still needs some work (haven’t touched the middle at all) and the back side is… well, just started and also I think I’ll be changing those big white arrow lights. Anyways, here’s the pic:

Night from me :slight_smile:
