Not had a lot of time lateley but at last ive got some models together for a short star wars special effects film im working on, im going to recreate the death star trench scene.

xwing

star destroyer
 

stardestroyer

star destroyer

they all look really good except can i see a different angle of the star destroyer as it looks alittle small

Looking sweet! Good to see another northwester here!

Could you post up some wires?

I will post up some stuff soon, after all we have to get up to somthing when it never stops raining!

oh wow - nice models. i particularly like the falcon - very cool.

he's just showing us half of the model from the front - i thought the same thing at first. :)

Wires
 

Here are the wires theyre all rendered low poly

Xwing

Sar Destroer whole

TIE Fighter

I know they're a work in progress, and so far nice job.

My first crits are that I think Falcon Cockpit windows need to be bigger, at the moment they are way too small, the X- Wing is a little shiny and dirty and the TIE fighter is too shiny as well, check reference of these vehicles.

The Y Wing is looking great so far

otherwise nice overall

Jay

In that case a very nice star D
really like the falcon

Thanks guys

Spec maps only mocked up so far and falcon needs desaturating cause its a bit pink

Dude THAT IS AWESOME
 

I am very impressed, I am somewhat new to Maya, I go to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and Have seen some pretty good 3d stuff nedless to say...But really this stuff looks great..Can't wait to see it finished!!!
Brady

thanks a lot

i am self taught and i think people like me are prone to take it and leave it, but when i do put stuff up for crit it allways gives me a boost , and ive had some early stuff ravaged! but just the interest of people taking the time to add their piont of view makes the sense of a community out their come back to life, and really gets me into it again, lets face it we all need a bit of encouragment, especialy if you have to get up at 5am, to have a couple of hours before work and the kids!
so cheers

Been doing some more work on the falcon texture, bit less pink and i made the windows bigger, so thanks for the suggestion

next onto the y wing

xwing texture toned down slightly

Death Star Trench, this is gonna be a pain to light

nice! let's see a wire and a look at the overall model.

it looks cool. :)

VERY NICE
i cant wait to see the finised product

I love it, Good luck with it man,
Brady:beer:

Cheers guys ill try to keep this thread updated, all suggestions etc welcome

wicked work man, could you post some wires?:beer:

Most of the models look spot on to me and cannot find anything to crit appart from the falcon. It might be the angle of the render but the falcon looks like it should be slightly deeper where I have marked. If you get a render from the side though it will give a better idea. Must say though it is looking great so far and look forward to seeing it all come together.

Now you mention it...
its right tp my reff, but i think i may have to watch star wars again

nearly finished the Y wing

Finished tweaking xwing texrure..i think

Nearly finished tinkering with this one

looks good - where's me wires though? - i want to see a wire of that trench. :)

Ditto
;)

not sure whether the way ive gone about the trench is going to work so ive gone to working on the surface, and see if i get some inspiration. Im not used to modeling large scale areas so im wondering how its gonna turn out

death star surface

how long does it take you to make an individual model? say... the y-wing?

(we gonna see any a-wings, or are you just recreating the death star scene?)

very nice paldav - how you planning to texture the death star? that looks like a headache.

HI GUYS

I WORK FULL TIME SO IF I GET AN OPORTUNITY I JUST GO FOR IT, THE X WING TOOK ME UNDER A DAY, THE FALCON ABOUT FOUR DAYS THEN THE Y WING ONLY TOOK ME A DAY BECAUSE I PINCHED A LOT OF THE STUFF OFF THE FALCON TO DETAIL IT, I JUST MADE ABOUT 10 ODD SHAPED BITS THEN PLAYED WITH SCALE AND STUFF MIX AND MATCH. TEXTURING THOUGH THAT CAN BE AS LONG AS YOU WANT.

My death star scene may end up being a mix between a new hope and return of the jedi, so if the going gets tough i will just make more models because that bits easier

The death star is just gonna be procedural with key bits being bumpped, i might try to do an ambiant occ map as well,

any suggestions on this one very welcome!

i decided to redo the death star trench, it was too chunky before.

awesome i can't wait to see this finish, great work.
