I like shuttle 3, but I also like shuttle 1's pylons. Shuttle 5's rollbar however; looks like it belongs on an Oberth class ship. awesome detail though....

That rollbar pod had a long evolution before it wound up on that shuttle. In the very beginning, it actually *was* an Oberth pod, except I had it stuck on the rollbar of a Miranda class where the torpedo launcher normally is. Eventually, I developed my own "Lang" class to replace the Miranda/Oberth kitbash, and made an original pod. These shuttles are meant to go in the Lang class' shuttlebay, so I reused basically the same pod, shrunk down, for continuity.

Brilliant idea mate, do they float or come with water wings?

Great work man, shuttles were meant to be specialized.

The showroom is in Starbase 901, New Canada system, Trans-Briar Patch sector, which is where my fanfic takes place.
Actually, the showroom is one of the built-in Carrara settings. Basically, it is an infinite, blue-tinted floor plane, mediumly reflective, and a blue sky with some puffy clouds above.

Great work Rich, I like the roll-bar variant the most I guess, I'm just a sucker for ships with roll-bars but it seems to have a little more "character" than the other variants.

Yeah, the other two are a bit on the plain side. But I've never really been a huge fan of greebles for the sake of greebles. I suspect the shuttles will evolve more little details on their hulls as I render more pics.

They look great, rich. Very distinctive features on every model.

Actually I've been trying. The geometry around the windows is all messed up though and I haven't been able to straighten it out yet. I supposed I can upload the original Carrara files and the OBJ's if anyone else wants to try their luck.

Might be a good idea. Perhaps some in the group can help solve it?
