With the end of the latest challenge looming I decided to move my thread here.
I wont be able to work on this at all for the next 2 weeks, any time I do get will be spent on my person, but im posting it now to get C&C so I can think about it I decide where im going with this

Here is my finished animation, never did find some decent royalty free music

what ive got so far on the ship is attached, im not really sure where im going to go with the texturing though, I dont want to be cartoony but I need something that looks at home in both space and the sea and I also want it to look quite futuristic

When baking AO maps should I use shadows? Without them it seems to be all white but with them I dont think it would work with animation
