Earth-Link: Zero
« on: January 10, 2010, 04:46:33 PM »
This thread will be for my animation project, Earth-Link: Zero and its updates. I could actually use a bit of help with this project, as I am still kind of new to the 3-d world, with modeling and texturing and all.

Theres a bunch of stuff done, but theres still a whole other bunch of stuff that I need to get done.

At any rate, heres some of what I have of this project.






And here are some concepts of the main ship of the series, the Spitfire:





Criticism is welcome.

Animation wise you are fine (thats putting it lightly, those animations are bloody awesome!). What exactly do you need help with modelling wise? The Modelling itself?

Well, all I can say is join the club. I'm still stuck at that phase lol. Just curious, is this project a school project or just something for a bit of fun?

Those ships give off strong Space Battleship Yamato-vibe..(AKA "Starblazers")

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

Yea, the ships are supposed to be naval in design. No wave motion guns though. Sorry. ;)
