Description

This is the last in a series showing the mothership (Explorer1) as it come into orbit around Mars. I will however be posting different parts of the ship in the future showing all the detail of the ship from stem to stern. This is a concept that I created about the first manned U.S. mission to the red planet. All models created by me in Bryce5. Post work for starfield done in Universe. I will also posting in the near future the martian lander (Freedom1) landing on Mars. Thanks for viewing... David PS: posted wrong picture, first picture did not have starfield...;-(

Nice model and great composition. However change the lighting to give the Ship a more realistice look or possibly the texture of the ship. Great work!

Thanks for the comment, the only color on the ship is white, some shades of gray , gold and silver. The reasioning behind this is that I was trying to depect as realistically as possible what a real mission by NASA would look like. You don't want to use dark colors because they asorb heat from the sun. As far as lighting is concern this is about as true as you are going to get, there is a lightside were sun light is hitting the ship than there is just nothing, no light except for what light is reflected back from the planet surface. I try doing this as scientific as possible. All part of this ship are drawn, I use very little texturing. I feel this give the picture a more believable edge. The shadow effect in Bryce is turn all the way off, this is the way you would view the ship if you were really there. I hope this explains why you see the ship as is. David ;-)

Amazing work, i know how hard it is to boolean modeling in Bryce. I think the lighting looks perfect for the scene. Again, great job. Bravo
