    I totally meant bridge when i said deck in the op. It's one of the options im looking into. I do like the idea of the hanger. I'm gonna take a look through perfect memory a little later today and see what i can find on both, as well as some city shots.

    Just taking a tally here for some ideas. If you could walk around in a macross environment which one would it be. Yes i am making something but i need to narrow it down. 1. there has to be a good amount of reference on it, like anything there is going to have to be some interpretation and fill in the blank but i want the environment to be as close as i can to the show 2. It has to be somewhat iconic and have the macross touch. Sure a chinese restaurant would look nice..but thats just a restaurant. So something a little more MACROSS 3. though i love all of the macross series ( yes even 7) for this first project i'll keep it to the original, trying to capture one of the thinsg that made you an artist in teh first place now that you have the ability to etc etc 4. and last requirement..although i would love to model the entirety of the sdf 1, that is not gonna happen. i am just one freelance game artist doing this in time between projects. So it has to be reasonable..the deck of the ship is reasonable for instance and is one idea. I have thought about just doing a vf-1 with you locked in cockpit but that seems so constrained..maybe the hanger with a vf-1 in it possibly? This will be done in unreal 4 and be completely PBR, if i do include any characters, slight possibility, they will retain their anime look. Not a big fan on realistic portrayals of anime, especially not the ones i grew up with . So feel free to drop any ideas on what you would liek to see...this week ill just be looking things over and finding an idea, next week i will begin a blockout.

    Yea it pretty much has it going in two different directions and two different shapes between the two viewpoints so i just more or less chose between them. Doesn't look like it would be very comfortable to have to two hand this thing but hey..there was war..no time to make these things comfortable. I would really love to build the cockpit for a vf 1 dyrl and drop it into UE4 tied with an occulus rift.

    Just for fun, i used the original sketch from the tv version found in design works. Theres obviously some odd things when you translate a drawing into 3d, like the side button...but such is life. Zbrush, Maya, Photoshop , Marmoset

    Fin' Already started the next piece
  6. SpacePirateNeko
    fixed it up, redid the logo...feel free to use it on your site if you want, its just a portfolio piece...credit it to Neko Zero
  7. SpacePirateNeko
    Sure lemme just finish it up a bit, I redid the logo this morning. I need to just arrange the cans right and fix the glass...which can be a bit wonky in marmoset. Should have it done by tomorrow. I'm looking through perfect memory for something else to make...maybe one of those pay phones or I may make one of the small transport vehicles..eventually over this summer I am going to do a full macross city enviro, vf1 and minnmay in ue4 for use with occulus rift.
  8. SpacePirateNeko
    I'm actually still going to redo the logo before i move onto my next macross side project....though im going to keep it in the same style. BTW if i do put it up on shapeways its going to be a non colored version.
  9. SpacePirateNeko
    Ahhh did someone already make one? I was actually going to ask if anyone was interested if i did a printout on shapeways or similar sites since i do have a high poly version of this.
  10. SpacePirateNeko
    Just a fun little side project i did over the last couple of days while i work on other things. 3.5k poly game asset

    Ouch, thats far for the carless, any MW folks plan on car pooling? I live in Marina Del Rey.
  16. SpacePirateNeko
    Those are tiny, nice work, it's hard to get anything smaller scale to look so nice. Ive had a 1/72 P-51 sitting in its primer stages for over a year

    I lived there for a little bit but couldn't stay because of too many loose ends here and no job there. I stayed with a good friend who has lived there since leaving high school, whom i talk to often. Beside that i have also been there quite a few times, around 6 now. I understand its ups, i understand its downs, i know its problems and i understand the issues involved with living there. I know the economy is also terrible there right now and will likely be getting worse in Japan both politically and economically in the coming years. However i have also lived all over the States, i have lived many places, i have liked none of them in the ways i have liked London and Tokyo ( though i prefer outside of Tokyo). They are just places i feel more natural in and places i enjoy for numerous reasons. None of those reasons have to do with anime, meeting girls in bars, or any other weeaboo tropes, i just know what i like. I have been stuck in LA for quite awhile now and i know whenever i think about life back in Nagoya, it makes me immensely happy. Were i to come into some kind of immense fortune right now, i would own a house in Japan, England and Italy, 3 places i love, however realistically i would like to drive my goals towards the things i enjoy and that make me happy and comfortable. I don't go in blindly with any misconceptions, i just drive slowly towards these goals. This is way off topic for a modeling thread though ( my fault) i would happily talk to you in PM.

    Ok never thought of the led behind the console, next time im doing that.
  19. SpacePirateNeko
    Don't worry you're not coming off harsh at all. Sometimes though you have to take a weird leap like that to find your way, anyway i hopefully may have found a place tomorrow. As for the boxes, i crushed those up a few days ago. I just stacked plastic bags into boxes, when i can get things together, a small job and finish school ill worry about em. Moving back over the Pacific, thats a bit aways in the future.

    On an aside and i know i'm going off topic a bit here, but i just dropped everything in storage and paid it off for a year. I see a few people from across the Pacific here, im finding no places available in LA for what little i have left in my bank account and I'm currently without employment....im starting to get that itch. The itch that gets you on a plane and randomly going to Japan and trying to make something happen because frankly it's now or never (love being in Japan, hate LA). Wouldn't it be ironic though if i did that......eventually importing back all the models i originally brought back from trips to Japan. Ah well, we'll see if i go nuts in the few remaining days and just take a leap of faith.
  21. SpacePirateNeko
    I only have a day and a half to find a place so after 3 or 4 nicely trimmed box covers i just gave up and cut out the names so i could find what was what faster. Stepping on those beautiful boxes was heartbreaking, i used to love to see the stack of boxes in the closet. Oh well, not really in a situation to worry about such things.
  22. SpacePirateNeko
    thanks, in the process now of bagging the smaller stuff, hasegawas etc, gonna keep the larger stuff boxed five star stories etc and the rare stuff. Hopefully i can narrow down 200 kits to 3 boxes
  23. SpacePirateNeko
    So basically, i'm still unemployed and have two days to find a place to live ( no luck so far). Boo Hooing aside, i have decided to throw all my valuables into storage for 6 months....this includes all of my models. Then it hit me, why should i have 9 large boxes taking up the small storage space when i can get rid of all the boxes, put the kits in separate plastic shopping bags with their instructions and prob fit them all in 1 or 2 boxes. So i'm wondering, how many of you actually keep the boxes of kits you model before and after you build the models? Ouch this is gonna hurt....but really i mean..i dont need these boxes....(keeps telling himself that over and over)
  24. SpacePirateNeko
    Although i'm not into figure/toy collecting , i do hope this sells well enough that Hasegawa gets some ideas....
