That looks pretty awesome man. I am a huge fan of models, and we have a lot of amateur modelers at CCP, but you are making some next-level pro stuff.

If you could file a support ticket in the Community Category under "Other Issues" and we can work out all the details :)

And so it begins, .here I have scaled wireframe renderings to be used for templates and who knows what else.

Created using TriExporter and Autodesk Maya via mentalray.

If anyone is interested the texture is a simple white Lambert with Contour Rendering enabled
around every poly face, its found in the mentalray attribute options.


Approximate length of the images are 400mm which will result in a scale of 1:333 (rounded).

I hope CCP think they would like a bunch of awesome large scale models in the lobby of CCP HQ.

Best of luck, mate!

Looks great and nice to see another kiwi playing! Big smile

I would so love to buy a curse model but that price range is a bit too much for a college student Cry

Wow! That starship model looks amazing!

It would be awesome if CCP were to allow you to build some of the in-game ships. Big smile

Always wanted a starship model with working electronics, especially a minmatar one. Smile

On a side note,

That SS2 model is amazing. SS2 is seriously an amazing, under-rated game that far exceeds it's spiritual successor (bioshock).

Quite the awesome tribute.

Seems like OP should check if Baltasar Kormákur needs any help with the EVE TV series.

I remember this thread!

I hope you do an incursus/merlin/punisher/rifter set at some point!

The Venture looks awesome so far.

The battery operated vibrating Thorax would be a big hit.





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I think they have a couple, have seen some in glass cabinets in the background of CCP videos before.
How impressive would a model room be of every single one though??

Agreed 100%. I still have an original copy and play it once every 2-5 years!
The Bioshock franchise did nothing for me, play and bin pretty much.

They should just remodel their HQ to look like an Erebus.
