Was lucky enough to get my hands on orthos of the studio model when i modeled it all those years ago so i had a head start, but i also ended up with THE most accurate fan-replica

and kudos on being invested enough to know the name of the original artist, Jose's work on the Atmosphere-vfx Atlantis model (season 3-5) and the Destiny is what got me into Modo from Lightwave and i havnt looked back since.

Yeah Jose Perez is one of the best 3d modelers i have come acress in the scifi area, his attention to detail is incredible as is yours. and in regards to James CD Robbins he is a great production designer out of all the demoreels i have seen his is truly amazing despite the first 2 images obviously really early work as the lighting on the space scenes are awful but when the vid moves on and it gets to the Stargate Universe work there are some truly awesome creatures which drives me mad as it shows what was to come if Universe had been able to reach the potential i knew it had.

best? no imo, good but not the best, and ive never been a fan of robbins. as for universe it deserved to be canceled as the writing was and still is shit for the most part and joseph malozzi is a hack witout a shred of originality in anything he creates prime example being his recent clusterfuck of a tv show Dark Matter that not only recycles the look but also key step by step plot points from SGU throuout and everything he touches has that stench of "old mans idea of what younger people like".

Wow so who exactly connected to the sg franchise d o you like seems there is only Paul Mullie as a main writer that you are not venting at Alex actually thought Universe had potential had it the time to evolve but i do get totally what you are saying regarding Malozzi you just need to watch the santuary to see some eps are  just downright carbon copies of sg eps down to evey twist n turn so yeah complete lack of imagination from all the sg franchise could of been so cool with so many possibilities every planet a fresh opportunity but no they killed it creatively abd by season ten and the ori storyline i was ready for it to end theydragged formidable too but yet they were all getting shot down by the goauld and why would the sg teams continue to carry earth based weaponry that needs ammo when they could of adopted weapons from a wealth of races superior to us for example when sg1 fled tolana after having hold of them boomerang shaped pistols i would of grabbed a few i just thought they would intergrated the tech they came across into their own a prime example SAM found she could use a hand device and healer surely she would continue to use one i know i would of written that in and the ashrak tech ,some select body armour from supersoldier tech and on and on it could of been so good .As for C.D Robbins i thought his production design was shockingly bad in some respects but he had his moments though the way they re-used probs was sooo lazy but i did like his demo reel despite the first 2 images looking like amatuer bryce 3d renders if you remember that program but most of his demo reel is sg universe based and i think that is the only place he shined, well maybe not shined but dimly glowed in down to a lack of imagination but watching the demoreel of his the half organic half mech creatures in them big palaces led me to think good things were to come at least we got quality models from Jose Perez in the destiny and seed ship as well as the usini aliens were they called usini ! i kinda liked them aliens but the blue hostile aliens sucked so did their ships. finally got round to getting my facebook page up now i need to raise my online presence i let it slip for so long so i just deleted everything online all my accounts and now need to get my work up on my pages and spend more time on digital work i have been spending way more time devoted to real clay which i enjoy but need to find a balance  i have sooo much to upload tonnes of artwork both digital and traditional airbrush and ink and so much hand drawn concept art which i was obsessed with creating at one point. anyway speak to you soon alex.
