-RJB-'s High polygon models and scenes thread

Does it have a holographic veiw screen?

Looking at the city, the attention to overall detail is staggering! RJB quality work as always.

There will be a glass section going into the top part but the screen will be projected on that.

Hello:
I am very amazed to see the works you do, the city in Altair is great, you can almost see yourself walking on those streets, simple amazing.

And now, I am very looking forward to see your space-based city. That concept has always interested me and I'd love to see what will you come up with.

Keep it up with the amazing job!

 

[-RJB-]

The main body is about done. Things to still do are to add the battery and data storage device, the back plate, a wireless power charger and maybe a wireless headset.

I like it; feels very functional rather than something made to look nice. Utilitarian is the word I'm looking for.

 

[Starfox1701]

I suppose the only thing missing is something that gives asnce of scale. Good work

 

[Majestic]

Oh very nice work mate, a truly unique scanner you have there.

 

[-RJB-]

Got a bit more done on my hand-held so here is a quick fly-by animation of the wip.

Great work RJB, I like how it comes apart.

I have a friend who started modeling an earth alliance warlock from Babylon 5 so this inspired me to redo the start of my hyperion replacement ship. I'm trying to give it a style similar to that of the warlock.

 

[Majestic]

Beautiful ship, I love B5 and would love to see some original design by you.

If this one turns out well, I also have a heavy assault starfury planned.

 

[Starfox1701]

She going to be like the Hyperion olike one of the choped warlocks I've seen running around?

 

[Dan1025]

Great start! Glad to see you doing some B5 stuff, can't wait to see more

I'm not sure if I'm reading your post right.

My goal is to take the base concept of the Hyperion design and give it a more modern look similar to that of the warlock. (lost tales version)

 

[Starfox1701]

That would be option 1

 

[-RJB-]

That would be option 1

lol ok.

The wording was just odd so I was making sure I was answering what you asked.

 

[-RJB-]

Ok update time.

Added more detail to the front area, added the mid-ship fighter bays and adjusted a few of the areas in the back half.

 

[Majestic]

Looking beautiful.

 

[-RJB-]

Looking beautiful.

Thank you.

So I was thinking of armaments, how does this sound?

3 medium beam cannons (2 forward, 1 aft)
3 dual turret pulse cannons
2 heavy plasma cannons (fixed forward)
2 missile banks (3 missiles each)
10 interceptor turrets
10-14 starfury fighters

 

[Majestic]

That sounds pretty good, not over powered. I assumed this would be a cruiser of sorts and not as heavily armed as the Omega and Warlock classes.

It's about the same length as the original Hyperion but a bit more bulky.

-edit-
I'm going to hijack a scaling chart.

Wow, I can't wait to see this. I may look into making a low poly version of this model after you finish your high poly version of it.

If you do decide when I'm done to make a low poly model then I'm more than happy to send you the finished high poly model to use as a reference.

Just finished modeling the pulse turret and placed them. The rear most one will move a bit once I start to detail that area.

It would be a little while down the track as I have a few single released models I want to get done plus my larger projects. But that would certainly help with the re-build. I think I would aim for the 3k mark to get as much detail as I can in it.

Looking great, this design is coming along really nicely.

 

[-RJB-]

More detail work on the front of the model.

 

[Hellkite]

better work than on the show it self well done

Just shows how much technology has advanced. I think it was lightwave version 3 that they used on the show itself. (we are now up to V10)
