This is my first ‘space ship’ cover that I’ve done. I wanted a ship I could play with and the only way to do that is with a 3D model. I found a 3d-Artist on DeviantArt named ‘Vattalus’ who had this cool (really cool) 3d Model called the Paladin Battleship. I contacted him and after a few miscommunications in email (my fault, not his), he provided me the license to screen capture his ship and place it into my cover. Check out an incredible video of his work here as well!
All I had to do was buy the model, and learn UNITY enough to make it happen. Fortunately, I was able to fumble around enough to figure out how to make his model ‘come alive’ and it only took about 3 tries before I got the angle I wanted with my selected background.
I present to you the QBS <to be revealed in the new book!>…
