Magellan Greyscale

The greyscale is done. I think in this case I will work a bit more in the color than in the greyscale as there aren't as many panels as in the previous models

Magellan line work

After completing the Skylab and a quiet night, back to work and this time it is the Magellan satellite in launch configuration. I already had done the AO bake and the size is much smaller than all the other so far so I have already completed the line work.

This one should be completed within a week.

 

Skylab completed

I have decided that it looks good enough. I can't find reference that will go close enough to the detail so I think that this is it for the skylab.

Skylab almost there...again

Almost there... I can't seem to be satisfied with the final texture.

I will add a few details and highlights and will move on to the Agena Docking Target. Otherwise I won't finish this ever.

I have two nights to finish this.

Skylab progress

I am currently finishing the greyscale of the new texture.

It is taking quite a while but it is definetively worth it if you compare it to the texture I did as a test originaly and that had stayed for some time.

This will be the base for the coloring process.

Remodelling and Unwrapping Skylab completed

I have finally completed the geometry rework in the Skylab model.

Next will be to continue texturing which is always more fun.

I have a flat colour with panel lines version. I will have to add the line detail for the new geometry and then start adding the shadows and grime. Looking forward to it.

Skylab remodeling

After starting retexturing I am also remodeling a couple of sections of the skylab. I have tested the polycount with the MIR already so I am quite happy to add a few polys to this one.

I have added a few details to the cilindrical body and remodeled the whole antena section.

I am currently adding the structure bars that hold the whole thing in place.

A bit of extra work makes a massive difference.
