.: Vector MK II : 3D model info and progress page :.

Images are listed by progress, oldest images at the bottom of the list. Each image is a thumbnail and can be clicked to bring up a larger version.

Model info : this is one of the smallest ships that will be used in the comic, but also one of the most-used. Especially in the earlier chapters of the original storyline, the vector plays an important role and will be used throughout the following chapters and even in the 'aeon' storyline. I plan to make several variations of this ship, since it not only exists in different configurations, depending on its role, but it will also end up being used by various corporations and armies who might modify it to fit their needs. As such, this has to be a complete model, that needs to have enough details in both is geometry and textures to survive even the most extreme close-ups.
Required level of detail : extreme.
Modeling progress : 95% done.
Texturing progress : not started yet.
Current number of polygons : approx 385.000
