Impressive as ever RJB

That looks cool, its a...warship? Hmm, I'll go with it! Definitively beautiful model.

That it would be.

Here is the write up that went with the sketch.

It's a nuclear electric spacecraft with a crew of six. It's about 50 percent propellant by weight when fully loaded, making it capable of round trips out as far as the asteroid belt without refueling. Due to the effects of freefall on a crew, however, it is only flown as far as mars. It's primary combat weapon is it's compliment of eight long range space missiles. It also carries a single megawatt-class near-infrared laser that can be sent through either of it's two 3m lenses, giving it a hard-kill range of several thousand kilometers. It's main engines are four electric plasma rockets grouped into pairs with opposite magnetic field direction so no torque is generated when operating in the earth's magnetic field. Manuvering thrust is provided by a number of bipropellant thrusters scattered across the craft's surface. It is built on a lightweight modular truss structure, which can be reconfigured in an emergency to allow the craft to operate properly with just a single main engine pod. There is no provision for artificial gravity so each crewmember will typically fly just one (long) mission in their career.

Oh yeah, me lieks low-tech scifi. The front part reminds me of B5's Nova class.

 

[Adm_Z]

Very nice! I cant wait to see how it turns out.

 

[Syf]

It is, as always, great work.

 

[Starfox1701]

very interesting

 

[Majestic]

Great work mate.

 

[-RJB-]

Thank you everyone.

Update.

 

[-RJB-]

Did some structural additions to the crew area and fixed a few mesh errors.

 

[dinosaurJR]

That is very nice - looks almost UNSC / Halo ish...

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
That model is very interesting, I am very looking forward to see the final result.

Keep it up!

 

[-RJB-]

Started on the side arms.

 

[Majestic]

Great work RJB.

 

[-RJB-]

The main engine pods are now added.

 

[Iashar_Koranin]

That thing looks great so far!

[-RJB-]

I may still make a few changes but for the most part the modeling is done.

 

[Dominus_Noctis]

Looks lovely

 

[Majestic]

Quality work as always mate, great to see you venturing out and into something new.

 

[-RJB-]

Ended up adding more detail to the back half. Now I can say I'm happy with the modeling and time to move onto texturing.

 

[kjc733]

I never fail to be amazed by how quickly you manage to generate such high quality work. She (as does everything else you do) looks great.

 

[-RJB-]

Thank you.

Since I do plan to make a scene with the ship in it I started on some background models.

 

[Ragnar]

I must say, and I mean it...wow!

All this work is awesome, I flicked through many of the pages and was amazed by the quality of your work. Should do this professionally if you don't already

 

[Majestic]

Awesome work RJB, I love the smaller craft.

Thank you.

This is just my hobby. The time frames they give you when you go professional are just crazy.

Started work on my hypervoxel asteroid preset. Still have a few kinks in it but once done I'll be able to mass build asteroids for my scene.

 

[Hellkite]

Nice rock

 

[-RJB-]

Thanks

Was trying out a free sculpting program that was recommended to me. This is my second model in it and about 5 minutes of work.

 

[Avon]

Very cool

 

[-RJB-]

So everyone know the program I was testing out is called sculptris. It is designed to work with Zbrush but does very well on it's own and is currently free.

With Majestic permission here is the link to the software. Pixologic :: Sculptris

Started on a crashed ship for the scene. It is kind of like minbari meets farscape.
