WIP - Re-Atum

[dubeau]

Pretty much finished the details. Included some mental ray renders for the kick of it. Gonna texturing now...

 

[dubeau]

Once imported in cinema 4d and render multipass HD. Some places gonna have to redo...

 

[Kaiser]

still looks wicked awesome

 

[dubeau]

I hope my texture is good. These are the 3 main tones of the ship, with the underlying main texture. The earth colors are a reference to the egyptian name of the ship.

 

[Kaiser]

Very awesome

 

[publiusr]

Great detail work.

 

[dubeau]

Well...I won't be able to continue in Cinema4d to make the textures. Every import shows breakings at the smaller details, yet the model in 3ds is perfect. That really piss me off, because I know squat about making textures in 3dsmax. Looks like I am gonna have to learn before I finish this one...bit discouraged.

 

[dubeau]

I think I understand the principle of multi-texturing now in 3dsmax. It seemed I had a lot of trouble understanding the interface part of it. I was able to do this now, pretty close to cinema 4d.

 

[Kaiser]

lovely

 

[dubeau]

Update on texture. I had to switch to mental ray to get the glowing effect. Lots of things to correct...the geometric texture gonna disappear, the hull texture isn't fitting right....

 

[Kaiser]

she looks more more pretty with each update

 

[dubeau]

Since I change for mental ray, i changed the window's surfaces and some other stuff...

 

[Kaiser]

She looks pretty with the lights on and good shade of blue used as well

 

[dubeau]

A small update on the texturing, more later:

 

[Kaiser]

Very nice update

 

[dubeau]

This is the wings final update. Remains the engines and the under hull and some doors.

 

[Kaiser]

Cool new updates

I love how different this ship is. It look amazing. I do have some concerns about the function of the ship. Like the concave part on the top front of the saucer. It seems a waste of internal space even though it looks cool. What is the thought behind this?

 

[dubeau]

Engine lights. I had to redo the side because of corruption, but you have now a nice blue effect in place.

It's more aerodynamic. It is to concentrate the flow of free energy (Read dark matter) within the center of the ship, especially in the down saucer. It makes the ship fast in straight line but slugglish in long curve maneuver at fast speed.

What is free energy...something Tesla found long ago:
