It started out as Terran, but I kind of thought it looked a little Vasudan.

GE, you're right, I think it should be Ancient.

Here's a cruddy Ancients skinned one.

I wanted it to look organic, so the back fin is kind of warped.

100 exactly, but no thrusters, LODs, or debris...

i like the model.  maybe a bit plain and low poly, but with thrusters, etc. i'm sure it will look better.  give it some thrusters, weapons, etc. and re post it, so we can have a look at the finished product

Actually there is something I just like about that hull design even though it is low poly. I'm sure with a little bit of experiementation you could improve it but I think it looks rather good. :nod:

I took a look at the mesh, what modelling program did you use? The tail section is warped and the engines are pretty different in shape, there's also a lot of unnecessary polys. I'm not berating you I just think you should keep working on the mesh.

I've fixed the tail warp.


I did the model in Blender.

I still build most of my models in Rhino it's exceptionally user friendly and very very accurate.

If you like blender try GMax, using the md3 (Quake 3) exporter and a converter (blender might actually work) you have a powerful freeware modeller with all of the modelling tools of 3DSmax.

Is it free? I don't have money to spend on 3d modeling tools.

No no Blender is the way to go.

Hades if you use the subsuf function you might be able to detect edges and faces that aren't suppose to be in a model.

I've used both max 3.1 and GMax, I thought they were pretty similar in most respects as far as modelling is concerned. *shrugs*
