Heh Never mind the wings! they rock, but the head =\ Looks almost sticked on... hehe

Cos it is basically LOL I'll be working that to be more attached... kinda braced struts etc....

Cheers!

That stuff on your website makes my jaw feel slightly detached... whoops, looks like it just fell to the floor. Holy shit, man. Your stuff is incredible.

Thanks man!

They look cool, but wings are not very well adjusted to space flight as far as I can remember.

Wings techncally would make little or no difference in space, but it could be that the wings work to provide the off centre gravimetric force for manouverability... plus it is supposadly capble of atmospheric flight by gravimetric aid. Additionally, and to some dgree more importantly, the more threatening a war cruiser looks the better... to instill fear in enemies.

Cheers!

Hey Clark. Didn't know you came over here.

Nice work as always.

Thanks man. I haven't been here for a while now... I guess you frequent another board that I visit also?

Cheers!

Infogatari community ;)

I am also from the Evil Armadillo forums.

Yeah, I drop in the forums now and again, sometimes my website traffic stats shows hits originating from the ina forums. Its mainly the art related posts I look at.

The VOrchan is due for heavy rework, as a source from FI who made the orignal has highlighted to me how far off my proportions are, so a large part of the model will be rebuilt ver son :/

Cheers!

Latest update of the rebuilt model:

Other than that small artifact at the head it is rather amazing work :) Texture it!

Thanks, that artifact is because I only have one global smoothing angle applied so far. Texturing will come soon enough, geometry needs finishing first :)

As expected, didn't think an experienced person like you could just leave such an obvious artifact there :P I suppose you have more things planned for the wings?

I'm sure he does, they look sort of bland, maybe make some sort of flaps visible, like on jets, but its for space.. hrmm, like missils that rise out of the wins, or maybe 2 big ass lasers.

Food for thought :X

Anyway, awesome work, my dream in life is to do stuff like this (for movies/games/shits and giggles)

If you dont mind me asking, is LW a freeware program, i dont really remember, but im pretty sure it costs quite a bit? (I'll google this badboy right now)

It's most defnately NOT freeware, in fact, it's roughly $1600.

Cheers.

That looks oddly familiar to the VORCHA class klingon battlecruiser. It just looks more 1337 and has that added third wing. Hey tell me if ya ever make a K'tinga class vessle. Or my favorite, the Sovereign class enterprise!!! :D good job

Actually, although LW isn't freeware per'se, you can download a free 'enterprise' edition (smaller res render saving, but it's all there features wise).

You were close, its not a Vorcha from Star Trek, but a VORCHAN from B5 (Centauri). The wings are plain, but then they are supposed to be, I have considered adding radar/sensor bulges maybe.

Getting there, not far to go on geometry.
