illumination5: November 2012
http://illumination5.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 November 2012. Been tinkering with this on and off for about a year but I reckon this will do for now. Called the Sparrowhawk and riffed from the wings of the Crusader jet. The front piece rotates so the craft can change from vertical to horizontal flight for planetary atmospheres. Saturday, 24 November 2012. Those Imperials have eyes everywhere and our little outpost here has been spotted. Hopefully there has been no misbehaving on my part to alert the sensors of any interrogation droids.

Henry Gibbens: Still Challenging...
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2014/05/still-challenging.html
Monday, May 19, 2014. Managed to get the bulk of the texture work done on the Challenger. Scrubbed up quite well. I was going to add in some window boxes to give an impression of rooms behind the windows, but there is a push to get some animated footage produced, so that can take a back seat for the moment. Posted by Henry Gibbens. May 30, 2014 at 12:00 AM. Simply outstanding job on this. I know of the various Jefferies drawings and the one that inspired this. You really fleshed it out. I'm a work'n on it.

Henry Gibbens: March of the Villains...
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2014/06/march-of-villains.html
Sunday, June 15, 2014. March of the Villains. First up, the Klingon D7. I scanned in the decal sheet from the Polar Lights Romulan Battle Cruiser kit, and with a bit of Photoshop manipulation, was able to produce the Romulan variant of this model. Still got some work to do - need to work out some specularity maps, and may add the engine details featured on the remastered TOS version. Posted by Henry Gibbens. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Henry Gibbens: February 2013
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2013. A Touch of TAS. Here's the latest version of Starbase 15. Still more detail to add, only the basic colour scheme at this point but starting to look the part. And here's a rough comp that was needed for an on screen graphic during filming on the Ajax bridge later this week. Posted by Henry Gibbens. Sunday, February 17, 2013. That's Still No Moon.

Henry Gibbens: April 2014
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. From the Hard Drive. Real life has demanded a bit more of my attention than I would like, hence I am still in the process of trying to texture the Capital Ship which is proceeding at a geological pace. Thought I would post a few images of a couple of projects which are stuck in development hell while I try to find some free time. Posted by Henry Gibbens. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ranger Deep Space Vessel. I'm a work'n on it. Lost Horizon (Pt 4). What’s this now?

Henry Gibbens: August 2014
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 2, 2014. Not me, couple of years before I hit that milestone, but this is my 50th post according to my Blogger stats. The more recent release of Cinema 4D comes with a nifty Camera Calibrator utility that allows you to define x,y and z axes from an image and will then set up a camera and scene to match. Makes trying to align elements of the 3D model to the set a hell of a lot easier. Some work in Modo with some fix up in Cinema produced this result. Here's the progress so far. Since this...

Henry Gibbens: June 2014
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 29, 2014. There was a request for a space station as part of the credits sequence for Challenger. The brief was for something TOS in look but not the bog standard K7. There was Masao Okazaki's. Watchtower class station used in the Vanguard novel series, but Tobias Richter has already done an outstanding version of this which is appearing in 'Yorktown: A Time To Heal'. I had noticed the G5 station over at modelling site Tyken's Rift. Posted by Henry Gibbens. Sunday, June 15, 2014.

Henry Gibbens: November 2013
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 9, 2013. Here is one of those odd ironic moments. My Dad used to work as an engineer on Britain's Polaris submarine fleet. My latest project has been some model work for Neo-F/X for Dennis Bailey's ' Starship Polaris. Project. Odd, huh? My first build is an Atlas class Transhuman Authority Transport - as outlined in the sketch below - I think the artist may be Jason 'Vektor' Lee who designed and built the hero Polaris vessel. With that nailed down, I moved on to the damaged version.

Henry Gibbens: February 2015
http://www.hjgibbens.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Moving Pictures, Moving Music . Last few months have been pretty busy, so time for an update or two. Had a chance to help out Michael Struck at Neo F/X with some modeling work for the upcoming Starship Farragut episode. The brief was for a space station with a combination of TOS and ring elements. A combination of elements that came together quite well. Look forward to seeing it in the episode. Posted by Henry Gibbens. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ranger Deep Space Vessel.
