I'm going to start an old project, I'm going to create a manga called "Macross: The Untold Story", it will be made all in 3D but it will look like a manga, meaning, the graphics will be tweaked to look like drawings, it will have textures of course and it will be in colour. For now I'm just creating the 3D models.

I have already created most of the 3D models, I'm working at the moment on the SDF-1, but you can see a test image of me looking for some kind of a drawing feeling in my 3D models, take a look in this UNFINISHED image of the VF-1A Valkyrie aircraft:

I'm still tweaking the settings to get it right, to look like it was done with a pencil and not 3D, those models aren't finished btw, lacking textures and other stuff but that will be done in the future.

The lead character will be a female char, called:

CHIYOKO (From Japanese 千 (chi) "thousand" and 代 (yo) "generations" and 子 (ko) "child".)

Chiyoko is shy, likes to stay on the shadow of others but always shows some light here and there. Chiyoko is 18 years old, parents are in another colony, (spacestations where people live). Chiyoko likes to drink Cola alot and has an urge for ramen, (ラーメン (拉麺 ) a Japanese noodle dish that originated in China), she can't help it, it's Ramen! She is stronger then one thinks.

The main plot is different from Robotech and Macross stories but with some elements from those stories, it's mostly a tale of strength and hope.

I'll post more details in the near future, hopefully in 2 months time I will start submitting the manga.
