The Full Scale Millennium Falcon Project

Here’s the latest 3D render of our full-size model with a cutaway showing how the interior will fit inside the exterior.

This is the true full-scale 114′ foot long version that we are building, not the movie set replica size. It uses the DK Blueprints for the floorplan with 90% of the kinks worked out for the interior.

More to come soon, including another video walkthrough. Stay tuned!

UPDATE: Here’s the video walkthrough: Latest 3D animation

This model, which is a rough draft, was built by team member Stinson Lentz in SketchUp v8 from blueprints and screencaps from the production of Star Wars (NOT from any of the spin off materials or technical manuals.) This model also includes the Med bay as seen in ESB, interpreted and constructed from screencaps.

Built in Sketchup v8, animated with the Proper Animation plugin, and exported with the Smooth Step plugin. All models were designed by team member Stinson Lenz using original blueprints from the production of Star Wars, as well as screencaps and behind the scenes stills and footage.

Here’s a short test of the Vray rendering engine on part of a previous walkthrough by team member Stinson Lenz. The visual results are impressive. This file was originally posted to YouTube on Jan 3, 2012.

Originally published on April 7, 2012, here’s another detailed walkthrough created by team member Stinson Lenz, starting with the entrance to Docking Bay 94. This rendering includes texture and image mapping, as well as a good deal of time spent in the main hold.
