lol 
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…

Really nice blockout! For the details: “fake it till you make it” 
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!

Hey again! This is my entry.
I didn’t have too much time this week to work on it, but I had plenty of fun.
Original.
After Alien meet lol
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:

That is awesome Lucas, brilliant job!!
Thanks 
Now is working for me, i don’t know whats happening
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. :

And a close up of the turret that is one the ship. It still needs a bump map plus texturing which I’ll do in Substance Painter 2. :

i started to block out something then i realised that it is ( i think ) not a space ship but i was like oh that’s cool i will continue that 
@Lucas_Lima how did you make that space background?

These weekly deadlines really help me to get something done. Otherwise I would never release a model but always keep adding more details. Sizing down your scope is hard but a life safer 
So this is my Spaceship for this weeks challenge:

Gamedevcala this is just getting better and better you spaceship is really amazing looking mate! Such a great job your blender work is getting more and more awesome everytime you post something! I am so glad you mentioned i should fake it since there is no way i could get the geometry done in time…i thought about it and figured i really need to get texturing down better so did some tutorials and started on faking it for Glacatica and can see once i add bump, reflection and displacements maps it will actually look pretty good …this is awesome you can do this!..i knew about it but never tried before…this pic is just the very start no maps just uv not even adjusted yet but pretty sure by tomorrow eve i should have this quarter finished no detail model looking pretty decent! Great that you brought this up gamedev and got me started on the path to learning a new very useful way of making low poly barely done models look decent in a time pinch! Thanks mate!

Great! Have fun exploring the new path 
Cool ship!
In this case i used a milkway panoramic pic as a environmental texture and a lower res version of it as a light emitter!
How did you make yours background?
Thanks
I Searched in google images for space HDRI and tried some images then i chose one and made it an environmental texture.
i tried making space in blender but the image was better
this is what i made in blender
any ideas for better stars? 
WELL HECK. Here’s my just-in-time entry. I’ve been battling procrastination and started this one a little while ago today, and as such I’m nowhere near finished. But here it is anyway!
I’ve done something different! Instead of being a full ship, I’ve made a floorplan of a capital ship… Yes, it has 8 bedrooms, whatever, it’s optimized for low crew or something!
And when I re-upload it later I won’t give it a silly storefront background lol.

Faking it turned out to be way harder than i thought lol …best i could come up with so far …i need a ****** ton of practice texturing and working with UV Maps!! Not happy at all with this result …will finish it properly one day …for now onto the finish later shelf with 50 other projects haha

Hey guys! That marks the end of this week’s collab. Thanks everyone for participating!
I’ve had a bit of an idea I’ve been wanting to include as part of this for quite some time, so I will be picking the topic for next week. Head over to here The Blender Collab; Weekly Themed Gallery (Week 6) to see the new topic. It’s a special one, so I hope you guys will enjoy it!
