Cool design! I love the big chunky engines and the details like RCS thrusters. Little things like that are so often ignored in sci fi because spaceships are usually depicted as "planes in space".

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks! Yeah, I tried to make it somewhat realistic, even though its a sci-fi ship. but in real life, you need small thrusters to rotate the ship in space. 👍‍

[@abdullahhussain8868]

The man made me stuck to blender.love the voice and clearity.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@magnum7424]

Love the practical demonstrations of your workflow. Would love to see more stuff like this.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@MadstonMagic]

Really sick as usual, fun to see such a larger artpiece breakdown from the one and only!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for watching!

[@TetriarchCZ]

Awesome piece of work Ryan! I have quite recently began learning Blender to make assets for my video game and your videos helped me pull through a lot of headaches... Thanks a lot!

[@RyanKingArt]

glad my videos can help!

[@schroedingersdog7965]

Thank you, Ryan! It's always fascinating to see the creative process of an artist such as yourself.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for watching!

[@salvadormarley]

Excellent work. Would love to see how you created the thin black metal strips that surround the glass viewport and how they fit around so perfectly.

[@simonrigby2776]

You sir are a gem. Came for the texture baking tutorials before realising I didn't understand this stuff properly. Really well explained and perfect pace. Subscribed :)

[@RyanKingArt]

glad it helped

Great artwork!

[@sozetteslow]

Oh god i reeeeally love your tutorials/videos

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@fisherman10101]

great tutorial, thank you.....Ryan, just a tip when you're making the bolts you can change the shape of the falloff graph into a soft w (sorry thats the best way I can describe it) and that will give you a hole with a bolt like rise in the middle...ok have just been playing with the falloff graph its not really a soft W the graph works in mirror mode so so going from left to right it something like a log line across the topmost edge, then about 3/4 of the way across a sharp dip down to the bottom then up again to the very top to form the outer lip of the indent.....hope that makes some sort of sense.

[@U-Vocabulary]

Insha'Allah, my dear King, this video will receive 5 million views

[@RyanKingArt]

Haha, that would be cool. But I don't expect it to get that many views.

[@worldkeyvideo9080]

Great little spaceship. I like the cockpit.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@ltraltier6009]

This looks more like something you'd see in No Man's Sky than star citizen. There used to be a free tool that was made so you could quickly randomize a ship texture, but it was deleted because the creator was rightly pissed that people were making hollywood films with it and not crediting him.

[@RyanKingArt]

oh, interesting

Hi Ryan
Great spaceship
Could you make a video on how animating it ?

[@Tomy_Yon]

Wooow, I like the glass cabine. 😊

[@Doubleaa500]

I've noticed how this is similar to how unreal engine 5 does textures. Do you think you would ever get into unreal engine 5?

[@RyanKingArt]

If you textured baked the shaders to texture maps, then I think you could use it in a game engine. although the spaceship is a bit high poly.

[@HandsomeDragon]

Do you have this whole creation process on Patreon from start to finish?

[@RyanKingArt]

no I don't, sorry.

[@HandsomeDragon]

@@RyanKingArt don’t be sorry. I appreciate your tutorials so much and was just curious. I’m already part of your patreon, I’ll be taking a looks at the files. I appreciate you and I thank you a lot 🙏

[@com.zootub.HuyAC.1]

You didnt make any terrain material recently, how about creat one ?

[@RyanKingArt]

maybe

[@xthene]

I will purchase the tutorial

[@xthene]

or rather i would purchase the entire real time recording ..

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks, but I didn't screen record the entire process of making it.

[@solanki5985]

how much exactly is "quite a while", a lot of 3d artist keep saying this, i am also a 3d artist and currently working on ferrari 370z model inside out, it has been more then 15 days already and steal feel like only 80% of modelling has done. i want to get into the industry am really worried about the time it takes, 😢😢

[@lethn2929]

That's all going to be down to practice and even veterans will take a long time modelling this type of thing from scratch and making it look good, to speed things up, what you you should do is focus a bit on making your own custom assets you can drag and drop into the scenes then edit up to match properly with the look you're going for as a time saver which is perfectly normal practice, you've just got to make sure you don't abuse that.

[@RyanKingArt]

I actually started working on this spaceship in August of 2023, so its been almost an entire year since I started it. However, I kinda forgot about it for a while, and there were months that I didn't even work on it at all. Also, I moved across the country last fall, so I was very busy the last few months of last year, as I got settled into my new place. I also worked on this as a side project, as I was making other tutorials, so I only worked on it for little bits at a time. But if I were to work on this as my main project, I'm sure I could make the entire thing in only a week. Hopefully that gives you some insight.

[@PrograError]

@@lethn2929 do you custom model greeblies yourself most of the time? or just hunt for the packs on blender market (tho most of it is kind of low quality or just paid stuff)

[@lethn2929]

@@PrograError I avoid buying assets where possible, greebles aren't that difficult to make, they just take time and if you rely too much on outside assets people are going to immediately spot it and rightly call you out because it's corner cutting, when you get your eye in you see a lot of big studios doing this and trying to pass it off as their own 'unique' work.

[@solanki5985]

thank you ryan for taking time to reply. you are a good teacher, always clear and precise to the point. keep growing. good luck 👍🙂
