We have just finished the 4th week of our Blender weekly challenge. One month already :o
This week I am going to provide the theme and it is:
Dreadnought Spaceship
(big capital battle-spaceships like the Star Destroyers from Star Wars or the Battlestar Galactica)
Remember: these models can be simple or complex and whatever skill level you think you can achieve.
It’s our collaborative way to practice our skills to get something done with a specific theme in a given time.
Feel free to upload your model to sketchfab or post some progress pictures in this thread until next Sunday evening
Absolutely love the creativity from our students here. This is an awesome topic!! I can’t wait to see what comes of it, and I will definitely be entering something for this one!
Battlestar galactica general shape blocked in …will never be able to finish this in time .details are gonna take a month with all the bits and pieces there are on that ugly beast haha AT first look doesn’t look like there is too much to her but when you look at a detailed pic up close there is tons of beams and panels and guns and more…
Thanks Gamedevcala! I think faking it is a bit beyond my skill level at this point …texturing etc is where i fall down! I actually find it easier to create the detail than to texture it on …i really need to spend some time on materials and textures so i get better at all of that! I love your spaceship, looks really cool and its unique not a done ship like Galactica! Very very cool looking forward to seeing the finished result!
I did a small animation too. (The jet exhaust was kind of tricky to setup, and it’s still not how i wanted)
[EDIT] my direct upload was not working sometimes so i uploaded to vimeo]
Sometimes the video is not working so here is a link:
Just starting to get the details blocked in for my Dreadnought, it is inspired from Star Wars but I didn’t want to copy exactically so that I have more freedom to try to stretch my skills and creativity. It will take a good month or two to get the detailing in that I want to. :
