Oh mah damn. That is epic. Not sure if it beats the Tron Legacy trailer, but for a random Macross fan, who isn't being paid to make something awesome (do internets count?), it's just as good, if not better in that respect.

I did not have time to work on this model for quite some time for personal reasons, but I am proud of what I am presenting to you ladies and gentlemen today.

Some details below, but surely more to follow!

Thanks for looking!!! :)

This is really the best 3D rendition of the SDF-1 TV version.

Cheers man!

I like what you have here, but the lights are a tad too large for this interpretation. I think you should make them smaller in diameter, and dim them. It looks like your taking the dimensions from the Takatoku/Matchbox toy.

Also the lasers...make it appear ROWTECHISH. :lol: Omit those!!

Great job on the rendering. I am not aiming to discourage you. Just looking at it from the outside looking in.

Very nice. Any plans to include a bit of ambient light? I know it's not accurate but I personally think a very low intensity ambient light will give it a bit of depth. Looking forward to the full clip! :D

I did many pre-visualizations and I wanted to stay as physically accurate as possible for my own learning process. Having said that, I do have some pre-visualizations with ambient light, but I will use it only for compositions when the ship is on Earth's atmosphere (such as the pic I posted earlier, when it is on its launchpad). Getting the textures right (or not so awful, I should say) was very hard and also getting the parallel light right (i.e. sun rays) was very hard. So I want to crack one problem at a time before I submerge myself into atmospheric effects.
