Description Recently I came across a very good concept artist. His name is Feng Zhu. This is one of his art works recreated in 3D by yours truly (me). More of his concepts can be found at [link]

The model is done in Maya 6.0. No textures applied at this point. It will be a part of my home page animation at [link]

Feel free to say what's on your mind...

I once started that concept too, although i never finished it. You got the shape quite good, although I'd love to see more greebling, but thats just my personal preference.
You may seek out Roman Kochnev designs - they totally rocks too - he has awesome space ship and fighter designs - more smooth/sleek looking, less industrial - although last time I checked, his personal homepage was down - and his presence over at elfwood and cgtalk is reduced to his few new designs which he did in CG only (his crayons designs looked much better IMO)

can't really say anything without seeing it... and even then.. modeling is a technical skill that consist of the knowledge of the tools... more you do it >> better you know it >> better become your results...

You got this model really close to the sketch. really nice detail on the engines i'd love to see this textured and finished

Feng is amazing, his work is the reason why i want to be a concept artist

zoomzoom In reply to David-Holland [2005-07-31 13:29:43 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I always pay very close attention to details... my nature really... I also animate, but I don't really ever texture...

Feng is amazing. I am working on a million different things these days, but plan to model one more of his models pretty soon, but if you like crazy details in 3D, check out my Robocop model.

Thanks again!

Design is by Feng. He is the concept artist. I am just a modeler... a re-creator... I am just a guy who knows how make anything out of a cube(I bet you can too).
My imagination lies somewhere else...

zoomzoom In reply to coolesteugene [2005-05-28 23:01:01 +0000 UTC]

yea.. that's kinda low, but not low enough to run maya. you can still do it. Up until this year I was running maya on 512 and it was fine.

coolesteugene In reply to zoomzoom [2005-05-29 01:42:01 +0000 UTC]

zoomzoom In reply to coolesteugene [2005-05-30 07:25:17 +0000 UTC]

Well... two things! #1... while in school I had my "fun" working on machines with 256 MB of ram, it was not pretty, but it worked... for simple modeling, messing around or learning its enough. And #2 256MB of memory is actually pretty cheap these days.. so just upgrade. Don't let those two things hold you up, my friend... good luck.

Hmm... only 2 more come to my mind: Syd Mead and Ryan Church, both pretty famous from their gnomon dvds. Feng Zhu is my favorite though
