Back on the Wagon!

I haven't posted anything "Vast Space" related in a while. Real life often intrudes while trying to work on my projects. There are several assets left to create for the "Vast Space" movie short. Since I created the SpartanFlower (Hugo's ship) in Electric Image Modeler using NURBS, it doesn't seem to come into Maya very well. I'll have to either figure out a workaround or refine my model in Silo.

I believe I'll try modeling the terrain in Silo first before opting to get EON Vue to model terrain.

Still have to redesign the interior of the SpartanFlower for a more realistic layout.

Below are my first attempts about three years ago (uggh):

Type-55 Jump Yacht

Couldn't wait to work on this vehicle. It won't be used in the movie short, "Vast Space", but hopefully it will be in another part of the series. It's a corporate personal yacht - the smallest with a Corinthian Jump Drive - that is generally used by upper corporate personel to get from place to place quickly.

Hugo Vast Turntable

Here's a turntable that I made of Hugo Vast.


EVA Robot Walk cycle

Finally got around to creating a simple walk cycle for the EVA Robot. It still needs a bit of bounce at the end of steps, but it's a 'step' in the right direction (*groan*).

I've done some simple, simple environment tests for the planet surface that the SpartanFlower will land on. I'm hoping to work on that some this week and perhaps finish the landing gear for the SpartanFlower as well.
