Small Experimental Warp Shuttle

[tyko]

Hey,

Just thought I’d share this new project piece. I want to texture it but not sure h ow to go about it. I want to do some panelling effect.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

It looks like you’re off to a great start. It’s good you know what you want to do with it next. Look forward to seeing more.

Hey thanks. I used a temporary texture and box mapped it onto the shuttle, but I’m unsure how to add bump to it with that method. I also added some lights for effect more than anything. I like the idea of it in the dark of space, illuminated mostly by itself.

I still might just add physical panelling instead of texture but that’s proving difficult as the sub-surf changes when I start GGrrrrr

Well, it sure looks like you did your homework on current warp drive theory… that’s for sure ! Model is looking good too. Suggest a caricature of Einstein in the pilot’s seat

I’ll have him doing an EAV

I’ve ditched the box mapped texture and the subsurf mod and instead gone for manually bumping up the loop cuts and adding a edgesplit mod. I’m using Kuhn Industries method of adding panelling. It’s taking ages but I think it will be worth it in the end.
