Hello folks,
I'm not quite satisfied with this model I'm working on. Every major part is
planned to have a logical function on a shuttle (such as engine, fuel tank,
cargo box, entrance, cockpit). But I doubt it looks really clear on the
model right now, and I'm not sure the overall impression will improve just
by adding more details.
Every direction I move in from now will take a lot of time, so I'm
interested in your advice. How would you go on from this point? Should I
change something, or just go on? I plan to add a few windows to give a sense
of scale (it's a small and compact ship) and coloring some major parts could
clarify some components. Finally I'll try to add textures with finer
details, but I guess I shouldn't rely on them to 'repair' a flawed basic
design, or the upper level of details... What's your first impression of
this design?
Ehm, yeah the model is mostly polygon-modelled in Wings3D and rendered with
POV of course, although a few things are 'hand coded' in POV.
Thanks,
Hugo

That's a very, very good bit of modelling. I love the design. Really looking forward
to seeing
it textured.

DAMN, dude! Don't be selfish! Give us some more views.
The ship design is f'ng tight, but I would suggest sharpening at least some
of the corners (a lot). This would take care of your scale problem.

hey all
oh my god, it looks great. i'd keep it. well, it looks rather like
comic-style, but i think that's your goal ;-)
just keep it, i love it. saved this one already...

Hugo,
I like the model very much. Nice overall concept. I agree though, that the
model needs to have more sharp edges and joints, it looks as though it were
an injection molded plastic toy.
I look forward to seeing your progress.

Great model! I like that smoothness very much.
The result which difficult to achive using pure POV-Ray
features.
Those pipes shouldn't it be hollow ? :)
Can you share your impression from Wing3D ?
Does it worth to install and learn ?

Thank you! Yes, textures will change a lot. Hopefully they'll be cool. I
will draw them in Paintshop as needed, and try to apply them with UV or
planar mapping, though I haven't tried this before with an advanced model.

Hugo

Hi Shay, nice to see you around here again. Thank you for the praise. I'll
post more views when I have some updates. Your advice sounds like a good
idea. It does look like a toy, and partly I don't mind, but I'd also like to
have a realistic version. The question is which corners to sharpen.. I'm
thinking about that... Maybe the outlines?
Regards,
Hugo

Both yes and no. I'm interested in both things and can't really decide, but
it would probably be most useful to make a realistic version.

Thanks! That's a great compliment!

Thank you. It has undergone many changes and I have some sketches on paper,
although it wasn't until I began modelling it really took form.

I'm thinking about that. The textures will include some finer details that
will add a sense of sharpness to the model, but I agree that it's not
enough. It needs to be a bit more rough, though I doubt it will ever look
like metal pieces hammered together with bolts and so.. It's going to be
'molded' and I guess that's a more realistic interpretation of futurism as
well.

Thanks, me too. ;o)

Hugo
