Blow The Hatchby *steve-burg

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Scenes / Futuristic & Sci-Fi

Another homage to a favorite sci-fi movie - "Planet of the Apes".

I liked the "planet" as much as the "apes" - and the opening scenes of the spaceship crashing and sinking, stranding the astronauts on a (so they thought) distant and inhospitable planet left a very strong and lasting impression.

This is a 3D scene created in Lightwave. I did some manipulation in Photoshop, and painted the splashes and smoke trailing from the escape hatch cover. The burned hull ship texture was also painted in Photoshop during the modeling phase.

The content is of course property of 20th Century Fox

Too realistic

I thought that it was a picture, when i first saw it!

Beautiful image! Really photographic

.

BTW, there's a plastic model available of a conceptual "complete" Icarus: [link]

Thanks very much!

Also, thanks for the link. I never imagined the back of the ship looking like that! It's always been kind of a mystery to me, since it wasn't shown in the film. (My CG model just continues back and more or less just ends in a flat plane)

gorgeous!

Always thought the spacecraft looked cool but don't think you ever saw the whole thing (must have been much bigger at launch) ?

*steve-burg Sep 19, 2011 Professional Filmographer

They never showed the whole ship - but considering it was on an interstellar flight, it must have been much larger than the portion seen above the water

Heh, Classic!
