First Sketchup Project

Post by tezunegari »

I recently started with Sketchup and here's my first project:

This small U-Haul (in Space!) is based on the Ebon Hawk from the KotOR games but has a more symmetric design that offers more internal space.

Pretty basic so far.

The dual-engine will definitely be replaced with a more Millennium Falcon style engines, maybe I'll even add a dish.
No idea about the weapons placement yet but top and bottom will have at least one big turreted turbolaser.
The hollow part is going to be the internal layout: cargo / crew / medbay / sanitary installation.

Any ideas, inspiration, chocolate-chip cookies? :mrgreen:

for pics for us, select model, hide lines, and do a decent shadow effect.

it's a nit hard to look at at the moment :)

Not many changes made, real life always gets a bit bitchy whenever I want to do something with my computer. :roll:

The central part is now wider and I removed the overbite of the original. The cockpit will be moved upwards with panorama window.
The wing thingies are rounded and the transition isn't as sudden anymore.
For the rear I thought about seperating the engines into two strips to keep closer to the original design.

I hope these pictues are easier on the eyes. :mrgreen:

Quick update.

Found the Animation feature... couldn't resist.

The new Cockpit is now added, but I' m not completely satisfied with it.

An opening for the landing ramp is now were the original cockpit was located.

I just hope the yt-embedding works... :mrgreen:


Lighting improved by Youtube.
