Akira tweaks and the birth of a Galaxy...

I've been adding interiors to the Akira to help the animations stand up a bit better, as well as playing with getting some more interesting looking lighting. I also tweaked the hull material slightly;

Aside from fiddling with the Akira, I've mader a start on a Galaxy Class mesh, I can see this one being a very long term project...

Back on the Akira

Working on the Akira again getting it to a point where I can start rendering out some animation footage. Also been working on planetary renders. I used Blender Guru's excellent tutorial to get going with the planets then just started fiddling with settings.

Shuttle Bays Re-Modelled...

Got the shuttle bays re-modelled completely, these look far better in my opinion. I may add a litttle more detail but nothing massive.

A Quick Logo, VHS Style...

Knocked up a hi res version of the old VHS logo (TNG), it's not perfect but this was just a quick job, feel free to use in your own projects (maybe throw me a credit somewhere :p)

Let there be light...

More light and shadow...

Today's seen a lot more shadowing go in, knocked a quick sky as well to get a rough idea of contrast and colour level...

Not Star Trek, granted...

I've had various Star Trek bits and pieces happening over the last few weeks, including my various SketchUp projects. Along with that I've also been teaching myself to digitally paint, as my girlfriend was kind enough to buy me a Wacom bamboo tablet, and I've built myself a new PC, so Photoshop is nice and snappy!

I did a few tests with it just to get a feel for it, as its a very odd experience at first. In and effort to turn out and actual piece though, I've started a full size drawing, so this is what I'm working on...

The outlines are nearly done (except for the rocks obviously), and after that I'll start working some colour in to get a feel for the actual 'painting' aspect. Doing so much outlining has proven a great way to get a feel for the Bamboo though, and I'm already drawing much straighter lines and smoother curves, I'll keep you all updated...
