Hi there, this is my first project in Blender. I studied in Lightwave and Maya over 10 years ago but Blender is new to me.
This ship is a design I made all those years ago, now updated and redesigned a little. I am slowly learning Blender as I am making it.
This is the latest render.
It’s very wipeout meets Star trek, I like it.
Thanks, it is Star Trek, based around the timeline at the end of Voyager.
This is a better view of the shape.
Very nice modeling, the angle/perspective of the first image is very well chosen.
Welcome to Blender Artists!
This is still one of my favourite models going back years. I remember the LW version well. Look forward to see what you do with this one.
Love the landing struts.
Thanks everyone.
It has been a little busy for me but here is a little more done on the underside. The landing gear is giving me trouble so I want to concentrate on getting the main hull finished then go back to it.
Hard points are just placeholders at the moment.
Latest render, I have started putting more details into the top and started some decals.
There is still a lot to do on it, but I have a clearer picture in my head about what it will look like in the end.
Looks rly nice so far, may i ask you what’s your experience on using Blender after using Maya that long ? Like how do you feel about Blender
Thanks.
I started modeling with Lightwave then did an animation course in Maya. It was good for animating at that time but I still preferred Lightwave for building models. I haven’t really used Maya since after I graduated. And the cost to buy it was too much for me.
When I got some work experience in a studio it was all with lightwave so I stuck with that.
But since then I haven’t done much 3d work.
Starting in Blender once I got used to the controls and how everything is set up I really enjoy it. I feel the nondestructive side with the modifiers is really good. You can easily change anything without having to rebuild the mesh, which I was having to do with lightwave.
I just wanted to say, as a long-time fan of this model, it’s extremely exciting to see it being worked on again!
Thanks, I hope I can get it finished soon. I have been busy lately so I haven’t had much time to build it.
This is the latest render.
The Materials could use a bit more love, but wow impressive work!
Yeah I haven’t really touched the materials yet. The blue and red parts are all I have really done. I also have to add a bunch more decals too. But it still needs a but of modelling on the underside and a few more details until I get to work on the materials.
I started on some decal panel lines, looks ok so far. It is getting there, but I wish there were more hours in the day to work on it.
It has been a while, This is the latest, most of the outside details are complete and I am working on the cockpit at the moment. Then final clean up, materials and decals.
Still working on this slowly while learning more about blender.
I have started to UV map it so I can texture it properly. Then it will just need more of the cockpit completed then proper textures and decals before it is finished.
Is their somewhere we can get cool this model
Sorry, it is for personal use.
I haven’t finished it quite yet, I still have textures to sort out. I am learning substance for that purpose. I also moved onto another model for now, but I will be going back to it later.
