DeSanto Bridge Concept...
 

Well i started it. I rebuilt the bottom section of the original Galactica bridge section to use as a guide from the blueprints. It's really early but for those that wanted to see this come to life it has begun. Stay with me, it may take me a while to flesh it out. Here's the first prelimary renders. Nothing special but it's a start.

Enjoy.

I wish i could get a hold of the design specs since the bridge set was being built in Canada at the time. I only have the slide show material to work with so i'll probably put my own spin on a few things.

;)

...hmp. 'nudder project started without a previous more important one finished... :P:

Dude!

I only can move so fast on the G. When i run out of specs i have to wait until i, ahem, aquire more.

;)

Why didn't you quote the :P: , dagnab it! :P: :P: :P: :hack:

Don -

I don't know what Darrell means by "other projects", but it looks like this one is off to a good start....!

Bryan

:cylon:

Bryan, he wants me to finish the holy grail. The Galactica model that i've been working on recently. Well he's a big kidder but i'm trying to nail down some more measurements before i can continue.

I've been studying the DeSanto bridge here and thought i'd take a crack at it. We'll see how it fleshes out.

;)

Projects, as in plural.

I'm stil lawaiting EITHER cetain models and a scene file so I can render it myself, or the renders themselves for sumtin' I want to do to the front page, which we discussed before ;)

Eep!

Looks for rock to hide behind!

Ow! Hey I was here first! Watch out, here comes Darrell! :duck:


Good first step.

Darrell is moving to his Nevada condo rock soon!

So the LA Rock is mine!

:D

If I get to talk to Tom I will see if I can get you a set of blueprint and design specs from him.

Jim :thumbsup: :D

Wow! And you better finish this else I'm going to give you a Chinese Burn mister! ;)

Great stuff, I think I'm going to have a bit of a weep now.

Peter, save the weeping till after i'm finished.

;)

Titon, if ever there is a Galactica continuation movie. you NEED to be the visual effect supervisor on it. Or play some role in making the pre-vis FX for it.

I mean everytime i come here to CF, i see new CGI work you've done. Where do you find the time man?

Sorry for going overboard and such. But you sure put the spark of inspiration in a guy who just happens to like the old BG series is all.

:thumbsup:

Ah, understanding the plan, he is.

:)

That's what it's all about and we have the easy part, we just get to sit and admire all this beautiful artwork!

:)

KJ, thanks for that. It's much appreciated.

If there is ever a post i'd like to sticky to this site it's yours. This is what fleets is evolving into and what i want it to be all about.

As far as me being in the fx dept. if a continuation ever happens i'd be most honored. Time will tell.

The time is something that is hard to come by. I should have this bridge fleshed out by now but havne't gotten any farther than what you see. But i will promise that i will do my hardest to get it done in the near future.

Thanks again folks

;)

Really if your skills are better now than they were 3 years ago when you made that kickass Millenia movie (unfinished by the way?) then a detailed Tom DeSanto concept Guy Dyas Galactica bridge would be classic.

And mouth watering.

And if i were you, i'd do it, finish it. print it out in hi-res onto a large sheet like a film poster.

Take to the Superman Returns premiere next year and wave over Bryan Singer and Guy Dyas saying: We haven't forgotten, nor will we forget your efforts for trying to present an epic BG continuation!

Since i seen alot of stars at premieres, thats exactly what i'd do!

Yep, cos in truth. i really should be getting along with plans in my own life and settle down doing my art. i really need to invest time in doing my own portfolio of art designs, sketches, inking art panels, black and white comics etc. If i want to get anywhere in life. Maybe one day i'll give 3D CGI designs a go. But i'd have to go down an venue i know first hand, before i branch out so soon.

Still, inspirational stuff man. your workload speaks for itself, you don't need me to tell you that anyways. but it did. ;)

Do you plan on doing all the Guy Dyas stuff?

Perhaps a little Vincent Guastini 'Cylon designs' thrown in for good measure too.

And even the badass Eric Melson 'Cylon' from Richard Hatch's Galactica trailer!

Meh...a few suggestions.

:) :thumbsup:
