Gallente Destroyer for CCP's Contest WIP
« on: September 19, 2010, 09:58:12 pm »
So CCP, the company that makes Eve Online is hosting a contest. Basically it's "Design a ship"

This is my WIP for my entry.

It's intended to be a destroyer. For those who know Eve Online, its basically intended to be the Mini-Brutix. Basically this is to the Brutix as the Vexor is to the Dominix.



C&C welcome as always.

At first glance, it reminds me of a whale.

The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

I could see that. The Dominix from Eve is very whale like, so it fits.

Sweet! I really like the shape and proportions! I will have to look into the contest as well, but am intimidated if the likes of FOAS is competing.

Well, do remember - this is still a work in progress - so I don't have all the detail down yet. Further, I'm actually thinking about restarting this one with a proper quad-mesh fit for meshsmoothing - an endeavor I've never attempted deeply.

The Gallente are very rounded, but the Brutix (and a couple others) do have that very well sculpted detail. On other vessels there are "blank" smooth spots (usually found on curved surfaces). Most of that detail, however, is achieved via texturing.

It truely is an art to get that relief look by using textures to take advantage of every ripple in a plain mesh. You need a really good unwrapping program and quite a bit of talent to pull it off, but I am sure FOAS is up to the challenge.

I think I'm going to restart. That bulbous thing on the sides just seems slapped on and I think I should integrate that shape into the base of the wings some. I will continue to play :)

So did I, but the way I did it wasn't working for me. There will be a wheel thingy but it will be smaller and less obtrusive.

EDIT: well, I HOPE there will be a wheel thing. This thing has taken on a life of its own - it's telling me not to do it >.<

Edit 2: The model and I have come to an agreement - There will be a small wheel in the underchassis. The model just wanted something nice to make it not look so slapdash. We have a reached a compromise. I will enlighten as negotiations continue.

Negotiations with the model are proceeding very nicely and both parties remain hopeful of a permanent resolution.

It seems the model and I have reached an equitable arrangement. Unwrapping and Texturing to proceed post-haste.
