This model is 2068 polies. You'll have to excuse the makeshift textures, I don't know what method Raa used on his gas tanks.
Using this method I bet I can get the final Zephyrus under 10k polygons; I figure 2k for each side, a thousand for the bottom tanks, another 2000 for the tanks on the back end, and then all the other miscellaneous greebling I'd like to do on the intakes and engines.

Could a mod/admin change the thread title, please.

This is a lotta progress on the tanks, but there's of course much more that could be done with the more generic tiled bits. Working from the concept art, I think I'd like to keep it fairly blocky but with the occasional doodad here and there.

The person with the closest guess to the current polycount wins a prize!

Note: prize is intangible and nonexistant.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Is there any detailing on that tripod collar thingy sticking out of he bottom?
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

Its true to the concept but it just looks to bland to be assoticated with the rest of the ship in my opinion.

Meh. Tried something, didn't really work out. I may try a different approach.

By the look of the concept art, the leg on the bottom there really should be completely rectangular.  The diamond profile from below just doesn't work in my opinion.

Otherwise, I'm mightily impressed.  How many textures are we up to at this point?
who needs a signature? ;)

At the moment, 8, but I'm sure at least one of them is redundant.

Yeah, I'll remodel the bottom fin from scratch, see what turns out.

Holy crap. I had stopped working on it and completely forgot how much progress I had made; sure, I came across the folder in my Freespace files and thought "oh, there are those tanks again. I should do something about that sometime."

Well. I'm working on the Ravana right now but I'm sure I'll think of something to do with the end of the fin.
