Thanks everyone! I'm currently working on an MD workflow tutorial for these ships @sziada - Used Vray for the rendering @genwu - 32 gig Ram, 3.20 GHZ CPU, 64bit win7, GeForce GTX titan
Thanks guys :) @fearian 95% of the work is done in Marvelous Designer. I use Zbrush mostly for micro tweaking and decimating the mesh down to more manageable poly levels. I use soft selection in Max to deform the MD results to fit in the shapes on the ship.
