gmd3d · October 26th, 2006, 10:26 AM

I have it down to 650 meters .. Here is a pic with the landing bay .. the lighting set up is not great but will do for now .... the shuttle is by David Kerin

Witch i also thing is to scale ,, looks damn small in there .

skupilkinson · October 26th, 2006, 10:41 AM

gmd3d · October 26th, 2006, 10:46 AM

Man, I should've come over and checked this out sooner. She's really looking outstanding, T. Looks like the ship I remember from the original BSG.

gmd3d · October 28th, 2006, 04:25 AM

thank you my friend for the kind words .. while the fan film does not require a fully outfitted Landing bay .. I will be building up as far as possible for release . I have been think about keeping the parts in layers so that thing can be removed for increased render time ......... so I am in the middle of a creative pause

stay tuned ..

I also will release it as LW5 ..

gmd3d · November 1st, 2006, 01:13 AM

A new view with the name included

Stevew · November 1st, 2006, 04:33 AM

Beautifull "T"

gmd3d · November 1st, 2006, 05:02 AM

Much praise Steve and from you that's quite a complement from an artist like yourself

Stevew · November 1st, 2006, 05:04 AM

Thanks "T" For your first major project it simply is first cabin

gmd3d · November 1st, 2006, 05:24 AM

ahh.

I am still slowly building up to the Galactica ......
where to start
how to start

(that's one of my big worries)

gmd3d · November 2nd, 2006, 12:28 PM

Some new pictures and angles .. I have in these shots removed the Textures .. I am going to rework them ..

I hope you like these shots .

Stevew · November 2nd, 2006, 12:35 PM

Looks great "T" Perhaps some support brkts and nurneys to show more support structure on the bottom when you do the retex, you know how I love detail as long as it looks like it serves some function

S

gmd3d · November 2nd, 2006, 12:38 PM

I start work on the lower area with the Nurneys .. but they at the forward end .. I am about to work some more ..

The textures are coming slowly ..
Thanks
