Okay, I had my doubts from the earlier renders, but that last one won me over.

Very pretty.

 

Needs ominous backlighting.

 

Looking awesome so far! I still think it's coming across as small though, gotta get all that detail in there. You should talk to Fig, he knows people.

 

I completely agree the scale is too small.

 

a

 

that's odd. I probably shouldn't be able to bump a thread this old.

 

I'm guessing this is based on the new show?

 

correct

 

That is fantastic. (Most images in posts are html lines.)

That is one of The Best Baseship Models(reimagined) I have seen.
(Am from TOS era, but times change)

Nice Job.

Will you release this model?

I have noticed it seems at Scifi 3d and SciFi meshes some uploads have disappeared.
One in particular I used to have was the Scorpia Shipyards, but it is no longer around and lost the model somehow.








I am currently making a BSG Fan film, still in wip phase,

Great work.. What are your plans for it?

 

I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with it right now. I had considered releasing it publicly, but after having handed it off to about dozen or so people, some 3 or 4 months ago .. I haven't seen a single render or animation use it (other than my own***). So I'm less inclined to go through the trouble of releasing it at this point.

This is just about all it's been used for so far, and I hadn't really even finished it at the time***

 

Well, I think it certainly deserves a spot on the Scifi3d board, Foundation3d and SciFi meshes also.



I would most definitely play with it and very much put it in my BSG vids.
And liked that clip


hey, while I am here, check this out.... it is what I am currently trying to create....


Please check Quality of Video

I may consider a provisional release of the basestar.. not sure yet.

 

In the mean time though, I've been playing with LightWave's bullet dynamics

 

yeah, I am just beginning to understand myself.

C4d R13 though makes things a lot simper,easier, ,when you figure it all out..

CHeers,
