Description
I know, I know, I'm all over the place! My recent images have included a landscape, a pin-up, a portrait, an animal picture, and now sci-fi ships - what's going on! Just my endless experimenting I guess.
These are the first images that I have posted using Vue 7 Pioneer - the free beta - I seem to be getting more crashes with this than previous versions of Vue! Still it is free...
I am indebted to Chipp Walters - a real Vue hero - for his technique in modelling this kind of ship right in Vue. The ship was modelled from scratch entirely in Vue, textured and the scene set up in about 30-40 minutes start to finish, plus a similar time to render each image. You can find his tutorials to do this here:

The light beams were added in postwork. I hope you like - and forgive my eclectic approach recently. Thanks for looking and for all the recent comments, I really appreciate the feedback! Phil

Awesome !!! Nothing wrong with being all over the place. In art it's best to follow your muse. Let her take you where ever she leads because inspiration can comes from the most unlikely places.

Ecclectic is good. It keeps the excitement going and , well, produces images like this. I like it. And I'm going to check out the tuts.

Great scene and excellent model! It's great that you're experimenting in different genres. I find it really satisfying to hop from one theme to another, in fact it's nearly pinup time on my gallery. Sigh, I guess someone's got to do it! I've just bought Chipps interior pack for Vue 6 so I'll be delaying any upgrade for the time being.

Outstanding Phil!

Excellent work!!!

Very nice - and I bet a bit less controversial than MY recent stepping out of form LOL! Guess we all have to experiment or we end up in a rut. Nice job!
