Finished Space Cruiser

Here's the final thing, obviously the textures could be re-done, I've just put a basic one on:

Concept:


Render:


In-Game:


If you look at the in-game version it has slight shading errors on it but very minor, I'll spend some time fixing this and / or testing it fully scaled in a space environment to see if its visible. Its only a minor thing it doesnt really affect the model, anyway feedback much apreciated!

ESCAPE POD AREA: CONCEPT

Here's my idea for the Escape Pod area:

Exterior View:


Interior view:


I did it quick in max because I still couldnt get the test map to load.

Basically the Escape Pod area is at the front of the ship, as seen in image 1. The second image shows a basic interior view which shows the "stations" side panels streching outwards. Should be very easy to implemtent and definatly adds a greater level of realism / immersion, also if you have any ideas of what to fill this front area with let me know.
At the moment its bare, i might add long poles poking down and extruded panels etc, any input would be good as i want to do this before i unwrap...

Fully Modelled Station

The model is done, all the detail is on, all it needs now is unwrapping, importing in-game and then seeing if any faces are distorted and then fixing them.



Personally I think I got it looking pretty damn good, its a tad hard to see all the detail on the side, once textured and shaded ingame will look good, it's only 4,000 tri's too.

Recorded footage of the basic level layout, to show early stages of development and to provide the matinee director with an environment to conduct their work.

Space Cruiser

Heres the Space Cruiser so far /w comparison concept!



The Side docking area was a pain in the arse to do, kept on deleting the whole ship when I was carving it, other than that all it needs is to be scaled slightly to match the concept.

FYI: not finished, still alot to be done, this is the basic model so far
