Battlestar Galactica Viper (WIP)

Hayden Zammit

Thought I'd make a Viper, one of the fighter ships from the show.

Still not sure if I'm going for a high poly piece or a lower-poly, game art model. If I'm going for game art, I'd just model the high poly version first anyway, right? rather than just trying to draw a lot of the normals in Photoshop?

Here's my refs: http://media.battlestarwiki.org/images/1/1a/Viper_Mark_II_Damaged.jpg

Here's a pic of what I have so far. I'd put one in the post, but it says I can't post attachments for some reason: http://i.imagehost.org/view/0063/Capture

Off to a good start - but I think its too early to post. Get everything blocked out and ready for details

adams right. its a fantastic thing to make. make sure you dont shirk on the texture. the life ofthe vipers was in the beating they took and it mostly came out in the fantastic textures.

good luck my man

I found this rather useful when I was making the Viper.
