It's been quite the year learning how to take a sketch of a spaceship to a detailed resin print you can turn over in your hand. It feels like wizardry ✨

Spent so many months getting these models mathematically perfect in CAD software, but also tuned as shapes to have a satisfactory balance. The rail corvette is a design that ended up in an interesting place as it came later in the process and evolved out of the shared language of the other ships. Something clicked when it got those kind of shield skates tho. Was looking at mecha and they also have awesome plates and armor.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying some nice weather!

When I started getting into 3d printing I had no idea how small and detailed a piece the common resin machine can spit out. These guys can balance on your fingertip, but shortly I'd like to try some much larger oversized prints. What do you think of the design, and whats more interesting to you big foot sized models or tiny miniatures?

​

This is a render from blender cycles while I got some nice photos taken of the fleet I designed in CAD. No AI used.

I rendered the piece in Blender to show the medium range of combat ships for my project Nullvector in a cinematic setting with full paintjobs and liveries.

​

The base models were created as CAD sculpts for 3d printing in Plasticity. No AI, just painstakingly detailed by hand out of love for cool spaceships. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!

When I was designing this battleship I wanted it to have that broad wing stance so that it felt grand, like an eagle soaring over the fleet, but also brutal and militaristic in articulation.

This model and the rest of the fleet was created in Plasticity (CAD) and then rendered in Blender cycles. There are physical resin prints on of them but I'm still in the process of getting good photos.

Just in case there's any AI hunters this was 100% handcrafted in Plasticity (CAD software), textured in Substance Painter and rendered in Blender Cycles by me (a human).

Battleships in orbit with escort frigates and corvettes.

The STL models for these designs serve as proxies for popular tabletop games like A Billion Suns and Full

What do you think of the designs?

The Battleship for the expedition fleet went through a pretty dramatic design process to arrive at this distinct "bird of prey" layout that incorporates the faction's shape language.

Love to hear your thoughts!

My dream for the ship models of Nullvector is to capture some of the feeling of playing with Star Wars micro machines as a kid, or playing Homeworld for the first time.

These were some inspirations for paintjobs featuring the assault frigates.

Strikecraft have a special role in a fleet's design as they represent the most human-scale design elements and the most agile wing of a combat fleet.

In Nullvector they retain some aspects of aerodynamics and gravity-bound profiling to appear intuitively sleek and nimble. We have strong associations with real air fighters, and the design constraints on these aircraft are strong signals for sci-fi ships that share similar roles.

As thanks for following along on this journey and supporting my work I wanted to share this spaceship model for any of the patreon members to have fun with printing and/or painting.
