If we never would try to overcome the boundary of gravitation we would miss evolution. We have to understand all ourselves as one chaotic, perfectly creative mind-body of mankind as a part of a greater living mind-body, called earth. Let`s all together try to trespass the curtains of ignorance, greed and political or religious blindness in mind . WE ARE ON OUR WAY INTO SPACE, and we are - for sure - no way the only living beings in an endless universe! BIO My regular name is Waldemar Barkowski, I was born in Duesseldorf, Germany in 06/12/1952. ( Gosh, a grandpa!? - not yet, buds, there`s still quite a lot to do until I`ll change dimension ) I graduated in graphics - design / visual communication in 1977 ( yeah, in the pre comp aera ;o)) in producing a toon movie, painting each frame manually then, it was a pain to draw `n paint.. Over the years I did so many different things, don`t want anyone to get bored with it, in short: Freelance work as a layouter, airbrush illustrator, art director, cartoonist, 3D designer ( yes - building real things with real tools ;o)). Free artist and (space-)rock musician as well. The latter brought me into 3D graphics and video work, having been the one of us to care about the stage shows of our band. Much of my Bryce stuff around the web had been part of these virtual journeys... I really learned to love Bryce and many an other of those nifty tools in the meantime. Well - there is no "big philosophical background" around my work and life, but one: We all are born into our places to learn and do our service as we can, even if we don`t understand the meaning of this, just says we`ve still to learn. We are responsible to our thoughts and deeds, to our children ( even if I don`t have some ) , to our environment, to our next ones. Avoiding war begins in our own brains, the force of OUR minds is a building block for all these forms in our 3D real world. Fighting for peace and freedom must never happen with arms, no way. Our weapon is CREATIVITY! Let us boldly go together where no one has been before! Have fun! :D Waldemar

How cool is this! Love the inventive, colorful and super fun spaceship and scene. This is delightful sci-fi.

That's...yeah...that makes sense. Great idea. Bit clean for a container ship though isn't it? Good job.

Holy frak!! You did this in Hex??? Every time I try to export a textured model from Hex it crashes on me. This is brilliant! I'm blown away by how realistic this is - and mostly by the textures for all the cargo containers - just amazing work!

THis is an awesome Idea, great effects on the engines!...very nicely done!...like to see more!..
ThrommArcadia
Excellent design. That's actually pretty much how I figure the future will look.

Thanx@all! :-) Rogue Pilot: Many containers are worn and dusty when you see them close up. The ship itself is not meant to land at all, and therefor keeps clean in space. ;-) RodS: the texture work was done in UVMapper pro. Hex was a pain in the ass with this...

This is a fantastic concept =) Great work with the modelling, mapping and the Bryce render as well~ Superb image, a favorite!

This is really good! I follow global shipping and trade passing through the Solent in the UK. The steady progress towards bigger and bigger ships is remarkable, but this takes things to another level! Terrific work Sir!!

Well when you make an appearance you do so with authority...Though I've not had the pleasure (of yet) seeing your earlier work to date and seeing that this is the 1st time in almost a year since you've posted I'll be going back and looking over your gallery now especially when presenting art in such grand detail as this. Though this is a combination of 2 different programs being that one is Bryce is what gets my attention since that is the program that dominates my very existence....rofl.. This Cargo Ship is of Top Shelf design and look forward to seeing new work in the future from you and hopes there's not such a long gap in between uploads for those of us that like what you create!...(smiles).. But do understand life gets in the way at times as well.. Oh BTW ..Nice to make your acquaintance...(smiles).. ~Will~
