Endar Spire model in progress

Hi,

I'm trying to model the Endar Spire from the game SW Knights of the old republic.

It's my first real model but I'm already happy with how it looks

endar spire concept for the game:

oh

and it's modelled in Maya

going for the textures now

 

Looking good, you might want to add some more hull plating and detail, also add the guns on the side

 

Was already busy with that

but thanx for the idea of hull plating


oh and does anybody have an idea of making the engine glow more.....star wars engine glow???

and more reallistic?

thanx

If by "texture" you mean like the bumpyness, and shape of it, than good. I think you need to work on it being less organic, and more machine like before applying any color or patterns to it.

 

It looks like you're using Volume Lighting to do the engine glow. That's how I do it. Just make it more intense. I actually use two lights. One very bright white omni light that's attentuation is only about the width of the engine itself. The other one (color of the engine) has a slightly larger attenuation range with a less intense Volume Light glow.

 

I'm not using lighting

i'm just using a spherical object and made it with some experimentation some sort of great lamp....or thing with an glow


and yes by texturing I meant doing the rougness etc and the color etc...

thanx for the responses

i'll keep you updated

Amaising!!!

Swimmerman, Before you post spellcheck your words in google

DarthRicmu keep up the good work on the model, but the engine thing on the side is not round( in the last render, If its meant to be like that) and the whole Model seems a little too dark

 

I know that of the engine

I'm considering to remodel some parts of the model to make them more exact


but....uh why is my model to dark?


It's just normal lighting and noraml texturing.....

 

It's looking pretty good. But I still think it needs more detail. That's what gives realism to model like this - detail.

Other than that, it's good. You've got the general shape of it, and it's looking great.

 

some more detail is good... other than that, it's great

 

Dictionary.com is a better choice for spell checking certain words that you're not sure about.

 

yea the model looks great..

are you still working on it ?

i was working on a model based on the Endar spire
but i lost interest...
or forgot it and could not get back into it..
