High Poly Battlestar

[Jammydodger]

getting better all the time
Wish I could model like you :dozey:

 

[SidewinderX]

that second render is amazing!

 

[clarky003]

Jammy your wish is my command, im going to construct a tutorial tomorrow , while I construct the docking arms and the pods. it'll be a lengthy tutorial so it could take me a day or 2,

 

[clarky003]

again didnt take aslong as I first thought , its a quick Tutorial, basically on how I did, and How You can construct your own support arm, for this ship or otherwise. I hope you find it useful. Its just I find weapon modelling quite stiff. and I dont think thats the way it should be. I prefer it more spontanious and creative. These programs do fantastic things. I mean..? why just render guns.. why not something complex and intresting.. lol. rant.. here u are guys..

 

[clarky003]

and the parts for the Arm,

 

[Brian Damage]

Cool tutes, dude.

 

[Jammydodger]

Wooohoooo!
Cheers m8 I could do with some help

 

[IchI]

hehehe, its looking wicked m8. Keep it up

 

[clarky003]

the Docking arms finished

 

[Razor]

I agree Fenric, it would be nice to, but at the end of the day with a bit of learning how hard is it to make your own blueprint model, its really a piece of pie to set the blueprints up,. sorry Razor cant do. but I can put a tutorial together on a certain section of the Gallactica. if you would all like that,

Don't worry, i understand. Could you send me the jpegs then of the blueprints, i am just wanting to do it for fun and perhaps do a Base Star as well.

 

[GOoch]

Realy nice tutes m8.

Ive just descovered through reading one of the tutes one thing ive been dooing wrong in one of my models nice one m8

clarky003 nice work with this comunity m8. realy appreciate it

 

[clarky003]

np Gooch, glad I could help out

 

[kayjay]

The model is coming along very nice. Keep up the great work!

 

[st0lve]

clarky, go and get a job as a 3D modeler!!!
Your the best! Very very nice model!

 

[Brian Damage]

clarky, did you ever say if you were doing work on any mods? I forget.

 

[Shinobi]

damn, that's really starting to look nice, I couldn't really see the big picture in the earlier pics since I also haven't seen battlestar galactica (/me runs away) but it's REALLY coming together

 

[GOoch]

Clarky pm m8...!

 

[clarky003]

update, Ive been able to make the Pods retract and open, like the actual Battlestar :rolling: .

Swish, keep at it mate, this is one of the more interesting threads right now, and I need something to read and cool pics to look at when im on a break

 

[clarky003]

thanks Fenric, Ill keep you guys updated as soon as possible.

 

[Brian Damage]

Now, that's odd. Is that how it is in the show? It looks like they'd interfere with each other inside the ship's hull when retracted.

So, are you working on any mods?

 

[clarky003]

not working on any mods, im trying for a job at Eidos, if you look carefully, they dont interfere , the arm has two sections, the support moves back into the base section which then locks, and they then move back into the ship., , like a box being pushed inside a larger box, being pushed back into a larger one, if I didnt do this you could see it come out of the otherside of the ship in the pics, basic mechanics really

 

[Brian Damage]

Ooooo.... hope you get the job.

I think I see what you mean on the arms...

 

[st0lve]

You should get the job at Edios!

 

[GOoch]

the door mech looks realy nice m8

Good look with Eidos m8.

 

[Jammydodger]

clarky have you finished the tut you where working onfor the model ? if you have any chance i cant get my hands on it?
Cheers m8 :thumbs:

 

[clarky003]

update , havnt done too much lately, been too busy doing other stuff. but i managed to get round to building the engines.

 

[IchI]

sweeeeetttt.. looks better by the minute good work m8.

 

[GOoch]

bloody hell thats looking realy good m8

 

[Razor]

Clarky, are you going to be adding the little flak cannons for it and are you going to be building the Vypers?

 

[clarky003]

Flak Cannons, yes, and a friend of mine wants me to do a Vyper, so eventually , Yes

 

[Brian Damage]

This is looking bloody brilliant.

 

[the_prodigy]

{Flipping} sweet. You should texture it properly and make an animation . That would be great. Btw, whatever happened to the combine assassin ? Have you made a body for it yet ?

 

[Maxi]

Very nice work clarky!

 

[clarky003]

unfortunately Prodigy, the hard drive it was on became corrupt, ( an 8 gig temp drive).. I was just playing around when it came to the assasin, but Ill probably make up for it and end up making a HL2 Gunship.. which I hear is completely made from metal, even though parts look organic, should be good practice

 

[clarky003]

very soon my friend , ive got a few sketch's of stuff ive done, could do that i guess. ill post a sketch up of inspired designs

 

[Razor]

Oooh, I can't wait to see the gunship, although, to be honest, I'd much rather see something you create yourself from the depths of your imagination. All the 3rd party stuff is very cool/impressive, but I'd love to see something completely fresh.

And when is more of the Battlestar coming?

If i manage to find the blueprints that Clarky is using, i was going to make a fleet of ships i.e. customized version of the Battlestar. One have no hanger but large cannons on the top and bottom, etc.

 

[clarky003]

Razor ill post the blueprints up in a while, when I can get back onto the main computer, cause there on there

Thankyou . My one probably won't be as good as your one though .

 

[clarky003]

well you can have a good go at it dude.
