Description Built a really simple modular cargo unit for the Antares. The textures came out diagonal again for some reason, but it worked well enough for this shot. Rendered in Carrara 5.

The Antares always confuse me as a cargo ship because I was always wondering where the cargo went.

But now, you've added the missing element and it looks perfect!

Well, the last one was very blue, so I had to do one with the complementary color.

Works for me. And for you. I wish I had more an eye for bold colors.

I guess you DID like the cargo add on idea
These look great and it's neat to have something custom built and textured for the job!

You certainly started something now lol, I couldn't get that damned tune out of my head a week so I dug out the movie, course the guy I'm teaching 3ds max to hadn't seen it so he took the disc to watch at home next thing I know hes doing up a colourscheme for a freighter hes been working on "R.D. Transport, Albe." mad, totally bonkers, but so nice to see again after all these years. Nice spin on the tug here. Modular cargo is the way to go.

What troubles me is that you actually *have* this silly old movie on disk!

I suspect my fanfic universe will have a much higher population of these space trucks from now on...

Oh yes and whats more my student ( ) has informed me that he's bought the original soundtrack off of Ebay. I can see me getting very very sick of hearing McCall's rasp.

Nice! Makes me want to watch the "Convoy" movie again... It would be great if someone remade it as space set Sci-Fi though

I'd pay a dollar to see that.
