Excellent work... love the details... two thumbs up!

Well, I was moving on to another vehicle for my project and, thanks to the wonderful Osprey U6 tutorial by JohnArtBox, I was able to complete this in less than a full day! THANKS JOHN! I was nearly finished and realized that something didn't look quite right... I changed the engine size and now I'm really not sure which one looks better. What do you think the one on the left or the on the right?

Update: Fixed two of the images above. You should be able to see them with no problem now...

Thank you for the wonderful tutorials... I've saved them off to review again and again... Hopefully I can hone my modeling skills to about 25% of yours...

Very nicely done... can't wait to see the finished product. (Now I have to go work on my star freighter some more... )

Now I think Matry is getting upset that he's not completely rigged yet... I still have the leg, back and feature (eyes & mouth) control bones to put in and constrain.

Both my "monitors" are LCD (stand alone and laptop screen)... so I'm still wrestling with that... I do however have a treat for everyone... got the rigging complete on Matry's tenticle... have a gander at a quick (took me 5 minutes to make) action I created. Tenticle_Test.mov

Update... The two characters were tweaked for closer to final skin color and Jozip's face was altered to be closer to finished (4 eyes instead of 2 eyes) The angle in the engine room shot has also been changed to better frame the characters.

Updated Freighter render for those who can't see the one above...

Okay... well the main story is one of existing friendships, discovery and making new friendships as well as a lot of exploration. The ship... "Stormy Knight" The crew... Captain/Chief Engineer: Jozip (4 armed humanoid in the WIP, still needs LOTS of cleanup) Astro Navigator/Computer Specialist: Matry (shorter creature in the WIP, LOTS to do on his rig) Pilot/Cargo Chief: Wheetle (Female Feline type biped, yet to be modeled) Copilot/Security Chief: Zabit (Human Male biped) Contract Agent: Jummit (Male biped, tall thin marsupial, creamy fur, large eyes. Also yet to be modeled.) Let's just say the majority of the story will be kept secret. I actually did add a light... in that scene the ship is supposed to be powered down except for a few marker lights... and it's between systems.

This is all a work in progress, but I figured I throw something up for feedback. I modeled the star freighter first and then the engine room as a separate model to be merged inside. I'm trying to block in my shots at this point... so no detail on the models either. Here is the star freighter itself... and the engine room with two characters for scale. This is a portion of the outside shell with the engine room model merged into it (to save patches). More to come as I get it cranked out...
