WIP Cowboy Bebop Swordfish II

ShockQuartz

Thought I would give a serious attempt at my first vehicle. This ship is from the old anime Cowboy Bebop.

I would love some feed back on what you all think. I want to add more detail but my comp craps out at 1 mil poly =(

MattQ86

Really great work, I would have recognized this immediately even without the thread title. It will be interesting to see where you go with the low poly.

ShockQuartz

Thanks, Yea I have been thinking about doing the low poly but as of right now I have only done one normal bake before so I am a bit iffy on it. Oh forgot to mention time table on this high poly was around 18 hours.

Alex3d

Yeah your high poly looks great man! Definitely do a bake on low poly version and texture it. What software are you using that your comp starts to cramp? Try zBrsuh

I'm using Max 2010. I shouldn't say craps out but the view port bogs down so bad that I can't zoom in on the model to place or move objects around. My computer is about 6 years old and in need of some love. I do have a brand new laptop though and just installed max 2012 so maybe that'll fix my issues.

My absolute favorite anime! I would say the edges on the back thruster looks a little rounded, and not as sharp as they should.

Other than that this is looking great. I am really looking forward to you putting some textures on this!

I suppose those are the cheap missiles? :P

Looking spot on in my book. Good work.

I agree, I'm thinking of reworking the back end. I wasn't happy with it and your statement confirms what I was thinking. Thanks for the input

Thank you, yeah lol I was hesitant to add the missiles. Only one episode did they show them on it. They may or may not make it to finished product depending on how lazy I get lol. Thanks for the input.

ShockQuartz

OK, quick update. I reworked the back end based on wester's comment. Let me know what ya think.
