ZOIC Studios / SF Channel -- Battlestar Galactica - PILOT episode & The Mini Series
Below you'll find a selection of images of the work I undertook for the Pilot show that aired on the SF channel just prior to XMas 2003 in the USA of the remake of the classic Series Battlestar Galactica.
The Battlestar Galactica
The ship herself - Battlestar Galactica - my part in her construction was the entire Engine section and detailing thereof. Texturing was undertaken by other artists at ZOIC after modelling was finished. Way back in 2003 I personally didn't have a machine capable enough of loading this beast and rendering it in its entirety - Heck just my highly detailed Engine section was maxing out the machine I had at the time!!
The Advanced workstations at ZOIC had no problem. Just recently though I realised that my current workstation - now eleven years later - was more than capable of this task - so just for fun I loaded her up and revisisted it and produced some ultra high resolution renders for all the fans out there - Enjoy!
The VIPER
After the Battlestar Galactica show got commissioned for a new TV series - I was contracted to Re-Texture the Newly styled Vipers in the show to match them to the now heavily battle worn versions that were being used as actual Studio sets.
The Images show a comparison of the Newly re-textured battle-worn viper as compared to the original used in the Mini series Premiere
The Old Style Shuttle
more or less identical to the one from the original series in the Seventies - My job on this was texturing of the model.
The Modern Shuttle
This is a more modern type of shuttle that was seen in the show - I spotted two of them in the hangar deck at one point...Again my job here was to texture the model.
The Gemini Freighter
This ship - another dedication to the original series - was seen in a few shots in the new show - it's the Gemini Freighter..Again here my job was texturing of the model..
The VIPER PILOT
A few shots in the show required a stand in pilot for destruction when their Viper gets destroyed by Cylon raiders - I modelled and textured a Medium Detail pilot for this shot - helmet is a stand-in provided for reference -- I was also asked to make various versions for future use.
