Did you use deform to make any of the shapes used their? Im trying to break out of angular designs.

Sweep
Tip
Delete face
Add face
polygon draw
polygon bevel
Uv tools and glueing tools
I use no deforms or boolean on my ships. All are one one primitive which are swept out basically (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

The top one looks much better, unfortunatly I only have Amapi 4.15 (on a mag) so my High poly skills are limited... severly!

I think the ship is REALLY cool (apart from the big beam thing, with out it it is better)
Textures are standard, in use but nicely done it looks good. over all I would say... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

it needs the big beam thing! think of homeworld:cataclysm, the KUUN-LAN (or whatever), was just a worthless mining ship that built really slow. But with the seige cannon it had some actual combat use!

Anyway, back on topic..
That ship doesnt seem big, but it sure does look like it could take a beating and keep on going...

This ship is the third of this design type, the cannon was added to make it a bit more different to the other two.
It was made from a cylinder, not a cube, the hangers don't go all the way through but are massive and it will be able to take a pounding (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Sorry, didn't realize you were using... that. Gets extra credit for effort- up to a "hmm..."!

Booleans in pretty much every 3d modeller suck, and should be avoided as much as possible. Admittedly, Truespace has some of the worst. However, if you've got half a clue about your tools, you can get the same affect as a boolean with nearly the same speed but much more reliably.
In fact, about the only thing I would trust to a boolean is a 2d polygon, and even then, copying points and building a whole new poly is probably just as fast.

lol, in max, it's the one I avoid most, 2d polyguns, it will never remove the faces right

By the way, what's the bottom one called? Just out of curiosity.

Of course, you do have... *snort* TrueSpace but some decent modelers out there do make minimal messes, and they're fairly easy to clean up anyhow...
I don't use booleans, dude, and it doesn't take a month for me to make a model (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
