I know I really need to finish one my other projects before starting another one (preferably before some one decides to beat me) but the modeling bug bit me and I just couldn't stop myself.

Thoughts?

[Commander Zane]

Damn.
That's all I have to say.

[Droid803]

Nice Taurvi looks nice.

[colecampbell666]

Sexy.

[Rodo]

The model looks good right now, some more work on it and It might be done alright.

The one thing I don't like are those recesses on the back fins... I feel they should be just plain or maybe with less amount of detail over there.

[Aardwolf]

Make sure to leave places for the engines

[Droid803]

The things on the back fins remind me of the things on the High-Poly Ravana. I like it.

[Raven2001]

Lookin good for a start!

I'm very pleased that there's being a Shivan HTLization spree... finally da bad guys are being given some justice

[Galemp]

I like it lots! Very spiky, very Shivan.

How are you going to treat the missile bays in front? I personally would like to see each of the spots made into a small dome, like the top of a Tsunami.

[Retsof]

You are amazing... that's all I have to say...

[Narvi]

Shivans are spiky, natch. Should be polygonal.

[GT-Keravnos]

Great job there. Another one down for the count.

[Black Wolf]

Oh! Very nice. Simple yet cool.

[BrotherBryon]

Thanks for all the feed back. I will work on the missile bays and see what I can do. Past attempts at modeling individual missile tubes haven't gone well for me but I think I've gotten a bit better and feel ready to try again.  As for the recesses on the back fins, they are based off the original textures and are consistent with other areas on the model that had similar texture work. Removing them at this point would break consistency and since I'm well under the polly budget it doesn't make too much sense to do so.

It'll be interesting to see how you handle the missile banks.

There's more to Shivans than being spiky. (Particularly FS1 Shivans, but acknowledged, Taurvi was introduced in FS2)

yes, they are known to be mean also

sorry.. I just had to do that.

[Ziame]

Spikey shivans ftw

Gr8 model dude

I can't agree with you more.

Missile Tubes

Attempt 1

Attempt 2


By brotherbryon at 2009-06-09

Which one do you all like better or any suggestions as to how to approach them better? The first one has the most pollys and makes use of several different tube sizes in order to fit where as the second one only uses 2. The reason I went with recessed tubes is because of the angles of the missile bays themselves.
