Donny's Non-Trek Stuff

[Tallguy]

You have him now.

Preview of the finished x1. Gonna do a final texture pass on it in the morning and then take final renders!

Oh man, that's beautiful!

 

[Donny]

Here's the final shot! Really happy with how both of these turned out. And they were an ultimate test of my greeble patience. I'm ready for a greeble break!

 

[Donny]

And here's some shots of the "Death Star Assault Squadron", consisting of Vader's TIE, Black 2, and Black 3.

If you wanted to take a greeble break now would be a good time to learn Babylon 5, because Minbari fish-ships would be a great segway. Plus it would get you started on organic shapes.

Or you could do one of the mom cal cruisers I suppose. But then you would have a reason to check out B5

 

[cardinal biggles]

The various Naboo ships from the prequels don't have a lot of greebles, and then you get to play around with chrome plating and reflections every damn place.

 

[BK613]

They look so lonely without a Death Star trench to fly down...

 

[publiusr]

Just have them strafe Starfleet Command

 

[Donny]

Got the TIEs in Unreal tonight just to check them out with scale figures and to "walk around them" in VR



The size difference between the two is really striking, as is just how tall the TIE Fighter is.

 

[Maurice]

Very cool to have that full view of the x1 hull, but I still think it's just too big a target for its role. I prefer the v1 version myself.

x1? v1?

 

[Mytran]

So...many...greebles!!!

But it does look really good

 

[Tallguy]

Are you going to make the TIEs wings fold up?

 

[David cgc]

x1? v1?

The "TIE Advanced x1" is Darth Vader's fighter from the original Star Wars. The "TIE Advanced v1" is the Inquisitors' ships from the "Rebels" cartoon, which doesn't have the big flat section in back, and has curved wings that fold in to land.

Oh. Ok. Opaque to anyone who doesn’t read up on those shows I guess.

There was also that new Outland TIE used by Moff Gideon in Mandalorian that looked like a classic TIE but more of a hybrid with folding wings (that folded out instead of in).

Polishing up an old Death Star corridor set I created about 5 years ago.

 

[Redfern]

Dayum! I expect to see David Prowse in full costume "rounding" the corner, uh, curve!

 

[Donny]

Decided to re-texture and optimize my previous E-11 Stormtrooper Blaster Rifle model from 2015, as it was one of the first projects I undertook when learning Substance Painter. This is how the blaster appeared in A New Hope, as opposed to it's later appearances. Here ya go!



















Here's an image how a Sterling submachine gun was converted into an E-11 for the film:


Here's a comparison to my 2015 model:

 

[Hunter-G]

Impressive! Most impressive!
Man walking around those things in VR would be sick

 

[Rekkert]

The old model was already great, now it's incredible!
