Description
This is the R-9 Arrowhead spaceship from Irem's classic shooter, R-TYPE. I decided to model and texture it for an assessment task. It's my first time modelling something from scratch without using any tutorials.

I had to rush to make the deadline. This particular picture was from after I added colour to the ambient occlusion map. I decided not to post pictures of the version I submitted because the detail and shaders were rushed and looked terrible.

I later redid the textures and added the Force and Bits. [link]

The model consists of 3502 triangles. I spent about 3 days modelling and unwrapping in Maya, and less than a day texturing in Adobe Photoshop. I wasted a lot of time trying to make out the details on parts that weren't visible in my reference images.

Here is an updated version of the model and texture composed upon a space backdrop: [link]
