Models giveaway
-
Also, just about every modeller out there started by using existing artwork as a basis, often just making a perfect replica of the thing. It’s how you begin. You can’t reasonably expect to start off from zero and instantly make a work of art.
-
The way I sometimes do it is I go and search for a bunch of images on google, pick a few favorite ones and then I start making a model based on those. I take the wing design from a concept, the rear from another concept, the front from somewhere else etc. and in the end I have my own cool model to show for.
-
How about I make partial refs (i.e. outline only) that way I’ll decide how to mold it from the initial shape. I’ll need help making the textures afterwards.
-
Ok, perhaps this will clarify things. An outline ref is a reference showing only the exterior outline of the concept. This type of reference is commonly used in tests involving creativity, because no detail is given inside the outline. It’s like an deciphering an inkblot, it can be whatever you mind tells it to be. Unlike the inkblot, the outline determines the models bounds and proportions.
If you’re still confused, go back to the inkblot analogy, heck, even look at inkblots. You’ll understand what I mean.

Hey Sol, just wanted to drop a note saying that your work is pretty damn good. I’ve been keeping an eye on it ever since you started several years ago. I think I’m starting to see Star Citizen references in your latest work.
I’m thinking of using some of your models for a little project I’m working on in Unity, so I thought I would let you know. Keep up the great work!
-
Cheers mate. I’m really glad my models are of use to your Unity project. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out

Glad you guys like them.
Now, I’m having some trouble figuring out a name / class / purpose for these 3 ships (with similar design) so I was wondering if you guys could help out with this problem
This design was inspired by >this pic<.First one:

Third:

@SolCommand i see you’ve got blast of muse oO
They are perfect!! -
The first : Baryonyx.
The second : Suchomimus.
The third : Spinnosaurus -
1 Nautilus - looks fit for exploration
2 Malice - definitely looks like it intends to do harm
3 Cerberus - the two headed dog that guards the gates to hell innit -
Hehe cheers. Sometimes when I come across a pic of a spaceship or something I get lots of ideas as to how I could make my own version of that, so work goes quite fast
Glad you guys like it and thanks for those names you picked, they’re perfect !!
Gonna go now and post them on my site and also upload them on the server.Cheers again.

I’m guessing this one could be used for a museum or target practice :))
