A 3D illustration of an alien dart shaped spaceship in the sky above a future city

This spaceship is hovering the sky above a deserted human city on a planet in the far corner of the science fiction universe of some film, book or
even role-playing game. The spaceship design was created with Blender and is without detail or surface structure. This 3D illustration was actually
more of an experiment with the very basic first steps in creating a mesh. It has an alien simplicity precisely because it doesn't have anything fancy
about it.
There is no texture, no surface detail, even the colour of the object is the default Blender mesh colour.

Since creating this spaceship image I have of course gone on to create many more complex and accomplished designs, but this one has a stark
beauty that has meant that I have been loath to bump it from pride of place in my collection of spaceship illustrations here at Starbright.

The building in the illustration isn't created with any 3D software but is in fact a building from quite near one of the places I was working here in
Vienna. The spaceship is simply composited in behind the building with Photoshop.

I like the effect so much that I have been taking lots of pictures of futuristic looking roofs as I go about my perambulations, and most of them will
eventually be turning up here in the gallery, with a spaceship attached in some way or other in the very near future.
