Cyberion Shows Off His Starbase (November 12, 2004)

[ChrisReid]

Cyberion's latest model is a Kilrathi inspired starbase by Wing Commander 4.

​

Pretty easy model. Didn't take me too long to model, although it has some nice advantages. Originaly it was made to use high resolution textures. So every edge of the base, every corner, is smooth and round. If you take a closer look at the model you will see it. This helps to creat realism when the model has high detailed textures. I hope that one day someone will make them. ;-)

You can grab the files for yourself here.

Isn't the base up side down?
IIRC the base was the other way around...

Yep ! Good Model btw, but it lacks a little additional detail IMO

 

[gevatter Lars]

Yes some nice details would be great...and I think the structures on the side where connected to the hull...at least from the referance shots I made my model from.

 

[Cyberion]

heheh, well first of all it's not upside down . but i have to agree, the model could use more details. I was too lazy to add them at this time and decided to give the model as it is. But i'm looking forward into adding some hull plating, which will make it much better.
So probably soon i'll release the high detailed model.

 

[gevatter Lars]

Mh I think this is how it has to be

 

[Cyberion]

well the thing is that there is no such notion in space as "up" and "down"... so in fact it really doesn't metter if its upside down

 

[ChrisReid]

Well, there's probably gravity on the station and whatnot. So within the base, there'd certainly be an up and down and you'd usualy represent the station externally in that form as well.
