Temporarly title, no babes in rubber (for you) :bigsmile2: viewable yet.
Decided to slip outside for a change since most of the time my images are inside spaceships, hangars, caves, you name it

Two days work almost done modeling, texturing still to be done.


It's an prop I made to fit in next image. Lots to be done here yet.

Weekend is over, back into the grind.... :(

Feel free to leave some comments or idea's on next test renders. :wave1:

They all look good, but I'd say go for the first one. Whilst the others are more dramatic with the craft still in the air, it's probably not a good idea to be standing on the pad whilst something is landing! So if we want to see the ladies, it better be after the craft is down. :)

Nice ship design, BTW.

As things go lately, I'm suffering from inspiration that is coming or going. Most of the time its on its way, either going or coming, yet not often staying long enough to finish a project. :grrr:

Above W.I.P. is a good example. One moment I'm in full speed working on it, the next it stands still, dead in the water forcing me to move over to something else and hope inspiration doesn't run away again. :3

One thing that annoyed me in above W.I.P. was that the sky felt 'fake'. Enough to irritate me wanting to replace it with something better.
The second thing was, as mentioned above, that the room on the platform doesn't really allow to have and something landing on it and someone/ people standing there.
I looked a bit around at off-shore oil rigs to get some idea where to go from here. It soon became clear I had to add another platform to the platform.
Sadly enough I still got stuck with a bad sky and not so much inspiration.

That was until a few days ago looking around on CGTalk I stumbled over a really neat HDRI plug-in for Cinema 4D.



Looks quit a lot better now with the scene being lit by the HDRI and it renders incredibly fast. Still have some stuff to do but this project is moving again.

I got some other projects some which I started had to abandon due to the lack of inspiration, some are just 'filler' material (for now) for the MNW storyline.
I'll see if I can upload some of that later in the MNW section.
