Scorpio Warship

Wiktor

Hello! Been a while since I posted anything here, so I thought I'd make a post of my current project. I created the highpoly based on a concept by Chee Ming Wong a while back for an article for 3D Artist Magazine. I then found it again a few weeks back and thought I'd make a lowpoly for it and texture it.

This is what I have right now:

NEW



OLD




Modeled in Maya, detail pass with nDo2 and rendered in Marmoset.
I was trying to go for the Star Wars look, but the color scheme isn't 100% decided yet though.

Please let me know what you think!

Cheers!

Very nice. I definitely do like the Star Wars scheme.

I dig it, a lot! Cool design. Some small crits;

What I assume is the cockpit canopy at the top isn't really obvious. Perhaps make it shinier/more reflective than the rest of the surrounding area?

The model could maybe use a few more warning stickers, placards, etc.

I'm not really getting a sense of scale from it at the moment, (other than what the cockpit gives), maybe the placards might help that?

Not sure how low poly you were looking to go, but I see some areas where you could shave off quite a few by using intersecting or less detailed geometry; namely the big cylinder in the back or the raised area that the cockpit sits on.

This is badass though, I really like it!

I like it a lot. The colors are fine, perhaps a more yellowy/beige color instead of the green? Would be cool if you could show the concept aswell.

Wiktor

Thanks for the feedback InvertedVantage! I really appreciate it. Will definitely see what I can do about the scale.

@Pierate: Absolutely, will try it! I was trying to find the concept, but couldn't at first. After some more googling I managed to find an article with the concept in it.

I've added some stuff of my own in this revision and changed some stuff, like the cannon at the back.

Mmm sexy! Nothing to critique besides the fact I wouldn't have known that was a Star Wars color scheme if you didn't mention it. Still like it though

Thanks! Ah, I might make it more beige/tan. Either that or make the main color darker. I dunno, will play around with it.

Rhoutermans

really liking the colors and the plates look great. Can't really give a crit, have fun finishing it

Wiktor

Alright, reworked the texture a bit and made stuff more defined.
I also added some more small detail both in the normal map (thanks ndo2) and in the diffuse. Such as decals for scale reference.

Here's what I have so far:


Please let me know what you think!

Damn I love the recurring circular elements. Sexy stuff!

Wiktor

Thank you! Glad you like it!

I like it, but to be honest I think the colour scheme needs a lot of work. Everything seems to have an equal amount of detail, and the colours aren't helping break that up really. It's kind of hard to explain... For example, the gribbly bits on the engine are cool, but I would take away the white armour.

Texture and material definition is great though, just work on breaking up your values and colours better so theres some rest area

Inspiring! I'd love to see some maps!

SuadK

Awesome Wiktor!! Is this your own concept aswell? great job as usual:)

Wiktor

@Selaznog: Thanks! I'll definitely see what I can do about the color scheme. I agree with you that it might be a bit too much on the eyes.

@OtrickP: I'll post them as soon as I'm done! Thanks!

@SuadK: Thank you! No, the concept was made by Chee Ming Wong.

Fantastic textures - maps would be delicious...
