I am a huge Star Wars fan, and was really impressed by the Star Wars: The Old Republic trailers by Blur Studios. A particular ship, that did not receive much love in the trailers or the subsequent games, was the Sith Fury Class Interceptor.

I decided to create my own high-res version of this ship. This has been done a few times before, but I wanted to style it closer to the Tie Fighters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I really liked the hints of red in all the First Order craft, as well as the shiny, dark surfaces that they had. The textural quality was fantastic, and so I wanted to replicate that in this asset.

I will take this into a full shot in the future, but I am pleased with the CG results thus far. I will be sure to post again when I have taken this further!

Cheers,

Just a quick one, but I created this still life concept in Maya, Arnold, Nuke and Photoshop.

Here is the layer contact sheet out from Maya that was used in the compositing process:

The compositing process was not extensive. It mainly involved adjusting the specular highlights and adding lens effects such as flares, chromatic aberration and lens distortion.

Here is the Nuke script:

I will be taking this much further through  the production, so will share more when I have it.

Thanks for reading!
