#dreadnought ship

[paulgribov]

At the third year of my work with blender I finally could apply some basic materials to my model and render it. My final goal would be a proper textured ship and simulated water. However it will not be easy and could take up a year because I have only almost any experience with materials and textures.

I have some shading and lighting issues on a few parts of this model. This high poly monster is not a in game model. It,s more a separate piece of 3D art. For so many years I was dreaming about the creation of space or battle ships, buildings for rts games and weapons for fps games. I,m only at the beginning of a long process of learning.

Here is my model at the current state without materials and not rendered. Despite the huge complexity of the shape and insane amount of details I have further plans to go completely insane with details. This model is not made for usage in a game or for baking of normal maps. This is a separate work of art. With growing 3d modeling skills I still follow my old dream and recreate units or buildings from old games with insane amount of details and high poly count. This type of work is a transition from my overloaded style of drawing into third demension.

About one year ago my art went into third dimension. For my whole life I could only fake the illusion of 3d on a piece of paper or canvas,but now I,m about to enter the realm of real 3d. It,s not the same if I draw a concept of a unit for rts game on paper or create a very detailed model... without textures or materials yet.
