ISS DAEDALUS by Ulrich Kuehn

So, I finished the work on the ISS DAEDALUS...

I´ve added a Texture for the Windows and finished the Lighting today...
Now this Baby is ready for action in the Romulan Sector...

I´m satisfied with this model - in fact: it´s just my second finished model ever (the first was the ISS SCHARNHORST)...

By making this DAEDALUS-CLASS Ship I´ve learned a lot in modelling with MAX 2009 and I know, that this model was not my last made with this program.

Congrats on another completed model. That's always a nice feeling, when you get one done. Nice work, it looks great.

I remember the Scharnhorst, that's a cool model.

Congrats Ulrich!

The ship is looking excellent.

Many thanx...
Here is a first Wallpaper with the DAEDALUS - more will coming soon...

Pretty nice. Lighting looks a bit off though... the way it's hitting the ship compared to how it's hitting the planet.

evil_genius_180 · December 12th, 2012, 05:16 PM

Yeah, it looks like the light hitting the planet is from the front upper right, (from our perspective) whereas the light hitting the ship is from the front upper left. Other than that minor thing, it looks good.

You´re right...
The reason is, that I´ve rendered the Backpic seperatly. And by rendering the Ship I´ve changed the point of view, that I´ve planned to use.
I´ve seen it too late, that I´ve changed the angle of the whole scene (with lights) an not only the angle of the Model (without lights)... (argh...)

I´ll reder the scene new the next days...

I also plan to make the cover for my Fan-Fiction-Episode: "INHERITANCE OF THE EMPIRE - Part II" next time, and I guess both pics are ready to post it next WE...

BTW:
Did anybody know, where I can find blueprints or orthographic pics of the Kodan-Mothership (The last Starfighter)...??
I have made some screenies from it, but they are not as good as Orthos, and it´s tricky to see some of the details...

I really like the Kodan-Mothership, and I plan to model it in 2013...

I´ve learned a lot by modelling this Ship and I hope to make it better and better by my next projects...

I´ve re-textured also my DAEDALUS-CLASS and made a new version for my MU. Thank god, but I had not written the total length in my story "Rescuer of the Empire". So, now the MU-DAEDALUS has also a length of 186,2 Meters, like the Primary-Universe ships.

Here is a beauty-shot of the ISS CAROLINA / ICC-160 (ICC = Imperial Construction Contract).
All artwork by me.

I love the DAEDALUS design

evil_genius_180 · September 10th, 2020, 06:33 AM

That's a really sweet image. I also love the Daedalus design.

ulimann644 · September 12th, 2020, 01:45 AM

Many thanks.
I´ll make some Orthos and renders from different angles from this class for an Overview-Sheet this WE (and maybe the next days).

gmd3d · September 12th, 2020, 02:44 AM

cool looking forward to the Orthos
