Strix Division Fortress VTOL
polycounter lvl 4
Hey Polycount,
Long time no see! The last time I was here I was making a ship, (it originally began as a VTOL but due to critique the direction changed) this time I stayed more true to its original intention
The idea with this one was that, it was designed to enter the battlefield in the most difficult of situations be it vicious weather or under direct fire, and drop off or Evac troops in the most complicated of places. The front is heavily Armored with no access or windows to the pilots, The pilots sees through an array of camera's allowing them to fly directly into the direction of fire head first. This version has no weapons as it is built strictly for transportation to and from the designated target. There are also private civilian ones for a price.
All critique is welcome as I'm looking to improve! and any questions feel free to ask Thanks for taking a look!
This was all SubD Modelled in Maya and Rendered in Keyshot
For anyone wondering about scale,
Super secret Owl
Nerd fact: Strix is a genus of Owl, i like owls, hence the strix division assigned to some of my projects and this is the figure that shows when the hdri is turned off in the render just above it, the lights of the ship and lasers form this.

I would love to see the material graph you used for the bottom of the hull - that dirt stuff on the gif
There's honestly no magic,
its a metal rough black (you can see i used it 4 times because the other textures were colour variations of that) and it just has a texture plugged into the roughness. no cavity or any other more complex stuff was needed.
The material is from "Overlays Collection 2" on gumroad which can be found here. Its great for a base

This was a redshift test as I envisioned it with volumetrics but Keyshot 8 wasn't out yet and I found redshift to be noise free in less time aswell!
It was relatively easy to get it working which was nice!
