I've just noticed the Comms and Nav towers don't look the same, making it easier to differentiate between the two (Comms looks like the bridge for the Hecate).

Also the ship looks bigger. Maybe its the antennas on the ears?

Very excited.

[Nyctaeus]

Small lights + lots of plating lines + antennae + small windows. Couple tricks to make ship looking bigger. She's 2km-long warship at least :].

The windows are probably the size of a house anyway

[Nightmare]

There's nothing better than watching Shivan bombers firing at you from behind house sized windows!

[Nyctaeus]

If I could, I would make them even smaller just like rest of the details. I always wanted to paint details of quasi-realistic scale, but a very nature of the UV is unfortunately severely limiting me in this regard. She uses 4 unique textures, so UV isles are very tightly packed to keep performance at reasonable rate. If I make windows and details any smaller, they will just appear extremely blurry.

Modelling big-ass capships is an art of compromises

Compromise = Compromised

It's supposed to be the ultimate, final Hecate eva; it deserves to have a million polies!

Also the windows "to scale" would be stupidly small and lacking in the department of Rule Of Cool. Also who puts windows on a warship anyway, especially in large sightseeing deck configuration?

Volition. Tons of them :]. Unfortunately I have to consider every example of 's supidity, laziness etc.

I would~

People overly concerned with making use of the most reliable back-up navigation system known to humankind, which is, of course, enlisted crew.

EDIT: I realize there is hardly anyone here who gets "navy humor" - the joke is that "there is no other use for the enlisted crew on a ship but busy work".

[Colonol Dekker]

I get that reference, Army equivalent being "**** jobs", "time appreciation", "block jobs", "you're in your own time now" and my favourite, "see that tree, run around it".

O mighty Hecate, the Goddess of Darkness! By the laws of ship forging, texture shaping and beer drinking...



I forge you a new body... And summon you to this world :]

[Nightmare]

Awww, such a lovely thing~

[Mito [PL]]

Christ, man. You're churning out such outstanding ships in such short periods of time. I can barely believe the things I'm seeing...

[Colonol Dekker]

Can't wait to be inside her.

[Rampage]

Nyx is launching the Community into a Renaissance.

[Colonol Dekker]

He uses blender doesn't he... Tool of gods.

[DefCynodont119]

That looks incredibility awesome.

Interesting with the "wings" on the side being ramps now.

[Trivial Psychic]

Too bad about how the engine plumes are partially visible through the hull though... but at least that's an engine problem, not a model problem.

The diabolical creepiness of this statement is totally overshadowed by the awesomeness of these pics.

Yeah, I'd like to see that fixed too. I expect it will be.
