Re: Check Out My Starfighter

Hey, that is absolutely an excellent render, and it sounds like you've put quite a bit of thought into the whole deal. I do kind catch myself looking for an astromech cockpit, but on that scale, I realize it is like nothing the Star Wars universe can boast. It's probably as large as a frigate!

Very well done, but I have to ask: do you do renderings yourself? I have a few sketches for personal use that I want to convert to electronic media. I'm neither an artist, however, nor a graphic designer, and Microsoft Paintbrush really isn't as powerful as I'd like it to be ^^. Let me know if you'd be interested.

heh, yeah scale is difficult, I recon it to be about 50 - 60 meters in length < heh, it being short range too!

Its a question of detail vs time, if your just wanting a clean part/shape/scale mock up, thats fine. The model with the detail you see there takes about 70 hours to model in 3d max, not including rendering time which roughly equals an hour for wallpaper size.
If you want to send me the sketches (email?ftp?) I could think about it

Re: Check Out My Starfighter

For me it brings to mind more of a small corvette vehicle than a starfighter. If it were a little bulkier and had a few more separations on the hull plates, it would look like a corvette (by corvette I mean a small ship with a crew of 5 or 6).

I'll be releasing more views shortly.
All comments and crits welcome.
Thanks
WOW!!! That's an awesome design Dreamwalker! Well done! You mentioned that its a starfighter, therefore, what kind of weapons does it possess? Also, I'd love to see what cockpit looks like. Do you have any photos of that?
