[MODEL] Shuttle Mk1

[apollo]

Hey guys. Thought I'd show my WIP of the Shuttle Mk1. Hope you like it.

[Elffin]

Really good start Apollo....

This is probably one design that hasn't changed much from TOS..

Some RDM pics can be seen on meshweaver.

[apollo]

Thanks. The meshweaver pics are a great ref.

[Ice-Dragon]

Great start Apollo.

What is going to be your poly limit?

[apollo]

Cheers. I'm aiming to be less than 30k. Hopefully in the 20s.

[apollo]

Here's an update!

[ML]

Looking good, apollo! ;)

Cheers guys!

[apollo]

An update, and a wire too.

I will try to add the rest of the detail on the back of the shuttle using textures.

[ML]

Awesome!

[apollo]

Thanks ML!

Still got detail on and around the engines to do, but almost done ;)

Modeling finished - hope you like it ;)

[Elffin]

Top class work sir!

[apollo]

Thanks Elffin. It should be ok to texture, might take a while though because of all the small parts.

[Ice-Dragon]

Great work as always O0O0O0

[Mishra]

That looks great Apollo! Brings back memories from TOS. O0
How many polys is it?

[apollo]

Thanks Mishra. It's 22,000 at the moment, but I've not optimized it at all yet.

[ML]

Really good, apollo. Keep it up! ;)

[StormSinger]

Impressive, great detail (keep in mind this is coming from a 30+ year freelance/cg artist).

Frankly, it looks better than a lot of "pro" work I've seen.

[apollo]

Wow! Thanks Stormsinger!!

Would we have seen any of your work ;) ?

[StormSinger]

Not likely. I spent most of my time doing private commissions. It just worked out better for me than higher-profile, commercial jobs.

I let all that slide several years ago, but I'm considering going back to it. Or at least making content for the online cg marketplace.

I'm working on a couple of X3 things at the moment... for render purposes. I'll post them in the CG thread when I get them done.
