Battlestar Galactica 1978 First Battlestar Galactica

Hello to all. I've been a member for a few weeks, posting in the forums, and I felt it was time to display some artwork. This is my first ever BSG work, I've mostly done Star Trek with a little Star Wars here and there. I wasn't sure exactly what the prerequisites were for BSG work as I haven't seen the show for a while, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with some Vipers, some planets and a few effects.

Since I have an old computer and the Viper mesh by H. Gibbons renders up quite quickly (and is a beautiful mesh) I chose it for my first piece. Everything is rendered in tS with a little work on the backdrop done in Universe. I converted this mesh myself from the original LW format as opposed to using the one already converted to tS because I wanted the textures.



I plan to do some more art after I convert a few more models for my use. (and decide exactly which Galactica I'm going to use )

Update: I changed the image credits to spell H. Gibbens' name correctly.

Great concept "Evil"! Which program did you use? I tried downloading some of the BSG meshes, but so far I'm unable to access this area. I e-mailed one of the mods, but no help yet. I'd love to see more of your art!

Even though it says you need 5 posts, for some reason, I wasn't able to download until I had 11. I use good old trueSpace 3.2 (the best free program in my book)

Cool

Another little pic. It's amazing that I've been using this program for several years and still can't figure out how the darn motion blur works. Oh well, they're not using their boosters I guess

One thing I noticed about classic Galactica was that the Vipers were always outnumbered by at least a 2-1 ratio, so I put a few friends pursuing the Vipers in this one.
