My WC entry...

Yea, no WiP images, actually, just saw what the WC theme was this weekend.

All my years of Space rendering and modeling payed off, two hours work, had a ship modeled, textured, and ready for rendering.

Frankly, I hate the ship. its about 300,000 polys away from being done. BUt alas, oh well, one weekend isn’t enough to make a good ship anyway.

so, here is it: (Compressed JPEG, 88K)
Ghost Ship:

Good looking ship you have! One problem I see: if you show this image to anyone without telling them what it is, no one will know it’s a ghost ship…too late for that I guess…Hopefully you’ll continue with this ship!

whats to say a ship can’t have a nuclear power plant?

:smiley:

I think what he means is that it doesn’t give the impression that there’s anything “ghostly” about it. Not so much that the lights are on. Your model is fantastic though, and I really like the angle you chose for the camera to get the planet and everything in there. Good luck :slight_smile:

The planet is fantastic. Crap, i wish the one in my entry was as good.

The side pod on the very left edge of your ship, did you forget to testure it or is it just the angle/light?

Is it mars in the background?.. anyway looks great :slight_smile:

yea, its Mars in the background. I learned the best way to do planets is put them on a seperate layer, so you can light it sepertly. (VERY bright, normally I’d use a spotlight, but I used a sunlight for this one…)
