Hi guys is this the right section?
Hope so
After a loong time im working on something i am personally proud of.
This ship is the most complex and most satisfying thing i've done up to date.
Maybe it doesn't look so good, but i've made it all myself.
I make sketches, i made perspective concept, and im working on high poly
right now.
Below are pictures


I made a rough sketch, just forms which i filled with cutout images of real world spaceships and parts of nasa ships.

Then i refined it










I hope this is worth sharing! Im going to finish it full cycle with PBR in the end.
Let me know what you think!

I like the design, its cool to see that you designed it yourself. Keep up the good work!

Progress on engines.

Guys can you suggest some techniques on creating low poly from such meshes?


Right now im traversing highpoly exploding parts making lowpoly for them.
Am i doing it right?

It looks good so far.. Try not to put too many loops and some meshes can be individual pieces thats all.

Best of luck! Not like you will be needing it.. It looks so good it seems like it makes it's own!

Wow dude, looks awesome! Seeing this just gives me inspiration but I feel I'm not that good yet. I'm always trying to create my own designs but my lack of drawing skill holds me back from getting the design from my head onto paper. Really envious that you (and many others) have that ability.

But anyway, keep up the work, looks absolutely fantastic, can tell you have spent a lot of time on this.

Thanks guys!

Oh man, some sweeet modelling over here.
Can't wait to see it textured.

It looks to me that your working in 3DSMax. Well, it applies to Maya as well, but when I`m modeling the HP stuff, I always keep my modifier stack intact/I don't delete the history so I can go back easily and remove the HP details to get my low poly.

If you find that you can't really get a LP out of your HP then just go ahead and quickly box model out a new LP. Make sure to get the silhouette right and let the normal map take care of the small details.

This will look craaazy once you set up the entire PBR process. Can't wait

Great job so far. Reminds me of the spaceship that was on toonami.

guys applying material colors for pbr is so tedious it takes longer than retopo and unwrap combined but almost done
