I decided to start working on a spaceship in Blender. I do this from time to time and it seems like each time I get a little better. I have never been very accomplished in 3d work so I am proud of what I accomplished in four hours worth of work. Here is what I have so far:



I started with a rough shape and just started forming it as I went. Normally I have a pretty hard time just thinking about the model in my head and then building it, but this time it seemed to go pretty smooth. So far the back is the only thing with a lot of substantial work on it and it is only about 60% detailed, so I still have a lot of work to do. I rendered some shots of the back section:





The original concept was based on Serenity (from firefly). Once I started though the model began to take on a different form so very little is left of the original firefly concept (the spinning grav ring made it though).

Speaking of firefly, I discovered this show yesterday on hulu.com and proceeded to watch the entire season. I had always heard that it was pretty good, but I had never seen it. All I can say is I loved it. It was so good my day became really sucky because I realised that they aren't going to make anymore seasons. Now I understand why everyone was so upset. Oh well at least I have the movie (which I plan on purchasing as soon as I have money). Everyone should go watch firefly now goramit. You wont be disappointed.
