Firesight Ship

Rmlambert · Nov 2015

Hey guys, this is a thread for my Firesight brief. In this case I'm creating a ship, it has to be
6 2k textures / 3 4k textures and so and 60k polys limit.

This is where I am so far. Engine to add and minor details. Like joints and so on.

This is a concept I drew up and a moodboard of references.

Woke up this morning and realised I don't like the ship I created, so scrapped it lol. This is what I started today and I'm happier with it, I have more details to put in, air scoops, pipes and the back shell is incomplete atm. But just thought I'd post some progress.

Same project but this ship is a pace car for beginning of anti gravity races.

I can't really see much to complain about here, I maybe would suggest to soften the edges a bit more for the bake but even that is pretty nit picky. Design wise I might suggest taking a look at this article: http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_education/primary_secondary_and_tertiary_shapes/primary_secondary_and_tertiary_shapes.htm

Something makes me think that the primary shape is a bit too broken up, but that is extremely subjective and probably just down to my personal taste. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for having a look. I wondered whether the edges were too sharp so thanks for confirming

I'll do a softening pass before I begin baking. Thanks a lot for the link, its very useful as I struggled in the early stages when it came to design aesthetics. I'll definitely go through the rest of the website too. This was my attempt at panelling and I was trying to make it complex to push my skills so I probably went overboard. I'll see if I have time to reduce the panelling but if not I'll definitely have Big, Medium, Small in mind for future projects. Thanks!
