This is a civilian freighter-style craft, done with 3DSMax2.5. As with many of my works, it´s for a RPG/TTG setting of mine, in this case 'Raygun&Cutlass: Pirates of the Caryb Cluster', an SF RPG/Wargame on space pirates.

This looks pretty cool. Kudos on the texture mapping. Like the ship design.

But what if the "floor" is the Flight Deck of a much bigger ship? ;c)

This is sweet... I like the amount of detail that went into it, and the tiny figures used to convey scale. The floor is a little unsatisfying though.

I have to say, I love this image. The shape is just awesome! I also have to say 2.5???!!! You must have had the patience of a saint! (Max 2.5 was never particularly stable on my comp and I was overjoyed to get the later versions!!)

Perhaps a little more work on the textures and lighting (both the hardest things to get right unfortunately as I've often proved to myself..)
*Grins* I just can't get over the shape... really really great!

Really? My 3dsmax runs very stable on my ME-equipped P4 800hmz 256mb Ram unit... ok, occasionally it just shuts down, but this happens veeery seldomly. And backup ops enabled saves you trouble."

what is it...?

A mechanical second chin??

I must say, I admire your restraint, discipline? No wings or fins anywhere. Unlike what I would have done for more "detail."
21 Jul 2009:-) Jacob S Wendel
A nice "far future" design. The lack of wings or such combined with the smooth form gives it a very advanced look. The style and size of the landing gear looks a bit primitive in comparison though, and the figures on the ground are hard to make out because of the colors used - I didn’t notice them at all until they were pointed out in the comments.
