The model is absolutely sensational. I love that show, it shouldn't have been axed. Where did you get the reference from? The detail is amazing.

most of them wore from Serenity movie screen shots, i found some online, not so detailed ones thou, and rest is from my imagination, i love that show too, i watched the movie 50-60 times haha, i'm big fan of SF, i might do a Battlestar Galactica next, had that ship in my mind for a long time, but first have to repair this one To many panels on ship's hull, i made small script (macro rec haha) for making those panels and i went to far with it, that cabin in earlier version had 3 times more panels than it has now, i spent almost two days of work only to repair them

Thanks for feedback

DUDE! That's amazing. Did you use greeble?

---

Chris

All of those panels are modeled, i used greeble on two side panels on the neck,on hangar doors panels and below wings also, to add some more detailing on panels.
Funny thing is that every greelbe is chamfered, actually everything on that ship is chamfered, that was a pain to do but it was worth it

what's greeble? funny-sounding word
btw altopais this model looks killer right now!

I think greebling is actually a word they use in traditional model making to describe adding small bits of detail to make the model look more realistic and complex, like in the case of a spaceship model where it would make it look much larger if its got hundreds of panels making up the surface. the max modifier adds boxes and random box like shapes to every polygon in the mesh.

---

greeble is free plugin that adds random detailing to selected polygons or mesh or object, basicly just makes small boxes random shape.
and also as Tyson said, it's a word they use to add detailing.

Wow that is some fine work, and you have to love firefly.

yeah firefly was awesome and battlestar galactic also. two of the best sci-fi shows ever made. I had all the firefly eps on a harddrive and watched them back to back over a few nights. I had no idea the show was axed and when it just ended on a massive cliff hanger with all these loose ends I almost smashed my monitor in frustration.
Great work on the model very accurate and detailed. I think it would look good if you textured it procedurally rather than painting maps for it.
and or maybe paint up some masks and use blend materials to get bits that are shiny and others that are painted etc.. multiply some ambient occlusion or vray dirt into all the cracks. maybe even take it into zbrush and do a bit of a splattering of dust along the hull on a seperate mapping channel.
You could paint it as a mask and blend it into the materials back in max.

---

i got them on my hdd too, two of my favorite shows, and also got pissed off when season one ended and i found out that that's all, too bad
I think Battlestar galactica season 4 last episodes should come out soon.

Anyhow, as i said i'm not good at texturing, but i will try with a procedural, i'm not to satisfied with bitmaps.
Thanks everyone

here's an update, i took Tyson's advice and did the textures all procedurally, i think it looks much better, thanks for that
Anyhow, render time was 4.5h on 1536x1167 resolution, just finished it.

background is not my work, i downloaded it from some desktop wallpaper's page. it's just a template to see how would model look in a similar enviroment.
