-RJB-'s High polygon models and scenes thread

[-RJB-]

Wip shot of the Living area building 1. There will be a few other buildings that will make up the living area on the base.



I also hope to upload the untextured hanger to the download area over the weekend.

 

[SciFiFan]

Looks great!!

 

[Lord_Trekie]

That looks amazing!

 

[-RJB-]

Building 1 of the living area is now done.

 

[Borg_Queen]

Awesome work, -RJB-.

 

[SciFiFan]

All I have to say is.....:Y

 

[Majestic]

Outstanding work again RJB.

 

[Hellkite]

Nice accommodation block and hanger

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Wow! :Y 'tis amazing!

 

[Jetfreak]

Looks very practical with the industrial shapes and all, I really like the aesthetics.

 

[-RJB-]

Thanks jetfreak.

Building 2 of the living area is now done.



Some solid wire-frames

 

[SciFiFan]

Excellent work.

 

[Majestic]

Awesome RJB, are the apartments going to be someway connected to the hangar? Also is there going to be some sort of Puddle Jumper bay?

 

[-RJB-]

I have yet to decide how it will all be linked and yes there will be a runway with a group of small ship hangers.

 

[-RJB-]

My hanger has now been added to the download area under 3d meshes. So to say it is only the lightwave file (lwo).

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Oooo cool! Thanks man, one of these days I'll have to concoct a scene with it somehow.

 

[-RJB-]

Building 3 of the living area is now done. One more to go and then I can work on the layout and base model for where the building models will go.

 

[Majestic]

Outstanding, I am really liking that one.

 

[-RJB-]

Glad you like it maj. Once I'm done this area it will be added to download too. I think I may separate the living area base and builds so they can be viewed each when I'm done.

I had to do a double take on it but all 3 buildings together still come in at under 40,000 polygons.

 

[Majestic]

Under 40,000? Boy that's really well done, I was expecting at least 60k for the three of them.

It either really shows you know how to save on the pollies or that I am just too used to low poly or maybe both.

 

[-RJB-]

I think it's part the program I use and the style of modeling I do. I keep things very clean.

A fellow modeler I know who did a model of SG:U Destiny's Shuttle had a final poly count of over 600,000 and I'm sure I could do the same ship for about 120,000-160,000. Nothing was wrong with the model but he did his in blender if I remember and had a different way of modeling than myself.

 

[-RJB-]

Time for a model dump.





All 5 buildings come in at just over 82,000 polygons.

 

[Majestic]

Sweet, I like the jumper bays on the 2nd building from the left. I assume they are puddle jumper bays.

 

[-RJB-]

No jumper bays. What part of the building are you looking at out of interest?

 

[Majestic]

The Pillars coming out from the base.

 

[-RJB-]

Ah I see what you are looking at. That is just an architectural component. I should add a jumper to the scene for scale. The largest building is 20 floors with a 21st which would be mechanical.

 

[La Patience]

Wow looking good their -RJB- as always I am in awe over your modeling skills lol. I just loaded blender on my new laptop so I have that to play around with later. Nice to see you trying something new (I mean that your modeling buildings instead of ships lol, or thats what I get from the looks of your two previous pics).

Look forward to it's next step

 

[-RJB-]

Thanks La Patience. The hanger is up in the download area if you want to take a look. I believe you use Lightwave also.

Got my building layout done and have started on the base for the buildings. The scene is rendering now. (A bit over 500,000 polys now.)

 

[Jetfreak]

With all the intricate details on the models, I cant wait seeing them in a finalized render, they look superb.

 

[-RJB-]

Here is the layout. Still have to detail the base.
