Yep, it's the way he just drops something like that down after a few days as a 'sketch'. Just stunning. Good work.

nyce idea the isometric view.Good pics.
Added a dropship
Still playing, but I think this is the direction I plan to go - more details and more mechs of course (with textures too).
This time I used a true isometric camera to do the rendering. I changed the textures on the fortress to look less medieval (I still have to add guns to those platforms). I added a dropship, since the besiegers are supposed to be overwhelming - this makes it more overwhelming!
This is a low resolution preview. I'll create much high res, when its closer to completion.

PS: thanks for all the praise, my head's getting so big, I can't hold it up anymore!

Do you render the fortress in Xara? If yes could you maybe do a short tutorial about it? I would like to see how you do it.
If not, what are you using for it?

That lil mech looks so cute...can I say cute? Anyway, nice job so far.

Xara surface image, Raydream 3D...
Xara is not a 3D application. The only thing done by Xara in this map is the texure on the surface - that is the forest, ground, water, stony textures - the image on the terrain is all Xara.Originally Posted by Sagenlicht

The rest of this design was created using Raydream Studio, an old, nolonger supported 3D application - its the first 3D software I got, and its easy to use, but the rendering isn't all that.
The dropship and the Madcat were modeled using Izware Nendo. I will be creating a few more mechs and probably redoing the mountains with Nendo, texture applied in Raydream and re-rendered.
I created a height map based on the Xara terrain design, used a 3D terrain generator (built into Raydream) to create that 3D surface.
That's about it, so far!

Oh wow, and I thought this looked good on the CBT site... Very nice... (also i sense that be it wolves or vipers that attack us falcons... the Lyran term "hozed" best describes their fate!)
Smoke trails and Comic Cover design
While I was creating my missle models, practicing with smoke trail graphics, I decided to create the cover art for my comic book - the theme for the backstory (just add some extra fun!)
I'm doing some research on the Wolf Clan and the Jade Falcon Clan to get the story "right". Clan Wolf has received some Intel that the Jade Falcon planet called Samarkand is a secret black ops science laboratory - and its a little too close to Wolf Clan space lanes. So it needs to be eliminated.
Anyway, enjoy - I really hope to create a 2 or 3 page comic to go with this...
