Re: Impressive, most impressive.

The ISD master takes on the Mon Cal.

Fractalsponge has gone to the light side? Perhaps. He has just started work on a Mon Cal MC-90 (an EU Rebel cruiser first seen in the Dark Empire comic book series). If you know of his work already you'll know he is a master Star Destroyer and Imperial craft builder with an almost painfully good eye for detail. So to see him take on a Rebel ship in interesting to say the least. If only to see how he deals with OMG, curves? He has only just made a start on the model, but even at this early stage his WIP images already show that when this his done his work is surely destined to become the definitive reference resource for this ship. I've seen the real shooting models of Mon Cal cruisers in person, and good as they are they don't hold up well to really close scrutiny, as they didn't need to. The detail already evident here far surpasses that. I just hope he takes on Home One (The Headquarters Frigate) and the other Mon Cal ships that appeared in the movies, as the end results would be fantastic. Anyhow enough of my waffle, check it out for yourself here:

I don't think he has truly turned to the light side though. I just reckon he felt he needed to build a few Rebel ships for his vast armada of ISDs to beat the crap out of.

Re: Impressive, most impressive.

Rather than start another thread for this I thought I'd throw this in here under this same thread banner, and have it for impressive Star Wars related 3D modelling in general.

Check this out:

http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/show … ing-Bay-94

A new member over on Scifi Meshes has just posted a new thread showcasing his work, basically he is doing high end work on a recreation of Docking Bay 94 (the hangar the Falcon was berthed in during A New Hope while in Mos Eisley), he started out with that, but then expanded the project to take in the streets too. He is also importing his assets into Unreal 4 Engine so it'll be an interactive experience when it is done.

If you want to get a rough idea of what First Strike's Mos Espa map could potentially look like in Unreal 4, this gives you a good idea. Watch the vid and hang out for the hangar showcase at the end, that is the only area which is fully textured, and yes, you've guessed it...

It looks impressive, most impressive.

cool

Re: Impressive, most impressive.

Wow!  The poly counts are unreal as well.

Re: Impressive, most impressive.

Well he's not done it with game ready asset final results in mind, more of a high end interactive showcase/walk through.

Impressive either way.
