Cylinder, this is the start of the engine
step 1 of 14
step 2 of 14
Do some poly modelling to get the end in, some bevel, some extrude inner, extrude
step 3 of 14
Same thing on the back end.
step 4 of 14
Add some loop cuts and grab the points and move the shape around.
step 5 of 14
Continue with a little more modeling
step 6 of 14
This is how it looks now. Before hyper nurbs
step 7 of 14
After Hyper Nurbs.
step 8 of 14
After a little while playing and trying new things. This is the engine. Duplicated it to make two and used a moved about swept spline to connect the two.
step 9 of 14
This is the main part of the pod. It started as a cube with a bunch of extrudes, etc, then some little objects here and there building up the shape. All from my head, no reference or source.
step 10 of 14
Added more detail in different forms. swept nurbs on splines or cylinders.
step 11 of 14
This is some of the detail closer up. The handles were particularly fun to make.
step 12 of 14
To create the effect of the engines burning I used emitters with a load of spheres flying from the back of the engines. In a textured version a pyrocluster flame effect could be added.
step 13 of 14
Landscape, play with until happy.
step 14 of 14
The emitter in the background creates the "Stars" which are a bunch of spheres really far away. The lighting is a simple daylight set-up. and done.
