Olitech Industries Prometheus Build - Collaboration

[Olitech Industries]

Making a record of this build here.

Prometheus Carrier model in progress by my work colleague architect Mark Jordan. I'm directing him, but he is building the 3D model. Like super fast. I will be texturing, lighting, populating and composing. In true Olitech Industries fashion, he is taking 'canon' dimensions as much as possible, then filling in the blanks with real world precedents.

It will be one of the permanent homes for my VF 1:1 project. I will be shooting HDRI panos from it for free so that other artists may use it for lighting and reflections. Examples to come on my VF posts.

But this project truly needs it's own thread.

And thus it begins...

 

He completed the top middle hangar bay the first week. First 5 main elevators.

Second week progress. The stern section on the upper hangar bay.

 

[Olitech Industries]

Also in the second week, some very basic lighting and texturing from me.

I lightly modified and dropped in Michal Ryan's (Senovis) VF1 for scale while mine is still under construction at Skunk Works.

At the end of the second week, I managed to squeeze out some basic paint colours before leaving the office.

Flat Haze Grey for the exterior, Gloss Marine White for the interior. I bumped up the Pad Eye size from about 6" to 10". Anti Skid paint on the Deck.. Hazard Stripes on the Deck, Platforms and Bay Doorways. . I lined up the 'lanes' on the deck to line up with the tracks in the ceiling.

Bay lighting colour is a combination of 3000k (high pressure sodium), 5000k (in mercury vapour) and 6500k in metal halide. Or simply yellow, white teal and white blue.

This project will mainly be Shader and Lighting work for me, as Mark is not as comfortable at complex PBR Shaders as I am...yet. He will be. Oh he will be.....

Wow! Great work so far guys! You're working so fast, too!

[Olitech Industries]

A little more progress today on the deck texture, and signage graphics. Starting to add the support vehicles - standard tow tractor for now, as I haven't built have any Macross ones yet. This one was a freebie from grabcad.

 

 

 

[Olitech Industries]

Some exterior modelling by mark jordan, lit and rendered by me. Still a lot in progress, but you can see where this is going. Hopefully!

Basic textures for now until I distress them for scale.

FYI, I know the catapults are backwards.

 

[Olitech Industries]

Actually nope! The catapults are not backwards. They are the Miyatake design.

Game on!

 

[Bolt]

Great job !

[Olitech Industries]

All work and no play makes Olitech Industries a dull studio.

This is now where we take our breaks. In the Prometheus Hangar.
