Here is the USS Essex in orbit around Mars. The Essex will soon rendezvous with Mars Explorer1 which has recently just returned from a refit (the attachment of a new Mars Lander

Supurb modeling as always.
hey man whats up.. i finally started another craft., hopefully it will be a little more less complex then the last but cooler. The one thing i was gonna ask though is at any point are you gonna attemp windows on any of your models? Just an idea but it might be neat for an up close passing shot.
Wow; spectacular detail as usual. I wonder if there should be more reflective flares visible on the starboard tanks where it is shadowed.
Just curious...
The only nit-picking little detail I would change is that I would make the stars crisper. They don't all have to have halos.
Beautiful, I'd love to see the wireframe on this one! Not to gainsay Evermore, but at least on this model forget about any windows, it would throw off the scale. Also, I hate windows because I make them for a living! I especially like what you did around the engines, seems very complex...
Speaking as a spaceship nut here, I'd be interested in seeing the wireframe as well. God knows, I need the lessons! Keep it up - it's one cool series. :)
IF any one is interested you can check out the wireframe to this model and many more by going to my web site at the link above (Sponsored By) and clicking on "The Art of Boolean". Thanks for your comments. David ;-)
fantastic spaceship, a splendid work
I'm very impressed with the time and commitment required to make something like this using booleans. The only suggestion I have is to use some textures with a bit more grit and grime to make the ship seem less perfect and more organic.
jamesg, thanks for your comment. Question; why would you want the ship to show grit and grim? I'm not doing Sci-Fi. I'm trying to depict what a real mission to Mars might look like. Remember that the life expectancy of a ship that is going to Mars and back to earth is about 3 years in travel time and orbit. This ship never will enter the atmosphere nor will it be dragged through any galactic mud hole. So you would virtually never see any type of weathering on the ships hull. NASA has perform extensive research on different types of material that they would use to build a interplanetary ship to travel to Mars and they would just not use material that would degrade over such a short period of time and jeopardize the ships crew. If you take the ISS for example the first part being launched back in December of 1998 you can not see to this day any deterioration of the outer hull of the spacestation. I hope this explains why you see the ship as it is. Again thanks for your comment. David ;-)
