Were there any modeling challenges you had in creating a ship of this size [the Caterpillar], the first big ship created in LA?
Elwin Bachiller Jr.Lead Ship Artist, Los Angeles
Well, the biggest challenge is just the volume of content. The Caterpillar has 14 spaces in it. I'm including hallways and staircases and things like that, but they're all spaces that have to be built. And so going from something like a Reliant, which has two tiny little spaces, to a Caterpillar, which has massive, massive spaces and many spaces, it just comes down to the volume of content we have to produce. That's the biggest challenge for us, is time.

Oh wow, in poly count? I'll give you a number: probably three.
