Day 13

I was told last week I needed to embed more screenshots into my blog posts. Today we’ll start with the Shivan Fighter I mentioned earlier in the week – it’s really come along. Click the screenshot below for a link to a p3d model of the ship:

Careful viewers will note a small seam present in the transition between the arms and the ridged section behind them, that’s already been fixed in the model as it stands. The conical objects linked to the lower hull are supposed to be anti-ship missiles, a cute little five-fold symmetrical model built out of an icosahedron.

I also worked up an alternate leaf arm for the Shivan Worldship. This one has five limbs based on the SJ Sathanas. There’s no p3d of the worldship available as it really hasn’t gone too much further from the last p3d, but here is a nice 4k render with a lighting setup. The skybox was created in SpaceEngine Pro with three directional lights setup like various other stars in the scene. Here’s a few low res renders using Maya’s raytracing within the program. You can click for links to higher res versions of the images:

And now an ultra high res render I put together that I am quite happy with. Same as before, this is a clickable link – be sure to zoom in!
