Meloncov's Sci-Fi Illustrations

There are a couple things I need to clean up, but otherwise this is done:

I'm working on learning Wings 3D right now. I think I have the interface down, but working in it requires a somewhat disconcerting change in though process. Its sort of like the difference between building with Legos and sculpting stone.

I suppose I might try it if I encountered a place that allowed for selling models with no capital investment.

You may want to contact 12rounds, I know he has a store at Renderosity he may have some insight.

Amazing creations!

My first project in Wings, still a work in progress. Pbartender, I'll get to your request as soon as I finish this thing.

Added the basics of a texture:

Expiermenting with a change in shape. Still has a lot of mesh errors:

The fighter had a lot of internal mesh errors that were nearly impossible to get rid of (the result of being unfamiliar with the program) so I ditched it.

So, I started working on Pbartender's request. How do these proportions look?

I just realized that I don't have the grav genorators at the end of the arms. Also, the wires aren't in place yet; it'll be easiest to add them as one of the last steps.

The proportions look pretty good. The pole with the cockpit could feasibly be up to twice as long as it is, but it's not a problem, and I'd envisioned the arms to be "thinner" -- more like poles, than fins -- but that's also fine. Like I said above, there's a lot of potential variation in the specifics.

It's always neat to see what others come up with when you give them a description of something.

To be clear... there should only be one grav generator. It should be placed at the spolt where the four fin-arms join the pole, at the "top of the umbrella".


It looks beautiful.

Finally, an update. A robotic hand for school:

A quick update. No new work for two reasons:

One, I'm learning Lightwave so it may be a while before I have anything respectable to show.
Two, I'm applying for a summer program in 3d graphics. For it, I'm re-rendering my bideo, which is eating up my computers processing power.
