Millenium Falcon

This model took a long time to complete. The datestamps on my WIP images tells me that between the first and last image was 7 months, and that seems about right to me. I think The modelling on the Falcon is substantial, and even now I don't think I did it justice in all the nurnies and greebly parts. It's incredible how much detail is on the original ILM models (and the full scale mockups). The months spent modeling it were well spent however, as I'm happy with the end product. The model isn't so massive as to be difficult to render for animation, which was my ultimate goal for my MF, but was detailed enough to withstand close flybys. This version of the Falcon is unique. I incorporated my favourite parts from all the 'canon' models available to arrive at what I hope is a good blend of features for a quality Millenium Falcon. The textures by comparison were easy, and properly lit this falcon does hold up well for fanfilm animations - although I've yet to see it used to my knowledge. I'd call this my best model to date, just for the sheer effort it took to produce and for the precision I tried to model it by. There isn't much to animate on the Falcon, but what there is I've properly rigged up - both turrets and guns, the walkway and the radar dish. |
