So, I was watching through some of my Stargate SG1 boxset the other day, like the huge Stargate fan that I am and it hit me; I have never actually created a 3D model of a Stargate. I always meant to and I always wanted to. So on Wednesday evening I started to model a Stargate. I wanted to get as much detail as possible in on this model and really push myself. I created the symbols, all the minor shapes and such that are found on the Stargate without using textures ‘tricks’ such as bump mapping to create the effects. Everything is polygon modelled (I sometimes go crazy like that) To me it looks pretty accurate to an actual Stargate, and I am even pretty happy with how the render came out. Think I will post the technique I used to create the render in the next few days just for anyone who is curious. Anyway, a few close-ups of the gate below. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think. Oh! And click the above image for a larger image.
