More of an exercise in lighting, post production and materials, this project was to test and develop rendering subjects in science fiction. The model was taken from SU's 3D Warehouse. The inspiration for this particular scene can be found here.

The ship was named after Chinese explorer and mariner Zheng He.

New design blueprints made w/SU7 with perspective
turned off. Imported and finished in GIMP.


Modeled using the Fredo6 plugin Curviloft


USS Expedient design was made while trying out a new plugin for SU7 called Curviloft. It was used on parts of the saucer section as well as the nacelle supports. Projected texture mapping was used to mark the hull with name and registration number. Post production went much faster after completing the previous Zheng He project.
