Desperate Defence

This piece is the culmination of my sci-fi ship designs. Continuing the idea of adding detail via displacement textures rather than traditional modelling, the main capital ship is actually very simple in terms of geometry. Instead, complex displacement textures add tons of detail to the overall design. This piece features the Chaos Runner ship from my previous piece and also includes simulated explosions created in X-Particles and rendered as VDB volumes. The general look and feel is meant to evoke a more hand painted feel akin to a digital matte painting.
