David Gian-CursioI think this model has gotten far enough to upload the traditional obscure first WIP image. #LightWave3D #3DArt
I started off using Kier Darby's old White Star tutorial and his model as reference, and then began adjusting the spline cage. One big thing I wanted to improve on from the original TV model was how the different sub-assemblies fit into each other. On the left is the way it was on the show (by way of Kier's model), on the right is my version, where I blend the lower nose into the lower hull/undercarriage/girdle. #LightWave3D #3DArt #Babylon5 #WhiteStar
New WIP renders of my White Star model. The modeling of the main shapes is done, but there's still a lot of detailing that needs to be added, including all the weapons and mechanical parts, the fighter bay, bridge interior, and painted texture maps.
Updates on the White Star, with glowing yellow areas, engine vanes, and landing gear added.

Mastodon ate my last update, so, doubling up. I finished the weapons and sensors on the wings and nose, and have started working on a low-res bridge interior, beginning with the season 3 version of the set. #LightWave3D #3DArt #Babylon5 #WhiteStar
Since my last update, I finished the season 3 version of the White Star bridge (in all its forms), have been plugging away on the season 4/5 version, and took a quick break to construct the bridge for the Blue Star and resurface Nadab Göksu & William Johansson's model of that ship for PBR after stitching the bridge into it. #LightWave3D #3DArt #Babylon5 #WhiteStar
I've updated my blog post on the "celtic knot" insignia used on different White Stars with illustrated recreations (suitable for avatars). I've also finished the production version of the bridge, and will be moving on to doing the variants seen in seasons 4 and 5. https://www.gian-cursio.net/2023/09/white-star-insignia/ #LightWave3D #3DArt #Babylon5 #WhiteStar
Mary Beth Rudis@davidcgc I still say it (White Star ship) looks like a plucked chicken #B5Forever love those Celtic knot designs, especially the triangular ones
