reworked Viper mk 1

[HercDestin]

Howdy,
Decided to go back and redo the viper. I wasn#t happy with the old one I had done, so here it is. I still want to put a few dink and scapes on it................but it is pretty much done. The engine effect is animated and took me a while to get it to the point it is. Still some textruing to do as well. Thought you would like to the progress so far. Credit must go to Karl Stoker ( pixeltek ) for his mesh. I replaced the two bottom engine pods and added some extra details. The cockpit is also almost done and had to be reworked in order for it to fit. Comments welcome. hoooo wahhh!

I love the weathering on the Hull .... something I really must start Learning to do soon myself .. I have to get photoshop someday . all the best lesson's are in photo shop that I can see ...

I particularly like the engine effect and the engines themselves ... I think Carl would be delighted see what you have done ..... :)

Thanks buddy. I really appreciate your comments. For me I thinnk it looks cool, even though it is a bit away from the original. Im setting up an animation as I write with the big Gal and a few vipers leaving a planetary system. Been reading a lot of what zoic has been doing with there renders and will include a few helpful hints from them as well. Even though I have done some hot space animations in the past, each time I look back and think....................man, I can do so much better.......................and you know..................... I do. Thats the great thing about this work. It always gets better and better with each job. I will keep ya posted. Oh................and about that MARK 2 VIPER MESH. Im hoping to get a reply from the forums. If ya have any luck let us know. thanks again :)
