Community Event / Creation My attempt at 3d modelling

[AndrewF]

I've spent a little time trying to create the Elite Dangerous logo using a 3d modelling package...

Below are the results, image and a link to a small video clip.

I know the head isn't right, but it was the best I could do given I only had some 2d pictures to work from.

This is the current state of my Cobra so far.

Adding in all the details now.

It is a good job Andrew
I think i can't do better than you

 

[AndrewF]

Some more details added to the Cobra...

Let me know if you can think of other details I should add to it.

 

[Kinderman]

Good effort Andrew, far better than I could come up with...

Let me know if you can think of other details I should add to it.

Additional thrusters? :S

 

[W4rSkuLL]

Nice work

 

[Jenner]

Nice!

As for details, maybe have some heat dissipation panels extended?

 

[AndrewF]

Thanks guys.


Hmm... heat vents... I'll give it a go.

 

[AndrewF]

Heat vents and smoke trails...

 

[Kerrash]

I like the emissive lighting on the heat vents. What 3D package are you using?

 

[AndrewF]

3ds.

I can put the model file on my dropbox if you'd like...

The cobra flying into an asteroid base...
