After many months the ship can finally be previewed on Trekmovie.com I'm really thrilled that many people like it!

Considering the short time period I had to design the Aventine, I'm quite happy with the result. As many other ships this is an ongoing project that will be brushed up some more in the next couple of months.

Dimensions;
Length: 672 meters
Width: 182 meters
Height: 87 meters

3D specs:
Model in NURBS format.
Amount of objects: 1290
Filesize: 1.1GB (stacks collapsed)
RAM useage: around 4gb in workmode & 6gb during render. (Once converted to poly this will go down to aprox. 1gb during render.)

*Dust off!

Hectic month! So far this has been the least productive/artistic/design year that I ever had. This has everything to do with my attempt to buy a house. Next time I will just ask for a cave with a internet connection! What a time consuming, stressfull event. However it's a much needed event. I will be back to FULL creative potential in june 2010, for now we just have to do with the timebits I get here and there. :)

About the Aventine: I delivered a mediocre animation to Margaret about a week ago, it should be on Trekmovie soon. It shows some more of the Aventine's shape. I'm not an animator, it's new and has a different set of rules than print work. It's kind of fun to animate so I'm playing with the idea to storyboard a longer animation that is based on the Aventine. Battle with a borg cube using the new cannons? :)




Some other stuff I did these days:

I did a quick design (30 mins) of my future kitchen. Too expensive ofcourse so I had to compromise. (Something I hate doing.)




Oh and I moved one screen down my other screen, so that the lower one has all the tools for 3ds max. It's quite useful, but I still move my mouse up to the tools instead of down....not fully used to it yet.



I think that's it for now, thanks for reading!
