USS Theodore update

I wasn´t so happy with the previous impulse engines, so, I changed them. Looks better? I also put some details and colors over the shuttlebay doors.

Rendering tests…

Well, after to correct a lot of mesh errors, I decided it was the time for the first rendering test. Just to see how it is going. There´s still a lot to do, but it don´t turnned out that bad, don´t you think? 🙂

USS Theodore

Well…. I didn’t finish anything, but my shipyards is building a new ship! 😀

New naceles

I solved to change a bit the naceles. See the updated version.

Update!

Update! A few details added. Still a lot to do…

Update

Well, I don´t think the old bay looks right, so, redid it. I also added a few details to the underside, together with a few changes to the armour.

Big, fast and mortal!

Ambitous title, don´t you think? 🙂  Well I present you a new wip. I think this one is one of my bests in Sketchup to date.

News!

To my new and my old friends, here is. As antecipated, the first update after a long iatus!

This post is just to tell you a bit about my absence in the last years, and what I´m doing (and planning) to the upcoming months. The first change is the tag, changed from “Brstarship’s Blog ~ A Weblog about starships, my hobby” to “Brstarship’s Blog ~ A Weblog about starships, one of my hobbys”. I think it makes more sense, and you´ll understand why in the following lines.

In the past years I had to organize my house and give attention to my kids (now in 7 and 12 years old). Unhapyness, in the meantime I lost my mom and a beloved uncle. I was also sidetracked by an old hobby of mine (dormant for years): cultivation of fruit plants in containers. Today I have more than 100 fruit trees (some of them already producing) in pots, and my house isn´t that big, so… I have to ask license to plants when entering in my house. 😀 But it is a good hobby that allows me to relax from the diary work. You can read about my plants here: http://frutasemvasos.wordpress.com. It´s in portuguese (my native language), but Google will help you to translate if you´re interested. 😉

Hollywood isn´t producing great movies these times. Along the years I watched Gost in the Shell – movies and series (very good), Yamato 2199 (excellent), JJ-Star Trek (bad), JJ-Star Wars (not bad, but not so good), Knights of Sidonia (good) and much other movies and shows.

It´s enough about my personal life…

Talking about cgi, I have experienced other softwares too: Sketchup, Sculptris, Groboto, Terragen… Nothing that deserves to be shown, but it openned my eyes for a world different of the old Studio Max. Of course, it contributed to sidetrack me even more. 🙂

I plan to build meshes with Studio Max and sketchup, being Sculptris, Terragen and Groboto, auxiliary tools. Currently I´m working (again) in a klingon ship and in a Excelsior´s concept using Sketchup. You can see the old renderings in my DA account: http://brstarship.deviantart.com/. Later, I´ll export these meshes to 3DSMax and try to finish them.

I also have my hands full of conversions still not finished (as the Discovery class, mesh built by Dmitri in Maya), which I plan to finish and release to the public along the year.

So, after the course had been marked, let´s go!

Updates will come still this month. See you later!

I´m coming back!!

Hello old friends! Yeah, I´m still alive. 🙂
Due to lack of time and other projects, it´s a long time since my last post, which was done in june of 2011… Four years and a half has passed, and no, I haven´t finished my meshes… yet.
My plan is to give a new life to this blog in 2016. Updates won´t come every week, but they will come.
Until there, my votes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you all and your families!!! I hope that next year will be plenty of health, happiness and to much fun for us all.
See you later my friends!
