Definitive Millennium Falcon Interior

Well... here we go again. My first model of the New Hope interior of the Falcon was made waaaay back when I was just learning sketchup. It is a mess, to say the least. So, armed with new skills and knowledge (and a fair amount of time borrowed from somewhere) I've started an all new model of the interior.

Starting with a photomatch, and working my way from there, this is as far as I've come.

my goal is to make a model that, when rendered, is indistinguishable from what we see on screen in A New Hope... no sweat, right?

and just for the sake of bragging, here is the geometry of the model overlaid with the perspective matched photo of the real set.

Further updates. more junk for everybody!

Full Scale Falcon Basic Structure

I have the dubious honor of being the guy who figures out how the famously impossible interior of the Millennium Falcon could work in reality. Over the holiday weekend, I came a hell of lot closer.

This is pretty much the final layout, designed at 1:1 scale, of the planned Falcon.

next step, structural engineering to make sure this baby would hold together...

be sure to watch the video flythrough of the interior space, at the bottom of the page!

Imperial Star Destroyer (WIP)

Landspeeder

Well, this is the last one. I've made a model of every craft that appears in A New Hope. Lots of details still need to be completed, but the project is nearly over. Whew.

here's my laundry list of all the vehicles.

Night on the Dune Sea

The Droids of A New Hope

A work in progress that I'll be updating periodically.

All droids are in order of appearance (left to right, if multiple droids have their first appearance in the same shot).

all of these were made in sketchup.

more to come...

Full Reverse!
