More Modo Modeling for Steem Wars

I have modeled two ships for the Steem Wars Dronefly crew, the Dronefly itself and the Maverick. There were some changes desired on the Dronefly, namely the larval stage of a dronefly, upon which the general shape of the ship is based, has a tail, like this.

So I fired up Modo and had a tinker around until I came up with this.

Now, you may be asking yourself what the hell is that part halfway down the tail? I was sent this precision engineered diagram from @rhondak with details of how this would dock with the Maverick.

*Such wow*</center>

After resizing the Maverick and modeling the docking section, @rhondak was happy with this result.

I then exported the models and took them into Keyshot for rendering.

I actually rendered two passes, the main one then an ambient occlusion pass to add deeper shadows. Here's the AO pass for that image.

<a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454338631927070722/untitled.108AO.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454338631927070722/untitled.108AO.jpg"/></a>

It can be a subtle effect, but here on the left is the image with AO added - a multiply layer in Photoshop - and the right image has no AO.

<a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454339852364939275/Capture.PNG"><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454339852364939275/Capture.PNG"/></a>

I also rendered a couple of other views and composited the AO on them too.

<a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454359488821067790/dronefly.115withAO.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454359488821067790/dronefly.115withAO.jpg"/></a>

<a href="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454364896050544640/dronefly.117withAO.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446156478781325322/454364896050544640/dronefly.117withAO.jpg"/></a>
