Modified T-47 Snowspeeder

Korann

Hello polycount, this is my first post here !

I've been working on this guy for the past few weeks on my spare time. Here is my progress on the HP. I don't plan to go further on the modeling part and do the rest of the details on the normal map with nDo.



C&C welcome, of course.

Korann

Shameless bump. I'm working on the UV's right now. More coming soon !

Jarran

This is crazy good! Always feel awkward judging on better work than my own but the only things I can say is that the wings/some of the panels feel very bland. Could do with rivets or breaking up somehow. Unless ,of course, if you're gonna do this in the textures

Sammy101

Awesome man, can't wait for the bake.

Korann

Thank you guys !

Exactly my plan. This ship is full of small flat details, especialy on the wings. Modeling them would be a nightmare so I will do them in nDo instead.

Saying that, I've done the baking of the main part. Cockpit will follow later. I also strated the nDo pass.

Korann

Baking and nDo pass done. Working on the textures right now. I think most of the main part is done. Now I need to focus on the cockpit and on the glass.



Feedbck greatly appreciated !

Looks amazing man! top notch work

Shrike

looking nice, it is very evenly interesting tho , no real focal point, but that probably changes when you add the window details and such

considering it appeared in a snow world, a winter HDRI would be more appropriate, or maybe some hangar studio setup

3dReaper

Looks damn good!

Would look interesting to see a panel ripped open with some wires/pipes visible with burn marks. Could add a bit of visual interest as Shrike mentioned.

BobtheGreatII

Wow, looks great. Always loved the Snowspeeder.

Korann

Thank you everyone ! Yes it still wip. I'm planning to add a few more blaster impact on the wing to break up the symetry.

I work with various HDRi all the time to be sure that the model works in every lighting. In the end there will be a winter HDRi but it's quite hard to find a good one. (maybe someone know where to find some ?)

Rysk

Great looking work Korann. I have a couple questions. Are your UV's totally unique or do you have parts overlapping to get more res? Also, how much time do you think you've put into this project so far?

Thanks in advance and again props on a sweet looking piece.

Korann

Thank you. To answer your first question: not that much. This little boy is really flat so if i used symetry on the wing for example, it will be obvious. So I did symetry on less intressting parts like the inside of the air break on the cockpit (wich is using a other texture set).

For your second question: I spent way too much time on this. Especialy on the modeling part, trying to match the original ship. And it's not even worth it because the parts wich have the highest level of detail are the less visible ones.

Rysk

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply. I'm currently a student so trying to see how people are going about making things is really helpful

wenglish

this thing is super detailed, where did you get ref?

Fwap

*slow clap* well done, very very well done.

ross185

Looks awesome man! I was just wondering if you had any wireframe renders of it and possible maps? would be interesting to see the layout of your UV's and polycount

Thanks!

Ross

Korann

Thanks again everyone ! Sorry for the late post I'm pretty busy at work.

Lawless Flogic : just here http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=2580 ! Looks like there is a ton of ref for other spaceships. I should take a look.

ross185 : Here you go. It's 30k with the cockpit. 20k without it.




I'm not really happy with my packing but whatever, it's too late now. The model looks fine in 2k if I don't look too close (a.k.a ingame view) but I will keep it in 4k for rendering.

Korann

Hi everyone ! New update. I stopped working on the textures and started making test on the composition and the lighting. I still need to work on the macro variation on the texture and texturing the cockpit. Tell me what you think !

Shrike

looks nice , but the colors feel not right, its very warm light and the background hdri dosnt have it. in northern / cold areas the sunlight is a lot colder

try out the "color lookup (CS6 and up) > crisp winter look" in photoshop, feels a lot more natural

color grading is always allowed ; )

Spiffy

That UV though,that seams ridiculously easy to get lost in and a mine field of normal map artifacts.

Looks good though, the only critique I have is that the edges seem really sharp/tight but I guess that is classic StarWars style.

Sage

awesome work man!!! make some at at

JustGarry

@Shrike Agreed on the lighting the cool colours really suit it.

Great job overall, fantastic texturing work and the nostalgia factor makes it even better

Kurobot

Sehr gut !

Korann

Shrike : Getting this warm feeling was my intention. I wanted to go for something different than the mood we have in the movies. But your suggestion makes it look way better so I take it. Thank you !

Spiffy : I used ddo to texture it and only did some adding by hand so it's not a problem for me. What do you mean by "mine field of normal map artifacts" ? I didn't had any. I use uv layout packing everyday at work and never get any troubles.

Sage : I wish I had time for it but I really need a break from this .

JustGarry : I know what you mean. Re-watching The Empire Strikes Back again got me. Thanks again for all your feedbacks !

So just a little progress to show the new post-processing pass according to Shrike suggestion.

Korann

Hi everybody ! Here are the final shots for the speeder. Let me know what you think !

Spoon

Very sexy!

Vendetti

dayum!

Kurobot

The radiators are very hot.

Korann

Hey guys !

I'm upping this post from the oblivion. I remade the texture in Substance Painter 2 and also remade some more polished presentation shots.





Cheers !
