Week 4: R-Type RSF-01 "Artemis" Update

Try merge some design elements of the F-14 Tomcat and the R-Type R9D model to make the R-Type RSF-01 "Artemis".

Week 4: USS Missouri SBS-63 Update: New Guns and Re-defining hard and soft edges

The difference between the last iteration of the Missouri's main guns didn't give much in a way to "sell" as it was made in the future/  So the base design of the main guns was changed significantly and the barrels of the guns as well.

Working on redefining the hard and soft edges of the hull of the ship.

Week 3: USS Missouri SBS-63 Update

 
Added edge loops on the hull and applied a smooth feature.

Week 3: USS Missouri SBS-63 "Parts"

Focused on adding more parts to the ship and used repeating elements throughout the ship in order to cut down on modeling time.

Week 3: USS Missouri SBS-63 Update

Replaced the forward cannon with a rail gun design I'm still working on.

  Added a missile launcher system and added parts to the engine bay area.  I also extruded out some parts of the hull of the ship and included parts that are attached to the hull but modeled separately.

Basic modeling tips in Maya.


I figured I would go back to basics to help boost my confidence in modeling.

Week 2, USS Missouri Sci-Fi version of ship.

Began shaping out the hull and control bridge of the USS Missouri.  Got quite a ways to go.  I figure once I shape out the hull, then I could proceed on the placement of the ship-board weapons and other aesthetics.
