ISS Cupola

Kobalt Kiwii

Hey everyone,

Working on the Cupola of the ISS for a friend's short film, just done the first bake, need to get the rest of the high poly stuff modelled and baked for Friday, trying to work out where to go with it texture-wise as The ISS is quite current in appearence and my friend is thinking near future so maybe making it a bit cleaner and more futuristic this is where its at atm.

Current ISS


Cleaner scifish




I need to work out how much to distress it, sticker it and all that

If you have any crit it would be great to hear

I sculpted the leather for the surrounds and have blocked out the remaining props that need to be made and then I'll be working on the materials... still haven't decided which colour scheme to go with.

I'm digging the "cleaner sci-fi" look, I think it blends in better with the rest of the stuff in the shot.

Kobalt Kiwii

That stuff still needs to be baked and textured hopefully tonight! after that is done I have a feeling that it will fit better with the blue version

Kobalt Kiwii

update on the extra stuff,



still havent decided on colour scheme.

Kobalt Kiwii

got the albedo for the extras blocked in and started thinking about lighting in marmoset

This is really cool, I found that reference and really wanted to model this scene too, but haven't found the time. I'm really glad to see someone doing it justice.

It would be nice to see even more stuff floating around there, whenever I look at space station references like this one thing I notice is how much junk is everywhere.

Cheers EarthQuake, More clutter is definately needed but first the materials need a lot of work. Trying to think of cool stuff to have floating about and playing about with Marmoset render settings might need an image of the earth behind the window...

EarthQuake

Yeah distant earth is a good idea.

From the ref: DSLR camera, random bits of cloth floating or attached to various bits, more bars tubes and wires, labels/tape/notes. Other ideas: notepad and pen, space food.

Update on materials still lots to do and some stuff I want to go back into... the glass is the next thing on my agenda I think

Benkeeling

Kit this is the stuff that will get you a job, keep going

Kobalt Kiwii

Cheers Ben! I'm thinking maybe one of the water bottles with droplets of water around it and a flannel that was used to wash the windows. I was going to put some nice smears on the gloss of the glass anyway so that could tie it in nicely. I also really like the idea of a notepad and pen attached with string hmm...

Kobalt Kiwii

Bit of a spot the difference type update didn't get to the glass yet

Deathstick

It's like kerbal space program, but for humans :O

Awesome stuff

Kobalt Kiwii

More minor detail update lots of things to do

Stirls

Those blurred out regions in the window: are those stars or grime? Either way toning it down a tad might be in order. Really love this though. Following this post.

I applied some crit given to me by some guys at Creative Assembly, I'm hoping it moved in the right direction, if you have any advice I'd love to hear it cheers everyone!

I really like how this is progressing. May I ask what you're using to render?

Kobalt Kiwii

Marmoset all the way! wanted to make sure I knew both methods of pbr, so this is using spec/gloss and everything else I've been doing is Metal/Rough. can't get the logo to render but will put it on there for the final image

Kobalt Kiwii

Calling it a day for a while methinks... still couldnt get the marmoset watermark to render

Hi,

For a small render (dont need that much precision), I'm looking for the exact actual shape of the Cupola.
I would love a reference to a technical drawing of this ISS module.

As some seems to have done a great job modelling it, they likely could get some references about this (that I still couldnt find).

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
